Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants) proved why he is a star by hitting a long shot at an important moment.
Local media 'CBS Sports' mentioned Lee Jung-hoo's name on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) while introducing '10 Stories that stand out as we enter the fourth week of opening'.
"Lee Jung-hoo is a star. The recent weeks have been the best period for Lee and his team as well. Despite having no hits in five times at bat on Sunday, Lee still has a batting average of 0.333 and an OPS of 0.982 and is leading the league with 10 doubles (as of Tuesday's pregame). He is remarkably good at both contact and batting speed."
CBS Sports explained in detail why Lee Jung-hoo is a star. "Lee's expected batting average, which can be confirmed by the Statcast's expectation index, is 0.337 and his expected slugging ratio is 0.521, sufficiently supporting his stat line at the moment. This means that he did not build his performance by lucky bad hits," the media reported.
Lee Jung-hoo is more than just a baseball player and an 'entertainer' as he adds an aggressive base run and a defensive play that is cool enough to appear in the highlights. "I can't take my eyes off him when I watch his game. His skills are important, but if he is a star, his fans should want to see him. He meets the requirements."
This is not the first time that Lee Jung-hoo has won the "Star" title. The Major League's official website MLB.com reported on the 19th, "We are increasingly realizing why Lee Jung-hoo is considered special in Korea. I think San Francisco has found a long-awaited superstar."
"Lee Jung-hoo is already a star player in San Francisco. In the first weekend game of the season, there was a special stand called 'Jeong-hoo Crew' and a fan club called the 'Furigans' was formed," he added.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had been on a hit streak for five consecutive games from the Philadelphia Phillies game on the 16th to the Los Angeles Angels game on the 20th, withdrew with no hits and one strikeout in five at-bats on the 21st, and his batting average fell to 0.333. Having failed to report a hit until the third at-bat against Milwaukee on the 22nd, he is on the verge of being hitless for the first two consecutive games of the season. 메이저사이트
Lee Jung-hoo showed off his star instinct. When San Francisco was leading 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Lee scored a run away by hitting a long ball in his fourth at-bat. With two outs and a runner on the first base, he hit the second pitch of Jared Keynick, a left-hander who changed his position, and led to a triple to the middle-right. It was Lee Jung-hoo's second triple of the season. While fast-paced Lee Jung-hoo was running to the third base, LaMonte Wade Jr., a runner on the first base, homered and scored a run.
San Francisco added a run-away score in the eighth inning with Patrick Bailey's sacrifice fly with one out and runners on the first and third bases, leading to a 5-2 victory against Milwaukee. Lee Jung-hoo's batting average fell slightly from 0.333 to 0.329, but his OPS edged up from 0.981 to 0.983.
