Yomiuri announced on the 22nd that `Lee Seung-yeop, a former member of our club, will be a temporary coach at the fall camp, which starts on the 29th.' Yomiuri's fall camp will run until Nov. 13 at the Giants Town Stadium in Inagi City, Tokyo.
The Japanese media 'Daily Sports'Lee Seung-yup played for the Yomiuri Giants for five seasons from 2006 when he was an active player with Abe. He marked 41 home runs in 2006 and 30 home runs in 2007. He explained that he was loved by the nickname Seungjjang.
`Chunichi Sports' means that Lee Seung-yeop played as an Asian cannon during Korea's Samsung era. He hit a total of 626 home runs in Korea and Japan. As a Korean representative, he targeted Daisuke Matsuzaka in the match against Japan in the bronze medal match at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and made a timely hit. For Yomiuri, strengthening the hit is a big task. I expected to put my energy into that part.
Former head coach Lee Seung-yeop stepped down as head coach of Doosan in June.
Former manager Lee Seung-yeop took the helm of Doosan from the 2023 season. He made it to the postseason for the second year in a row. He started with the goal of advancing to the Korean Series in 2025, but it didn't go his way. Doosan stepped down to take responsibility as it fell to ninth place.
