San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo bombed the Major League Baseball's 「Heart Department」.

He hit his first home run of the season in New York, showing off his batting sense as the NL batting champion and MVP candidate.

Lee Jung-hoo played in center field three times in the first game of the three away games against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on the 12th (Korea time) and hit a home run in his first at-bat. He went 1 for 2 with 3 RBIs, 2 runs and 1 walk in his first three at-bats.




Mike Yastremski's double to right-center in the top of the first inning, Willy Adames' walk to first and second bases with no outs. Lee Jung-hoo pulled an 89.4-mile sinker that flew slightly outward from the middle of the third pitch in the ball count 1B1S against Yankees right-hander veteran starter Marcus Stroman and connected it with a three-run shot that slightly crossed the right-center fence.

With a launch angle of 24 degrees, a batting speed of 100.5 miles and a driving distance of 387 feet, Lee Jung-hoo's first homer of the season and his third in the big league. It is the first time in 356 days that Lee Jung-hoo hit a home run in the Major League since his superior solo shot in the bottom of the first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park on April 21 last year.

The local broadcaster is "splitting the ball. The ball extends deep into the middle of the right. Judge is following back and just staring. Lee Jung-hoo hits a three-run home run like this. The Giants lead 3-0. It's Lee Jung-hoo's first home run of the season, and 5, 6, 7 RBIs are piled up"Marcus Stroman doesn't do that when he's in trouble at this point, but he didn't like the sinker today, so he tried to play the ball low. If you look at it now, the ball came up into the strike zone. The ball that I was going to drop was pushed into the middle of the strike zone and it didn't hit a ground ball", he explained.

San Francisco took the lead with Lee Jung-hoo's first three-run shot, and Lamont Wade Jr. called in both runners with a right double to go 5-0 with no outs and continued chances on the first and second bases obtained by consecutive walks by Matt Chapman and Elliott Ramos. In fact, the game was decided in the first inning.

Lee Jung-hoo, who grounded out to shortstop in his second at-bat after one out in the second inning, went out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning with a 5-1 lead and picked up a 94.6-mile-high fastball from the full count to get on base. Lee Jung-hoo, who advanced to third base with Chapman's walk and Lamont's walk after one, dug home when Wilmer Flores grounded out to the pitcher and widened the gap to 6-1. Then, Yankees pitcher Tim Hill's wild pitch drove Chapman home and Patrick Bailey hit a double to the right, leading San Francisco to an 8-1 run.

Meanwhile, the game is being played in a chilly temperature of 6.7 degrees Celsius amid the rain. Lee wore a black headscarf that completely covered his neck and ears and a helmet on top of it.
