Choi Won-joon
최원준
A contact hitter who left Gwangju for Suwon and leads the league in batting average. The interesting question is the one wRC+ answers: how much of that average turns into runs when the power is modest.
A 29-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder for the KT Wiz, drafted by KIA in 2016, first round, 3rd overall. This is his 11th season since a 2016 debut, by way of KIA → Sangmu → KIA → NC. This season: .356/.434/.485 in 676 plate appearances, 9 home runs, 28 steals, a 156 wRC+ and 6.04 WAR — 5th of 48 qualified hitters.

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.
