There were two Lee Joo-hyung in the Kiwoom lineup. No. 3 center fielder Lee Joo-hyung and No. 6 designated hitter Lee Joo-hyung.
It was the fifth game in professional baseball history where a player with the same name started.
Lee Ju-hyung, a left-handed, left-handed infielder born in 2002, is a player who wore a Kiwoom uniform as the 39th pick in the second round of 2021 after graduating from Yatapo. He has a confident build of 1m83,105kg.
After completing his military service at Sangmu, he returned to Kiwoom.
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, `Infield player Lee Ju-hyung showed good batting indicators in the Futures League recently. I was reported that the quality of the ball was good, so I called the first team yesterday.
Even though the opponent's starter was left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, Hong kept left-handed hitter Lee Ju-hyung in the sixth. The head coach's eye was on point. In his first start since returning to the military, Lee Ju-hyung flew with four hits in five at-bats, two RBIs and two runs scored.
The second-hand rookie in his fifth year, who had only one hit since his professional debut, had the most hits in one game since his debut. Lee Ju-hyung, a one-year senior outfielder with the same name, also had multi-hits, and two of Kiwoom's 16 hits combined for six hits to lead the 10-7 victory.
Lee Ju-hyung is a rookie with enough energy to be greedy about his first four hits. In fact, the third-base straight hit in the last at-bat in the eighth inning was the best hit of the five at-bats today.
About Lee Ju-hyung, a one-year senior outfielder, he said "I knew Joo-hyung from a young age because he was so good and famous since he played Little Baseball. He came as a trade when I was in the military, and since then, there has been an inner intimacy. So I started talking faster and got along well", he explained. When he said, "'Shouldn't we be the two representatives of raising?' he said, "'If we raise, we will try to come up with two migration.'" replied sensibly.
When he joked that he looks a little like legendary infielder Park Seok-min's face, he said, "I want to hit him like that."I want to be a strong hitter, but I don't think I've reached that level yet, and I want to be a hitter with good power and sophistication. I don't think I'm good enough yetHe is a promising player. He is powerful enough to record his first hit as a home run against KIA at Gocheok on June 27 in the rookie season.

Lee Ju-hyung said, `We are very close friends because we served together with LG Song Seung-ki, a high school colleague (Yatago) and Sangmu, and a fan said Seung-ki wanted to meet me, so I thought the same way, and I hope we meet.'
Song Seung-gi, the LG Twins' biggest hit player this season, is the most promising candidate for Rookie of the Year. As a starting pitcher, he had eight wins, four losses and 3.25 ERA in 15 games, and once topped the ERA list for a native pitcher. A player who has established himself as a stable starter with eight quality starts, more than half of them.
Song Seung-gi came out first in the professional league, but Lee Ju-hyung was more in the spotlight during the Yatap High School days. Lee Ju-hyung was also high in the ranking of the 2021 rookie draft nominations at the time of graduation.
Lee Joo-hyung joined Kiwoom in the 39th place in the fourth round and Song Seung-ki joined LG in the 87th place in the ninth round. When he said, "'Didn't you do better in high school?'" Seung-gi was also very good, but in my memory, I wasn't feeling well in the third grade. I'm a good player, so I think I'm good at itAn icon of consideration that answers ".
It is highly likely that the best friend face-off will take place faster than expected.
Due to the rotation, Song Seung-ki is likely to start one of the last three consecutive games in the first half between LG and Kiwoom, which will be held in Jamsil from the 8th to the 10th of next month.
The key is whether Lee Joo-hyung will start or not. As he also started against left-hander Lee Seung-hyun on the 29th and recorded a hit from his first at-bat, a left-handed pitcher is not expected to be a big problem. However, the key is whether you can continue to perform until then. Choi Joo-hwan, who has been out for a while due to poor condition, will also return. Lee Ju-hyung said, "I don't know if I'll be doing well (until the victory), but I'll do my best," he says, turning valiantly. Face-to-face with best friend who is the first candidate for Rookie of the Year. If it is completed, it is expected to be an interesting sight to see.
