Joo-Hwan is in his 12th season in the KBO, all with the Doosan Bears. The second baseman is enjoying his second highest career wRC+ and is currently tied with Kim Jae-Hwan for the most HRs on the Bears (eight). This lefty crushes the ball. And any time you can put up a stat line similar to Tulo’s (when he was a Rockie, mind you) then you’re doing something right.
