Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in the home exhibition game against the Chicago White Sox at Scottsdale Stadium in Arizona on the 7th (Korea time) and scored one hit, two RBIs and one run from three times at bat, including a home run. San Francisco won the game 7-3.
The home run shot burst in the second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning with a 1-0 lead. San Francisco reached base with Willy Adames getting a pitch from White Sox starter Jonathan Cannon after one out. Lee Jung-hoo then hit a ball through the middle of Cannon's fourth pitch with a ball count of 1B2S and hit the right-center fence with a line drive.
It is the first time in 10 days that Lee Jung-hoo hit a home run since his superior solo shot in the bottom of the first inning against the Colorado Rockies on the 25th of last month. In addition, Lee Jung-hoo showed off his peak hitting sense by continuing his hit streak in four consecutive games with this home run.
Following Lee Jung-hoo in the third inning, No. 4 Matt Chapman also crossed the ball to the right-center and drew a back-to-back arch to widen the gap to 4-0. In his first at-bat in the second inning, Chapman hit a solo home run over the middle of the wall and fired a consecutive at-bat to increase the number of homers in the exhibition game to three. He is the leader of the team in this category. It can be said that Lee Jung-hoo and Chapman led the batting line with their long-range power and brought an early victory.

San Francisco immediately posted a video of the two players' home runs on the club's SNS when Lee Jung-hoo and Chapman's back-to-back home runs hit in the third inning, and Lee Jung-hoo's photo was separately marked with the phrase `handsome and healthy.' Being healthy means that Lee Jung-hoo, who underwent shoulder surgery last year, recovered his perfect physical condition.
Lee Jung-hoo made his major league debut last year and was adjusting smoothly, and ended the season after undergoing surgery after hitting the fence and injuring his shoulder while trying to catch an outfield fly against the Cincinnati Reds on May 13. The first season of the six-year, $113 million contract was ruined by an unexpected injury. However, Lee Jung-hoo, who went smoothly in rehabilitation, changed his name to third hitter instead of leadoff, and is waiting for the opening of the season with absolute support from manager Bob Melvin.
"We have to score in a different way," Melvin said after the game. We won't be the team that hits the most home runs in the Major League this season. If you think it's hard to hit a home run, you'll have to play a little differently. Mobility will be one of them."

The San Francisco Chronicle reported 'In addition to motivation, considerable long balls were also poured out. Chapman hit two home runs, and Lee Jung-hoo hit a two-run shot. Mike Yastremski also hit his second home run in the exhibition game, 'Melvin is playing in the exhibition game with Lamont Wade Jr. as the leadoff and Lee Jung-hoo as the third batter. Wade's on-base ability and Lee Jung-hoo's ability to hit the ball make the top batting line very interesting. Coach Melvin already gave Lee Jung-hoo a hit-and-run sign, saying, 'It is no longer a common operation in the big leagues, but it is not a bad scoring method if it is a team with average offense in the West, where strong teams are concentrated.'
With this, Lee Jung-hoo marked a batting average of 0.400 (8 hits in 20 at-bats), two homers, four RBIs, six runs, two walks, five strikeouts and an OPS of 1.228 in eight spring training games.
