On December 22nd, 2014, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed South Korean infield Jung Ho Kang to a four-year contract. At the time it was not known if Kang’s all-star caliber play in South Korea would translate to Major League Baseball or not. However, as you all know, it has.
In 837 career plate appearances Jung Ho Kang owns a .273/.355/.483/.835 slash line. His career wOBA is .362, wRC+ is 131, his ISO is .210, and he averages a home run once every 20 at bats.
Due to a catastrophic leg injury suffered in September of 2015, that led to time on the disabled list in 2016, Kang has yet to play a full Major League season.
