In San Francisco, the new home of Lee Jeong-hoo (25), Lee Jeong-hoo is by far the most interesting person.
Lee Jung-hoo signed a six-year contract with San Francisco worth $113 million and achieved his dream of advancing to the big leagues.
MLB.com said, “San Francisco’s signing of KBO League superstar Lee Jeong-hoo is a major contract this offseason.
He pointed out, "After Masataka Yoshida signed with the Boston Red Sox in 2023, a hitter with excellent contact ability has advanced to the big leagues for two consecutive years."
He continued, "It is noteworthy whether Lee Jeong-hoo can create a success story like Yoshida.
The predicted performance for Lee Jeong-hoo is high, and ‘Steamer’ said that Lee Jeong-hoo will be in the top 10 in MLB batting average.”
‘Steamer’ is a player expected performance calculation system introduced by FanGraphs, an MLB baseball statistics website.
According to the data, it was predicted that Lee Jung-hoo would play in 134 games this season and achieve a batting average of 0.291
An on-base percentage of 0.354, a slugging percentage of 0.431, an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.785, and a win contribution compared to replacement player (WAR) of 3.5.
In terms of batting average alone, he ranks 10th overall in MLB, and his strikeout rate of 9.1% is the second lowest in the big leagues, following the 7.1% of Luis Araez (Miami Marlins), who won the batting title for the past two consecutive years.
Even though he had not yet debuted, even a sophisticated player performance prediction system predicted Lee Jeong-hoo's success.
Lee Jeong-hoo leaves for Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, where the San Francisco Spring Camp is held, via Incheon International Airport this afternoon.
Meanwhile, MLB.com selected the starting pitcher's ERA as a factor to watch for San Francisco's National League West rival, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers signed a number of starting pitchers, including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and James Paxton, in this Stove League.
In addition, Walker Buehler is scheduled to return after completing rehabilitation this season, and Shohei Ohtani could also take the mound as early as next year.
MLB.com predicted, "Last year, even though the Dodgers won more than 100 games, their starting ERA was 4.57, ranking 20th overall.
It was even more serious in the postseason," and predicted, "This year will probably look different."
