Robert Stock Signs With KBO’s Doosan Bears

By TC Zencka | January 4, 2022 at 7:21pm CDT

Free-agent Robert Stock will sign with the Doosan Bears of the KBO for $500K in guaranteed money over one year. He can earn an additional $200K in incentives, per Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News (via Twitter).

News first broke of Stock’s potential signing on New Year’s Day. As noted in this initial write-up from MLBTR’s Darragh McDonald, Stock posted solid numbers in Triple-A with the Cubs and Mets last season, though he was slowed by injuries.

In his fourth consecutive season seeing time in the bigs, Stock made three starts in the Majors, one for the Cubs, and a pair with the Mets. In Triple-A, however, he managed to post a very good strikeout rate of 26.2% and an acceptable walk rate of 8.1%, as well as an overall 3.57 ERA over 35 1/3 innings.

Stock has mostly been a reliever throughout his career. His three starts this season were his first in 55 games of big-league experience. Even in the minors, he has just 13 career starts. The 32-year-old seems likeliest to pitch out of the bullpen for the Bears, though he wouldn’t be the first player to re-invent himself upon arrival in the KBO. That said, the Bears reportedly like Stock’s big arm, with a fastball that averaged more than 96 mph and the ability to hit triple digits.

        You guys are selling him short. I bet he put a call to his mother immediately after signing this deal.

    We need a College Football version of Trade Rumors, especially the way that the transfer portal has ramped up in the last year.

    I wonder how KBO hitters are going to adjust to fastballs averaging 96 and can hit 100. The last time anyone even averaged 94 in the KBO as a starter was former Doosan Bears 20 game winner Raul Alcantara in 2020.

      William Cuevas, Casey Kelly, and many other AAAA pitchers who would toil in AAA here are stars in Japan and Korea.

      Stock receiving $500,000 is great! That 8 to 10 times the average household income in the USA depending in the state you live in.

    I thought his stuff looked great when he started for the Mets – regardless of the results. Bet he’ll do well over there.
