Samsung Lions captain Koo Ja-wook (32) said the above in an interview with a veteran after winning the home game (14-5) of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 25th.카지노

Koo Ja-wook himself showed good performance on the day. He had two hits, four RBIs and two runs from two times at bat on the day. After scoring a chasing score with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first inning, he hit a running three-run homer in the fourth inning when his team was leading 5-2, and achieved 1,500 hits in his career.

It is a more meaningful day for him, but Koo Ja-wook brought up Lee Jae-hyun's name first before that. He said, "I worked hard all winter and practiced so hard. I prepared so hard during the camp. You must be more proud of yourself because that came out as a result," and added, "He is a player with great talent, and it is so nice to see him always trying to do better."

"I'm in my fourth year as a professional, and I might feel relaxed thinking that I'm the main player. But I'm working hard silently without any of that, and I'm leading the players well like a shortstop," he said. "I told Lee Jae-hyun, 'It doesn't matter if you pretend to be the captain in the infield,'" Koo said. "A shortstop is the flower of defense. You have to follow (Kang) Min-ho or (Park) Byung-ho when asked by shortstop."

Lee Jae-hyun played as the second batter and shortstop, and recorded one hit, three RBIs and one run from two times at bat on the day. He got on base with a walk in the bottom of the first inning, and after his team tied the game 2-2 in the second inning, he hit a three-run home run that went over the right fence by pushing NC starter Choi Sung-young's eighth fastball. Samsung scored a 5-2 lead.

Lee Jae-hyun, who was struck out in the fourth inning, was replaced by Yang Yang Yang-geun in defense at the top of the fifth inning. "Lee Jae-hyun was replaced as a manager due to mild symptoms around his back neck during the first inning of running base," the Samsung club said. If he has a tightness, there will be no choice but to limit his movement, but he hit a home run even in such a situation.

Lee Jae-hyun, who has shown growth every year since joining the team in 2022, played in 109 games last year with a batting average of 0.260 (101 hits in 389 times at bat), 14 homers, 66 RBIs, 71 runs and two steals, and posted an on-base percentage of 0.365 slugging percentage of 0.419 and an OPS of 0.784. Although his absence was prolonged due to injury, he set a career high record in home runs. As a result, he was proudly selected as the first fan vote in the shortstop category (1178,109 votes) and the second place in the team vote (71 votes) in the best 12 votes in the All-Star Game.

Despite this, Lee was not satisfied. He went to CSP (Cressy Sports Performance), a baseball program facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, for a three-week course late last year. "We hope to be equipped with an optimized swing mechanism," Samsung said of Lee.

Lee Jae-hyun, who even studied abroad for a short period of time, has recorded three hits in seven times at bat (batting average of 0.429), one homer, four RBIs, and five walks in the first three games of this season. He has also shown good performance in perseverance by recording many walks.
