Lee Jung-hoo started as the second center fielder in the final game of the three consecutive home games against the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park on the 5th (Korea time) and hit a right-handed hit in his first at-bat.
Against San Diego right-hander Nick Pivetta, he hit a 78.2-mile curve that dropped low into the middle of the third pitch on the ball count 1B1S for a double that fell in front of right field. The slightly missed ball flew at a launch angle of 25 degrees and a batting speed of 76.5 miles, falling at a distance of 254 feet.
At that time, while San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. caught the ball and spilled it to the side, Lee Jung-hoo ran to the second base and was safe. One hit and one error.
However, he failed to reach home due to a failed follow-up hit. Lee Jung-hoo went out as the second batter against San Diego the day before, but his batting average fell to 0.269 due to his lackluster performance in five at-bats.
