Home Run Against Top Pitching Prospect: 6 Homers in 9 Games Since Promotion

The "Taeguk headband prospect" Cho Won-bin, whom we introduced yesterday, July 3, has hit another home run.

In just his 9th game since being promoted to Double-A, he smashed his 6th home run off one of the top pitching prospects in the minor leagues.

The pitcher Cho faced today, July 4, was Seattle's left-handed prospect Cade Anderson.

Anderson is ranked 5th overall among prospects by Major League Baseball and 1st among pitchers, and he had not allowed a single home run to a left-handed batter all season; however, Cho's hitting form was even hotter.

In the 5th inning, Cho connected with a first-pitch fastball and sent it over the left-field fence for a solo home run.

Cho, who has now hit 6 home runs in 9 games since his promotion to Double-A, also displayed great hustle on defense by crashing into the fence to make a catch, further raising hopes for his path to the big leagues.
