Lee Jung-hoo was excluded from the lineup of the last three consecutive away games against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field at 8:40 a.m. on the 4th (Korea time). After missing the home game against the Baltimore Orioles on the 1st, he took another break three days later. Rookie left-handed hitter Drew Gilbert was used in center field.
The starting pitcher for Colorado on the day was right-handed Hermann Marquez, which is not the reason for the opponent of left-handed pitchers. Marks has 3 wins and 12 losses and a 6.14 ERA this season, so there is no reason for Lee Jung-hoo to be excluded.
It's not that he's in a bad batting condition. Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh center fielder against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on the 3rd (Korea time), scoring one point on two hits and one walk from three times at bat, helping them win 7-4.
He has had hits in seven of the last eight games, and has a batting average of 0.290 (9 hits in 31 at-bats) during this period. He has a batting average of 0.262 (129 hits in 493) for the season, seven homers, 48 RBIs, 64 runs, 44 walks, 62 strikeouts, 10 steals, and an OPS of 0.732.
Meanwhile, if Lee Jung-hoo adds 21 hits for the rest of the season, he will be the first KBO big league hitter to hit 150 hits in a season. Kim Ha-sung's record in this category is 140 hits set by the San Diego Padres in 2023. As a Korean batter, Choo Shin-soo recorded 175 hits at the Cleveland Guardians in 2009.
