MLB teams are limited in how much they can spend on international amateur picks, so this level of investment underscores the organization\u2019s belief in Park\u2019s upside.<\/p>\n<p>Standing 191 cm (6 ft 3 in), Park appeared in 12 high-school games this season, going 6-0 with a 1.37 ERA. He features a fastball that peaks in the 150 km\/h range (about 93 mph) and mixes in a slider, curve and splitter. Scouts have praised his physicality and projectability.<\/p>\n<p>Park is the first high-school graduate in this year\u2019s class to sign with a U.S. club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Korean pitcher Park Chan-min signs with MLB&#8217;s Philadelphia Phillies for $1.205 million, marking a significant international
