“I should hit a lot too”.

KIA Tigers outfielder Lee Woo-sung (29), who is on a career high, hit a grand slam. Lee launched a grand slam to left field off Brandon Waddell with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth inning of the Gwangju game against the Doosan Bears on April 15, trailing 2-1. It was an exhilarating touch as he crushed a slider over the fence.

It was his first grand slam in 11 years. It was a shot that proved he was having one of the most meaningful seasons of his career. The key to the grand slam was a joke from manager Kim Jong-kook, who laughed off his own mistake. In the second inning, he hit a grounder to third base and sprinted to first base. He was saved by a bad throw from the opposing third baseman. When he saw the ball go backwards, he headed for second base but didn’t see the first baseman and collided with his neighbor. He felt very sorry for himself.

“I apologized to the coach. He didn’t say much, but he laughed and said, ‘If you’re going to bunt, make sure you bunt. It made me feel better and relaxed. I thought I was going to strike out, so I swung confidently and it was a home run. I thought it was an outfield hit and I thought I had scored a run, but it went over, so heaven help me,” he laughed.

After retrieving the ball with the help of the staff, he immediately asked hitting coach Lee Bum-ho to write a commemorative inscription. Lee is the KBO’s record holder for most home runs (17). Now that he had hit one, he wanted to keep hitting with his energy. I also inherited his number (25). “I asked him to write a commemorative inscription. He wrote it just right. I’ve watched him play since I was a kid. He hit a lot of home runs, so I wanted to hit a lot of home runs, so I asked him to sign it,” Lee laughed.

Lee has yet to play a regular season game. He played mostly as a backup and was rarely in the first team, so there was no point in managing his fitness. “I was in the first team last year and this year. I didn’t do any physical training. I’m still watching my seniors, my friends who are good at baseball, and the juniors,” he laughed.스포츠토토

This year, he’s at the top of his game, but he’s not getting much regular at-bats because he’s bouncing back and forth between starter and backup. But playing full-time last year and this year has given him a lot of confidence. “Whether I’m starting or coming off the bench, I don’t care about the result, I just try to be confident. I used to think badly about it, but it’s changed a lot,” he said.

Despite this being a career-high season, she has no personal goals. “I need to stay injury-free. I wanted to hit triple digits, but I could see I was being self-conscious. Now I have to remind myself. The answer is to be relaxed without goals… It feels good to remove personal goals. It’s all about team victory. That’s how you get good treatment and a good team image. The fans will come to the ballpark,” he said. The maturity of the 11-year veteran was evident.
