Not that great of a pitcher, on a terrible team, in an A ball league.
Funny how foreigners dominate that league every year, move on to Japan or MLB, yet never come close in any MVP voting.

Japan and America's baseball history are much longer. There has been some good talent to come out of the KBO - Tyrone Woods, Lee Seung Yeop, etc.
Tyrone Woods' KBO stats:
1998 OB Bears .305, 42 HR, 103 RBI
1999 Doosan Bears .297, 34 HR, 101 RBI
2000 Bears .315, 39 HR, 111 RBI
2001 Bears .291, 34 HR, 113 RBI
2002 Bears .256, 25 HR, 82 RBI
His numbers aren't far off from those he put up in Japan. I think it's on the individual player more than anything.
Ruben Mateo was supposed to be the big signing this season in Korea, but he hit .223 with five home runs after 34 games and was released.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

24 year old right handed pitcher Oh Sung Hwan won the Rookie of the Year Award as he went 10-1 with a 1.18 ERA in 61 games (99 IP).
Some players get a late start because every male in South Korea has to fulfill two years of military service.
