The first multi-shot, back-to-back hit in New York...

With this happening, I wonder how scary it would have been if I hadn't hurt my shoulder last year. This is the story of Lee Jung-hoo, who is shaking the entire United States.

San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo exploded. It silenced New York.




Lee Jung-hoo started as a third-center fielder and hit two decisive home runs to lead his team to a 5-4 victory in the final three consecutive away games against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 14th. With the victory, San Francisco ended its burdensome away trip to New York with a 2-1 winning series.

It was a round for Lee Jung-hoo. Lee Jung-hoo awakened his team members by hitting a solo shot in pursuit at the top of the fourth inning when his team was losing 0-3. The team's first hit was Lee Jung-hoo's home run. Lee Jung-hoo hit a home run to right-center against Yankees left ace Carlos Rodon with one out and no runners. I didn't miss the slider in the middle, I pulled it properly.

This wasn't the end of it. Lee Jung-hoo met Rodon again in the top of the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases. This time, he aimed for a high curve in the 1B2S situation. Slightly over the right fence. It was a golden home run that completely changed the course of the game.




a home run in consecutive at-bats. Since his Major League debut last year, Lee Jung-hoo's first consecutive at-bats home run and multiple home runs in one game have been hit. New York fans who filled Yankee Stadium with these two home runs were forced to fall silent.

Lee Jung-hoo also hit a three-run shot in the first game of the three consecutive Yankees games. Three home runs and one double in three consecutive games. It's not just about doing well. The Yankees are the best national team in the league. It is a game that attracts the attention of many fans. As an Asian player performed such a performance at Yankee Stadium, he immediately got a chance to become a national star.

Lee Jung-hoo hit .352 with three home runs, 11 RBIs and 16 runs, showing tremendous momentum in the beginning. His slugging percentage is a whopping 70.4 percent. He added a double in the Yankees' second game, ranking first in the category with eight doubles this season. The hits in the three consecutive Yankees games are all home runs, doubles, home runs, and long balls. It has an OPS of 1.130. He ranks second in the Major League and first in the National League.
