The language is Korean, but a home run call is universal. And after a few replays, the last one on the YouTube video zooms in on Jae-gyun Hwang, standing at home plate with his bat in the air, admiring the long ball he pulled around the left field pole.
He leans to one side, as if to coax the ball fair. He flips his bat high in the air and begins his trot around the bases.
The video of the former star of South Korea's Lotte Giants has more than 317,000 views. Now that Hwang is at spring training with the San Francisco Giants after agreeing to a minor league contract, the 29-year-old knows preening and bat-flipping is discouraged by many in Major League Baseball's culture.
