San Francisco's Lee Jung-hoo, who was playing an All-Star level in his second year in the Major League, seems to be disappearing from the perspective of local media while he is slowing down in May.

Lee Jung-hoo was excluded from the expected list of 'All-MLB Team' Lee Jung-hoo, who was included in the outfielder category 'Second Team' in the first All-MLB team selected by MLB.com on the 29th of last month (Korea time), was excluded from the second expectation.

MLB.com announced on the 27th that the first and second teams were divided by position in an article titled 'Expect All-MLB Team Ahead of June'. Aaron Judge (Yankees), Corbin Carroll (Arizona), Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego), Kyle Tucker (Cubs), Pete Crow-Armstrong (Cubs), and Juan Soto (Metz) were selected for the first team in the outfield category.




Lee Jung-hoo was selected as a second team outfielder along with Tatis Jr. and Soto in the first prediction. It should be said that the performance has dropped sharply in a month.

At the time of the first prediction, Lee Jung-hoo had a batting average of 0.324 (35 hits in 108 at-bats), three home runs, 16 RBIs, 22 runs, 11 walks, 17 strikeouts, 3 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.383, a slugging percentage of 0.546, an OPS of 0.929, 16 long hits, and 59 hits. In the NL, he ranks fifth in the batting average, tied for fifth in hits, tied for sixth in runs, 13th in on-base percentage, 10th in slugging percentage, 7th in OPS, tied for fifth in slugging, and tied for eighth in Ruta. It was in the position of 'Top 10' in the attack vs.

However, as of the 27th, Lee Jung-hoo's batting average has fallen to 0.285 (59 hits in 207 at-bats), and he has six home runs, 31 RBIs, 32 runs and an OPS of 0.789. In the NL, the record included in the Top 10 is one of the hits category, which is tied for sixth place. It fell more than 10 places in most categories, including 16th in batting average, 20th in scoring, 18th in RBIs and 31st in OPS.




Lee Jung-hoo only posted a batting average of 0.242 (22 hits in 91 at-bats), three homers, 13 RBIs, nine runs, three walks, 10 strikeouts and an OPS of 0.645 in 23 games in May. Local media reports on Lee Jung-hoo are bound to naturally decrease.

The second expectation is also based on experts' combined evaluation of the performance so far and expectations in the future, but it is no wonder that Lee Jung-hoo is missing.

However, Lee Jung-hoo hit two hits in four at-bats in an away game against the Detroit Tigers on the same day, and had a hit streak of seven consecutive games. He batted 0.346 (9 hits in 26 at-bats), had two RBIs, two runs scored, walked three, struck out four, and posted an OPS of 0.837 during the period. The sense of hitting is on the rise.




Contact heating, which is a strength, is coming to life. In the top of the first inning, Lee Jung-hoo pushed Detroit right-hander Cader Montero's second pitch 93.1 miles outside of the line drive at 92.1 miles per hour with one out, and in the top of the sixth inning, one out, the left-hander Tyler Holton pulled an 81-mile sweeper that fell to the low course outside the second pitch, leading to a hit in the middle of the right. Both stood out for accurate hitting.

The local broadcaster was not a strike, but the technique of hitting the ball with the correct combination of hands and eyes came out. Lee Jung-hoo is not a player who plays table tennis with each other. He explained, "I just hit the ball well and hit it intensively, and I'm not greedy to do a lot of things."

The All-MLB team was established in 2019 and is selected by dividing it into a first team and a second team by adding up the fan and expert votes at a rate of 50%. The first team is simply made up of the best players in each position, and then the next level of players are gathered and named the second team.
