South Korea's left-handed ace pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong has virtually confirmed his participation in Texas at the US pro baseball. First of all, it is a minor contract, but there is a high possibility of promotion to the major leagues.

Yang Hyeon-jong agreed to a detailed contract with the Texas Rangers after a long review.
It is known as a so-called split contract, in which a minor leaguer status is invited to major spring camps to compete for promotion.
Although it is a minor contract, Texas, with a weak starter, is considered the best team for Yang Hyun-jong to achieve his'major league dream'.
Currently, the only obvious big league starters in Texas are Kyle Gibson, Poltinevic and Japanese Arihara, with many pitchers competing for the remaining two or three positions.
There are no special prospects, and the younger pitchers have stopped growing as the minor league was canceled last season.
The lack of a prominent left-handed candidate is also a boon for Yang Hyun-jong.
Reporter Evan Grant, who is dedicated to Texas, said through social media, "Hyunjong Yang could be another option in the Texas selection rotation this season."
As soon as Yang Hyeon-jong is issued a work visa, he goes to the US to undergo a medical test, signs a contract, and begins the challenge.
