With San Francisco's home stadium overflowing with cheers of "Jeong~Hoo~Lee~," there are predictions that he will be selected as an All-Star this summer.

MLB.com ranked Lee Jung-hoo as the fifth in an article titled `6 hitters who are off to a hot start and are likely to burn throughout the 2025 season.'

Reporter Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports, who wrote the article, predicted that Lee Jung-hoo will be selected as an All-Star this season.




Reporter Dorsey introduced 'After missing most of the season in 2024 due to injury, he's playing much better than last year in early 2025 than he did last year. 'He hit 12 hits, tied for first in the team, and hit six doubles, tied for first in the entire major league.'

When he came to the U.S. after succeeding in Korea, Lee Jung-hoo came with skills that he could certainly work in the big leagues. If it weren't for the shoulder-spin rupture that blew most of last season, we would have already seen techniques to hit him exactly in the ball, and predicted that if Lee Jung-hoo continues his double machine appearance, we are witnessing a certain All-Star this time.

In other words, Lee Jung-hoo can be proudly selected as an All-Star in the National League. This year's All-Star Game will be held on July 16 at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia. It is home to the Atlanta Braves.

Lee Jung-hoo was hitless in four at-bats at home against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park on the 9th, stopping his hit streak in eight consecutive games, but he still showed a sharp hit. In particular, he hit a line drive with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the third inning when he was trailing 0-1, but he flew in front of the second baseman and left a regret. Left-hander Nick Rodolo's pull of a fastball in the middle of the second 92.7 miles flew in a 82.4 mile straight line and was caught by second baseman Gavin Lux.

In addition, it was not recorded as a hit because it was recognized as the opponent's defensive error even though he hit a training pitch and lived at first base in the sixth inning when the one-run deficit continued. Lee Jung-hoo pulled Rodolo's 82.2-mile curve and connected it with a 99.6-mile ground ball. As soon as second baseman Lux caught the bound ball, the ball hit the glove and flowed back, making Lee Jung-hoo safe at first base. It was a strong hit that was safe to give a hit, but the official record was a fielding error at second base.

Lee Jung-hoo had a season batting average of 0.300 (12 hits in 40 at-bats), three RBIs, 10 runs, three walks, six strikeouts, three steals, and an OPS of 0.799. The six doubles are tied for first place with the Tampa Bay Rays Jonathan Aranda and Chicago Cubs Kyle Tucker. He is tied for seventh in the NL in scoring, tied for 19th in hits, and tied for 24th in batting average. Of course, he is the No. 1 scorer, hit, and stealer in the team. Lee Jung-hoo cannot be left out if he picks an All-Star among San Francisco players now.

Lee Jung-hoo emerged as the face of the team early in the season, playing a key role in offense and defense. San Francisco introduced its new uniform on the same day, and Lee Jung-hoo appeared as the main model in the previous promotional material.

Regarding the new uniform, MLB.com explained that `The Giants today unveil a remix look inspired by San Francisco's rich music history, creating a new atmosphere with the City Connect uniform' with a black top with white wavy patterns, oranges, and violet decorating the sleeves, chest scripts, and hat brim.'

According to the San Francisco club, the uniform has a glove patch on its sleeve that embodies San Francisco's social movement, creativity and rebellious spirit, inspired by performance posters from the 1960s. In addition, the chest, where the team name Giants was written, was similarly influenced by psychedelic posters and made to flow like the rhythm and energy of the city.

San Francisco has decided to wear the uniform to Tuesday's games and City Connect performances (country singer Nate Smith on June 22 and rapper Surwitti on August 17) every week local time.
