Dietrich Enns To Sign With KBOs LG Twin
Former big league left-hander is finalizing a deal with the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization, per . The terms of the contract are not yet known. Enns, 32, was selected by the Yankees in the 19th-
Nassir Little Jersey round of the draft back in 2012. Enns was swapped to the Twins in 2017 and made his major league debut that same year, though he struggled to a 6.75 ERA in just four innings of work. The lefty spent the next several seasons in the minor leagues, bouncing between the Twins, Padres, and Rays organizations before returning to the big leagues in 2021 with Tampa Bay. Enns found more succe s with the Rays that season, pitching well in multi-inning relief. In 22 1/3 innings of work acro s nine appearances, Enns posted a 2.82 ERA with an even stronger 2.32 FIP, striking out 28.4% of batters faced while walking just 6.8%. Despite that strong performance in 2021, Enns was unable to secure a big league role for the 2022 season and instead departed for a role overseas, joining the Seibu Lions of Japans NPB. Enns pitched very well for the Lions in his first NPB season, with a 2.94 ERA in 122 1/3 innings of work acro s 22 starts. Unfortunately, that succe s did not carry over to 2023 as the lefty struggled to a 5.17 ERA in just 54 innings of work. Still, Ennss succe s in both the majors in 2021 and NPB in 2022 make him an interesting addition to the Twins, who indicates hope that Enns can replace five-year MLB veteran on the clubs pitching staff for the 2024 campaign. Plutko, for his part, is this offseason after posting a 2.49 ERA acro s 49 starts in Korea the past two seasons.
