The New York Yankees are eyeing left-handed Korean outfielder Jung Hoo Lee, according to New York Post Sports. The 25-year-old has amassed an impressive .340 batting average along with 65 home runs, 69 stolen bases, and an .898 OPS over seven seasons in the KBO. Despite a limited 86-game performance in 2023 due to an ankle injury, Lee maintained a solid slash line of .318/.406/.455 with six home runs, 45 RBIs, and six stolen bases.
While the transition from other leagues to MLB can be uncertain, Lee's potent left-handed power, combined with the hitter-friendly dimensions of Yankee Stadium, presents an intriguing fantasy prospect for the Yankees and fantasy baseball enthusiasts alike.
