International Free Agent Profile: OF Sung-bum Na

As was expected, the NC Dinos have agreed to have agreed to outfielder Sung-bum Na’s request and will be posting him for Major League teams to bid on. A middle-of-the-order power threat since making his professional debut in 2013, the left-hander is a career .317/.384/.542 hitter and has slugged 179 homers over the course of his eight-year career.

Sung-bum Na was born on October 03, 1989 in Gwangju, the third-largest city in South Korea. Growing up, he rooted for his hometown team, the Haitai Tigers (now the KIA Tigers), but baseball was little more than a fun game to play and watch, as he aspired to become a scientist.
