Cardinals signed Korean OF Won-Bin Cho.
Cho, a South Korean high school baseball prospect, withdrew from the Korea Baseball Organization draft last August to pursue an opportunity with a major-league organization. The lefty-hitting slugger drew plenty of interest after winning a homer derby for underclass players at the National Power Showcase in Texas two offseason ago. He doesn’t turn 19 years old until August and immediately becomes one of the most interesting prospects in the Cardinals’ organization.
