Professional baseball player Lee Jung-hoo of Kiwoom is having an all-time high.
From hitting and slugging power, to a pioneering eye and flawless defense.
Especially against KIA, it’s really scary.

◀ Report ▶
A three-point home run that knocked down KIA ace Eui-ri Lee.

“I said, ‘Let’s focus on the situation,’ but I think I was lucky enough to hit a home run.”
If you only meet KIA, your luck doubles in destructive power.
Five home runs against KIA this season alone.
Home runs, solo, two-run, three-run, all-base homer.
It exploded regardless of the important game point.
He hit 8 home runs this month alone, 4 of which came from the KIA match, and the KIA home run led to a 100% win.

“It feels good to have all the home runs I hit this year come out at the decisive moment.”
Thanks to that, he also ranked second in the league with 14 home runs.
Half of the league schedule was played, but he came close to the season’s personal most home runs by one car.
The myth that home run hitters strike out a lot doesn’t work for Lee Jung-hoo.
He has about the same number of home runs and strikeouts this season.
The number of strikeouts per plate is 0.04, which is clearly different from other home run competitors.
Here, we are facing a comic book-like season with ‘home run delivery’ delivered directly to fans, hitting techniques close to stunts, and even ‘notice home runs’.
[이정후/키움]
“I just told my co-workers, ‘It’s the same whether you hit 4 at-bats or 5 at-bats, so I’ll hit a home run and come’…”
A perfect player with no error in his more powerful attack power.
We also do not forget the unique fun and fan service.

“I have a hair that I want to grow, so I’m growing it. It’s too hot, so I’m putting up with it.”
(Can you tell me what it is?)
“I’m going to do reggae hair.”
Now there is only one thing left.
[이정후/키움]
“Actually, there are no numerical records. I really want to try to win the team.”
