Lee Jung-hoo Grandchild of the Wind Scared Among San Francisco Colleagues

On the 20th (Korea Standard Time), Sports Illustrated's Fan Nation Giants Baseball Insider published an article titled "San Francisco players are in awe of the star rookie."

After failing to advance to the playoffs for two consecutive years, the San Francisco Giants started to strengthen its capacity during the offseason. "Before recruiting Blake Snell and Matt Chapman, we recruited Lee Jung-hoo, a KBO league superstar," the media outlet said. "Lee Jung-hoo has won five Golden Gloves as well as Rookie of the Year and MVP in the KBO league. The San Francisco Giants gave Lee Jung-hoo 113 million dollars for six years."

"Lee Jung-hoo continued his hit streak for 10 consecutive games by adding two hits against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 19th. San Francisco won 5-0 against Arizona, and his teammates were in awe of Lee Jung-hoo," he said. "He helped starter Logan Webb by showing amazing plays not only in offense but also in defense."

The media reported, "Lee Jung-hoo is adapting well to the Major League and is doing his best to become the best player in the league," adding, "Lee Jung-hoo said, 'Every game is really important to me and I value all the pitchers I'm dealing with now."

Meanwhile, Lee showed off a batting average of .343 (12 hits from 35 times at bat) with one homer, five RBIs, six runs scored and two steals with an OPS of 0.911, at exhibition games, and has continued his good performance with a batting average of .282 (22 hits from 78 times at bat), one homer, five RBIs, 10 runs and two steals. He was excluded from the starting lineup against Arizona on Tuesday in order to allocate his physical strength.
