First Group of Foreigners in the KBO 1998

This post is a list of the first group of foreign players to play in the KBO in 1998, including their stats. I am aware of other earlier cases, and will be posting about them later. I am posting some information in both Korean and English as I haven't been able to find a bilingual list in other places.  One note about the draft, the Ssangbangwool Raiders did not participate in the draft, nor did they sign any foreign players this year due to financial difficulties.
