"The stock price is rising to the sky and going all the way to space. The batting coach is good..." NC Dinos coach Lee Ho-joon praised Samsung Lions batting coach Lee Jin-young.
Manager Lee expected a slugfest, but Samsung's batting lineup was more terrifying than expected.
In the game between NC and Samsung held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 25th, Samsung hit four home runs and won 14:5.
Before the game, Samsung's hitting coach Lee Jin-young visited NC manager Lee Ho-joon to greet him. "Our team's batting is also coming up, so I expect a hard-hitting battle today," said Lee, who praised Lee, who leads the Samsung lineup for hitting 34 hits, including six homers, in the opening two consecutive games.

On this day, NC started Choi Sung-young. Choi Sung-young was the third starter at a time when veterans Lee Yong-chan and Lee Jae-hak were injured before the season and it was difficult to join the first team for the time being. Choi Sung-young had a 5.79 ERA with two wins, one save and one hold in 24 games last year.

Choi Won-tae wore a Samsung uniform for up to 7 billion won for four years as a free agent, but he showed sluggish performance in six ⅔ innings with five hits (one home run), three walks and four runs with an ERA of 5.40. He was also shaken by nine runs in two ⅔ innings in a Futures League game on the 19th.
Manager Lee Ho-joon is confident that the NC lineup, which hit 14 home runs in seven games in Lapak last year, can sufficiently target Choi Won-tae.

Lee's expectations did not exceed the second inning. NC led by scoring two runs in the top of the first inning, but Lee Jae-hyun's three-run home run in the second inning, Koo Ja-wook's three-run home run in the fourth inning, and Kim Young-woo's grand slam in the sixth inning blew 'FengFengFeng'. In the eighth inning, Park Byung-ho hit a huge solo shot with a distance of 145 meters to mark the end of the home run show.

Lee Jin-young, who has been Samsung's batting coach since last season, immediately raised the number of team home runs from 88 (No. 8) to 185 (No. 1). The team's offense, which relied only on home runs, has been upgraded this year. In the first three games, he hit as many as 45 hits (including 10 homers) and scored 38 points.

Coach Lee's guiding philosophy, which made him focus on pitcher analysis and self-swing rather than changing batters' batting form, is shining. Lee has also been appointed as a batting coach for the national baseball team, which will participate in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) next year.
