Even the pride of his first double play of the 337 at-bats season disappeared, and Lee Jung-hoo's three consecutive hitless games are no longer average in the batting average OPS league

Lee Jung-hoo played as the seventh center fielder in an away game against the Chicago White Sox at Late Field on the 30th (Korea time) and had no hits and one out in three at-bats. San Francisco fell to its knees 2-5.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had no hits in three consecutive games, had a batting average of 0.243 (74 hits in 304 times at bat) and an OPS of 0.713, respectively. He ranks 115th in batting average and 113th in OPS among 158 hitters who have met the regular at-bats in both leagues.
In particular, for the first time this season, all Major League hitters fell below the batting average (0.245) and OPS (0.715). In June, the sense of hitting is getting worse. He has a batting average of 0.150 (9 hits in 108 at-bats) in June and 0.063 (2 hits in 32 at-bats) in the last 10 games,
The San Francisco club, which invested $113 million for six years, has no choice but to deepen its concerns. In the Major League, the poor performance of the player 'Ko Yeon-bong' is not unfamiliar, but it is difficult to find an example of it when he suddenly dropped after a month of hard hitting at the beginning of the season. The batting average, which was 0.319 until April, fell below .25 in two months.

In particular, Lee Jung-hoo hit an infield fly in a golden chase chance in the second half of the game to pour cold water on the flow. Of course, Lee Jung-hoo was not the only one who suffered a frustrating blow on the day, but it was the most decisive.
Lee Jung-hoo, who entered his first at-bat in the top of the second inning with no outs and no outs, pulled a fastball in the middle of the fourth pitch of Jonathan Cannon, the right-handed starter of the White Sox, but it was a double play that led to 4-6-3 as it flowed in front of second baseman Lenin Sosa. It was a hard hit with a batting speed of 95.8 miles, but Lee Jung-hoo's double play of the White Sox infield was 'perfect' to the point that it was not even a close game at first base.

He was very lethargic with the bases loaded with one out in the fifth inning when his team led 2-1. San Francisco led by one point in the fifth inning with back-to-back walks by Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores and a bases-loaded walk by Mike Yastremski. However, Lee Jung-hoo, who then came to the batter's box, hit a shortstop fly while trying to hit right-hander Jordan Leeser's 86.8-mile slider that fell low on the second pitch. He touched a ball close to one bound.
In the eighth inning, trailing 2-5, he went out as a leadoff hitter and got on base after being hit by left-hander Tyler Gilbert's ball to advance to third base, but failed to score.
San Francisco, which finished its three consecutive away games against the AL Central's weakest White Sox with a 1-2 losing series, fell back to third place in the NL West with 45 wins and 39 losses. San Francisco will play a four-game road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks starting July 1.
