The 2025 KBO League has started and is playing about a quarter. It's still early days, but it's getting to the middle.

Who is the No. 1 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) at this time. Surprisingly, it is Park Dong-won of the LG Twins.

As of the 4th, Park Dong-won is ranked first overall with an OPS of 1.010 with a slugging percentage of 0.594 and an on-base percentage of 0.416. He is ranked fourth in slugging percentage and fifth in on-base percentage, but he is ranked first in OPS.




Park Dong-won is a catcher with long hitting power, but his on-base percentage was not very high because his batting average was not high. He has never hit a batting average in the 300s and an on-base percentage in the 400s. The highest on-base percentage ever was 0.367 in 2019 when Kiwoom was in the game. Even after coming to LG, it was only 0.334 in 2023 and 0.349 last year. On top of that, the slugging rate was not very high because the batting average was low. He hit 20 home runs for two consecutive years in 2023 and last year, with a slugging percentage of 0.443 in 2023 and 0.461 last year. The OPS in 2023 was 0.777 and last year was 0.810.

However, he has a batting average of 321 (34 hits in 106 at-bats) this season. On top of that, the on-base percentage increased as he also got 17 walks. He has already hit eight home runs and five doubles, and his slugging percentage is also very high. It is usually placed in six to seven batting order within the team, and it can be said to be a scary lower hitter.

If such a good performance can be maintained until the second half of the season, Park Dong-won may finally be able to take away the catcher Golden Glove, which has been divided by Yang Eui-ji (No. 8) of the Doosan Bears and Kang Min-ho (No. 6) of the Samsung Lions for 14 years.

LG's Austin Dean is in second place. He is third with a slugging percentage of 0598 and has an on-base percentage of 0.401, so his OPS is 0.999.

Third place is new foreign hitter Patrick Wisdom of the KIA Tigers. His slugging percentage came in second with 0.602, but his on-base percentage dropped to 0.384, recording an OPS of 0.984. Ranked fourth is Lewin Diaz (Samsung), who ranks first in home runs. As he ranks first with 12 home runs, his slugging percentage reaches a whopping 0.630. However, as the on-base percentage was low at 0.347, the OPS ranked fourth with 0.977.

Kim Sung-yoon of Samsung is in fifth place, not a long hitter. He ranks second with an on-base percentage of 0.430, and is also 11th overall with a slugging percentage of 0.515. He ranked fifth in the OPS with a batting average of 356 and hit 10 long balls with six doubles, two triples and two homers.




It is followed by LG Moon Bo-kyung (0.928), Lotte Na Seung-yeop (0.925), NC Kim Hyung-joon (0.909), Hanwha Noh Si-hwan (0.901), and NC Son Ah-seop (0.887).
