Major League Secretariat Request to Inquire Kim Hye-sung and Kang Baek-ho's Status

The U.S. Major League Baseball and Major League Secretariat has requested an identity check for Kiwoom Kim Hye-sung and KT Kang Baek-ho.

The Korea Baseball Organization and KBO said they received requests from the Major League Secretariat to check the status of Kim Hye-sung and Kang Baek-ho, and notified them that they were affiliated with Kiwoom and KT, respectively.

Korean players seeking to advance overseas will be able to contact them officially only after being asked to check their status from each country.

Kim Hye-sung even signed a contract with an agent belonging to LA Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani in June with the consent of his team Kiwoom early on.
