Template:Korean name

Lee Ho-Joon (born February 8, 1976 in Gwangju, South Korea) is a a South Korean professional baseball designated hitter and first baseman for the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization. He bats and throws right-handed.

Amateur career

While attending Gwangju Jaeil High School, Lee was considered one of the top high school hitting pitchers, batting fourth in the team's batting order and pitching No.1 in the starting rotation. In November 1993 Lee was selected as a member of the South Korea junior national baseball team along with Cho In-Sung and competed in the friendly baseball series against the Japanese regional high school all-star teams. Lee helped Team Korea sweep the six-game series as a starting pitcher and first baseman.

Professional career

Haitai Tigers / Kia Tigers

Lee made his KBO debut as a pitcher with the Haitai Tigers in 1994. He made eight appearances as a relief pitcher for the Tigers, posting a 10.22 earned run average and allowing seven home runs in 12 1/3 inning pitched. After his horrendous rookie season, Lee converted his position to first base.

In 1996, his first season as a position player, Lee batted .167 having three hits in 18 at-bats. He had a respectable season as a position player in the 1997, batting .278 in 58 games.

The next year (1998) was Lee’s break-out season. He batted .303 and smacked 19 home runs with 77 RBI, becoming a fixture at first base and batting fourth in batting order for the Tigers.

Lee had another solid season in 1999, but his statistics declined from the previous year. He finished with a .276 batting average, 16 home runs and 55 RBI playing in 107 games as a first baseman.

SK Wyverns

During the 2000 season, Lee was traded to the SK Wyverns.
