Doubts surrounding Doosan Bears' 1.6 billion won ($1.2 million) free agent investment in outfielder Jose Suh-haeng are rapidly disappearing as he delivers stellar performances. Suh-haeng is proving to be a bargain, not an overpayment, for the club.

His impact was particularly evident in the Bears' 6-4 victory against the NC Dinos on Sunday. Starting as the number two center fielder, Suh-haeng contributed significantly with three hits in four at-bats, scoring one run, drawing a walk, and stealing a base. This performance was crucial in ending the Bears' two-game losing skid and showcasing his all-around contribution to the team's offense and base running.
