Slugger Lee Seung-yeop has rejoined his former team in South Korea‘s top baseball league.
Lee has signed a one-year deal with the Samsung Lions in the Korea Baseball Organization, the club announced Monday.
The left-handed first baseman agreed to 800 million won ($707,960) in salary plus another 300 million won in a club option.
Lee is back in the KBO after spending eight seasons in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball with three different clubs. In his last KBO contract, he was paid 630 million won per season.
“I didn‘t think I would ever come back, and I can’t describe how happy I am to be returning,” Lee said through the team‘s press release. “The Lions are my home at heart, and I felt terrible when I left for Japan.”
Lee was born in Daegu, the home of the Lions, located about 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul. The Lions won the KBO championship this year, and Lee said he was looking forward to teaming up with the new players for another run at the title.
