PACE PRO BASEBALL PLAYER

Jun 21, 2020 | 3:51 PM

Former Chicago Cubs All-Star shortstop and Pace High School graduate Addison Russell has signed a one-year, $530,000 contract with the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization. The 26-year-old Russell, was cut from the Cubs’ roster in December after the Major League club declined to offer a new contract. Russell was banned for 40 games at the start of the 2019 season after a series of domestic violence allegations were made by ex-wife. When he returned to the Cubs in May of that year, Russell batted a career-low .237 with nine homers and 23 RBIs. Russell hit 21 home runs and drove in 95 runs during his All-Star season in 2016 when the Cubs won the World Series.
