Waddell is the second former member of the Korea Baseball Organizations Doosan Bears to agree to terms with the Mets today. New York added multi-positional bat on an after he clubbed 10 homers in 38 games for the Bears late in the season. Waddell, a 30-year-old southpaw, spent parts of three years with the club between 2022-24. That was a generally succe sful run. Waddell turned in 244 2/3 innings of 2.98 ERA ball in the KBO. That included a 3.12 mark in 75 frames this year. The UVA product fanned 23.8% of opposing hitters against a 3.5% walk rate. His season was unfortunately cut short by a rotator cuff injury in late June. The Mets were evidently intrigued enough by Waddells form to give him a look as non-roster rotation or long relief depth. This will be his first stint in affiliated ball since 2022, which he spent in Triple-A in the St. Louis system. Waddell last pitched in the big leagues in 2021. He divided that season between four teams the Twins, Pirates, Orioles and Cardinals and allowed eight runs acro s 9 1/3 innings. He has 11 career MLB appearances and owns a 5.37 ERA over parts of four years at the Triple-A level. NHL San Jose Sharks Jersey
