Hanwha Eagles recruited free agent Kang Baek-ho on the 20th. The contract is worth up to 10 billion won, including 5 billion won in down payment, 3 billion won in annual salary, and 2 billion won in options for four years.
As a result of participating in the stove league with the aim of strengthening the batting after the end of the season, Hanwha Eagles succeeded in recruiting Kang Baek-ho with strong batting production capabilities, raising expectations for strengthening the batting depth.
Kang Baek-ho joined KT Wiz as the No. 1 player in the second round in 2018 and recorded 29 home runs in his first season, recording a career batting average of 330%, 136 home runs, 565 RBIs, and 0.876 OPS for eight seasons.
Hanwha said, "(The joining of right-handed slugger Noh Si-hwan, who had 32 home runs this season, and left-handed slugger Kang Baek-ho will enable us to build a strong and daunting lineup."
Kang Baek-ho said, `I am truly grateful to the Hanwha Eagles for recognizing my value so that I can play baseball in a good environment under good conditions,' adding, `As I came to the team that performed well this season, I will also do my best to become a better team by supporting the good players in the team from next season.'
