The Atlanta Braves announced on the 6th (Korean time), “Infielder Park Hyo-joon has completely moved to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers.”

Park Hyo-joon, who graduated from Yatap High School, entered the American stage in 2015 by signing with the New York Yankees. Park Hyo-jun, who went through the Yankees’ minor league team, stepped on the major league stage for the first time in the 2021 season. He went 1 at bat for the Yankees. Then he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In Pittsburgh, he played in 44 games and recorded 25 hits in 127 at-bats, 4 homers, 14 RBIs, a batting average of 0.197 and an OPS of 0.638. In the 2022 season, he went 11-for-51 in 23 games, 2 home runs, 6 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.216 OPS of 0.649.

Since then, Park Hyo-joon has been assigned three nominations (DFA) ahead of this season. He was DFA in Pittsburgh last November. And during his waiver, he was traded to the Boston Red Sox and seemed to be looking for a new team. However, Boston dealt with Hyo-Jun Park by DFA to make room for Kenley Jansen in December. The team that reached out to Park Hyo-joon, who was DFA, was Atlanta. But at the end of December, I was DFA again.

In the end, Park Hyo-joon was in a situation where he had to try to enter the big leagues once again while playing in the minor leagues. “MLB Trade Rumors”, an American media outlet, said, “Park Hyo-joon continues to attract attention due to his versatility and speed in defense despite his lack of offensive power last season.” He can play all three positions in the infield except for . If his offense can go even a little to mediocre, he could be a valuable contributor.”토토
