The Astros have struck a deal to pick up righty Chase De Jong, per Mark Berman of FOX 26 (Twitter link). He had been working with the indy league Sugarland Skeeters.
It’s not immediately clear whether De Jong will join the Astros’ active roster or instead head to the team’s alternative training site. Regardless, he’ll first have to pass a physical and covid screening.
De Jong, 26, is a former second-round pick who has appeared in each of the past three MLB seasons. He hasn’t found much success at the game’s highest level, allowing 31 earned runs with a 26:22 K/BB ratio in 47 total frames. He also ran into the Triple-A home run buzzsaw last year, but did carry a 3.66 ERA in 160 frames at the highest level of the minors in the 2018 campaign.
All the signs were there. They just stole him.
I see what you did there lol
+1
lame
i feel like he still has a chance to succeed with a bit of patience
No offense, but I think you think that about everyone lol
im generally optimistic about the outlook of most players
Me to…. though I rarely give RAVE REVIEWS!
Is he half American half Korean?
So if someone is half Caucasian (aka white), that’s the same as being half American? I suppose he is Korean-American.
wahooo go chase!!! LB WILSON!!!
Related to Paul?
I remember learning of his existence when he gave up a walk off homerun to George Springer (I think) in a extra innings game during the early weeks of the 2017 season. Aside from that, I find his last name pretty interesting.
That’s all this “expert” has got on him. Feel free to move along or whatnot.
