Japanese baseball fans showed keen interest as “Joseon’s No. 4 hitter” Lee Dae-ho swung a home run and other hard hits in the Korea-Japan Legend Match.

Lee Dae-ho started as the fourth batter at the “Korea-Japan Dream Playes Game” held in Hokkaido, Japan on the 30th of last month, and hit three hits including a home run.

The “Korea-Japan Dream Players Game,” which celebrated its second anniversary this year, is an event match featuring retired legendary baseball players from Korea and Japan.

The match ended blandly as Korean Legend won 7 to 1.

Lee Dae-ho was at the center of it. Lee Dae-ho, who retired from active duty after the last 2022 season, still showed his rusty skills on the day.

When Lee Dae-ho hit a timely double in the third inning and a home run in the sixth inning, Japanese media reported, “Lee Dae-ho, who hit 486 home runs in Korea, the U.S. and Japan, showed his unchanged skills and won the MVP of the tournament with three hits, including home runs.”

A Japanese media outlet said, “Return your retirement immediately,” “Why don’t you return to the Orix Buffaloes and save the team?” and “Come back.”
