Lee Jung-hoo played as a leadoff center fielder for the first time this season in the first three consecutive away games against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on the 11th (Korea time) and hit a mid-wall triple in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning.
Against Colorado left-hander Carson Palmquist, he hit a 90.4-mile fastball that flew high on the sixth pitch in the ball count of 2B2S, hit a line drive that flew wide toward the interspace fence, and ran to third base to settle down leisurely. Standing triple.
The ball, which flew at a firing angle of 28 degrees and a batting speed of 99.2 miles, fell 415 feet (126.5 meters) from the deepest wall at Coors Field. Center fielder Brenton Doyle jumped and extended his glove, but he didn't close it. Statcast estimated that the ball may have crossed the fence in 22 of the 30 stadiums. In other words, it would have been a home run in most stadiums.
It is the first time in 50 days that Lee Jung-hoo added a triple since April 22 against the Milwaukee Brewers, and it is his third of the season.
Lee Jung-hoo then scored when Willy Adames hit a short line drive toward center field, quickly running home and headfirst sliding.
In the third inning, when the score was tied at 1-1, Lee Jung-hoo went out as the leadoff hitter and struck out. At ball count 1B2S, he struck out a rookie just looking at the cutter on the outside of Palmquist's fifth pitch.
