San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo hit his first home run of the season, and started joining the top ranks in each category of offense. The reason why he is nominated as MVP is revealed.

Lee Jung-hoo played as center fielder for the third time in the first three consecutive away games against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on the 12th (Korea time), and led the team to a 9-1 victory with one hit, three RBIs, two runs and two walks in two at-bats, including a pre-emptive winning home run. The game ended with a rain-cold game as San Francisco's rain became thicker with the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the sixth inning with a 9-1 lead.

Lee's home run was the first three-run shot in the top of the first inning. Leading Mike Yastremski's double to the right-center and Willy Adames' walk gave him a chance to hit the first and second bases. Against right-handed Yankees starter Marcus Stroman, Lee pulled an 89.4-mile sinker that was slightly pushed outward from the middle of the third pitch, and connected it to a three-run shot that slightly crossed the right-center fence.

With a launch angle of 24 degrees, a batting speed of 100.5 miles and a driving distance of 387 feet, Lee Jung-hoo's first homer of the season and his third in the big league. It is the first time in 356 days that Lee Jung-hoo hit a home run in the Major League since his superior solo shot in the bottom of the first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park on April 21 last year.

San Francisco gained the upper hand with Lee Jung-hoo's homer, and Lamont Wade Jr. called in both runners with a right double to lead the game 5-0, with no outs and continuous chances with runners on the first and second bases, which were earned through consecutive walks by Matt Chapman and Elliott Ramos. In fact, the game was decided in the first inning.

Lee, who grounded out to shortstop at his second batter's box after one out in the second inning, went out as the leadoff man in the top of the fifth inning with a 5-1 lead, tormented right-hander Ian Hamilton, and picked up a 94.6 mile high fastball from the full count to get on base. Then, with Chapman's walk and Lamont's walk after one out, Lee advanced to the third base, penetrating home when Wilmer Flores grounded out to the pitcher, widening the gap to 6-1.
Lee also garnered a walk in his fourth at-bat in the sixth inning with his team leading 8-1. With runners on the first and second bases with no outs, he drew a straight walk from right-hander Yoendris Gomes to load the bases. With the bases loaded with two outs, San Francisco added a run by Lamont with a pushy walk, widening the gap to 9-1.

Then, the rain became thicker and the ground was covered with tarps, and the cold game was declared 30 minutes later with the game already tilted.

Lee Jung-hoo marked 0.340 (16 hits in 47 at-bats), one home run, seven RBIs, 13 points, five walks, seven strikeouts, three steals, a 0.404 on-base percentage, a 0.596 slugging percentage and an OPS of 1.000 in 12 games this season.

They are sixth in batting average in the NL, 13th in on-base percentage, 10th in slugging percentage, 9th in OPS, 4th in scoring, 13th in hits and 5th in slugging. Records show that both contact heating and power heating stand out.

Notably, Ohtani had no hit in four at-bats against the Chicago Cubs on the day, recording a batting average of 0.293 (17 hits in 58 times at bat), four homers, five RBIs, 15 runs, three steals, a on-base percentage of 0.406, a slugging percentage of 0.552 and an OPS of 0.958. In the NL OPS category, Lee Jeong-hoo is ninth, and Ohtani is 10th.

There was only one time on the 7th that Lee Jung-hoo, who made his big league debut last year, surpassed Ohtani in the OPS. At that time, Lee Jung-hoo had an OPS of 0.931 and Ohtani 0.912. Seiya Suzuki, the designated hitter of the Chicago Cubs, who has been doing well at the beginning of the season, also has an OPS of 0.956, which is lower than Lee Jung-hoo.

It is the first time that Lee Jung-hoo has played in such a rainy weather since entering the Major League. 온라인바카라

After the game, Lee Jung-hoo said, "In KBO, games don't even start in this weather. In KBO, there are many rain cancellations."

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin said, "It was a great homer. It was Lee's first time playing in the stadium. After two runners left, he hit a homer even in bad weather. He gave us a win in the first inning." "He hits the ball hard. He hits the entire field. It is a good thing that he hit hard. I think he was unlucky last year. However, starting the season brilliantly early this year is very important to him. It is because he came to the U.S. last year and did not play much (due to injuries). So far, he has been very good. He has been playing as the third hitter, but he has produced good results along with excellent base running and defense."

Coach Melvin, who is penetrating Lee Jung-hoo's career, said, "Trust in him is turning into affection.

MLB.com mentioned Lee Jung-hoo for the fourth time in an article titled "These nine players who are back to health got the atmosphere" and evaluated, "San Francisco's offense came to life as Lee Jung-hoo was in the third place. It is a decisive factor in winning and losing 10 games in the NL West, where strong teams gather."
