Kyle Hart hasn't pitched in the big leagues since taking the mound for the Boston Red Sox in 2020, but the free agent lefty revived his career with the NC Dinos in Korea in 2024.
It has been four long years since Kyle Hart last took the mound in an MLB game, but he is aiming to make a triumphant return in 2025.
After posting a 3.13 ERA across his first four seasons in the minors, Hart had a 4.67 ERA between 2021 and 2022. The Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies each gave Hart a shot in 2023, only for the southpaw to go 4-6 with a 4.53 ERA in Triple-A.In 26 starts this past season, Hart went 13-3 with a 2.69 ERA, 1.032 WHIP and 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings. The soon-to-be 32-year-old also managed to break the KBO single-season strikeout record by racking up 182 punchouts.
Hart wouldn't be the first pitcher to fizzle out in America, dominate the KBO, then come back to MLB as a dark horse free agent. Erick Fedde did so last winter, erasing his struggles with the Washington Nationals with a one-year hiatus in Korea. The Chicago White Sox came calling with a two-year, $15 million contract offer, and Fedde pounced on it.
