Yang Eui-ji is known as a popular All-Star catcher. He has also found his new home in the NC Dinos, as reported well in korea sports news sites. As Yang joins the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) through the NC Dinos, Yang has been more outgoing than his usual quiet self. And this is a good sign, as it means that he feels comfortable and welcome in his new team.
For those who are into baseball betting, Yang is practically a household name in Korea. Especially after being with the Doosan Bears for the past 13 years. But this season will be different, as he signed a 4-year contract with the NC Dinos that is worth 12.5 billion won, or $11 million. This is big news, as this is the highest ever contract price for a catcher. Not just for the season, but throughout the whole history of the KBO
Baseball Player is at home
31-year old Yang has said that he worries about adjusting to a new team. But despite being new to the team, not all players are strangers to him. He has, in fact, two former teammates who he will be joining soon. Son Si-heon and Yong Deok-han, are both familiar faces to Yang, and has been helping him adjust to his new team.
Yang has also been keeping busy, aside from training, to getting to know his teammates. There is a misconception that he is quite a difficult person to get to know, so he has been taking time to disprove that notion. He now gets to joke around with even the younger players in the Dinos.
Any team would be happy to have Yang. A popular catcher, he is considered to be one of the best in the KBO. He is good in both offense and defensive. His career hitting is .299 with 5 20-homer seasons. In addition, Yang also has 4 Golden Gloves.
Of course, the Dinos hope that Yang can breathe fresh air into the team and help them improve their performance. They also hope that Yang could be a good mentor to the younger players in the team.
