Lee Jae-hyun of the Samsung Lions immediately played in the first division as a shortstop after being selected as the first designation in 2022. Although he did not play the full season due to injury during the season, he showed sufficient potential even as a rookie. In 2023, he played in 143 games as a full-time shortstop, hitting a batting average of 239, 114 hits, 12 home runs and 60 RBIs, and although he was out at the beginning of the season due to injury last year, he played 109 games with a batting average of 260 and 101 hits, 14 home runs and 66 RBIs, showing his batting performance gradually improving.
Lee Jae-hyun is growing up after serving as the main shortstop for three years, but his determination for this season was different. Lee Jae-hyun said, `I want to show you how I improve every year. My grades haven't come out on top yet. If I can't do it this year, I think I'll become a player who feels like I'm neither here nor there"I think I'm in a position to develop every year because I haven't reached the top yet. The top priority is to record better performance than last year."
He trained in the U.S. last month to improve his batting. He trained with pitcher Hwang Dong-jae at the Cressey Sports Performance (CSP), a baseball program facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was to learn fitness management know-how and swing mechanism.
Lee Jae-hyun said, `When I saw several players hitting and listened to the coaches, I felt that baseball's view seemed to have broadened a little. I think there are more things I can do as well. "Each player had their own routine in place. And even before batting or weight training, I was very surprised to see that he invested a lot of time in the warm-up industry. He also expressed his feelings about training in the U.S.
Although hitting is important, he did not forget the importance of defense as a shortstop. Lee Jae-hyun said, `I will defend hard in the camp first. The first is defense. There must be no mistake." Then "Should I say it's my clear form in hitting. I think I need to establish what I thought during the winter when I practiced and practiced"
