Lee Jae-hyun showed off his hot bat, going 5-for-14 (3-for-7) with two doubles, three RBIs and two runs scored. After going 0-for-5 on the 26th, Lee went 5-for-3 with a double, two RBIs and one run scored on the 27th and 4-for-2 with a double, one RBI and one run scored on the 28th.
“I haven’t been hitting well lately. Before the 23rd game, 안전놀이터 추천 hitting coach Lee Jin-young told me that I wasn’t moving my center properly, so I focused on that and it helped me a lot.” Lee said.

When asked about his role in the team’s surge, Lee said, “It’s not just because of me. We were on the rise a little bit before I came (to the first team) and the atmosphere was good. It was just good timing,” he humbled himself.
“They’re friends, but there’s a sense of competition that you can’t see,” Park said of fellow 2021 recruits Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Young-woong. “It’s good to help each other when they’re in trouble and to compete in good faith.”
“We don’t just talk about baseball, we joke around a lot and have a lot of general conversations. We talk about the opposing pitcher the most, 메이저 토토사이트 and we also talk about the opponent’s starters for the next day. Hero is a comfortable presence for me,” he said.
