Giants Lotte Daeho Lee. random news
Lotte Giants veteran Dae-ho Lee showed incredible potential by reaching the 100 RBI mark in his KBO League retirement season. This is a record that even ‘national hitter’ Seung-yeop Lee could not achieve (87 RBI in the retirement season).
But Lee Dae-ho couldn’t laugh. This is because he did not achieve his goal of playing fall baseball in his final season of professional baseball.
Lotte lost 3-9 to the Doosan Bears in the 2022 season KBO League at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the afternoon of the 3rd, and was frustrated in advancing to the postseason regardless of the remaining game results.
Lotte, who have a record of 63 wins, 4 draws, and 75 losses in the season, win all 2 remaining games, and the 5th place KIA Tigers lose all 5 of their games remaining, but the positions do not reverse.
As a result, Lotte failed to advance to the postseason for the fifth consecutive season.
Lee Dae-ho, who announced his retirement before the start, showed his last fighting spirit for the Lotte fall baseball challenge. The 40-year-old veteran hit 100 RBI by hitting his 23rd two-run homer of the day. Dae-ho Lee, who hasn’t lost his focus in every at-bat, is batting .335 in his retirement season.
However, Lee Dae-ho was ultimately unable to step onto the baseball stage last fall. Moreover, his long-time wish to play on the stage of the Korean series could not be realized.
Among the past 10 seasons, 2017 was the only time Lotte entered the fall baseball season. It was also Lee Dae-ho’s last postseason leg.
Now, Dae-ho Lee is preparing to say goodbye to his baseball fan. Dae-ho Lee, who will play his last away game against the NC Dinos in Changwon on the 5th, will return to Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th and leave for the final game against the LG Twins at the end of the season .
