Lotte Giants recruited Alec Gamboa, a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers Triple-A in the Major League Baseball, as a substitute for Barnes on the 14th.
Lotte signed with Gamboa for a transfer fee of $100,000 and an annual salary of $330,000 (annual salary of 300,000 and option 30,000).
Gamboa is a left-hander with a height of 1m85 and 92kg. He has a lot of experience in starting and has an average fastball of 151 km at high RBIs. He played 131 games in the minor leagues, recorded 359.2 innings with a 4.23 ERA, and posted a 28-21 record in 41 games as a starter.
As a left-hander, the club evaluated that he will perform well in the KBO based on his fast arrest, slider and change-up, and he expects to be able to quickly adapt to the KBO League as a good player with a good walk-edge that puts the team first.
"I am very happy and proud to be able to take on a new challenge for the Lotte Giants, the most popular club in the KBO League," Gamboa said. "I will play my role as a starting pitcher so that I can quickly adapt as a member of the team and contribute to the team's advance to the postseason rather than individual performance."
Gamboa will enter Korea on the 16th and adjust the pitching schedule after going through the necessary administrative procedures.
