“Lee Jung-hoo, the No. 1 hitter in the opening game.” Manager Nailed it. “There’s no reason why I can’t do it.” … Expectations are exploding even though there’s not a single ML game

The San Francisco Giants of the Major League Baseball (MLB) did not recruit Lee Jung-hoo (25) for a large amount of money. Starting from the head coach, Lee Jung-hoo is expected to be appointed to an important position next season.
NBC Sports Bay Area, a U.S. media outlet, reported on the 22nd (Korea time), “San Francisco coach Bob Melvin is envisioning Lee Jung-hoo as a leadoff in the 2024 season.”

“Since I recruited Lee Jung-hoo, I have thought about several lineup options,” Melvin said on a recent podcast. “The first batter will be convenient for Lee Jung-hoo as he has experience,” he said. “There is no reason not to do so at the moment.” He boldly expressed his intention to appoint a player who has not played a single game in the Major League as a top hitter in the opening game.

Ramonte Wade Jr. (29), who has been batting first in 97 out of 162 games, is spearheading San Francisco’s offense this year. Wade posted an OPS of 0.790 with 17 homers and 45 RBIs and two stolen bases with a batting average of 0.256 in 135 games this year. He stood out as his on-base percentage was 0.373, which was 0.1 or more higher than his batting average. However, there is no guarantee that this momentum will continue as his on-base percentage was 0.326 despite a similar batting average of 0.253 just two years ago. For this reason, Lee Jung-hoo’s performance is important.

Coach Melvin, who was not able to attend the press conference for Lee’s joining, reportedly had a conversation with him through video call. “Lee Jung-hoo showed great personality and was satisfied to be a part of San Francisco,” Melvin said. “It will resonate with me and my team.” “The recruitment (of Lee Jung-hoo) heralded a satisfactory start to the offseason,” he said with joy. 랭크카지노
Experts had already predicted that Lee Jung-hoo would play as the starting center fielder. “I will use Lee Jung-hoo as the starting center fielder,” said Farhan Zaidi, president of San Francisco’s baseball operations department, who attended the press conference for joining the team. In addition, he gave Lee Jung-hoo trust.
