Pitching in front of sparse crowds in Australia, the United States, Japan, and the Czech Republic for years, new LG Twins pitcher Jon Kennedy is thrilled to have the opportunity to play before thousands of fans in South Korea. Kennedy expressed his excitement about joining the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) during a game against the KT Wiz at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Wednesday.
Kennedy, who signed with the Seoul-based club on Saturday, stated that the lack of publicity and small crowds in his previous playing experiences in Australia were reasons to be excited about the new environment. The 31-year-old started his professional baseball career in the Australian Baseball League (ABL) in 2012 and has spent 13 seasons in Down Under.
Kennedy also had stints in various levels of the American minor leagues over four seasons, reaching Triple-A.
