【【 "4G consecutive hits → First steal since debut → Foil score" Lee Jung-hoo shows off his batting ability and quick footwork 】】

San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo (26) stole his first base since his debut, hitting four consecutive games.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the first center fielder in the 2024 Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays match at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the 13th (Korea time).

Lee Jung-hoo, who appeared as a leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning, caught Tampa Bay right-hander Jacob Wagspec's second four-seam at 93.7 miles per hour (150.8 kilometers) but was caught in a straight hit to center field. He hit the ball at the 104.2 miles (167.7 kilometers) exit velocity, but the course was not good.

Lee again took the lead in the third inning when San Francisco Giants was trailing 0-1 after allowing the first run, and hit a four-seam pitch of 92.4 miles (148.7 kilometers) with two balls and one strike toward the left field. He also hit a powerful 100.1 mile (161.1 kilometers) pitch, resulting in a hit.

Lee Jung-hoo, who created a chance to hit first base with no outs, attempted to steal second base when he was at bat for the second batter, La Monte Wade Jr. As catcher Ben Lovett's throw missed, Lee made it to third base. It was his first successful steal of the season. Then, when catcher Lovett made a foil during Jorge Soler's at-bat, he immediately went home and tied the score 1-1.

Lee Jung-hoo, who had five hits in the last three games and boosted his batting performance with multi hits in the last two consecutive games, had a hit in today's game as well, and had four consecutive hits. He had his first stolen base since his Major League debut and even scored a tie, showing everything he could do as a leadoff. He had a batting average of 265 percent (13 hits from 48 times at bat), four homers, five RBIs, five runs scored and one stolen base, and OPS 668 in 13 games.
