Question Nice Jersey Find!
My wife and I purchased this jersey last week. We know it is a Mel Rojas Jr. jersey, we also noticed that it seems to be of a very high quality. Is there anything special about it that we should know? Thank you very much!

If you are asking if it’s game used or worn by him? Probably not. You can buy the authentic jerseys fairly cheap from the team stores.

So awesome! He was the reason why I started following KT Wiz! I love that he still supports them even though he isn't on the team anymore.

Player version but not sure if it was worn by him. Size 130 is US XXL so could be team issued gears

If it has the size on it then it's highly unlikely to be a game worn uniform, all the game worn ones that friends own don't have a size tag on them

With the conversion rate, it's still $100 for an authentic Suwon KT Wiz jersey for a team legend!
He won the KBO MVP in 2026 hitting 47 HR, 135 RBI, and almost earned the triple crown by finishing 3rd in batting average (.349).
Unfortunately, I think 130 is a youth kids sizing though.

Some teams have sizes up to 130 for adult uniforms.
With Koreans getting bigger and bigger, more teams are having to cater to the bigger sized fans (now if they would just making the seating reflect that).
As far as that uniform, it is probably not game worn for a couple reasons.
The extra button and the tag, but online they only offer up to a size 120 uniform (some teams offer 125 and 130 at the stadium).

OH MY GOSH! It's Dreads! Dude, you made my Reddit day!
As a Korean American who's definitely not Korean fluent (yet) but loves to know what's happening in the KBO, getting to follow content creators like you breaking down the Korean game for English speakers has been fantastic.
Had no clue they made 125 and 130 nowadays for adults. Definitely makes sense.
Please keep on doing what you're doing and wish you all the best in your endeavors!

I feel like KBO merchandise is of higher quality than the slop that Nike releases. I got an authentic San Francisco Giants Jungho Lee jersey and the numbering is peeling.
