No matter how deep my batting slump is, there is always an end to it. San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin believes Lee Jung-hoo will surely escape from a deep batting slump. Despite his recent hitless streak of 15 consecutive at-bats and a severe slump in his batting average of 0.161 in June, he placed himself at the center of the team's batting average.
Lee Jung-hoo was deployed as the fifth center fielder in the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) home game against the Miami Marlins at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the morning of the 25th (Korea time). It is the fifth deployment in two consecutive games following the Boston Red Sox game (no hits in four at-bats) on the 23rd.

This is the meaning of Melvin's persistence and faith in Lee Jung-hoo in the starting lineup. In terms of his recent pace, Lee will have to stay on the bench rather than the starting lineup. Lee Jung-hoo, who had maintained a batting average of around 300 until early May since the opening, had no hits in four at-bats against the Minnesota Twins on May 10, and his batting average fell below 300.
The hitting slump, which began at this time, has continued for more than a month and a half. The batting average continued to decline, with a monthly batting average of only 0.231 (25 hits in 108 at-bats) in May. Now, even 25 percent is at stake. Currently, Lee Jung-hoo has a batting average of only 0.252 (72 hits in 286 at-bats). The OPS also retreated to 0.725.
Recently, the slump has become more severe. From the first at-bat in the first inning against the Cleveland Guardians on the 19th to the last fourth at-bat against Boston on the 23rd, he has no hits in 15 consecutive times. As a result, the monthly batting average in June is only 0.161 in 18 games. It can be seen as the worst slump.
The worst slump can be interpreted as a point of rebound in a different sense. Just in time, Miami is a team where Lee Jung-hoo showed a strong batting average of 0.364 in six games. deserve confidence. Also, Miami starter Carl Quantryl is no stranger. He has one hit in three at-bats this year. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Jung-hoo will be able to set up an opportunity to escape the slump with the trust of coach Melvin.
