Lee Dae-ho hits a three-run homerun

Lee Dae-ho hits a three-run homerun. May. 12, 2016 07:42. . Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais must be facing a dilemma right now. He has to choose between adhering to the platoon system and putting Lee Dae-ho on the batting order regardless of who the starting pitcher is. Seattle made its 20th victory by winning against the Tampa Bay Rays 6-4 on Tuesday local time. Lee Dae-ho's three-run homer in the fourth inning was the determining factor. He hit his fifth homerun in the season against Tampa Bay's left-handed pitcher Drew Smyly.

Mariners broadcasters Rick Rizzs said that Lee Dae-ho is the big hero who made the 20th victory. When the three-run homerun was hit, Servais and hitting coach Edgar Martinez rejoiced and exchanged a high-five in the dugout.

Not many people know that Seattle has strong batters. Seattle shares the lead in number of homeruns with the Baltimore Orioles, known for its excellent batters. One of the reasons that Seattle has won games without making big news is Lee Dae-ho, who made five homeruns, far below the minimal bats requirement. He has been in 19 matches including when he was a pinch hitter, and recorded five homeruns in 46 at bat. His slugging average is 0.609. Those five homeruns were critical to the team's victory, earning nine scores. With walk-off homers, game-changing consecutive homeruns, and determining three-run homeruns, Lee has well-demonstrated his capability next to second baseman Robinson Cano (12 homeruns).

On that day, Servais appointed Lee as the seventh batter, which was one turn earlier than usual. The adjustment took effect. Lee hit consecutive homeruns in the match against Auckland on May 5, and Servais excluded him from the match against Houston the next day. Tampa Bay's pitcher on Wednesday is right-handed Chris Archer. Left-handed Adam Lind is likely to be the batter. Batting has a cycle. When it is an upturn for a player, he must continue playing for the player and for the team.
