Leading hitter Lewin Diaz got on base with an infield single in the second inning when the score was 0-0. And Lee Jae-hyun came out to bat for the first time. Lee Jae-hyun hit Doosan Choi Won-jun’s 139-kilometer fastball to lead to a 120-meter, two-run home run over the left fence.
It was Lee Jae-hyun’s 13th home run of the season and his first home run at Pohang Stadium. Lee Jae-hyun, who had 12 home runs in a season, also broke this record.
The team lost, but Lee Jae-hyun had a good memory in Pohang.
Lee Jae-hyun also hit the final hit against Doosan on the 20th. He added strength to starting pitcher Won Tae-in with a timely hit in the second inning. On the day, Samsung won 3-0.
Lee Jae-hyun, who joined Samsung as the first designated player in 2022 after graduating from Seoul High School, had a batting average of only 0.160, in eight career games in Pohang until last year.
However, this year, he showed a strong performance with three hits in eight at-bats, one home run, three RBIs and a batting average of 0.375 in two games in Pohang.
Samsung coach Park Jin-man said at Pohang Stadium on the 22nd, “I think Lee Jae-hyun should be called the ‘Man of Pohang’ because of his good performance in Pohang.”
Lee Jae-hyun’s performance is all the more welcome because he briefly slowed down with a batting average of 0.218, 15 games in August before coming to Pohang.
Park gave high marks for hitting at every important moment. “I think Pohang is particularly strong, considering that he hit a two-run homerun in the last game as well as the first RBI and the finishing hit in the process of scoring two runs on Sunday (April 21),” he said.
The head coach was pleased, saying, “Lee Jae-hyun should be called the ‘Man of Pohang’ in Samsung in the future.”
Samsung’s game in Pohang on Tuesday was canceled due to heat wave. Samsung, which will return to its home ground in Daegu on Sunday, can produce more satisfactory results if Lee Jae-hyun continues his good memories in Pohang.
