'The sense of hitting came back up properly.'

San Francisco Giants' key hitter Lee Jung-hoo (27) resumed his hit after six at-bats against the Milwaukee Brewers and continued his momentum to achieve his ninth multi-hit game of the season.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the third center fielder in a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on the morning of the 24th (Korea time) and hit in his first at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the first inning.




Lee Jung-hoo has recently slowed down a bit. As the 'Hell's 17 Series' came to an end, his physical strength declined, and opposing pitchers also began to deal with Lee Jung-hoo, who is currently the scariest batter in San Francisco.

As a result, his batting average in the last five games was only .20 (four hits in 20 at-bats) until the game against Milwaukee on the previous day. There were even two hitless games. In the game against Milwaukee on the 23rd, he had no hit in four at-bats for one walk. Therefore, the batting average, which soared to 0.361 by hitting two hits in three at-bats against the Los Angeles Angels on the 19th, fell to 0.315. Carefully, concerns about the collapse of the batting average of 300,000 began to sprout.

However, Lee Jung-hoo started the hit again after six at-bats.

Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the batter's box after two outs in the bottom of the first inning, watched both the first and second strikes against Milwaukee right-hander Freddie Peralta. It was to check the movement of the four-seam fastball and change-up. Peralta then threw a 93.9 mph (about 151 km) four-seam on the same course as the first pitch on the third pitch.

Lee responded properly this time. He relaxed and pushed slightly to make a left-handed hit. The batting speed was 90.1 miles (145 kilometers), which was not fast. This is the result of making a hit with ease. However, he failed to score due to a failed follow-up.

As a result, Lee Jung-hoo hit again in six at-bats after a triple in the bottom of the seventh inning against Milwaukee on the 22nd, giving strength to maintain a batting average of 300. Lee Jung-hoo, who had a hit from his first at-bat, was out with a fly ball to the third base in his second at-bat, which came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning.




However, he succeeded in targeting Peralta again in the bottom of the sixth inning. Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the batter's box after leadoff hitter Willy Adames hit a heavy hit, hit Peralta's first pitch changeup (88.5 miles) to lead to a right-handed hit. This time, he hit a strong ball aiming for the first pitch properly. It was a hard hit with a batting speed of 102.5 miles (about 165 kilometers).

As a result, Lee Jung-hoo was the first in the team to reach the 30-hit mark, achieving his ninth multi-hit game of the season in five games since the game against the Los Angeles Angels (2 for 3) on the 19th. Lee Jung-hoo, who had two hits in three at-bats until the sixth inning, posted a batting average of 0.326 (30 hits in 92 at-bats).
