After the expelled O’Grady last played against the Lotte Giants on May 18, a foreign hitter enters the Hanwha batting line in about a month.
Williams entered Korea on the 22nd, completed a medical check in Seoul on the 23rd, and moved to Daejeon. On the 24th, the next day, he joins the first team on an expedition to Changwon.
Coach Choi Won-ho said, “I don’t think there will be any problems adjusting to jet lag next week after entering Korea on the 22nd. I will watch the training for a day or two. I can play in the first team game immediately after playing in the Mexican league.”
On the 18th, Hanwha announced that it had signed a contract with American outfielder Williams for a total of $450,000 (down payment of $150,000, annual salary of $250,000, and incentive of $50,000).
Williams, a lefty pitcher, made his major league debut in 2017 with the Philadelphia Phillies. He has power, such as hitting double-digit home runs (12 home runs -17 home runs) for two consecutive years from 2017 to 2018. He played in 294 career major league games through 2021, posting a batting average of 2.5 1 Lee, 31 home runs, and 110 RBIs.
He hit 3.4, 9 homers and 28 RBIs this season for the Toros de Tijuana in the Mexican League.
Williams is expected to play as a left-right and corner outfielder. Director Choi Won-ho said, “Even if Williams joins, I will appoint Moon Hyun-bin as the center fielder.”
