Nationals re-sign Chien-Ming Wang
The Washington Nationals tonight signed free-agent right-handed pitcher
Chien-Ming Wang to a one-year Major League contract.
Nationals Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations and General Manager
Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Wang, 30, returns for a second season with the Nationals organization.He did
not pitch in 2010 while working with the Nationals' training staff on a rehab
program designed to regain full health from July 2009 right shoulder surgery.
Wang is 55-26 with a 4.16 ERA in 109 career games/104 starts spanning five
seasons with the Yankees. An extreme ground-ball pitcher, Wang's career ground
ball-to-fly ball ratio of 2.73/1 ranks third among active pitchers with
100-plus starts, trailing only Brandon Webb (3.63/1) and Derek Lowe(3.09/1).
His.679 career winning percentage ranks second among active pitchers with 100
or more starts.
Perhaps best known for posting consecutive 19-win seasons for the Yankees in
2006 and '07, Wang's consistency afforded him the honor of starting the
Yankees' first post-season contest in 2007 vs. Cleveland. During the same
two-year span, Wang led MLB with 38 wins and a .745 winning percentage while
pacing the American League with 864 ground balls induced and a 2.9/1 ground
ball-to-fly ball ratio.
Wang originally signed with the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent on May
5, 2000.
