I wish I had found a sense of hitting earlier. San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo swung four hits for the first time since his major league debut.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh center fielder in the last of three consecutive away games against the New York Mets at Citi Field in New York on the 4th (Korea time), contributing to the 12-4 victory with four hits, one walk and two points in four at-bats.

San Francisco, which finished its three consecutive games against the Mets with a winning series of 2 wins and 1 losses, returned to a winning percentage of .500 with 56 wins and 56 losses.




During the three consecutive games, Lee Jung-hoo scored seven hits in 12 at-bats (0.583), one RBI, and four runs. Multi-hit for two consecutive days the day before. Coincidentally, San Francisco gave up the playoffs and immediately traded key players, raising the sense of hitting. The Mets also tasted the Winning Series in the first three consecutive games immediately after throwing a towel during PennerTrace.

With this, Lee Jung-hoo marked a batting average of 0.258 (103 hits in 399 at-bats), six home runs, 44 RBIs, 54 runs, 38 walks, 8 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.327, a slugging percentage of 0.406, and an OPS of 0.733 . The batting average is the highest since June 20 and the OPS is the highest since June 21.

It's a double celebration. After entering the Major League, he marked his first four hits and first five-base games, and finally passed the 100-hit mark for this season. He has a batting average of 0.315 (17 hits in 54 times at bat) and an OPS of 0.819.

Lee Jung-hoo, who entered as the leadoff hitter in the top of the third inning, trailing 0-1, hit a heavy hit and got on base for the first time. Mets right-hander Frankie Montas hit a 95.3-mile fastball in the middle of the second pitch to lead to a clean hit running through second base. Lee Jung-hoo, who succeeded in stealing second base at Patrick Bailey's at-bat, then ran to third base while shortstop Francisco Lindor failed to catch properly and put the ball back.

When Bailey hit a heavy hit, Lee Jung-hoo leisurely homered to tie the score 1-1. San Francisco turned the tide 4-1 when Rafael Devers pulled Montas' 94.4-mile fastball into a three-run shot that went well over the right fence. He hit his 20th home run of the season with a shooting angle of 32 degrees, a batting speed of 105.9 miles and a flying distance of 403 feet.

In the fourth inning of the San Francisco Con, Lee Jung-hoo's hit was linked and added three runs to win the game. San Francisco, which opened with Casey Schmidt's left-handed hit after one out, hit a 90.9-mile cutter on Montas' fourth pitch, sending a heavy hit that exquisitely escaped between the shortstop and the second baseman, leading the chance to the first and third bases.




Then, when Bailey grounded out to first base, Schmidt's home touch was faster than the opponent's first baseman Pete Alonso's home throw, and San Francisco, which added one point each due to Elliott Ramos' infield hit to shortstop and Devers' right-handed hit, ran away 7-1.

Lee Jung-hoo entered as the leadoff hitter in the sixth inning with a 7-2 lead and hit again. This time, with a ball count of 2B2S, right-hander Austin Warren lightly pushed a sweeper in the middle of 84.3 miles on the sixth pitch and hit a single that fell in front of left field. However, he failed to advance further due to the failure of the follow-up.

Lee Jung-hoo, who got on base for the fourth time with a walk after two outs in the eighth inning, exploded a double in his last at-bat in the ninth inning. San Francisco widened the gap to 12-2 with Dominic Smith's timely hit and Schmidt's three-run homer to the left with the bases loaded with two outs.

In the absence of a runner, Lee Jung-hoo hit a line drive hit that flew to left-center at a speed of 98.2 miles by pushing a 74.3-mile fastball on the third pitch while his opponent took catcher Luis Torrens to the mound and settled on second base. But he didn't make it home.
