He was also a highly regarded left-handed power pitcher who threw in the mid-90s as a starter.
In 1997, he was selected for the South Korea national junior team that finished in 5th place at the 1997 World Junior Baseball Championship held in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
Lee was selected South Korea national baseball team at the 1998 Asian Junior Baseball Championship, 2002 Intercontinental Cup, 2003 Asian Baseball Championship, 2006 2006 Asian Games, 2008 Summer Olympics and 2009 World Baseball Classic.
