"Actually, he was fast...."

Lee Jae-won (37, Hanwha Eagles) recorded one hit, one RBI and one walk in four at-bats against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 16th.

One hit was intense. Hanwha had a chance to chase with a double by leadoff hitter Esteban Floral in the fourth inning, when the team was losing 1-2. Moon Hyun-bin's walk-through then made it to third base with one out, and Noh Si-hwan's two-run home run hit to turn the tables.




The atmosphere continued. After Kim Tae-yeon's strikeout, Chae Eun-sung's hit and Lee Jin-young's double added a run. Lee Jae-won, who took the batter's box, hit SSG starter Kim Kwang-hyun's fastball in the middle in 1S, and the ball extended to the right of center field.

The center fielder Jihoon Choi stretched out his arm with all his might. The ball came out after getting caught on the tip of Jihoon Choi's glove. The Jihoon Choi collided with the fence, and right fielder Han Yu-sum, who eventually came in as a backup, caught the ball and threw it into the infield.

Lee Jae-won continued 'Storm Run' He went around second base and went to third base without hesitation, and became a safe.

There was a joy of hitting a timely triple, but there was also a worry about the Jihoon Choi who hesitated after hitting the fence hard. Lee Jae-won said, `I was looking forward to it because it was a good ball, but Ji-hoon (Choi) followed it well. I almost hit the fence and got hurt, which was a relief. I was lucky to have a triple."

Hanwha defeated SSG for the second consecutive day. Hanwha players are sharing the joy of victory after the game.
The most satisfying thing was the team win. On this day, Lee Jae-won worked with Ryan Weiss (two runs in six innings), Park Sang-won, Kim Bum-soo, Kim Jong-soo, Han Seung-hyuk and Cho Dong-wook while playing all nine innings.

Lee Jae-won said, `It was good to have an RBI. When I go out as a catcher, the most important thing is for the team to win. I was under a lot of stress because I lost when I went out recently. Attacks are also attacks, but I wanted to score at least a point in defense. The batters also showed good batting performance, so there was a good result."
