South Korean slugger Lee Seung-yeop of the Yomiuri Giants in Japan's professional baseball league has recorded his four hundredth homerun.

In a game with the Hanshin Tigers, Lee hit a two-point homer off pitcher Kei Igawa.

The homerun is his 32nd this season and four hundredth since he started his professional career.

Lee, who will turn 30 next month, became third in the world to hit four hundred homers before the age of 30 after Japanese ballplayer Sadaharu Oh and American Alex Rodriguez.
