'3 Home Run-7 RBI-5 points'

This is a three-day performance by San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo at Yankee Stadium, which he visited for the first time in his life. The three consecutive games between San Francisco and the New York Yankees from the 12th to the 14th (Korea time) were 'Beautiful Series'.

That's what San Francisco coach Bob Melvin called it.




Coach Melvin said in an interview with local media after winning 5-4 on the 14th, the last day of the three consecutive games, thanks to Lee Jung-hoo's pursuit solo shot and a come-from-behind three-pointer. It's amazing. "Many pitchers have never faced him, and it can be said that the bat-to-ball skills have been powerful." I think I can target anyone who is a pitcher. Look at the ball accurately and hit it with a straight hit to the center of the bat. That's why these results came out" he evaluated.

He praised Lee Jung-hoo's contact heating.

His first home run came in his second at-bat in the top of the fourth inning, trailing 0-3. Against the Yankees' proud left-hander Carlos Rodon, he pulled an 85.5-mile slider that flew into the middle of the sixth pitch from the full count and crossed the right-center fence well.

The ball, which flew at a speed of 103.2 miles, fell into the doorway 406 feet away from the right-center field seats at Yankee Stadium. Statcast estimated that the hit would have been a home run in 29 stadiums. It is interesting to note that it does not cross the fence at Oracle Park, which is the home of San Francisco.

After the game, Lee Jung-hoo said, "Rodon has a good ball, so I decided not to pull all the balls when I set up a game plan today. He tried to hit it in the center field. The results were good."

Then, in the next at-bat, he fired a come-from-behind home run.




With one out and runners on the first and second bases, he pulled an 81.7 mile curve that flew into the middle of Rodon's fifth pitch and slightly over the right fence. The launch angle was 25 degrees, the batting speed was 94.5 miles, and the distance was 363 feet. Lee Jung-hoo is the first left-handed hitter to hit two home runs in a game against Rodon.

After Casey Schmidt, who doubled in the top of the seventh inning, homered due to an error by opposing first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to run 5-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Tyler Rogers allowed a solo home run to Jazz Chisom Jr., but Ryan Walker lightly put three batters to bed in the bottom of the ninth inning and gradually kept the win.

Lee Jung-hoo said, `The baseball I'm playing now is to repay the Giants. Throughout my rehabilitation, the club helped me so much and supported me in many ways. He led me to the stadium. During offseason rehabilitation, the club was great. All of this is to repay the club."

After Lee Jung-hoo had surgery for a shoulder injury in May last year, the San Francisco club did not spare any support from both sides. In particular, when Lee Jung-hoo returned home after the season, trainers were dispatched to Korea to help rehabilitate with a team-level management system. It seems that he thanked the club in this section.

San Francisco starter Logan Webb, who became the winning pitcher thanks to Lee Jung-hoo's come-from-behind home run, said "He's not afraid of the spotlight. I'm so glad to see him keep improving and getting better. I think there's more to show," he said, expressing anticipation. Webb struggled with five hits, four walks and three runs in five innings, but won his second win of the season.

Yankees catcher JC Escara said, `He was very good at spinning the bat. I didn't throw a curveball to him today, but I wanted to induce him to swing (throw a curveball) and strike out (from the sixth inning) at the Tooth Strike"When he gave up a come-from-behind three-run run in the sixth inning, he admitted that he demanded a curveball as a decisive ball." Rodon's curve ball fell to a high course in the middle and was properly caught by Lee Jung-hoo's bat. Rodon shook his head with a deep regret when the ball hit.

As a result, Lee Jung-hoo marked a batting average of 0.352 (19 hits in 54 times at bat), three home runs, 11 RBIs, 16 runs, seven walks, eight strikeouts, an on-base percentage of 0.426, a slugging percentage of 0.704, OPS 1.130, 12 long hits, and 38 hits in 14 games of the season. Coincidentally, the two leagues are ranked second in slugging percentage and OPS after Yankees slugger Aaron Judge (0.750 and OPS 1.228). Both homers flew over Judge's head on the day.

In the NL, both Jangtang-yul and OPS are ranked first, ranking second in batting average, seventh in on-base percentage, third in scoring, tied for 15th in RBIs, and tied for seventh in hits. Lee Jung-hoo is likely to be Lee Joo-ju's player and even April's NL player.
