Doosan Bears also took out a replacement card for foreign hitters.

Doosan signed a total of $300,000 (about 400 million won) with foreign hitter Jared Young on the 23rd. He asked the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) to announce waivers for outfielder Henry Ramos.

Canadian left-handed left-handed outfielder and first baseman Jarrod Young was a 15-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 rookie draft, with a physical condition of 1 m85 and a weight of 92 kg.



Jared Young, who made his major league debut in the 2022 Cubs uniform, hit 212 home runs, eight RBIs, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.725 in 22 games in two 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 .917. Triple-A's overall performance is 0.268, 54 home runs, 184 RBIs, and 0.852 OPS in 310 games.

A Doosan official said "Jared Young has a good batting eye and long hitters with good batting power enough to record an on-base percentage of 0.411 in Triple-A this season." "We judged that he had the skills of his heyday enough to hit 32 home runs in Triple-A in the last two years.", he explained.

Jared Young will join the team after completing the administrative process.



Meanwhile, Ramos, a foreign hitter, was able to pack up. Ramos was batting .35 with 10 homers in 80 games this season. He showed a consistent batting average of .34 with three home runs during the month of July, but many criticism continued in his attitude toward the game.

Doosan used up both foreign replacement cards when it recruited Young. On the 4th, he sent out Raul Alcantara and signed Jordan Balazovic for a total of $250,000.
