- Hanwha Eagles pitcher Zimmerman has allowed 25 runs in 12 innings, prompting speculation that the club could move him from the starting rotation to the bullpen.
- Hanwha replaced Wilkel Hernández after he posted a 4.92 earned-run average over 16 games last month, signing Zimmerman to a contract worth up to $440,000.
Zimmerman’s difficult start with the Hanwha Eagles has raised the possibility of a move to the bullpen. The foreign pitcher has surrendered 25 runs in 12 innings, leading OSEN to suggest Hanwha’s latest gamble may already have failed.
Hanwha parted ways with Wilkel Hernández after he recorded a 4.92 earned-run average over 16 games last month. The club then signed Zimmerman in an effort to bring greater stability to its starting rotation.
His contract includes a $70,000 signing bonus, a $300,000 salary and up to $70,000 in incentives, for a maximum value of $440,000. The article questions whether he can recover in a relief role.
