Lee Jung-hoo started as the third center fielder in the final spring training match against the Detroit Tigers at Oracle Park on the 26th (Korea time) and recorded no hits in three at-bats.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had no hits in three at-bats against Detroit, which he played the previous day after recovering from back pain, had a somewhat sluggish hit with a total of one hit in six at-bats, one run, and one strikeout in the two final rehearsals ahead of the opening game. Since hitting a double in the first inning against the Athletics on the 12th, he has no hits in 11 at-bats. San Francisco will play its opening game against the Cincinnati Reds on the 28th.
However, the two home games against Detroit were a stage that confirmed that he was able to cleanse his fear of bile symptoms, such as not sleeping well during the exhibition game, and played offense and defense. Lee Jung-hoo, who played as a leadoff last year, will turn into the third hitter this season and help his team improve its scoring ability.

San Francisco took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning when Tyler Fitzgerald hit a two-run homer to left after a walk by leadoff Mike Yastremski. After one out, Willy Adames provided an opportunity with a left-handed hit, and Lee Jung-hoo took the batter's box for the second time for the runner. However, on the ball count 1B2S, Jove's fourth pitch 86.9 miles low cutter was sent to the screech. a three-pitch strikeout.
It was a pity that the ball that was thrown with a line drive by pulling the 86-mile changeup well, which fell to the low course of the body on the third pitch, was fouled out in front of the right foul pole.
He hit a grounder to second base with two outs in the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead. On the ball count one strike, right-hander Casey Mize's 2nd pitch 83.3 miles outside slider was missed, making it a normal ground ball.
Lee Jung-hoo was replaced when defending in the top of the seventh inning when the score was tied 2-2.
With this, Lee Jung-hoo ended the exhibition game with a batting average of 0.250 (9 hits in 36 at-bats), two homers, five RBIs, 10 runs, five walks, eight strikeouts, an on-base percentage of 0.357, a slugging percentage of 0.472 and an OPS of 0.829.
He did not have a hit in two games after returning from a back injury, but he is not expected to play in the opening game in that he played both offense and defense with a healthy body.
