Yoon Dong-hee scored a home run against Hanwha starter Moon Dong-ju in his first showdown of the season against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park on the 2nd.
It is the first home run of this season by Lotte player except for Na Seung-yeop (2), who is Yoon Dong-hee's most powerful catcher.
Lotte scored the first run with Reyes' infield ground ball in the top of the first inning with one out and runners on the second and third bases with Son Ho-young's hit and Na Seung-yeop's double.
Yoon Dong-hee appeared as the leadoff hitter in the top of the second inning with a 1-0 lead. At the ball count of 3B1S, Moon Dong-ju's 150km fastball hit a single and crossed the right fence.
The wall on the right side of Hanwha Life Ball Park is a whopping 8m high 'monster wall' made of media glass with a view of the interior of the building. A huge wall reminiscent of the Boston Red Sox home ground 'Green Monster'
However, among Lotte's young batters, Yoon Dong-hee is particularly strong in fastballs and is especially good at 'ball reporting and hitting'. He properly pushed a fastball into the outside rather high zone and sent it over the fence. The distance was 115 meters.

KIA Tigers Wisdom is the main character of the opening of the new stadium. On the 28th of last month, he recorded against Ponce, Hanwha's first starter, in Daejeon. Wisdom hit three of the five home runs in the Hanwha-KIA series.
However, Yoon Dong-hee is the first home run to surpass 'Monster Wall'. Yoon Dong-hee turned the ground as quickly as usual, but Lotte, where Yoon Dong-hee's home run became a catalyst, added three more runs in the second inning to take a 4-0 lead.
