The San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo hit the `accident' at Yankee Stadium, which is called the `Mecca" of the Major League, is also significant to the San Francisco club.

Lee Jung-hoo scored four RBIs with two home runs in the last game of three consecutive away games against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on the 14th (Korea time), leading to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory. a 2-1 series record. It is the first time San Francisco has played a winning series at Yankee Stadium since the interleague was introduced in 1997.

Lee Jung-hoo defended the chase by hitting a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning, trailing 0-3, and pulled Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon's high-falling curve in the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, and hit a come-from-behind shot slightly over the right fence to turn the tide 4-3.




It was a big disappointment for Rodon, who was released as an FA from San Francisco three years ago and signed a six-year, $162 million FA contract to wear a Yankees uniform, but it was a mistake to look down on Lee Jung-hoo's sharp bat. Lee Jung-hoo is said to be the first left-handed batter to hit two home runs in a game against Rodon.

It was also confirmed that Lee Jung-hoo was the first San Francisco player to hit a multi-homer game against the Yankees. Lee Jung-hoo hit three home runs, seven RBIs and five runs in this series. In the first game, he scored three points in the first final, and he fired a chase and a come-from-behind shot with consecutive at-bats. You can say that you have clearly imprinted your existence throughout the United States.

San Francisco coach Bob Melvin said, `Here at Yankee Stadium was a series completely dedicated to the political climate. That's amazing.," he exclaimed with admiration.

However, the second home run has become a hot topic in the country. It's because of the distance.

The San Francisco Chronicle, a leading local media outlet, said 'Yankee Stadium's right fence distance is short, which is advantageous for left-handed hitters, but the probability of Lee Jung-hoo loading his power against a tricky left-handed pitcher was not high. It is no exaggeration to say that Lee Jung-hoo is a fan of New York. I didn't hit it far against Rodon, but it's a nuance that the fence distance was short.

The distance from the home based on the right foul pole of Yankee Stadium, where Lee Jung-hoo hit a come-from-behind home run, is 314 feet, which is relatively short compared to other stadiums. Moreover, it is considered an easy stadium for left-handed hitters to hit home runs because it is connected in a straight line to the center fence.




Statcast introduced the home run's distance to 363 feet (110.6 meters), and believed that it was a home run in eight of the 30 stadiums, including Yankee Stadium, but that it would not have been able to cross the fence in 22 other stadiums. In addition, the home run's probability of hitting is only 0.150, he said.

In response, Lee Jung-hoo responded by saying "The results speak on half of me" through an interpreter. In other words, a home run means a home run, and don't attach the characteristics of the baseball field.

Rodon, who actually gave up a home run, looked surprised to see if he had hit the ball and checked whether he had a home run or not.

Of course, San Francisco's home stadium, Oracle Park, which is famous for its wide range in the Major League, is likely to have become an ordinary fly. Earlier, Lee Jung-hoo's solo home run in the fourth inning reached 406 feet (9123.7m), but Statcast estimated that he would not have crossed the fence at Oracle Park.
