It occupied the American League in just two games. The official San Francisco SNS account does not have time to rest due to Lee Jung-hoo's outstanding performance. However, Lee Jung-hoo is not included in the list of nominees for the Rookie of the Year.
Lee Jung-hoo started the Major League Baseball game against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on the 30th (Korea time), and led his team to an 8-3 victory by recording two hits and one RBI in five times at bat. Since his Major League debut, he has recorded two consecutive hits and one RBI, completing his first multi-hit game.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had his first hit since his debut on Wednesday last week, fired up from the first inning. The starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres was Joe Musgrove. He signed a five-year, 100 million-dollar contract for the 2022 season. Lee confidently swung the bat. As the first batter in the top of the first inning, he watched the 92.3 miles (148.5 kilometers) first pitch sinker with a strike. Then on the second pitch, he swung an 87-mile change-up to the center of his body to secure critical hit. The ball had a whopping 108.9 miles (175.2 kilometers) in speed.
At the second batter's box, Lee remained calm. Taking the batter's box with no runner on and one out in the second inning, Lee gained the upper hand by banking on his advantage in the count of three balls and one strike. In the batting count, Lee hit the 89.7 miles (144 kilometers) cutter on Musgrove's fifth pitch. He hit the ball at the exit velocity of 92.1 miles per hour, which was relatively good, but it did not extend. He retired after hitting a fly ball to right field.
However, he had a chance to hit the first and second bases with one out in the third inning. With one ball and one strike, Lee hit a four-seam shot at 92 miles (148 kilometers) per hour. It was a hit directed at San Diego shortstop Kim Ha-sung, who made a timely hit past Kim.
Since then, Lee has failed to garner a hit at bat. Lee, who appeared as the leadoff hitter in the top of the seventh inning, hit a 94.4 mile (152 km) four-seam pitch in the fourth pitch due to a mistake of two strikes against Stebel Kolek, but was out after hitting a grounder to the second base.
Lee faced his last at-bat with runners on second and two outs in the top of the eighth inning. Lee will meet Enel de Los Santos. He hit a powerful four-seam with the count of one ball and one strike at 93.6 miles per hour. The latest four-seam speed was 108 miles (174 kilometers), similar to the speed of the first hit. However, Lee's three-hit game was not created when center fielder Jackson Merrill threw a reverse hit. He expected the batting average of 0.666, but it was regrettable that the game did not lead to a hit.
Lee signed a six-year, 113 million-dollar contract with the San Francisco Giants this season. Though Lee had never played in a single game in the Major League, the team boldly opened its wallet while watching Lee's performance in Korea, and was confident that he was a talented player who could play in the Major League as well.
Lee signed Buster Posey (nine years, 167 million dollars), Jonny Cueto (six years, 130 million dollars), Matt Cain (six years, 127.5 million dollars) and Barry Zito (seven years, 100 million dollars). He is the fifth-largest player in the club history, following 26 million dollars. Concerns were raised for granted. Kim Ha-sung of the San Diego Padres, who has grown up to play as a Gold Glove player, also had to go through a harsh adjustment period in his early days after his debut.
However, Lee Jung-hoo played in 13 games from the exhibition game of spring training, boasting a batting average of 343 percent (12 hits in 35 times at bat), one home run, five RBIs, six runs and two steals, and continues to do so through the regular season. In the previous day, he produced strong hits of 100.4 miles (162 kilometers) and 99.9 miles (161 kilometers) in succession, and on the day, he hit even stronger hits.
Melvin also praised Lee's talent for producing strong balls even in changing environments. "(Lee) is probably the center fielder who not only hits multi-hits but also hits the hardest," Melvin said. "(He) has consistently shown good swings since the spring training, and despite starting the season with a completely new environment against new pitchers, he is showing good performance," he said. "It is really nice to see a player performing well at this level." 토토사이트웹
