If Jung Hoo Lee were to ink a deal with a MLB club, of course these numbers would not carry over, however the 25 year old is already an established superstar in the KBO. No not just your everyday player, but a superstar.

With seven seasons under his belt, JHLee has a slash line of .340/.407/.491/.898 with just 65 home runs but does have 244 doubles and 43 triples.

Last year, unfortunately JHLee had his season cut short due to an ankle injury which would require surgery, but is expected to be at full strength once spring comes around.

Not only does JHLee have 5 Gold Gloves, but the left handed batsman is also a former Rookie of the Year award recipient, as well as MVP. MLBTR has Lee signing a five year deal worth $50M, quite a conservative figure.

While those numbers aren’t etched in stone, with good on-field play and a decent agent, they could potentially triple in his second go-around in Free Agency.

But as of right now, it’s said that the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, as well as the New York Yankees are interested in the outfielder.

It’s also being reported that Michael A. Taylor’s name has come up in discussions in Flushing. Quite the drop off in production from the previous named player.
