At one point, I heard the second Lee Jung-hoo, but what happened to 9G consecutive hitless silence?

"I think there will be an impact on my ankle."

Kiwoom Heroes' Lee Joo-hyung won the title of 2 Lee Jung-hoo. During the 2023 season, he was traded from the LG Twins to Kiwoom and played a sensational role as a leadoff. Attention was focused on how much more he could grow by resembling Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco) in his playing style and position.

But there were ups and downs last season. He injured his hamstring ahead of the season when he was expected to be a full-time starter for the first time. It was twisted from there. He came back from injury but lost his strong form of the 2023 season, moaning from other minor injuries. He finished the season with a batting average of 266, 13 homers and 60 RBIs. I can't say I was very bad, but I wasn't as good as I expected.




It's more this season. Until April, he had to go to the second division without injury due to a huge slump. He returned before the game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 9th, but from then on until the game against the Samsung Lions on the 21st, he has a batting average of 111, two home runs and two RBIs in 10 games. If it wasn't for the multi-homer game against Hanwha on the 9th, the report card would have been truly disastrous. Since the game against Hanwha, there has been no single hit in nine games.

Coach Hong Won-ki, who met ahead of the Samsung match to be held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 22nd, said of Lee Ju-hyung's poor performance, `Personally, the injury in Jamsil is on the line.' What do you mean.

Lee Ju-hyung was replaced after injuring his right ankle when he twisted his foot while running base against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 13th. Analysts say he returned after a day off on the 14th, and since then, his batting balance has completely broken. Hong said, `It's not a big injury. However, it can have a big impact on players. Lee Ju-hyung is not the type to say that he is sick. However, if there is any inconvenience in swing, it is obvious. I think carefully that the balance has been shaken since that day."

If the player doesn't talk, the coaching staff can look at the condition and take it out. However, Kiwoom is in a state of emergency. In fact, the foreign hitter Puig was also excluded in the situation where the hit was weak. Unless it's a major injury, it's hard to get out of Lee Ju-hyung, who has basic skills. Manager Hong said, `So he reduces the burden of defense and sends him out as the designated hitter today as well. In my opinion, I want to lead to a major injury or give the player a break before he or she is more tired and come up in full physical condition. However, due to the team's situation, I think we should play games and recover from injuries" expressed his thoughts.

Coach Hong showed the possibility of growing bigger, but he helped Lee Ju-hyung to focus more comfortably on baseball, which seems to be hampered by minor injuries, but he seems to have a disease in his mind. No matter how much people talk about it, it is difficult to produce proper performance if you play baseball as if you are being chased by yourself. In the future, Lee Joo-hyung's growth process needs to be overcome, he stressed.
