Shin-Soo Choo To Play In KBO In 2021
4 years agoFree-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is expected to join the SK Wyverns of the Korean Baseball Organization in 2021, according to Tae Woo Kim of SPOTV. The 38-year-old left-handed hitter spent the last seven years with the Texas Rangers, and he hit .236/.323/.400 over 33 games in the shortened 2020 season. Choo was an All-Star in 2018 and has 218 home runs and 157 stolen bases in his 16-year career. He was able to compile three 20-20 seasons with the Cleveland Indians while slashing .292/.383/.469. In his All-Star season, he hit .264 with 21 long balls with Texas. In his last full season in 2019, Choo hit a career-best 24 home runs while stealing 15 bases. He had been working out some at first base this offseason to increase his versatility, but he'll likely play the outfield or serve as a designated hitter in Korea. Fantasy managers can cross Choo off their cheat sheets this year.
