Was the wall of Major League Baseball this high? Is that all for Lee Jung-hoo's skill

As the pattern of poor batting is prolonged, bad data is increasing. Through this, the truth that we don't want to believe is increasingly being outlined. It is highly likely that Lee Jung-hoo (27) of the San Francisco Giants is not in a temporary slump. Maybe the real level of Lee Jung-hoo is what he's showing now. This is because it is true that as data accumulates, it converges to the average.

Lee Jung-hoo didn't get a hit again. He has been hitless in the last four consecutive games, and this slump has already been going on for two months.

Lee Jung-hoo shares a high-five with Flores after hitting a two-run homer off Arizona bullpen pitcher Line Nelson in the bottom of the seventh inning at home against Arizona on May 15. Lee Jung-hoo hit a home run for two consecutive days with this home run.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the sixth center fielder in an away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on the morning of the 1st (Korea time). San Francisco lost three consecutive Interleague away games against the Chicago White Sox, losing one win in a row, falling to third place after the San Diego Padres in the National League West. Before this game, San Francisco was 7.5 games behind the world's leading Los Angeles Dodgers.

Therefore, for San Francisco, it was imperative to escape the losing streak to narrow the gap. Coach Bob Melvin made up the lineup of Christian Kos (3rd base), Rafael Devers (DH), Eliot Ramos (left fielder), Dominic Smith (first baseman), Willie Adames (striker), Lee Jung-hoo (middle fielder), Tyler Fitzgerald (second baseman), Patrick Bailey (catcher) and Daniel Johnson (second baseman). Numbers 1 through 5 are the same as against the Chicago White Sox on the 29th. There has been a change since number 6.

However, these changes did not work as a result. San Francisco lost 2-4, scoring just two runs on seven scattered hits.




In particular, Lee Jung-hoo, who came out as the sixth batter as he did the previous day, was hitless in four at-bats. He even hit another double play following the game against the White Sox the day before. Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the plate for the first time in the top of the second inning with one out and a runner on the first base, hit the fourth pitch of the opponent's starter Nelson, but the ball went straight to the first baseman. After catching the ball, the opposing first baseman Smith lightly stepped on the base of the first base, out Lee Jung-hoo, and threw it to second base to complete the double play. In other words, Lee Jung-hoo wasted the early opportunity.

Since then, Lee Jung-hoo has retired in vain with three fly balls (a fly ball to left field in the top of the fifth inning, a fly ball to center field in the top of the seventh inning, and a fly ball to center field in the top of the ninth inning). If Lee Jung-hoo had a hit, there would have been an opportunity for a reversal, but Lee Jung-hoo did not make a helpful hit to the team at all.

In the end, Lee Jung-hoo went 0 for 14 in the last four games. His monthly batting average in June was only 0.148 (12 hits in 84 times at bat), and his batting average for this season fell to 0.240 (74 hits in 308 times at bat). Now, if you don't get a hit in the next game, even the 240-point line will collapse.

Lee Jung-hoo's slump is no longer 'temporary slump'. The batting average that came out when he played more than 300 at-bats should be regarded as the average record of the batter. This is common sense that applies not only to the Major League but also to the KBO League.

In the end, it is reasonable to think that the current batting average of 240 is a reflection of Lee Jung-hoo's average skills rather than a result of a slump. Rather, it means that the batting average in the 300s at the beginning of the season is an abnormal result of a temporary rebound at the beginning of the season.

Even among local fans in the U.S., distrust of Lee Jung-hoo is growing. Fans who remember the intense performance they showed until April understood that it was a "slump-induced slump" until May, when they first began to fall into a slump. However, as the slump continues throughout the month of June, the "post-diagnosis bubble theory" is spreading.

Sports media The Athletic released on June 30 'The Giants Mailbag: What Happened to San Francisco's Attack?This phenomenon was actually seen in the section '. One reader named 'Davis"Do you think Willie Adames and Lee Jung-hoo will not be able to get a proper place on the roster and hold this team back for a long time? Someone has to deal with the real problems of the Giants' future" expressed his opinion. It is an opinion that Lee Jung-hoo is the main cause of the team's sluggishness. The opinion of one reader cannot be ignored. If Lee Jung-hoo fails to show a rebound, the value of existence itself may be denied.
