Peddy played one year at NC last year and Lively played three seasons at Samsung before returning to the U.S.

Jared Young, who made a strong impression by hitting 10 homers in 38 games for Doosan, failed to renew his contract with Doosan, but recently signed a major league contract with the New York Mets.

The player who is aiming for a bigger hit is Kyle Hart, a pitcher who played in NC.
