The 18th youth C team of the Korea Youth Baseball Federation, led by Hwang Min-ho (Asan City Youth Baseball Team) and Yoon Kyu-jin (Songpa-gu Youth Baseball Team), won 9-1 in the "2024 Korea-Taiwan International Exchange Game" held at the ballpark of Tainan Elementary School on the 15th.

The youth C team had explosive play from the third inning. At the bottom of the third inning with the score tied 1-1, the team scored two runs to take the lead. Then, it scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to make a big inning. Then, Lee's bat exploded. Lee hit a solo home run over the left fence in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Starting as the ninth batter and catcher, Lee Kun-hee played one hit, one homer and one RBI from three times at bat, and the youth C team won its second consecutive game in Taiwan by banking on Lee's home run. Lee crossed the Taiwan fence for the first time in an international exchange match. The flying distance amounted to 85 meters.

After the game, Lee Kun-hee said, "I'm happy that my team won. I hope the next game will have a good result," adding, "I thought my home run went over when I first got hit, but I didn't think it would go that far."

Lee's main position is not catcher. He is mostly playing outfield for the Anyang City Juvenile Baseball Team, but is serving as the home ground maestro for the team. Though he is not used to this position, Lee is willing to wear a catcher's mask for the team.

Lee Kun-hee said, "I said I would voluntarily take charge of the national team because there was no catcher in the team. When I first saw him, it was difficult to sign, and there were difficult parts such as blocking breaking balls, but I got used to it. Now I have confidence in catching fast balls."

"He is a baseball player who works very hard," said Nam Seong-ho, manager of the Anyang Youth Baseball Team. "He started his baseball late, but his development is fast. He also has power, so I have high expectations on his batting performance. He is an outfielder, but we plan to make him capable of seeing even a catcher."

The person Lee respects the most is the Minwoo Jung coach of the Anyang Youth Baseball Organization. "I like Coach Minwoo Jung the most," Lee said. "He is good at baseball and always teaches me kindly to the players."

Lastly, Lee said, "I am confident in my slugging ability. I hit two home runs this year as well. I want to hit more home runs in the future. I will become a player who can help my team by hitting long balls."
