Nothing is going to stop South Korean pitcher Oh Seung-Hwan from chasing his American baseball dream—not even a punishment from Korea’s top pro baseball league in connection with his gambling escapade in Macau.

The embattled former Samsung Lion player has signed with the St. Louis Cardinals for one year with a club option for a second year, Yahoo! Sports reported on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old, who had 357 career saves, ended his 2015 with 41 saves, and the Cardinals are looking at him “as a reliever who’ll get the ball” to Trevor Rosenthal, the team’s own record-setting closer. Oh’s stellar performance in Japan has earned him two nicknames: “Final Boss” and “Stone Buddha.”

Oh said during Tuesday’s press conference that playing in the major leagues has been a dream that came true for him.
