San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo was hitless again. Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh batter and center fielder in a home game against the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 20th (Korea time). This is Lee Jung-hoo's first time playing in the seventh batting order. Lee Jung-hoo has been placed mainly in the top batting order and center batting order, including No. 3 or No. 1 throughout this season.
However, he was placed in the 6th batting order for the first time since his Major League debut in the game on the 19th, a day before, and the batting order went down to 7 on that day. In fact, considering Lee Jung-hoo's batting style, fast feet, and running sense, the most suitable batting order in the Major League is 1 to 3. However, Lee Jung-hoo was placed at No. 6 and No. 7 because he has not been able to play his role in the top batting order.

On this day, even the well-hit balls were caught by opposing defenders, but Lee Jung-hoo was not very good in June. In the previous day's game, when he was the first No. 6 hitter since his debut, he was silent with no hits in four at-bats against Cleveland. Lee Jung-hoo's monthly batting average in June was only 185. (10 hits in 54 times at bat). The season's batting average also remained in the .300 range until early May, but is now down to .259.

This long-term drop in batting average is somewhat unfamiliar to Lee Jung-hoo, who is in his second year after entering the Major League. With the San Francisco team as a whole rarely hitting, even key batter Lee Jung-hoo is suffering from a slump. Only when Lee Jung-hoo survives can San Francisco gain momentum.
