New York is in shock. This is because a KBO star who visited this place for the first time took over the major league's 'Heart Department'.

Long balls have been hit every day during the past four consecutive games.The four hits in the three consecutive games were all long hits with home runs → double → home runs → home runs.

His first home run came in his second at-bat in the top of the fourth inning, trailing 0-3. Lee Jung-hoo, who took the batter's box after one full count, pulled an 85.5-mile slider that flew into the middle of left-hander Carlos Rodon's sixth pitch and crossed the right-center fence well.

The ball, which flew at a launch angle of 29 degrees and a batting speed of 103.2 miles, fell into the doorway, 406 feet away from the right-center outfield seats at Yankee Stadium. San Francisco's first hit on the day was Lee Jung-hoo's home run.




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

Leading Christian Cos opened with an infield hit to third baseman. After Eliot Ramos struck out, Willy Adames walked with one out and runners on first and second bases. At that time, Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake visited the mound. Lee Jung-hoo's at-bat a little later.

At ball count 1B2S, he pulled an 81.7 mile curve that flew into the middle of Rodon's fifth pitch and slightly over the left fence. The launch angle was 25 degrees, the batting speed was 94.5 miles, and the distance was 363 feet. Yankee Stadium became silent as if it were a rat, but a small number of fans cheering for Lee Jung-hoo and San Francisco went wild.

Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a fly to center field in his first at-bat after two outs in the top of the first inning. At ball count 2B2S, he lightly hit Yankees Rodon's 87-mile slider outside the fifth pitch, but was caught by center fielder Cody Bellinger at 305 feet.

In the fourth at-bat in the eighth inning, he walked with a full count and got on base. He got on base three times on the day.
