Doosan Bears' foreign hitter Jake Cave returns to the first team.

Cave was registered in the first team ahead of the home game against the Hanwha Eagles at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 10th.

He was excluded from the first team entry on the 31st of last month and called up to the first team in 10 days.




Cave is a foreign hitter recruited by Doosan this season for $1 million in the upper limit of foreign players in their first year. Cave, who made his major league debut with the Minnesota Twins in 2018, had a batting average of 236, 45 homers, 176 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.692 in 523 games in seven seasons. As an active big leaguer who played 123 games in the big league last year, Doosan put a lot of effort into recruiting him.

Although it received a lot of attention, it slowed down to a batting average of 240 in nine exhibition games and remained a batting average of 214 in eight games since the opening.

To make matters worse, he overlapped with body aches, and eventually had time to reorganize in the Futures League. Cave, who started as the first batter and designated hitter in the Hanwha Eagles and Futures game held at Bears Park in Icheon on the 8th, showed good performance by scoring two hits and one strikeout from three times at bat, and added a hit in the Futures game against Hanwha on the 9th.

During his time at Futures, he also showed his affection for the team. On the 9th, a day before the first-team call-up, he called a coffee car to Futures and served coffee to the team and staff. Doosan explained "Cave called a coffee car and served 150 drinks to thank the Futures League team and its staff for their hard work."

At the time, Cave knew that the second-tier players and staff were doing the hard work. I ordered a coffee car to thank them for their hard work. It's not a big deal, but I hope you drink and cheer up. As he recovered well, he said, "I will return to Jamsil as soon as possible and show you a good performance."

The first-team call-up took place in order. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `I didn't have any problems with my legs or body, but I thought I would come up when I recovered because I was sick. I thought I should raise it because I'm a foreigner regardless of my grades."




Cave will start as the second batter. On this day, Doosan formed the starting lineup in the order of Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Cave (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kang Seung-ho (third baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Choo Jae-hyun (left fielder), Park Gye-beom (striker), and Oh Myung-jin (second baseman).
