The Baltimore Orioles apologized for breaking protocol in signing South Korean high school pitcher Kim Seong-min to a minor-league contract, after their scouts were banned from attending games in the Asian nation.

Last month, the Orioles signed the 17-year-old as a free agent in a deal worth $550,000, the Baltimore Sun reported.
