Alex and Maia Shibutani are back in the United States after winning two bronze medals. After getting some laundry done, they took the time to talk to For the Win.

(Yonhap) No other rookie made the kind of impact that Kang Baek-ho of the KT Wiz did. A former two-way star in high school, the outfielder homered in his very first at-bat on Opening Day and was making KBO pitchers look like his high school opponents for a stretch. Kang launched four homers and knocked in 10 runs in his fi
