"My dad (Lee Jong-beom) never told me how to play baseball, so I made it."

MLB.com has thoroughly analyzed Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants) hit in three stages on Tuesday (Korea time). In 31 games this season, Lee posted a batting average of .316 with three home runs, 18 RBIs and 23 on-base percentage of .372 with a slugging percentage of .521 OPS of 0.893.

In the game against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, he was deployed at the last minute of the game and retired as a slugger, ending his seven-game hitting spree. His batting sense slightly declined compared to the beginning of the season. However, Lee still has top-class performance among center fielders in the National League.

"After Lee Jung-hoo, his swing moves forward as if it were a military procedure," MLB.com said. The first step is to prepare. "He puts his hands up towards his head, and stands with his front feet wide open towards the first base to enter the batter's box." His signature open stand comes from his shoulder holding the bat. He made his debut in the Major League two years ago and tried to reach the heating point faster by lowering his hands near his chest, but failed. As a result, he returned to his original position and made a big success.

The second stage mentioned this. MLB.com said, "When the pitcher starts pitching, Lee Jung-hoo comes in sharply. "It's more like a dead ring, but it's wrapped like a spring. He maintains his position there." It means a takeback motion of hands and feet. When you look at the actual hit, it also feels like the spring is coming loose.

The third stage is as follows. "After the pitch is finally released, Lee Jung-hoo moves forward towards the pitcher. He releases the spring and hits a batting average of 0.316 OPS of 0.893, which is the No. 1 double (11) in the entire National League," MLB.com said. "He is a style that you rarely see in MLB."
MLB.com said Lee Jung-hoo's swing was combined with an open stance with a large gap between his feet like Rafael Devers (Boston Red Sox), Shohei Ohtani's (LA Dodgers) toe tap, and Freddie Freeman's (LA Dodgers) uppercut-style swing.

Of course, Lee told MLB.com , "Everything is about timing. Whichever ball a pitcher throws, hitting depends on timing. When timing is good, we can create the right quality of contact to fit the bat against various pitches." 안전놀이터

There was talk of his father, KT Wiz coach Lee Jong-beom. Lee Jung-hoo said, "My dad never taught me how to play baseball. I made it." "Me and my dad do different kinds of moves when they swing. My hit is what I came up with," he said.

It is a swing that has been established naturally since the days of Hwimungo. Lee Jung-hoo said, "I started hitting like that in high school. That's how I am accumulating and doing so like a machine. I found improvement every year, and now I am doing this swing. I just kept doing it. The results were always there. I didn't have to change anything."

MLB.com praised Lee for being good at dealing with various types of pitches, regardless of whether he is a right or left pitcher. "I wasn't this open-stance player before. Now that I am a professional, I have started to change as I deal with different types of pitchers. I didn't mean to hit it like that, but naturally, I changed it like that," he said. "It all depends on experience."

Based on his experience in the Major League, he makes better swings. "Last year, pitchers tried to catch me at the beginning of the ball count. That's why I try to be more aggressive by using it," Lee said. "I know I can't be a home run hitter. I focus on line drive a lot. I still practice with my goal of hitting line drive every day."

After all, hitting is all about timing. Lee does not go against the bible of hitting. However, Lee has conquered the Major League by making "Lee Jung-hoo's swing."
