Although baseball could be returning stateside relatively soon, Korean baseball is still the only live professional baseball happening around the world. Three former Mets were in action last night. Let’s catch up with them and see how they have been doing in the KBO.

Chris Flexen – Doosan Bears

Righty Chris Flexen made his fourth start for the Doosan Bears last night. He tossed a quality start over the SK Wyverns but struggled a bit. In six innings, Flexen walked four and allowed three runs on four hits while striking out four. This comes after Flexen looked dominant in his last outing against the league-leading NC Dinos, in which he struck out 10 over eight one-run frames. After winning his first two starts, Flexen was given the deGrom treatment in that outing, getting a no-decision. He’s still 2-0 overall with a 3.12 ERA.

Aaron Altherr – NC Dinos

The former Mets outfielder has had a rough transition to the KBO through the season’s first few weeks, but things could be looking up. Coming into last night’s game, Altherr’s average sat at just .218 with a middling OPS of .725. But Altherr broke out with two hits and a walk against the Kiwoom Heroes, including a punctuating three-run home run in the eighth inning, his fourth homer of the season, to put the game out of reach. It was just Altherr’s fourth multi-hit game of the season and raised his average up to .241.

Drew Gagnon – Kia Tigers

Right-hander Drew Gagnon did not allow a run for the second consecutive outing, taking a win over the KT Wiz. He allowed just three hits over seven shutout frames with eight punchouts and no walks after tossing six shutout innings against the Lotte Giants last week. Gagnon appears to have settled in after allowing four runs in each of his first two starts. His ERA for the season is down to 2.70.
