Korean hitters in the Major League were sluggish at the same time as if they had promised. Right now, the eyes of concern are drawn. However, from a large perspective, it is not a particular issue. That's how baseball is supposed to be. You can't do well every day. It's just a common 'wrong day' that can come out several times in a season.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo (27) and Los Angeles Dodgers infielder and outfielder Kim Hye-sung (26) started their respective home games on the morning of the 4th (Korea time), but failed to record a hit.




Lee Jung-hoo started in center field twice in a home game against the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, but had no hits in five times at bat. As a result, Lee Jung-hoo's batting average fell from the previous 275 to 0.269 (63 hits in 234) and collapsed in the 270s. The damage of the fourth hitless game in five at-bats this season is quite large.

On this day, Lee Jung-hoo came out as the second batter. Recently, coach Bob Melvin has been changing Lee Jung-hoo's batting order from time to time. It has changed four times in the last 10 days. From No. 3 to No. 4, then back to No. 3, and this time he was placed in the batting order of No. 2.

The measure was taken because of Lee Jung-hoo's poor batting sense, and at the same time, it is part of a measure to revive San Francisco's entire lethargic offense. Lee Jung-hoo is not the only one who is currently sluggish. The entire San Francisco lineup is silent. San Francisco's team batting average is 0.231, ranking 13th out of 15 teams in the National League. He ranks 25th overall in the Major League.




Lee Jung-hoo is also unable to avoid the aftermath of the team's sluggish lineup. He was the main player of the team's offense at the beginning of the season, but he is falling vertically with his teammates. In the last seven games, Lee Jung-hoo has a batting average of only 0.148 (4 hits in 27 at-bats).

There must have been a slump at the beginning of the season for sure. However, Lee Jung-hoo is not alone in this matter.

Lee Jung-hoo rarely found the batting rhythm again on this day. In his first at-bat after one out in the bottom of the first inning, San Diego right-hander Ryan Bergert hit a 95.6-mile fastball that flew to the outside high course on the third pitch, but it was only a fly ball to left field. There was a lack of impact.




Then, in his second at-bat after one out in the third inning, he also grounded out to first base against Bergert. It was relatively good, but the course was not good. He headed straight to the first baseman.

Lee Jung-hoo, who had consecutive fly balls to center field in the fifth and seventh innings, hit a grounder to shortstop in the last at-bat with two outs and a third base in the bottom of the 10th inning of overtime. In the end, San Francisco lost 2-3 from behind.

Kim Hye-sung also failed to continue his multi-hit feeling the previous day.

Kim Hye-sung, who started the 9th second base at home against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, failed to target Mets right-hander Tyler Megill. Megill is originally a pitcher who has strength in left-handed hitting. Kim Hye-sung swung the bat confidently, but struck out for the second time in a row.

Kim Hye-sung, who came to the first batter's box after one out in the bottom of the second inning with his team leading 4-1, was completely deceived by a slider (85 miles per hour) falling for the fifth time in the ball count 1B2S. The drop fell quite well. It was a breaking ball that was easy for batters to fall for.

Kim Hye-sung kept getting hit by this falling slider. He came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning, which was overturned 4-5, and turned the bat for the fourth slider (83.2 miles) in 1B2S, but only split the air. Shohei Ohtani also could hardly hit Megill's slider.

Kim Hye-sung, who recorded two consecutive strikeouts, was replaced by pinch hitter Tommy Edman at the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and a runner on first base. Manager Dave Roberts put in a pinch hitter because the opposing pitcher was left-handed Brandon Waddell. Edman hit the first pitch and grounded out in front of the pitcher.

Kim's batting average dropped slightly to 0.404 (21 hits in 52 times at bat). The OPS also fell to 0.994. Still, it's still a high batting average. The Dodgers won the game 6-5, avenging the previous day's defeat.
