Lee Jung-hoo, who seems to be able to do anything, whether he is the batting king or GG, is the first in the SF sign in offense and defense, and the team is also the first in the team

Whether it's batting king or gold glove, I think I'll bring a title at the end of the season. No one knew that he would cheer up the team's atmosphere so hot in batting and defense after returning from shoulder rehabilitation for nearly a year.
Lee Jung-hoo hit a double again in the final game of the three consecutive home games against the Seattle Mariners at Oracle Park on the 7th (Korea time), hitting two hits and one run from four times at bat.
As a result, Lee Jung-hoo has been on base for eight consecutive games since the opening game against the Cincinnati Reds on the 28th of last month, and continued his hit streak for seven consecutive games since the game against Cincinnati on the 30th.
In eight games of the season, he marked a batting average of 0.344 (11 hits in 32 at-bats), three RBIs, 10 runs, three walks, six strikeouts, three steals, a on-base percentage of 0.400, a slugging percentage of 0.531 and an OPS of 0.931. In particular, the two leagues are ranked No. 1 with six doubles. There are more doubles than one-base hits (five).
In the NL, he tied for third in scoring, tied for seventh in stolen bases, and seventh in batting average among 96 batters who exceeded the prescribed number of at-bats. Of course, the team ranks first in both batting average, scoring and stealing. He is a third hitter like a leadoff. This is the very image of Lee Jung-hoo, who head coach Bob Melvin said he expected at the opening of spring training.

The ball, which was slightly missed and flew at a launch angle of 12 degrees and a batting speed of 70.5 miles, fell inside the left foul line and became a double flowing to the left of left fielder Randy Arozarena. However, Matt Chapman struck out and couldn't advance further.
He added a hit in the fourth inning, trailing 0-2, completing the multi-hit game in two at-bats. Lee Jung-hoo, who left the runner at first base due to a heavy hit by the leadoff Willy Adames, hit a left-handed hit by pushing a fastball in the middle of the right's fourth pitch in the ball count 1B2S, and connected the chance to the first and second bases with no outs. It was a hit that flew in a similar trajectory to the first at-bat double.
San Francisco followed one run with Elliott Ramos' right-handed hit in the first and second bases with one out, and Mike Yastremski hit a three-run home run in left-center to turn the tide 4-2. Lee Jung-hoo and Ramos, who first stepped home, welcomed Yastremski with a forearm ceremony.
San Francisco's closing Camilo Doval allowed a 4-4 tie in the top of the ninth inning, but won 5-4 thanks to Wilmer Flores' walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth inning, winning seven consecutive games.

Now that we've checked 'Healthy'Lee Jung-hoo, it's time for him to maintain his strength without injury with his teammates.
A few days ago, Lee Jung-hoo also showed his true value in defense. In the top of the seventh inning with two outs and a full base crisis with 8-8 against Seattle at the same place on the 5th, he handled the opponent's Cal Raleigh's big fly to the right with accurate judgment and a tight catch, drawing applause from the 40,000 won audience. The ball, which flew at a launch angle of 24 degrees and a batting speed of 103.9 miles, was about to fall 391 feet through intense sunlight, but it was stuck in Lee Jung-hoo's glove.
In the game, San Francisco won 10-9 thanks to Willy Adames' timely hit to end the game in the bottom of the 11th inning, continuing its five-game winning streak. It goes without saying that Lee Jung-hoo's good defense was the foundation. San Francisco seems to recognize Lee Jung-hoo as a sign.
