Lee Jung-hoo 9.1% Finally, no one can guess better than the No. 1 LEE, local praise

Lee Jung-hoo played as the center fielder in the third on the first day of the three consecutive home games against the New York Mets at Oracle Park on the 23rd (Korea time) and recorded one hit, one run, and one walk in three times at bat.

Lee Jung-hoo, who was listed in the third batting order in five days after the game against the Miami Marlins on the 18th, reached base twice and continued his on-base streak for 13 consecutive games. He was able to resume his record of consecutive hits, which was suspended in 11 games, because he failed to get a hit against the Arizona Diamondbacks the previous day.

His batting average for the season rose slightly to 0.284 (25 hits in 88 times at bat), marking two homers, seven RBIs, 13 runs scored, eight walks, a 0.343 on-base percentage, a slugging percentage, and an OPS of 0.729.

In particular, Lee Jung-hoo recorded four times at bat without striking out on the day, ranking first among 189 batters in the K percentage of strikeouts, or 9.1 percent (nine strikeouts in 99 times at bat). Miami second baseman Luis Arraez, who was the previous No. 1 player, dropped to second place with 9.3 percent (108 strikeouts). Arraez was the batting champion of the American League in 2022 and the National League in 2023. He is considered one of the best contact heaters in the world.

Entering his first at bat with two outs in the bottom of the first inning, Lee grounded out to the first base. At two balls, first baseman Pete Alonso grabbed a sinker pull in the middle of Mets left-hander Jose Kintana’s third pitch, 89.8 miles, and threw it to Kintana, who came into the base cover.

San Francisco took the lead with two outs in the bottom of the second inning on Nick Ahmed’s infield hit to shortstop. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor fired his body and blocked it with a glove, but the ball continued to flow to the right, and not only third baseman Michael Confoto but also second baseman Jorge Soler homered.

Lee Jung-hoo hit a hit in the second at-bat in the third inning with a 2-0 lead and even scored a run.

San Francisco Giants’ leader Wilmer Pless got on base with a walk and took the opportunity. Lee Jung-hoo then hit a hit to the right, leading the chance to first and second bases with no outs. Lee fouled off three or four pitches in a row at a two strike, and when Kintana’s 76.5 mile glove (slider + curve) fell to the outside, he pulled it lightly to make a hit that landed in front of right field. With a shooting angle of 17 degrees, batting speed of 85.7 miles, and flying distance of 259 feet, it was not hard hit.

Lee’s contact ability was clearly shown in the hit. “Kintana’s breaking ball was perfectly positioned to the outside, but Lee made contact and had a hit. None of San Francisco’s hitters is better than Lee,” local broadcasters said.

After Soler struck out, San Francisco’s Matt Chapman hit a double that fell on the left-field line, leaving Flores and Lee Jung-hoo homered together to run 4-0.

In the fifth inning when his team was leading 4-1, Lee grounded out to the first base with one out. He pulled another 88.7-mile sinker to the center of Kintana’s second pitch, but was again facing the first base. San Francisco widened the gap to 5-1 with leadoff hitter Confoto’s superior solo home run in the sixth inning.

After one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, Lee Jung-hoo got a straight walk from his opponent’s right-hander Sean Reid-Pauley and reached base. All four balls were high courses far beyond the strike zone. Then Sole

San Francisco closer Camilo Doval allowed two walks with a 5-1 lead and gave up one point by making wild pitches and defensive errors, but he managed to keep the win by blocking additional runs.

San Francisco starter Keaton Winn won his second game of the season with a good pitching of four hits, one walk, six strikeouts and one run in six innings. Winn, who achieved two consecutive quality starts following the match against Miami on the 18th, entered a stable track by lowering his ERA from 4.09 to 3.54.

San Francisco Giants, which had 11 wins and 13 losses, became the third-ranked team in the Western Division of the National League with Arizona. The team narrowed its gap to two games with the first-runner Los Angeles Dodgers.
