Baseball America Features Rangers' Yoon-He Nam

Baseball America had an interesting piece in their Prospect Blog today on Korean pitcher, Yoon-He Nam. Signed by the Rangers in 2006, Nam is dazzling hitters for the Hickory Crawdads in the South Atlantic League (Low-A). The 21-year-old, working primarily out of the bullpen (19 G, 4 GS), has a 1.73 ERA while racking up 57 SO against 17 BB in 52 innings pitched. Per Nam's pitching coach, "He throws four pitches—fastball, curveball, slider, changeup. He commands them all. He disrupts timing." Certainly looks like a player to tabs on.
