It was a home run that shook off his troubles.

In the top of the third inning when the team was tying 1-1, Lee hit a solo homer. It was the homer that led Kiwoom to come from behind 2-1. With a flying distance of 130 meters, Lee easily crossed the right fence.
Lee Ju-hyung played 2 hits, 1 home run, 2 RBIs and 2 runs in 3 at-bats. Lee Ju-hyung, whom I met after the game, said, "I didn't feel good because I didn't hit well. It was nice that the team won and the hit came out. It felt like a good hit after a long time."
The moment I hit the homer, I thought, "Oh, I'm glad. I'm glad I got one." "I've had bad timing and rhythm. I focused on timing and rhythm today. I think I've got my thoughts in order. I'll know exactly when I play the next game."
The phone call with Lee Jung-hoo, a Kiwoom senior and currently playing for the San Francisco Giants in the Major League, was also helpful. "I got a call from (Lee) Jung-hoo recently. When asked if it was going well, he said it wasn't working." "Jung-hoo told me to put strength on the heel of my left foot and try to hit it," Lee said. "I tried it during practice, but I got a hit from the first day of the exhibition game. Jung-hoo thought it was a spring camp until the exhibition game and told me not to pay attention to the result."
Due to his injury, Lee failed to perform in spring camp and exhibition games normally last year. This resulted in poor performance during the regular season. He had a batting average of 0.266, 13 homers, 60 RBIs, 82 runs and OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.752 in 115 games, which fell short of expectations.
It is different this time. Lee Ju-hyeong has devoted time to healthcare by himself, and is running smoothly from spring camp to exhibition games.
"I am so proud of myself for always being with the team from the camp. I have to take good care of myself until the end of the season," Lee said. "I play games every day. I have made up my mind to keep my thoughts and routines to the end. If I change this to less than a day, I think I will lose my strengths. I don't know how many times I will be batting, but I will try my best not to be out. I want to show my best performance to the end this year."
