FINALLY…a Giants player I can get behind. I mean, the KBO is known for its bat flips and LOOK AT THIS ONE LIKE OH MY GOD!
I mean those jerseys too. They’re amazing. And the blue ones that the guy at 20 seconds in is wearing? I’m ready to spend all my money to get those shipped overseas.
Jun-woo is in his 13th KBO season and is actually under-performing as far as wRC+ goes. But he’s got time to turn it around. And he’s more like our bearded wonder than you know as he used to hit leadoff in seasons past. AND he’s a DH. Too on the nose? I know.
