Professional baseball player Lee Jae-won, known as the 'Jamsil Big Boy,' is showcasing his fearsome home run power in the military. Lee Jae-won has hit 10 home runs in his last 10 games.

Lee Jae-won made his 4th start as a left fielder on the 15th against the Samsung Lions in the 2025 Futures League at Gyeongsan Stadium, recording 1 hit, 1 home run, 1 walk, 1 RBI, and 2 runs in 4 at-bats.

Lee Jae-won stepped to the plate as the lead-off hitter in the second inning but went down on a looking Samjin. The military and Samsung exchanged a run each in the third inning.

With the score tied 1-1 in the fourth inning and no outs, Lee Jae-won got on base by being hit by a pitch, creating a chance with no outs and runners on first and second. The following batters made two consecutive pop-ups for outs.

With two outs and runners on first and second, Kim Jae-sang walked to load the bases. A wild pitch during Kim Hyun-jun's at-bat allowed the runner on third to score, and Lee Jae-won advanced to third base. Kim Hyun-jun was then hit by a pitch, bringing the bases loaded again. Jeong Eun-won's timely hit brought two runners home.

Leading 5-1 in the fifth inning, Lee Jae-won went down on a looking Samjin with no outs and a runner on first. In the seventh inning, with a lead of 7-5, he came up as the lead-off hitter and hit a solo home run (distance 115m) over the left-field fence on the first pitch against Samsung's bullpen pitcher Kim Dae-woo. He struck out in the ninth inning with no outs and a runner on first.

Lee Jae-won's bat is hot. He is hitting .400 (16 hits in 40 at-bats) with 10 home runs, 23 RBIs, and 16 runs in his last 10 games, with an OPS of 1.655.

He has hit home runs in three consecutive games and also achieved three home runs in a single game. He hit home runs in two consecutive games against Samsung on the 13th and 15th. He had 4 home runs in 15 games in May and 10 home runs in 10 games in June.

Lee Jae-won has participated in 33 games in the Futures League this season, with a batting average of .364, 17 home runs, 51 RBIs, 44 runs, an on-base percentage of .469, a slugging percentage of .791, and an OPS of 1.260. He ranks second in home runs due to a hitting spree in June. The gap with Han Dong-hee, who ranks first with 20 home runs, is not very wide.

Lee Jae-won took the entire month of April off. He has played 20 fewer games than Han Dong-hee (53 games), resulting in a difference of 87 at-bats. Nevertheless, he is closing in on Han Dong-hee, making the competition for home run king among military peers more interesting. He is also third in RBIs, while his slugging percentage surpasses that of Han Dong-hee, who is first in home runs (.787), making him the overall leader in the Futures League.

Youm Kyoung-youb, the LG coach, sent Lee Jae-won to the military last June, stating, "Go and destroy the minors." He continued, "Looking back at players like Choi Hyung-woo and Koo Ja-wook, they overwhelmed the minors by recording a batting average of over .350. Hitting .350 means you have contact ability, which increases the chances of adjusting and succeeding at the pro level."

Lee Jae-won is a promising right-handed power hitter that LG has high hopes for. In the 2022 season, he played 85 games, hitting .224 (50 hits in 223 at-bats) with 13 home runs. However, in 2023, he saw fewer opportunities with a batting average of .214 in 57 games (24 hits in 112 at-bats) and only hit 4 home runs. He did not make the necessary step-up. Yet, he is showing signs of growth during his military service. Lee Jae-won is set to be discharged in December and will join LG for the next season.
