'You should have hit it like this...'

San Francisco Giants center fielder Lee Jung-hoo finally got out of the swamp of a long slump. He also recorded a multi-hit in 12 days, signaling that the batting slump is over now. But that point is too late. The team fell into a slump at a time when they had to perform best, so they couldn't show any of the things they wanted. It can be seen as the worst offbeat.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the sixth center fielder in an away game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the morning of the 21st (Korea time). Lee Jung-hoo did not come out as a pinch hitter or pinch runner after being excluded from the previous game due to his recent poor batting performance. Lee Jung-hoo has been in a severe slump with no hits in the last seven consecutive games since the game against Arizona on the 11th. He had no hits in 21 consecutive at-bats since the game on the 10th.

It was the worst slump that came at the worst time. San Francisco has been on the rise since late August, keeping alive its hopes of reaching the postseason, which seemed to have disappeared. In early September, he trailed the New York Mets, who are ranked third in the National League wild card, by 0.5 games.

But this was the limit. Since then, the Mets have succeeded in escaping consecutive losses, but San Francisco's winning rate has fallen, leading to a victory. Of course, Lee Jung-hoo fell into a hitting slump and the team's sluggishness strangely overlapped. There is no refutation for blaming Lee Jung-hoo as one of the main culprits of the team's sluggishness.

Under these circumstances, Lee Jung-hoo, who took a break against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 20th, was listed in the starting lineup again. However, in the game, he broke his long silence and resumed hit production.




Lee Jung-hoo came to his first at-bat in the top of the first inning with one out and runners on second base with a 3-0 lead. Lee Jung-hoo made a left-handed hit against LA Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow by pushing the fourth high curve with a ball count of 1B2S. It was the first hit in 22 at-bats on the 11th after the game against Arizona on the 10th.

Lee Jung-hoo, who regained his confidence at the plate with a hit in the first inning, also hit Glasnow well in his second at-bat after one out in the top of the third inning and made his second hit of the day. We played a full count game carefully. He then pulled a 94.5-mile four-seam fastball into the seventh pitch and hit the right-handed hit. The left and right spray hits in the first and third innings mean that Lee Jung-hoo has finally fully recovered his hitting sense.

Lee Jung-hoo's multi-hit is the first in 12 days since the game against Arizona on the 9th '3 hits in one game'. Lee Jung-hoo's balance rapidly collapsed after three hits against Arizona on the 9th. He went 1 for 3 the next day, but after that, he fell into a hitless swamp.

It was an incomprehensible slump. Lee Jung-hoo was showing a fairly good batting performance in early September. From the game against Colorado on Sept. 2 to Arizona on Sept. 10, he had a high batting average of 0.500 (13 hits in 26 at-bats). However, from the 11th, hit production was stopped due to poor batting performance of unknown cause.

Lee Jung-hoo's poor performance put a damper on the rising San Francisco market. As a result, San Francisco's hopes of advancing to the postseason with a wild card have virtually disappeared.

San Francisco also suffered a come-from-behind loss in the game on the 21st, when Lee Jung-hoo made a multi-hit. He scored four runs in the first inning, but failed to add a score for the next five innings. Meanwhile, the Dodgers turned the tide 7-4 with Max Muncy (1st inning), Michael Confoto (4th inning), Tommy Edman (5th inning) and Shohei Ohtani (6th inning) combining four home runs.

San Francisco chased a run in the top of the seventh, but that was it. In the end, they lost 5-7 and have lost three consecutive games. The win over the Mets has now widened to four games. It is impossible to make up. Lee Jung-hoo also had two hits in the beginning, but did not play after the middle of the game. He struck out swinging after two outs in the top of the fifth inning.

In particular, he hit an infield ground ball for the second baseman in the top of the seventh inning with one out and runners on first and second bases, following 4-7 to 5-7. The ball was caught by second baseman Edman, and a double play almost came out. Leading runner Bryce Eldridge was out at second base, and Lee Jung-hoo was barely safe at first base. The situation continued with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, but follow-up hitter Casey Schmitz failed to score additional points as he only hit a fly ball to right field.

As a result, it can be said that Lee Jung-hoo's infield grounder cut off the offense. This was Lee Jung-hoo's last at-bat on the day. As a result, it became an atmosphere where he could not rejoice in multi-hits after breaking his long hitless silence.
