The professional baseball Hanwha Eagles brought a competitive player who was invited to this year's Major League (ML) spring camp on a six-week contract.

Hanwha recruited Jack Cushing (30), a substitute foreign pitcher following Owen White (27) injury on the 4th. The contract size is $90,000, including a six-week annual salary of $60,000 and an option of $30,000, officially announced.

Cushing, born in 1996, is a right-handed pitcher with excellent physical conditions of 190 centimeters and fastball speed of up to 150 kilometers per hour. Last year, he played in 38 games (six starts) in the batter-friendly Pacific Coast League (PCL) among the minor league Triple-A leagues, ranking first with 11 wins. He was invited to the Major League spring camp this season using his achievements as a weapon.

Earlier this year, Hanwha sent three scouts to its Major League spring camp. He has been working on a list of injuries and succeeded in recruiting Cushing the day after White's injury. He is considered to have stable ball control with 2.7 walks per nine innings in the minor league, including 84 strikeouts and 28 four outs in 79 ⅔ innings last year.

The Hanwha team said, "As Cushing won 11 games last season in the minor league Las Vegas team, known as a batter-friendly stadium, we expect him to play a starting rotation with stable game management."

Cushing will enter the country early on the 5th and immediately join the away squad. After that, it will go through a series of processes such as medical tests and will be able to perform the starting rotation as early as next weekend.

He was even more interested because he dreamed of performing on the Korean stage. Cushing said, "I'm really happy to have the opportunity to join the Hanwha Eagles and meet Korean fans. It has been a long dream of mine to experience the passionate cheering culture and the wonderful aspects of Korea firsthand," he said.

"I will pour everything I have so that my team can win." "I want to play baseball with my teammates and fans in the stadium as soon as possible," he said.
