(Export News Incheon Airport, Reporter Han-Jun Kim) Hanwha Eagles’ new foreign batter Mike Tuckman arrived through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 20th.
A left-handed outfielder, Turkman is evaluated as a player with the accuracy and power to expect a batting average of 30% and 20 home runs. As a professional outfielder, he has the ability to attack, defend, and run, so Hanwha is expected to contribute greatly to the team’s strength this season.
Turkman’s major league record is a batting average of 0.231, 17 homers, 78 RBIs, 93 runs, and an on-base percentage of 0.326, and a slugging percentage of 0.378 over his five seasons (257 games). In the 2021 season, he appeared in 75 big league games for the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants. In the minor leagues, he had a career batting average of 0.301, 49 homers, 336 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.374 for eight seasons, and a slugging percentage of 0.452.
