Orioles secure Kim
Print Edition
South Korean outfielder Kim Hyun-soo finalized a two-year Major League Baseball contract worth US$7 million on Wednesday with the Baltimore Orioles.
The 27-year-old left-handed hitter will make US$3.5 million a season after hitting .318 over 10 seasons with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization.
Kim established career highs of 28 home runs and 121 runs batted in while walking 101 times over 141 games last season. “I was very eager to come to MLB,” Kim said. “I’m so (happy) I could cry.”
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said he expects Kim to play left field and possibly at first base and he likes how Kim’s talents fit into the Orioles’ home ballpark, Camden Yards.
