Baseball slugger Lee Seung-yeop has hit his 100th homerun in Japan.

The Yomiuri Giants cleanup hitter set the milestone Sunday against the host Hiroshima Carps, taking pitcher Aoki Takahiro's first pitch way over the right fence for a two-run blast.

Lee hit the 100-homer mark after three and a half years and 432 games in Japan. He has a combined 424 roundtrippers in Korea and Japan.

He set the Asian single-season homer mark of 56 with Korea's Samsung Lions, and joined Japan's Lotte Marines in 2004.

Lee is the 250th player in Japanese pro baseball and the eighth active foreign player to hit the mark.
