After two shots in the fourth inning, Lee Seong-gyu, who went on base with a right-handed hit, kicked left-hander Shim Jae-min’s low fastball without hesitation after two shots in the sixth inning, leading 3-0, and flew over the fence to his left. An exhilarating parabola with a flight distance of 121m, enough to fall into the net. Including a home run as a substitute, 3 hits in 4 at-bats and 1 RBI. It was a cycling hit without a triple hit.

Even in the last at-bat at the end of the 8th inning, he hit a big line-driving foul hit like a left clothesline that chilled KT finisher Kim Jae-yoon’s conversation. Regardless of the opposing pitcher, his confidence was inflated to the fullest.

After the game, Lee Seong-gyu showed confidence, saying, “Now I’m doing my swing regardless of the opponent’s pitcher.” It is a part that predicts a big performance in the regular season.

He hit 3 home runs in 6 games only as a substitute. Excluding this day, all of the previous five games had only one at-bat. Nevertheless, he is showing off his terrifying slugging power enough to come out as the No. 1 home run. An amazing pace that goes over when caught by a bat.

Throughout the winter, head coach Lee Byeong-kyu and coach Park Han-yi worked hard to erase their weaknesses in dealing with outside breaking balls. only one problem. It explodes terribly when you cross the hurdles.

Lee Seong-gyu explained, “I used to attack recklessly in the past, but now I have my own zone and I’m coping with a direction in the middle right, like throwing a bat at an outside breaking ball.” .

The outfield defense, which has been moved to make use of its batting talent, is also of a high standard. It is possible to defend center field as well as corner. On this day, he played as a center fielder and showed off his unreasonable defensive skills.

He explained, “It’s my first time as a center, so it’s a little different from the corner, so it’s difficult, but I have the advantage of being able to focus on hitting while working full-time in the outfield.” Lee Seong-gyu said, “First of all, my goal is to enter as many games as possible by entering the opening entry.” He clarified his current goal, saying, “I’m 30 now. I’m no longer a promising player. It’s time to do well.”

Park Jin-man, head coach of Samsung, said, “As I went to the game every day, I gained confidence in my swing. The hesitation when swinging has disappeared. It also has speed, so it is possible to use it widely. I am looking forward to this season.”

The birth of Geopo, who waited 8 years. The likelihood that this season will become a reality has increased. It was an impressive performance that thrilled the 8,443 spectators who filled up Rapak for the holiday.
