Austin Dean

오스틴

Arrived in Seoul in 2023 and was the middle of the order for LG's first championship in twenty-nine years. Has re-signed every winter since, which for an import in this league is the rarest line on a résumé.

WAR here is Moneyball Labs' own estimate: offence from wRAA, a steals-only baserunning term, the standard positional adjustment, and no fielding component beyond position. It is honest about what it does not measure.
