San Francisco Giants No. 3 hitter Lee Jung-hoo (left) achieved his ninth multi-hit game of the season. He also had a hit in the sixth inning following the first inning against Milwaukee on the 24th. He was the first in the team to reach the 30-hit mark.

What's useless is Lee Jung-hoo's batting average.

Oracle Park, San Francisco's home stadium, shook with shouts of 'JungHooo LEE' again. This is because Lee Jung-hoo (27), a key hitter of the San Francisco Giants, who seemed to be losing his batting sense for a while, helped his team win with three hits.

Thanks to his third triple hit game of the season, Lee Jung-hoo re-entered the National League batting top five again. Lee Jung-hoo's concern about the feeling of hitting was unfavorable.




Lee Jung-hoo started the home game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the morning of the 24th (Korea time) and played a key role in his team's 4-2 victory by scoring three hits and one point from four times at bat. San Francisco won its 15th game (nine losses) and maintained its third place in the National League West.

On this day, Lee Jung-hoo made a hit from his first at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the first inning, and succeeded in controlling the hitting sense that had seemed to be falling slightly recently.

Lee Jung-hoo, who even caused syndrome at the beginning of the season, has been somewhat sluggish recently. As the 'Hell's 17 Series' neared its end, its physical strength declined, and opposing pitchers also began to deal with Lee Jung-hoo, who is currently the scariest hitter in San Francisco.




As a result, his batting average in the last five games was only .20 (four hits in 20 at-bats) until the game against Milwaukee on the previous day. There were even two hitless games. In the game against Milwaukee on the 23rd, he had no hit in four at-bats for one walk. Therefore, the batting average, which soared to 0.361 by hitting two hits in three at-bats against the Los Angeles Angels on the 19th, fell to 0.315. Carefully, concerns about the collapse of the batting average of 300,000 began to sprout.

However, Lee Jung-hoo started the hit again after six at-bats.

Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the batter's box after two outs in the bottom of the first inning, watched both the first and second strikes against Milwaukee right-hander Freddie Peralta. It was to check the movement of the four-seam fastball and change-up. Peralta then threw a 93.9 mph (about 151 km) four-seam on the same course as the first pitch on the third pitch.




Lee responded properly this time. He relaxed and pushed slightly to make a left-handed hit. The batting speed was 90.1 miles (145 kilometers), which was not fast. This is the result of making a hit with ease. However, he failed to score due to a failed follow-up.

As a result, Lee Jung-hoo hit again in six at-bats after a triple in the bottom of the seventh inning against Milwaukee on the 22nd, giving strength to maintain a batting average of 300. Lee Jung-hoo, who had a hit from his first at-bat, was out with a fly ball to the third base in his second at-bat, which came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning.

However, he succeeded in targeting Peralta again in the bottom of the sixth inning. Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the batter's box after leadoff hitter Willy Adames hit a heavy hit, hit Peralta's first pitch changeup (88.5 miles) to lead to a right-handed hit. This time, he hit a strong ball aiming for the first pitch properly. It was a hard hit with a batting speed of 102.5 miles (about 165 kilometers).

As a result, Lee Jung-hoo was the first in the team to reach the 30-hit mark, achieving his ninth multi-hit game of the season in five games since the game against the Los Angeles Angels (2 for 3) on the 19th.
