Lee Jung-hoo returned to the Major League on the 23rd (Korea time) through the Texas Rangers exhibition game.
It is the first real game in about nine months since he was out of the season due to a collision and shoulder injury while playing fence in May last year.
Lee Jung-hoo, who started as the third batter, hit through the first pitch of opposing starter Tyler Mahler in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. The record on the day was one hit and one strikeout from three times at bat. He was replaced after finishing his third at-bat in the fifth inning.
In particular, he showed a good defense in the bottom of the first inning to sprint and catch Texas batter Evan Carter's deep ball in the outfield.
However, it wasn't just anyone who came to mind last year's injury scene. MLB.COM was a defense that reminded me of the moment I was injured last year"I caught the ball first before I hit the wall.", he explained.

After the game, Lee Jung-hoo also said, `I can't say I have 100% confidence now,' but added "I'm focusing on what I have to do and trying to help my team." I'll spend more time on the field," he said, holding himself together.
