'LG native' Suarez signs minor league contract with Baltimore

LG wins 10 games in 2021…The following year, he was kicked out without even winning one game in Japan

Left-handed pitcher Andrew Suarez, who played for the LG Twins in the 2021 season, signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles.

NBC Sports reported on the 31st, "Baltimore signed a minor league contract with Suarez that included the invitation to spring training."

Suarez is also familiar to Korean fans as he has played in the KBO league while wearing an LG uniform. In 2021, he pitched in 23 games for LG, recording 10 wins, 2 losses and 2.18 ERA.

Taking advantage of his stellar performance at the LG Twins, he signed a contract with the Yakutre Swallows and moved to Japan. However, he packed his bags without even one win after posting an ERA of 6.23 in 21 ⅔ in six games in 2022.

After returning to the U.S., Suarez signed a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was called up to the big league in July and returned to the Major League after three years since 2020, when he was a member of the San Francisco Giants.

However, he appeared in 13 games as a relief and failed to settle down due to a poor ERA of 7.16 without a win or loss. 사설토토

Suarez, who entered the free agent market this winter, signed a minor league contract with Baltimore and is looking for a return to the big league once again.

The media pointed out that Suarez must show a tremendous performance in spring training in order to join the bullpen in the opening game.
