Chan Ho Park (Korean: 박찬호; Hanja: 朴贊浩; Korean pronunciation:[pɐk̚.tɕʰɐn.ɦo]; born June 30, 1973)[1] is a South Korean former professional baseball pitcher. Park was the first South Korea-born player in MLB history, and the first South Korean player to be named an MLB All-Star.[2] He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, and Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball (MLB), the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), and the Hanwha Eagles of the KBO League. As of 2023, he has the most career wins of any Asia-born pitcher in history (124), having passed Hideo Nomo for that distinction in 2010.[3][4] During his playing days, Park stood 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm) tall, weighing 210 pounds (95 kg).[1]
