San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo has begun to show his high-sensitivity hitting again in August.

Lee Jung-hoo played as a leadoff center fielder in Game 2 of the three away games against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on the 24th (Korea time) and recorded one hit in five at-bats. Lee Jung-hoo, who was silent the previous day with no hits in four at-bats against Milwaukee and ended his hit streak in 10 consecutive games, which continued from the 12th to the 22nd, announced that he did not lose his ability to produce hits with cool hits.

In particular, it is encouraging that three out of five hits he made were hard hits with a batting speed of 95 miles or more. However, Lee Jung-hoo's batting average was 0,259 (121 hits in 467 at-bats), which collapsed in the 260-unit range, which was maintained for a week, and the OPS decreased from 0.734 to 0.731.




Also, Lee Jung-hoo was consistent with a still lethargic hit in the chance. He has rarely been able to get a hit in the scoring position.

Lee Jung-hoo did not have a single hit in the scoring position on the day as well. The most recent hit in the scoring position was a two-run triple in the top of the fifth inning with two outs and runners on first and second base, leading 2-1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 5th. Since then, he has been hitless in 12 consecutive at-bats in the scoring position.

Lee Jung-hoo hit well with a batting average of 0.313 (25 hits in 80 at-bats) in 21 games in August, but he failed to gain strength with one hit (0.063) in 16 at-bats. Despite his high batting average in August, he only posted four RBIs. In other words, it is close to 'zero presence' in the chance.




For this reason, local media The Athletic criticized that `Lee Jung-hoo's performance is not much different from what he expected before the season.'

In his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, Lee Jung-hoo pulled Milwaukee right-hander Freddie Peralta's fastball in the middle of the second pitch for 93.5 miles, but he was thrown out by a ground ball to the second base. It was a hard hit of more than 100 miles with a batting speed of 100.8 miles.

In the third inning, trailing 0-1, he entered as the leadoff hitter and retired with a short fly ball to left field. In the ball count of 2B2S, Peralta's change-up, which fell into the middle of 88 miles on his fifth pitch, seemed to have lost the timing, and the hit missed by the weakly turned bat appeared high in the outfield in left-center. The batting speed is 87.4 miles.




However, Lee Jung-hoo eventually produced a hit against Peralta. In the fifth inning, when the team was losing 0-1, after a close game of full count, he hit a line drive hit that fell in front of center field by hitting a fastball in the middle of Peralta's seventh pitch 91 miles. It was his 121st hit of the season with a launch angle of 14 degrees and a batting speed of 96.8 miles (156 kilometers).

However, the inning ended in vain because the next batter, Rafael Devers, hit a double play by the second baseman at the first pitch.

With a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning, the second base with two outs hit a grounder to shortstop and remained silent again in the scoring position. It hit right-hander Grant Anderson's 94.1 mile sinker, but it was missed and became a ground ball that flowed weakly toward the shortstop.

Lee Jung-hoo, who took the lead in the eighth inning with a 7-1 lead, hit right-hander Carlos Rodriguez's 90-mile cutter well, but was out with a deep fly to center field. It flew at a firing angle of 21 degrees and a batting speed of 95.4 miles, but was caught at 350 feet.

San Francisco tied the game with Casey Schmidt's double to the left in the top of the sixth inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, and then took advantage of third baseman Anthony Sigler's error to pull back against Luis Matos' grounder with one out and second and third bases, turning the tide 3-1 with both homered.

In the seventh inning, Schmidt's three-run shot in left-center and Patrick Bailey's timely hit combined to score four points to widen the gap to 7-1. San Francisco, which lost its fourth straight game, went 62-68.
