Former Doosan foreign hitter Jared Young, who reportedly signed a one-year contract with the New York Mets, has been revealed.안전놀이터

The Associated Press reported on the 18th (Korea time) that the Mets signed a one-year contract with the infielder Young. Young will receive an annual salary of 1.15 million dollars in the Major League and 425,000 dollars in the Minor League.

Young signed a split contract with the Mets and is on the 40-man roster of Major League Baseball. Therefore, his current status is a major leaguer. However, if he is demoted to a minor league, his salary will change.

Young, 29, struggled with strikeouts during his limited major league career, but performed well in the minors and in South Korea.

In 22 appearances for the Cubs in 2022 and 2023, they recorded a 29% strikeout rate in 69 at-bats, leaving them with a .210/.290/.435 line and a wRC+ 98.

After signing a contract with the Doosan Bears in the KBO League in July, he hit 10 home runs in 38 games, recording a whopping 172 wRC+ with the .326/.420/.660 line. He was most likely to renew his contract, but failed to reach an agreement with Doosan and left Korea.

Doosan signed a total of 1 million dollars (down payment of 200,000 and annual salary of 800,000 dollars) with Jake Cave instead of Young.
