Lee Jeong-hoo, who started as the first hitter and center fielder on this day, made a hit with a strong ground ball that passed by the first baseman in the first inning when the score was 0-2 and the ball count was 2.
In an interview with local media such as the East Bay Times, Lee Jeong-hoo recalled, “(The opponent) was a good pitcher.
Since we were pushed to 2 strikes, I was thinking of only making contact,but fortunately it led to a good result.”
Seattle George Kirby, who allowed a hit to Lee Jeong-hoo, is a pitcher who won 8 wins in 2022, his debut season, and 13 wins last year.
Regarding the difference between the Major League and the KBO League, Lee Jeong-hoo said, “The fastball is different, but the biggest difference seems to be the velocity of the breaking ball.”
Jeong-hoo Lee ended his first exhibition game with a grounder to first base in the second inning and a strikeout on a swing in the fourth.
San Francisco coach Bob Melvin, who watched the game, also gave a passing grade.
Manager Melvin was pleased, saying, “His debut was delayed (due to mild back pain), but he looks very good as he hit a hit and even scored a run in his first at-bat.”
At the same time, he hinted at the possibility of ordering Lee Jeong-hoo to play aggressively.
