Yang was signed to a 2 year deal worth 56 million yen, which also included a 40 million yen signing bonus.
Yang said at his press conference, "I'm glad to play for one of the top teams in Japan. I would like to succeed as a pitcher." Hawks manager Sadahuru Oh said about Yang, "Yang's moves in the field clearly show his natural talents. I see him as a key member of the team from the beginning of next season."

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
