Lee Jung-hoo scored his first home run of the season in an away game against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 12th (Korea time).
Lee Jung-hoo, who started as the third batter and center fielder, had a chance from the first inning. Lee Jung-hoo, who took the first batter's box with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, hit Yankees starter Marcus Stroman's 3rd pitch 89.4 miles (144 kilometers) sinker and connected it with a three-run home run that coolly crossed the right-center fence at Yankee Stadium.
It is the first homer of the season and the first homer in 356 days since the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks (the second homer in the 2024 season) on April 21st, when he recorded a shoulder injury last year. The speed of the home run was 100.5 miles per hour (about 162 kilometers), the distance was about 118 degrees, and the launch angle was 24 degrees. San Francisco scored five runs in the first inning alone, including Lee Jung-hoo's cool home run.
His first home run hit at Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium, the home stadium of the Yankees, a traditional team representing Major League Baseball, is a place that symbolizes dreams for all baseball players.
This is the first time Lee Jung-hoo will play at Yankee Stadium. Lee Jung-hoo also uploaded a photo of his visit to Times Square in Manhattan, New York, on social media a day earlier.
The San Francisco club uploaded a video of Lee Jung-hoo's home run highlight on its official SNS account, marking it as 'Lee Jung-hoo's home run' in Korean, drawing enthusiastic responses from fans. The official major league website 'MLB.com ' also immediately replaced the main screen with a photo after Lee Jung-hoo's home run.
