"It's not surprising that we're batting .370 at Oracle Park."

Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants) ranked 4th in the "Best Pitcher and 10th Batter in Major League Baseball (MLB) as of this season" selected by the U.S. Blitzer Report on the 21st (Korea Standard Time).

"This ranking was based on performance," Blitzer Report said. "Batters were only targeting players who played at least 80 at-bats."

The only players ahead of Lee Jung-hoo are Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), Pete Alonso (New York Mets), and Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego Padres), who ranked first to third, respectively.
Lee Jung-hoo was included in the top ranks, beating prominent stars such as Kyle Tucker (Houston Astros) and Kyle Schwarber (Philadelphia Phillies).

The media reported, "Last season, I ended the season with a shoulder injury even before I knew Lee Jung-hoo properly. Nevertheless, the possibility was clearly seen. And now the possibility has become a reality."

"Lee Jung-hoo has had eight multi-hitters this season," he said. "The secret of this is two exceptional abilities. One is his excellent contact ability, and the other is his ability to produce line-drive balls that can hit positive hits."

The Bleacher Report also paid attention to Lee Jung-hoo's strong performance at Oracle Park, his home stadium.

The media said, "Lee Jung-hoo is actually the 'Olach Park-optimized hitter'. It is not surprising that he is batting .370 at his home stadium."

Earlier in the day, reporter Zachary D. Reimer of the Bleacher Report, who wrote this article, was wary of a quick decision, citing Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers as an example.

"(The ranked players) are still in the Ryan Jeffers section," he said. "Jeffers burned to 0.947 on-base plus slugging percentage) and 168 on-base plus wRC+ (adjusted score production) until April of last season, but at the end of the season, the feeling of hitting cooled down."

Nevertheless, the possibility of future development was highly evaluated.

Sports Illustrated said, "Lee Jung-hoo is showing a completely different side of himself after regaining his health. The scary thing is that he still has a great potential for growth."

The media examined Lee Jung-hoo's development potential by using data from MLB.COM's record website, Baseball Servant.

In other words, Lee Jung-hoo showed low bat-spit and barrel batting productivity this season, but showed excellent performance with a batting average of 0.333, three homers, 14 RBIs, three steals, and an OPS of 0.982 in 21 games. 온라인바카라

"There is still room for improvement in batting. Bat speed is in the bottom 15 percent and barrel ratio is in the bottom 45 percent," the media said. "Lee Jung-hoo, who has shown remarkable progress not only in offense but also in defense, is now approaching the 'superstar' that the Giants expected."
