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, San Francisco's fourth batter Matt Chapman also crossed the ball to the right-center and drew a back-to-back arch to widen the gap to 4-0. Chapman led the team in this category with his third homer in an exhibition game.
Lee Jung-hoo was out with a fly ball to center field in his first at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the first inning. In the fourth inning with a 4-1 lead, with two outs, he grounded out to the second base and left a regret.
Lee Jung-hoo was replaced by Grant McCray in defense at the top of the sixth inning with a 4-1 lead. San Francisco posted the news of Lee Jung-hoo and Chapman's back-to-back home runs on the club's SNS, and Lee Jung-hoo's photo was captioned "Handsome an whoole."

It is expected to gain power with the newly installed 3-4 times 'Double Po' this season.
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.
