The same mistake NO! Doosan terminated its contract with Hatch after a medical test → The standards were bound to be tight

Earlier on the 19th of last month, Doosan officially announced that it had signed a total contract of 1 million dollars (about 1.45 billion won) with Hatch. On Nov. 15, he caught Major League Baseball starting Cole Irvin for $1 million. Doosan formed a foreign one-two punch very quickly and seemed to have finished the big homework of the stove league smoothly.
Reorganizing foreign pitchers was the first task Doosan had to solve. In 2024, Doosan was out for the season with injuries before Raul Alcantara and Brandon Waddell passed less than the first half. Replacements Jordan Balazovic and Kirakawa Kisho combined for four wins, which collapsed the starting lineup.
Doosan moved quickly. In the case of Hatch, although it was stamped in November, they agreed to conduct a more precise medical test during the winter meeting in December. Of course, a clause that terminates the contract in the event of a problem was inserted. A Doosan official explained, `We had no choice but to conduct a very tight medical test this time because we suffered a lot from foreign pitcher injuries this year.'
Doosan has already selected other foreign pitchers. Doosan's new pitcher after terminating the contract with Hatch is known as Jack Rogue, a left-hander from the Major League. Rogue recorded 3 wins, 8 losses and a 7.20 ERA in 70 innings (10 starts) in the Major League. In 2024, he recorded 5 wins, 6 losses and a 2.59 ERA in 25 games (13 starts) in the minor leagues.
