Lee Jung-hoo 25, San Francisco Giants, who entered the U.S. stage after receiving the highest treatment from Asian fielders, was selected as No. 1-center field.
NBC Sports in the U.S. said on the 22nd that head coach Bob Melvin, who leads San Francisco, has already planned the starting lineup for the 2024 season, and Lee Jung-hoo will be used as the first.
He signed a six-year-113 million-dollar contract. It was only natural that he would be given the starting position. Beyond that, he was effectively confirmed by the team's leadoff early on.
This shows how much San Francisco has high expectations for Lee Jung-hoo. San Francisco is counting on Lee Jung-hoo's batting as well as baserunning and defense.
Last year, hitters who took the No. 1 position in San Francisco recorded a batting average of 0.264 with 25 home runs and 66 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.363 OPS 0.807 in a total of 162 games. 스포츠토토
San Francisco is unlikely to expect Lee Jung-hoo to score more than 25 home runs. However, it is not unreasonable to expect an on-base percentage of 0.363 and an OPS of 0.807 or higher.
Lee Jung-hoo recently signed an amazing six-year, $113 million contract with San Francisco and even held a grand joining ceremony at Oracle Park.
This means that San Francisco has quite high expectations for Lee Jung-hoo. A six-year contract and a contract with a total amount of more than $100 million do not come out easily.
All that remains now is for Lee Jung-hoo to prove his skills. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Jung-hoo, who dominated Korean professional baseball, will be able to show his true value in the Major League.
