Will Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants) be able to continue his "left-handed killer" side against 104 winning pitchers.

Lee Jung-hoo will play as the third batter and center fielder against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 Major League (MLB) regular season at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 23rd (Korea time).

Lee Jung-hoo had one hit from four times at bat in the game against Milwaukee on the previous day. In his fourth at-bat, he hit a triple to the right-center by targeting the opponent's left-hander Jared Keynick's low sinker. His batting average fell slightly from 0.333 to 0.329, but his slugging percentage increased from 0.593 to 0.600.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had a batting average of 0.227 against left-handed pitchers last season (2024), is showing a completely different response this season. As of Tuesday, he recorded 13 hits in 29 at-bats against left-handed pitchers, marking a batting average of 0.448. He showed better coping skills by making a 160km/h body sinker (based on left-handed hit) used by top-ranked setup man Jose Alvarado into a right-handed hit.

He is also expected to produce hits in the game against Milwaukee on Sunday. Milwaukee's starting pitcher is left-hander Jose Quintana. Quintana is a veteran player who has played in the big leagues for 14 seasons since his debut in the 2012 season. He pitched in 361 games and recorded 104 wins (103 losses) with an earned run average of 3.72. Apart from the New York Mets, who played for the past two seasons, he joined the Milwaukee Brewers this season.

Lee had three showdowns with Quintana, the starting pitcher for the New York Mets on April 23 last year. He grounded out at his first batter's box, but pulled an outside slider at the ball count (0-2 strike), which was disadvantageous for his second batter's box. He recorded one hit from three times at bat.

Quintana allowed seven scoreless innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 12th and one run in 5 2/3 innings against the Detroit Tigers on the 17th. He pitched well in both games, leading his team to victory and winning two games. Lee Jung-hoo continues his outstanding batting performance to the extent that he remains at the top of the league's double category. 안전놀이터
