Cardinals signed Korean OF Won-Bin Cho.
Cho, a South Korean high school baseball prospect, withdrew from the Korea Baseball Organization draft last August to pursue an opportunity with a major-league organization. The lefty-hitting slugger drew plenty of interest after winning a homer derby for underclass players at the National Power Showcase in Texas two offseason ago. He doesn't turn 19 years old until August and immediately becomes one of the most interesting prospects in the Cardinals' organization.

He's not a burner with that 60 time just under 7.00.
On that video he hits a ball at 15:40 about as well as a human can hit a baseball. Beautiful swing.

This guy actually sounds really promising.

Ahhh…just saw it in passing. Hadn’t actually seen a scouting report.

Is it actually uncommon for MLB orgs to sign amateur Asian players or is this just a matter of the Cardinals being behind the times (until now)?
