Lee Young-bin started as the ninth batter and right fielder in a home game against the Hanwha Eagles at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th.
Lee Young-bin swallowed his deep regret against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 3rd. Lee Young-bin, who took the batter's box as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning when he was losing 4-7, hit KIA closer Jung Hae-young's first pitch fastball and sent it to the center fence. The hit ball was caught in the fence. The second base umpire declared a recognition double.
The problem is that this ball did not go through the fence, but was caught in the back space after crossing the fence. It was a hit that should have been a home run. The second base referee, who saw the ball stuck in, went close and had a safety guard remove it. There was no reversal of the verdict.
The home run could have been corrected as a home run if LG made a request because there was no limit on the number of video readings. However, there was no request from LG bench as well.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was furious at this fact. "I couldn't sleep because I was so angry" "The second baseman just moved on because he looked close to the fence. I trusted the referee and didn't do the video review. The referee saw it for himself, and who would do the video review?"

Lee Young-bin shook off his disappointment in five days. Lee Young-bin, who took the batter's box at the first and second bases in the bottom of the third inning with a 3-0 lead, did not miss Hanwha's second pitcher Kim Ki-joong's slider in 2B1S. The ball went straight over the right fence. Lee Young-bin's first home run of the season and his fourth career home run. It was also his first home run at Jamsil Stadium.
With this home run, LG set the tone perfectly in the beginning with a 6-0 run.
