I'm looking forward to it because it's NC! Three times in reverse export alone, the choice of a 'foreign master' is to select a major 'five wins'... Will he be a successor to Pedi-Heart

NC Dinos broke up with "Ace" Kyle Hart (32) and recruited a new foreign pitcher to complete the formation of a foreign trio next year.스포츠토토
"I signed Logan Shane Allen (born in 1997 and registered as a 27-year-old foreign pitcher) as a new foreign pitcher for the 2025 season," the NC Dinosaurs officially announced on Wednesday. The contract terms include a down payment of 140,000 U.S. dollars, an annual salary of 560,000 dollars, and an option of 300,000 dollars, totaling 1 million dollars.
Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, Logan is a left-handed pitcher with physical conditions of 191 centimeters and 105 kilograms. His average fastball speed is mid to late 140 kilometers per hour, and he throws a splitter, curve, sweeper, slider and change-up. He has also been praised for his excellent risk management ability by competing with batters through aggressive pitching and high-quality breaking balls.
Allen started his professional career by being drafted by the Boston Red Sox as the 231st overall pick in the eighth round of the Major League Rookie Draft in 2015. Having played for the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Guardians, Baltimore Orioles, and Arizona Diamondbacks, Allen recorded 5 wins, 11 losses and an earned run average of 5.79 in 124 ⅓ innings (15 starts). In the Minor League, he recorded 45 wins, 35 losses and an ERA of 4.50 in 740 ⅔ innings in 191 games (134 starts).
Although he did not perform remarkably on the major league stage like Cole Irvin (28-40 in 593 innings in 134 games in total) and LG Twins Yoni Chirinos (20-17 in 356 ⅓ innings in 75 games), he has gained a lot of experience as a starting pitcher in the minor leagues. Above all, NC, which has a strong sense of picking foreigners, is an outsider who brought him as a replacement for Hearts.
Among KBO league teams, NC is well known for bringing in "quality" foreign players. It has already made three successful cases of reverse exporting. After joining NC last year, Eric Peddy returned to the big leagues by signing a two-year, $15 million contract with the Chicago White Sox after winning Triple Crown (multiple wins, ERA, and most strikeouts) and League MVP.
Previously, he sent back "top" foreign players such as pitcher Drew Luchinski (2019-2022) and batter Eric Thames (2014-2016) to the U.S. In addition, if Hart, whose contract was canceled this time, enters the big league, it will be his fourth reverse export. This is why expectations are high for Logan's performance in the next season, even though it is not a very noticeable performance.
Lim Seon-nam, general manager of the NC Dinos, said, "Rogan is a smart pitch player through high-quality breaking balls. He has a lot of experience on the mound and will lead the team's starting lineup. I look forward to seeing good performance with Riley next season."
Logan said, "I'm happy to be with the NC Dinos. As the team's starting pitcher, I'll try to make the team win a lot. I've heard a lot about the enthusiastic support from baseball fans in Changwon and KBO fans. I'm looking forward to the moment you'll experience it yourself. I'll look forward to meeting with my team members and fans and prepare well for the offseason."
