Although the reversal failed, Samsung dominated the second half. A remarkable performance in the team's first outside warm-up match in their spring camp.
As it was the first external real game, the lineup slowed down in the beginning, but only Lee Jae-hyun flew. Both of the first two at-bats were on base with hits, recording multiple hits early.
What was more welcome was the direction of the hit.
It was a hit to the middle after the first two outs in the first inning and a hit to the right field after the second at-bat in the fourth inning. Two days ago, in the match against Cheongbaek on the 14th, he hit a superior solo home run after one out in the seventh inning.
This means that all three hits were from the center of the ballpark to the right.
It's a remarkable change.
Lee Jae-hyun was an extreme puller until last year.
According to KBO official baseball record company Sports2I statistics, Lee Jae-hyun recorded only eight hits in right field last year.

It is calculated that if the number of hits that have been pushed increases, the season's batting average of 0.260 can be raised to nearly 30%. Considering the stable defense and long hit power, the batting average of .300 is a shortcut to the Golden Glove in his fourth year as a professional. Considering the current structure of Park Chan-ho and Park Sung-han and Oh Ji-hwan, it is a dream that is possible.
I focused on this winter 'Sophisticated'
Last winter, he and pitcher Hwang Dong-jae did intensive training at the Cressey Sports Performance (CSP), a baseball program facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. I sweated hard to fit my own swing mechanism in a certain routine.
It was a perfect effect. First of all, I realized the importance of 'systematic routine' and embodied it. He also focused on training to make accurate contacts without disturbing the balance.
I also received a memorandum from Lee Jong-yeol, the general manager, who visited the site. It was a data that focused on analyzing what Lee Jae-hyun needs to fix along with the data team. When I figured out the problem, it was a matter of sweat to fix it.

Lee Jae-hyun, who is transforming into a spray heater that sends balls to every corner of the ballpark with a natural swing that widens his face. If you draw a strong hit through a regular hit, there is a high possibility that home runs will naturally increase further at the batter-friendly Lions Park. If he raises his batting average to nearly 300 with his first 20 home runs in his debut, he can achieve his dream of winning a shortstop in his fourth year, which even coach Park Jin-man could not do.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, `Lee Jae-hyun has improved his technical skills and mind after going to the U.S. It seems that the batting view has been well established. Cheongbaekjeon was also pushed over, and a good right-handed hit is coming out of center field again today. I'm looking forward to it."
