People keep grouping Kang Jung-ho with Lee Jong-beom, but look at the stats.

Machine translated

‌2015 126 games 467 plate appearances 15 HR WRC+132 WAR 3.7
2016 103 games 370 plate appearances 21 HR WRC+128 WAR 2.9
Over 2 seasons, he posted a WRC+130 and WAR 6.6
And his injuries weren't due to his own negligence, but rather injuries sustained from opponents crashing into him while fielding.
Players like Segura, Lindor, and Correa usually sign long-term contracts of over 10 years while posting WRC+ around 130..
Kang Jung-ho showed that level of performance in the US for nearly 2 seasons.
Even including Japanese players, those records are incredible; no other Asian infielder has posted similar numbers.
As you know, his career effectively ended due to the subsequent DUI controversy..
But you can't simply group him with Lee Jong-beom by saying they both had a WAR of 6 over 4 seasons.
To add to the Korean records,
Including 1st place in WAR in 2012 and 2014, Kang Jung-ho's 5-year record from 2012–2016 is why the term "Chu-Kang-Dae-Yeop" exists, placing him above Dae-yeop.
To put it simply, you all know Yoshida from the Japanese league, who has a WRC+ over 180... he's a Boston player now, right?
Yoshida >>>>>>> Lee Dae-ho, Lee Seung-yuop, and so on... and when comparing Yoshida to Kang Jung-ho..
No one claims Yoshida is better... not even the Japanese people themselves...
