Kiwoom Lee Joo-hyung
Lee Joo-hyung (23) of the professional baseball Kiwoom Heroes made his debut by hitting a hot home run in his first at-bat after returning from injury.
Lee Joo-hyung hit a solo home run over the right fence in the bottom of the second inning in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League home game against the Doosan Bears held at Gocheok Dome on the 9th.
Lee Joo-hyung, who had been rehabilitating in the second team for nearly a month due to a thigh injury, was named to the starting lineup as the number 4 designated hitter on this day.
Lee Joo-hyung, who came to the plate as the lead batter in the bottom of the second inning when Kiwoom was down 0-2, drew the first pitch from Doosan starter Choi Won-jun and flew it over the right fence.
Joohyung Lee, who joined the LG Twins in 2021, began to stand out when he was traded to Kiwoom in the second half of 2022.
In the 2023 season, he played in 69 games and established himself as a starter, recording a batting average of 0.326, 6 home runs, and 36 RBI.
However, injuries are holding Lee Joo-hyung back.
Joohyung Lee, who suffered a thigh injury during this spring camp, was unable to participate in the exhibition game.
Lee Joo-hyung, who only joined the first team in early April, boasted outstanding batting ability with 14 hits in 29 at-bats and a batting average of 0.483 in 7 games.
However, Lee Ju-hyung, who suffered a thigh injury again after the match against SSG Landers on the 11th of last month, was excluded from the first team and focused on treatment.
With the team’s performance falling to the bottom of the league, Lee Joo-hyung, who returned that day, hit a home run in his first at-bat, raising manager Hong Won-ki’s expectations. 토토사이트
