Shin-Soo Choo (Hangul: 추신수; Hanja: 秋信守; born July 13, 1982) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Cleveland Indians.

Choo was selected as the Most Valuable Player and Best Pitcher of the 2000 World Junior Baseball Championship held in Edmonton, Canada as South Korea won the event. Choo signed a $1.35M contract with the Mariners after the championship and converted to the outfield. At Busan High School, Choo batted fourth and could throw in the mid-90s as a pitcher. Choo has many nicknames among fans including "The Choo Choo Train," "Coo Coo Ca Choo," "The Birdman" and "Big League Choo."

Choo made his Major League Baseball debut with the Seattle Mariners on April 21, 2005, but spent most of the 2005 season and the first half of the 2006 season in the minor leagues with the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians along with minor leaguer Shawn Nottingham on July 26, 2006, for first baseman Ben Broussard.
