Lee Jung-hoo's strength is the accurate hitting and pioneering plan, and we can look into its true value in batting average and strikeout rate. As of the 25th (Korea time), he ranks 38th out of 166 players with a batting average of 0.281 and a strikeout rate of 12.5% is 17th. You can refer to the league average batting average of 0.244 and the average strikeout rate of 21.9%. Since the OPS+ is 127, it can be seen that the OPS exceeds the league average by 27%.
Another strength of Lee Jung-hoo is mobility. He is showing off his outstanding skills in base learning and defense with his fast feet. However, the power of fast feet is also revealed in the fact that he hits a ground ball and is not easily hit by a double play.
As of this day, a total of 368 hitters have hit a double play. There are 213 batters who have not hit any, of which only 17 including Lee Jung-hoo have filled the regular at-bats. If they are listed in the order of the number of at-bats, Lee Jung-hoo is the third. Cleveland Guardians Stephen Kwan ranks first with 223 at-bats, Chicago Cubs Pete Crowe-Armstrong ranks second with 220 at-bats, and Lee Jung-hoo ranks third with 216 at-bats.
They can be considered as the batter 'Best 3' who didn't hit a double play this season.
Lee Jung-hoo hit 64 double plays in 3,947 at-bats during his KBO career. The ratio compared to at-bats was 1.62%. In 2023, just before entering the Major League, there was only one double play at 387 at-bats, and in 2022, when it was a career high, it recorded 10 double plays at 627 at-bats, 1.59%. This is because he is a left-handed batter and has fast feet, and he hit more fly balls than ground balls.
