Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants hit for two consecutive games with a lucky hit.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh batter and center fielder in the game against the Philadelphia Phillies in the '2025 Major League' held at Oracle Park in San Francisco on the 8th (Korea time). Lee Jung-hoo went 1 for 4 with an RBI. It was a 3-1 victory.

Lee Jung-hoo was somewhat lucky. On this day, Lee Jung-hoo failed to make any hard hits, including Barrel.




Recently, Major League Baseball is paying attention to the 'strong batting' rather than the hit itself. Even if it is a well-hit ball, it is out if it is in front of the fielder, and even if it is a weak ball, it is a hit if the course is good. The perception that hitters who often produce strong hits are good hitters eventually settled down.

The Major League defines a hard hit as a ball with a batting speed of 95 miles (about 153 kilometers) or higher. Among them, the barrel is a ball with a speed of 98 miles (about 158 kilometers) and a launch angle of 26 to 30 degrees. If the ball speed exceeds 98 miles, the angle of launch per mile (about 1.6 kilometers) will be widened by 1 degree.

On this day, Lee Jung-hoo struck out with the bases loaded with no outs at his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning. The next batter, Luis Matos, made an RBI with an infield grounder.




Lee Jung-hoo got on base with a shortstop infield hit in the bottom of the fourth inning with one out and no runner. His batting speed was only 108 kilometers. 3-Headed to a deep course. The shortstop managed to catch it, but he couldn't even try to throw to the first base.
