The Cubs have been very active in signing talent from Tawain and South Korea this year. East Windup Chronicle is reporting the Cubs have signed 3 players from Tawain and 1 from South Korea.
The latest is Wang Tsu-an, a HS pitcher who stands 6-5 or 6-6. He is relatively raw, but reportedly throws in the low 90's. They had already signed Yao-Lin Wang, an 18 year old pitcher. He is only 5-11, but also has been clocked in the low 90's. Joining them from Taiwan is Chen Pin-Chie, a 2-sack. All three have reportedly received bonuses around 300K. From South Korea, the Cubs signed Don-Yeop Kim, a 6-1 HS outfielder, to a reported bonus over half a million dollars.
Back stateside, the Cubs signed their 3rd round pick, Austin Kirk. Kirk is a left-handed pitcher out of high school who was ranked as the 61st best high schooler by Rivalshigh.com.
