Is there a throw in the stands left in your head? San Francisco's Lee Jung-hoo 3 hits → No hit bat rapid freezing, and the record for the first time in history is on the verge of collapse

San Francisco Giants built-in center fielder Lee Jung-hoo's bat froze cold in just one day. In the previous day's game, Lee Jung-hoo had as many as three hits. He also set the record for the most triple-base hits in a single season by an Asian player (12). However, in the next day's game, he struck out two and did not get a single hit.
The biggest reason is that the opposing pitchers threw well, but Lee Jung-hoo somehow failed to show the same concentration as the previous day at the batter's box. He seems to have been stiffened by his guilt over the absurdity of the defense in the bottom of the eighth inning of the previous day.

Lee Jung-hoo entered his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning with a 3-2 lead. Earlier, Casey Schmidt hit a three-run homer with no outs and second base to sweep the runner. Lee Jung-hoo struck out swinging against Colorado starter Kyle Freeland. I was tricked by a knuckle curve. He then came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning and also faced Freeland, but this time he grounded out to second base.
Lee Jung-hoo struck out with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning while standing on the changed pitcher Jimmy Huggett in his third at-bat.
However, both strikeouts came out on ball counts in favor of the batter. In the second inning, the first and second pitches were balls, and in the seventh inning, three consecutive balls came in. If Lee Jung-hoo maintained his concentration a little calmly, it was a match with a high probability of getting on base. These are scenes that reveal Lee Jung-hoo's lack of concentration.

Lee Jung-hoo had a pretty good hitting sense until the game against Colorado on the 27th, the day before. He had hits in three consecutive games, and had as many as three hits in one game. Among them was a triple. Expectations for a hit in four consecutive games have grown.
In particular, if he added a hit in the game on the 28th, he was able to increase his chances of achieving "150 hits in a season for the first time as a major league hitter from KBO." Lee Jung-hoo had three hits on the 27th, increasing the number of hits in the season to 146. In that state, there were two games left. Therefore, if Lee Jung-hoo had a multi-hit on the 28th, it was worth expecting to achieve a record in the final game of the season.

The chances are very slim. A four-hit game is almost as difficult to play as a multi-homer game. Lee Jung-hoo played 149 games this season until the 28th, of which only two were '4 hit games'. It is the only game against the New York Mets (four hits and two RBIs in four at-bats) on August 4 and against the St. Louis Cardinals (four hits and one RBI in five at-bats) on September 6. Coincidentally, there were triples in both of these games.
Attention is focusing on whether Lee Jung-hoo will be able to overturn his slim chance in the final game of the season and reach the 150-hit mark.
