Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh center fielder again in an interleague away game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, USA, and exploded a double in his fourth at-bat in the top of the ninth inning. He has had six consecutive hits in the last six games. In addition, he recorded more than a double in six consecutive games.
San Francisco coach Bob Melvin has finally discovered 'Post-optimization batting order' Lee Jung-hoo has been placed as the seventh batter in six consecutive games since the game against the New York Mets on the 2nd.
This means that Lee Jung-hoo is definitely fixed to the 7th position. There is only one reason. This is because he has the most high-sensitivity batting average in the seventh batting order this season. He recently hit in all five games as the seventh batter.

Lee Jung-hoo stepped down as a mistake in all three previous at-bats (the top of the second inning, the top of the fourth inning, and the top of the seventh inning). However, he hit a delightful double on the right-field line in his fourth at-bat after one out in the top of the ninth inning when the score was 2-2.
Lee Jung-hoo, who faced Dennis Santana, the Pittsburgh must-win bullpen, technically hit a changeup (87.8 miles) that fell from the middle of the fifth pitch in the ball count 2B2S. As soon as he hit to match the timing, he let go of his left hand and continued his swing with his right arm to the end. In the end, the ball split between the first and second bases and flowed deep into the right outfield. Lee Jung-hoo leisurely stepped on second base and provided a chance to turn the tables.
San Francisco did not miss the chance created by Lee Jung-hoo. Melvin put pinch-hitter Dominic Smith in the Christian Koss at-bat. Smith also sent home Lee Jung-hoo with a timely double to the right against Santana. Lee Jung-hoo scored and San Francisco succeeded in turning the game around 3-2.
San Francisco, which gained momentum, made it 4-2 with Patrick Bailey's timely hit to the right with one out and second base, and won the game in the bottom of the ninth inning by blocking Pittsburgh's attack without losing a point.
Lee Jung-hoo scored one hit (double) in four times at bat on the day. His batting average for the season was 0.258 (106 hits in 411 times at bat).
