He also had another hit. Lee Jung-hoo (27) of the San Francisco Giants, a "genius hitter" from Korea, continued his batting style.
Lee Jung-hoo started as the third batter and center fielder in an exhibition game against the San Diego Padres in the 2025 Major League at Peoria Stadium in Peoria, Arizona on the 5th (Korea Standard Time).
On the day, San Francisco Giants starting pitchers Ramonte Wade Jr. (first baseman), Heliot Ramos (left fielder), Lee Jung-hoo (center fielder), Herar Encarnacion (designated hitter), Patrick Bailey (catcher), Louis Matos (right fielder), Tyler Fitzgerald (second baseman), Brett Weisley (striker), and Casey Schmidt (third baseman). Right-hander Landon Loop was the starting pitcher.
In response, San Diego sent out right-hander Nick Pivetta as a starting pitcher, and Luis Arraez (first baseman), Fernando Tatis Jr. (designated hitter), Jackson Merrill (middle fielder), Manny Machado (third baseman), Jake Cronenworth (second baseman), Xander Bogaerts (striker), Jason Heyward (left fielder), and Martin Maldonado (catcher) were used in the first to ninth batting order.
In his first at-bat on offense in the top of the first inning, Lee failed to produce significant results. Ramos walked to the base with one out and Lee Jung-hoo entered the batter's box, but he swung and missed on Pivetta's 79-mile-per-hour curve and struck out.
Lee Jung-hoo was at the batter's box again at the top of the fourth inning in an attack. The first batter Lee Jung-hoo had a showdown with left-hander Wandy Peralta, and hit a sinker at 94.1 miles per hour (151 kilometers) to post a mid-range hit. The batting speed was recorded at 108.2 miles per hour (174 kilometers). However, no point was scored. With one out, San Francisco ended its offense in the top of the fourth inning as Bailey hit a double play that ranged from shortstop to second baseman.
Lee ended his at-bat. When San Francisco Giants started defense in the bottom of the sixth inning, it sent Wade Meckler to the center field instead of Lee. It was time for the two teams to lock horns 0-0.
Having recorded one hit from two times at bat on the day, Lee's batting average at exhibition games edged up to .412 (7 hits from 17 times at bat). This year, Lee appeared in seven exhibition games, boasting a batting average of .412 with an on-base percentage of .500, a slugging percentage of .647, and an OPS of 1.147 with one homer and two RBIs.
Having signed a six-year, 113 million-dollar contract with the San Francisco Giants ahead of the last season, Lee had to settle for a batting average of .262, an on-base percentage of .310, a slugging percentage of .331, and two OPS of .641 with eight RBIs and two steals in just 37 games due to the aftermath of his shoulder surgery. However, Lee, who has returned to action through exhibition games this year, has been hitting hard throughout the exhibition games, raising expectations for his performance this season. 바카라
