Lee Jung-hoo

Born in Nagoya because his father was playing ball in Japan, then raised inside Korean baseball royalty. They call him the Grandson of the Wind, which tells you the shadow he stood in. Most sons of legends buckle. He took Rookie of the Year in 2017, MVP in 2022, then traded the KBO for San Francisco rather than settle. That swing looks effortless.
