Lee Jung-hoo started the home exhibition game against the Athletics at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona on the 12th (Korea time) and scored one hit and one point from three times at bat to show off his peak hitting sense.
Lee Jung-hoo scored a double in his first at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the first inning. On the ball count of 2B2S, he hit the fifth fastball on the body of opposing left-hander Jeffrey Springs, leading to a double over the middle wall
The ball that hit the center of the bat went beyond center fielder Drew Evans' height and crossed the fence on a one-bound basis to become a ground rule double. Shortly after Lee Jung-hoo hit, his helmet came off and he turned around the base with his head flying around near the batter's box. San Francisco posted a photo of Lee Jung-hoo on the club's SNS and shared the atmosphere by attaching the phrase 'Grandson of the Wind in his element'.
It is the first time in five days that Lee Jung-hoo hit a long ball since his two-run homer against Woo Jung-wol at the bottom of the third inning against the Chicago White Sox on the 7th. The double is the second in the exhibition game.
Lee Jung-hoo then quickly turned around the third base and dug home to score the first run when Matt Chapman hit the fourth. It was an attack in which the scoring method of No. 3 Lee Jung-hoo and No. 4 Chapman duo worked properly.

Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a foul fly to left field in the fifth inning with one out and second base when the 3-1 lead continued. Changed pitcher right-hander Justin Sturner pushed the outside ball hard on the fourth pitch, but it was caught high into the left foul area. Lee Jung-hoo was replaced when defending in the top of the seventh inning.
With this, Lee Jung-hoo marked a batting average of 0.333927 for 9 hits), two homers, five RBIs, nine runs, four walks, six strikeouts and an OPS of 1.068 in 11 spring training games.
In particular, Lee Jung-hoo continued his on-base streak for 11 consecutive games. In other words, he stepped on the base with four outs or no hits in every game.
In the game against the Chicago Cubs on the 27th of last month, which was the third match, left-hander Imana got on base with a pitch from Shota in the third inning. The next day, he got a walk against the Seattle Mariners and succeeded in getting on base, and he couldn't get a hit against the Kansas City Royals on the 9th and the San Diego Padres on the 10th, but he continued his on-base streak with one walk each.
Meanwhile, San Francisco's Justin Verlander, who started on the day, pitched four hits, one walk, four strikeouts, and one run in five innings, marking a 2.45 ERA in three exhibition games.
