Lee Sang-hoon (baseball)

As coach Lee Sang-hoon (Korean: 이상훈; Hanja: 李尙勳; Korean pronunciation: [i.saŋ.ɦun]; born March 11, 1971), nicknamed "Samson" for his long hair,[1] is a retired professional baseball player who played in Major League Baseball, Nippon Professional Baseball, and the KBO League.

His record of 20-5 with a 2.01 ERA, 12 complete games, and 142 strikeouts in 1995 earned him a KBO League Golden Glove Award.

Lee was posted in 1998, but became the first player whose Korean team rejected the bid for the right to negotiate with him.

Lee was at one time the highest-paid player in the KBO after he signed a 600-million-won contract in his second stint with the LG Twins in 2003.
