Jared greeted the team in the locker room ahead of the game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 30th. He was registered in the first-team entry on the day, and his number was 95. It was not included in the starting lineup.
Doosan recruited Henry Ramos as a foreign hitter this season. Ramos batted .35 with 10 home runs in 80 games this season, and showed a consistent batting average of .34 with 3 home runs in July. However, he was often exposed to regret during the game, and as his pace dropped a little, he could not avoid the replacement blade in the end.
Canada's right-handed left-handed outfielder and first baseman Jarrod Young has a physical condition of 1m85 and a weight of 92kg.
After receiving a 15-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 rookie draft, he made his major league debut in the 2022 Cubs uniform. He had a batting average of 212 home runs, eight RBIs, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.725 in 22 games in two major league seasons.
This season, he played in 74 games for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds under the St. Louis Cardinals with a batting average of 285, 11 homers, 35 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.917.
Doosan has been interested in Jared since last year. Not only Doosan, but also clubs that needed to replace foreign batters this season also sent love calls to Jared.
A Doosan official said, `It was a batter I had been trying to recruit since last year. Last year, I couldn't sign a contract because I wanted to challenge myself to the major leagues"I contacted Ramos even when he was sluggish at the beginning of the season, but his team said it would not solve it, so it did not lead to recruitment." Recently, he said, "I moved right away because I heard it was possible to recruit him."

Recently, Doosan hopes that Jared, who has sophistication and long-shot power, will revitalize the lineup amid a slump in team batting. A Doosan official also explained, `Jared also knows how important a role he has played in the team.'
After greeting the locker room, Jared said "It's my first time in Korea, but I had a lot of expectations. Thank you for your welcome. I'll do my best to show you good performances"He expressed his determination.
Meanwhile, Doosan registered Jared, Jang Kyu-bin and Kim Jae-ho in the first division entry. On the 29th, a day earlier, Park Joon-young and Jeon Da-min were excluded from the entry, and the calligraphy day was additionally canceled.
Doosan made the starting lineup in the order of Lee Yoo-chan (left fielder), Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Heo Kyung-min (third baseman), Kim Jae-ho (striker), Kim Ki-yeon (possession), and Cho Soo-haeng (right fielder).
