2010.2.4/Yomiuri Giants spring camp is held at Sunmarin Stadium in Miyazaki, and Lee Seung-yeop is training together. On the 29th, Yomiuri started autumn camp at Giants Town and Giants Stadium indoor practice grounds. It was officially announced that former coach Lee Seung-yeop, who has been the fourth batter of the Yomiuri for five years since 2006, will participate in the camp as a temporary coach, and former coach Lee has been a coach in a Yomiuri uniform since the first day of the camp.
He has played with Yomiuri's manager Abe and Kamei's outfield defense and baserunning coach when he was a player.
In an interview with Sports Hochi, Lee said "Abe was invited. I'm grateful to director Abe"I was very happy to meet everyone" he said.
Former coach Lee, who has seen batters hit hard, said, `Richard has great power. Sasaki is also powerful and has great batting. There are a lot of good players," he said, expressing his feelings about the batters' practice hits.
Former coach Lee will be with him until November 13, the last day of the fall camp. Former coach Lee said, "I have experience as a coach, but I don't have experience as a coach, so I want to study and do it."
Lee played for Japan for eight years from 2004 to 2011. He played for Chiba Lotte for two years in 2004 and 2005 and for Yomiuri from 2006 to 2010. In particular, he won the Central League's home run king and RBI king with 41 home runs and 108 RBIs in 2006.
Lee, who last played for Orix and returned to Samsung in 2012 and played until 2017, had 467 home runs and 1498 RBIs in the KBO League, and 159 home runs and 439 RBIs in Japan.
He took over as manager of the Doosan Bears in 2023 and put the team in the top five for the first year and the second consecutive year last year, but left the team on June 2 due to his poor performance from the beginning of this season.
