The Milwaukee Brewers have just made an international free agency signing by giving Chang Tzu-Chun Lin a minor league contract, according to ETtoday’s Chen Lixun.

Lin is a 19-year-old right-handed pitcher who was expected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming Chinese Professional Baseball League Mid-Season Rookie Draft on June 30, but he has chosen not to register. Instead, he signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers with a $250,000 signing bonus. The Brewers have assigned him to the Dominican Summer League Brewers. Lin will now try to make his way from rookie ball up through the Brewers system.

The 19-year-old has touched 94 mph with his fastball. He graduated from Hsinchu City Chengde High School last year and was studying at Kainan University.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners also reportedly made an offer to Lin, but he ended up signing with the Brewers. The Brewers have developed a reputation for developing pitching and will now get to work with Lin
