There are reasons galore to visit baseball stadiums this season, but seeing star players’ perform in person is definitely one of them.
With their credentials earned overseas, Kim Tae-kyun, Lee Seung-yeop, and Park Chan-ho stand out more than others.
Since their return home following careers abroad last month, fans have flocked to the stadiums with high expectations. So far, the results have been better than anticipated.
Slugger Kim Tae-kyun, who has come back to the domestic league after a stint in Japan after signing the most lucrative one-year contract in KBO history with the Hanwha Eagles, is proving he is worth the money. As of Tuesday, he was first in the league for hits and batting average with 29 and .46 respectively. In Sunday’s game with the Nexen Heroes he had 2 hits and 1 home run with .667 batting average, leading his team to victory.
