Looking at the big pitcher.

This is three weeks old, but there's a 6'8" 207-pound pitcher named Jang Min-ik at Suncheon's Hyocheon High School who is turning some heads. From the article, written before a high school baseball tourament in late-April:
Jang has been garnering a lot of attention from the pro scouts for his height alone. And although he’s still a little raw, he has the potential to make it big at the next level.

“He’s a player worth taking a chance on,” [SK scout] Huh said. “If developed properly, he can become a top-notch pitcher. Players with such height often lack balance, but Jang is flexible for his size.”
