"Like Babe Ruth, Like the Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Lee Junghoo"
When Lee Jung-hoo fired a three-run home run against the New York Yankees, San Francisco broadcaster NBC Bay Arena said with excitement.
Lee Jung-hoo started as the third batter center fielder in the final game of the three consecutive games against the New York Yankees in the 2025 Major League at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 14th (Korea time) and hit consecutive home runs.
It was his first multi-homer game since he entered the Major League. He also broke the record of most RBIs in a single game by sweeping four RBIs alone.
The batting average rose to 0.352, and with two homers and one walk, the OPS, which added on-base plus slugging percentage, soared to 1.130.
Lee Jung-hoo, who played in his first career away game with the New York Yankees, held a long-shot parade throughout the three consecutive games.
First of all, in the first game of the three consecutive games against the New York Yankees on the 12th, he was active with one hit, two walks, two RBIs and two runs from four at-bats with his first home run of the season. He hit an 89.4 mph (144 km) sinker that came in the third pitch in the ball count 1B 1S, exploding a three-run home run over the right-center field. He added a home run for the first time in 356 days since the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 21 last year.
A day later, he added a double in the second game of three consecutive games. He became the lone top-ranked player in the Major League in this category with his eighth double of this season.
The Yankees pitcher Lee Jung-hoo faced on the day was Carlos Rondon, a left-handed starter who was different from the pitchers he faced in the past two games. In his 11th year in the Major League, he propped up the Yankees lineup with 16 wins, 9 losses and an ERA of 3.96 last season.
Lee Jung-hoo, whose well-hit ball in the first at-bat in the first inning was caught with a line drive to center field, exploded in the second at-bat.
He hit a chasing solo home run in the fourth inning when his team was losing 0-3. He swung an 85.5 mph slider at a full count to hit the right fence of Yankee Stadium.
It didn't end here. He completely turned the game around with his second homer.
Lee Jung-hoo, who was driven to a ball count of 1-2 in the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, hit an 81.7-mile curve thrown by Rondon and crossed the right fence again.
The homer quickly turned the game upside down to 4-3. Rondon became a losing pitcher from a winning pitcher requirement.
The home run also made Lee the first left-handed hitter to hit two home runs in a game to Carlos Rondon.
Lee faced Yankees right-hander Ian Hamilton at his fourth at-bat in the eighth inning when his team was leading 5-3. He concentrated on the ball count at 1-2, but cut three consecutive balls, leading the game to the full count. By picking up a ball that was out of the strike zone on the ninth pitch, Lee successfully got on base for the third time in the game.
Meanwhile, U.S. sports media ESPN predicted on the 10th that "San Francisco Giants center fielder Lee Jung-hoo will win the National League batting champion." Furthermore, it gave an unconventional forecast that "he will be in the top five in the MVP vote."
The player selected as the comparison target is Araes, the No. 1 batting champion who is considered to have the best contact ability in the major leagues.
"Lee Jung-hoo is faster than Ariz. He also has better on-base ability. He can hit in various directions," ESPN said. "Lee Jung-hoo will start batting between Willy Adames and Matt Chapman. With a runner on the team, chances are high that the pitcher will go head-to-head with Lee."
"I think his timing gets a lot better in every game. He can pull and send the ball to the center and to the left-center," San Francisco coach Bob Melvin said. "That's why we recruited him, and that's why he hits 30 percent."
"Lee Jung-hoo is playing great baseball. He runs well, plays well, defends well, and swings his bat well," he said. "I'm happy to see Lee keep getting better. We all do." 카지노
San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb allowed one run in the first inning and two runs in the second inning, but Lee Jung-hoo's consecutive homeruns upset the game. He added one run in the seventh inning to widen the score gap and win the game 5-4. He tied this season's record to 11 wins and three losses by winning three consecutive away games of the New York Yankees, the first and last of this season.
Yankees right fielder Judge, who had a monster start this season, got three hits and two walks in three consecutive games against San Francisco, including the game on the day, but failed to hit a home run. Judge's last home run was against Arizona on the 4th.
