Is there anything better than a sweet, sweet left-handed swing that can crush bombs? Well then look no further. Yoo-min has found his stride ever since he joined the Tigers, hitting for a wRC+ no less than 117 in the three seasons he’s played for them. Prior to that, he hadn’t broken 100 (albeit in limited time). The 31-year-old first baseman is playing well and it doesn’t hurt that he’s doing in on the KBO’s most successful franchise.
