You can't roll it or float it, SF Lee Jung-hoo's one grounder three balls, all caught. No hits in four at-bats, eventually collapsing at 250



You can catch it even if you roll it to the ground, and you can catch it even if you float in the air. There was even no luck.

This is why the batting average of Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants fell below 250. Nothing was done in a word. Lee Jung-hoo bowed his head without a hit in four at-bats, and San Francisco also lost six consecutive sweeps. In fact, the postseason seems to be over.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the sixth center fielder in an interleague home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 31st (Korea time), but had no hits in four times at bat.




Lee Jung-hoo, who had no hits in three at-bats by hitting only three ground balls the previous day, was unable to escape from the slump in seven consecutive at-bats. During the three consecutive games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he has a batting average of only 10% (one hit in 10 times at bat). Due to this slump, the .25 batting average eventually collapsed. Lee Jung-hoo's batting average for the season decreased from 0.251 until the previous day to 0.248 (96 hits in 387 times at bat).

Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the batter's box in the bottom of the second inning when he was 0-0, hit a sinker (96.9 miles per hour) that was inserted into the low strike zone outside the third pitch in 2S against Pittsburgh right-hander Mike Burrows. It was an infield hit deep into the second base, and Pittsburgh second baseman Nick Gonzalez quickly chased the ball and threw it to first base to get out. It was a scene where he blocked a hit with an all-star defense.

Lee Jung-hoo then hit a hit in the bottom of the fourth inning, but was blocked by the opponent's defense. Lee Jung-hoo, who appeared at the batter's box with two outs and runners on the first and third bases with a 1-0 lead, again hit Burrows' third slider well in ball count 2S. It was a hit that could be a short hit to left field.




But Pittsburgh's good rain came out again. Left fielder Jack Swinsky quickly grasped the distance of the ball and ran forward, and then dived at the last minute to catch Lee Jung-hoo's ball. The on-site broadcaster also praised Swinsky's good defense. Lee Jung-hoo couldn't lift his head due to the second bad luck.

Lee Jung-hoo then hit a fly ball to center field against the changed pitcher Kamen Murzinski in the third at-bat after one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, and he also retired with a fly to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and a runner on first base.

Meanwhile, San Francisco gave up the winning run when Henry Davis grounded out with one out and runners on first and third in the top of the 10th inning when the score was 1-1. Trailing 1-2, San Francisco started its last attack in the bottom of the 10th inning with Lee Jung-hoo at second base. Casey Schmidt, the first batter, hit a left-handed hit. However, as he fell in front of left field, second baseman Lee Jung-hoo could not advance to third base.




Later, Mike Yastremski's sacrifice bunt created a chance for first and third bases with one out. However, Patrick Bailey and Elliott Ramos struck out in a row and failed to take advantage of their last chance. In the end, San Francisco, which lost 1-2, lost six consecutive games. In other words, the postseason is over the moon.
