Australian batter Alex Hall (27), who made a strong impression on domestic fans by hitting a home run against Hanwha Eagles national pitcher Moon Dong-joo (23) at the 2023 Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC), will wear an Ulsan Wales uniform.

Ulsan Wales officially announced on the 4th that it has recruited Alex Hall, an Australian national team from the Minor League, for a total of $90,000.

The Ulsan club said, "The hole has a physical condition of 180cm 92kg and can play various positions such as catcher, first baseman, and outfielder. He explained, "He is evaluated as a player who will lead the team's central batting line with a right-handed hit."

Alex Hall is a very familiar name for baseball fans in Korea. He played as a member of the Australian national team at the 2023 APBC and made a strong impression by scoring a solo home run over the left fence against then-newcomer Moon Dong-ju in the sixth inning when he faced the Korean national team 1-1. In the game, the Korean national team won 3-2 after a match, but it was a horrifying arch.

In particular, he is a batter who does not discriminate between left and right at-bats as a switch heater. In October last year, Alex Hall played in the Miyazaki Education League as a member of the Doosan Bears and even took a test for the Asian quarter, but was rejected. However, he entered the KBO Futures League through Ulsan.

Hall, who has experience in the U.S. professional baseball minor league (under the Milwaukee Brewers), has maintained his sense of practice by playing as a mainstay in the Australian Baseball League (ABL) Perth Heat.

The Ulsan club seems to have paid attention to Hall's versatile defensive positioning ability. In addition to being able to wear a catcher's mask, it is expected to expand the use of the entry by allowing the defense of the first base and the outfield depending on the situation.

Coach Jang Won-jin said, "Hall can play various positions, which will help the team form and help improve the team's batting power."

Alex Hall said through the club: "I'm so happy to sign for Ulsan Wales. I want to show good performance by using my capabilities in the new team, and I'm looking forward to joining Ulsan," he said.

Meanwhile, Alex Hall is likely to appear at the WBC in March. The Ulsan club said, "Hall is likely to play in the final match of the first round of the WBC on March 9th against South Korea. We will join Ulsan Wales after the end of the WBC," he said.
