Ho-Kon Jang  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Jang has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Jang, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
Jang will make routine plays, but like most young pitchers he needs more experience to improve as a fielder. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Jang is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jang has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Jang was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Jang? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Jang.
