‘Grandson of the Wind’ Lee Jeong-hoo is receiving a lot of attention from the U.S

The U.S. is paying keen attention to Lee Jung-hoo 25, Kiwoom Heroes.

CBS Sports, a U.S. sports media, introduced three players to pay attention to in the KBO League and Japanese professional baseball ahead of the Major League posting on the 29th. Lee Jung-hoo was mentioned in Korea, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shota Imana were mentioned in Japan.

CBS Sports said of Lee Jung-hoo, “He has the nickname ‘the grandson of the wind’ after his father Lee Jong-beom, who was the KBO League MVP winner,” adding, “Lee Jung-hoo recorded a career batting average of 0.340 on-base percentage, 0.407 slugging percentage, 0.491.” “He hit 65 home runs and stole 69 bases, a left-handed batter.”

CBS Sports paid attention to Lee Jung-hoo’s contact ability. It is predicted that Lee Jung-hoo, who reigned as a high-quality teaching hitter in the KBO League, will be able to succeed if he goes through an adjustment period in the Major League. The media said, “Lee Jung-hoo has walked more than strikeouts in the past five years. He has shown above-average contact ability throughout his career, he said. “It may take time to adapt to the new environment of the Major League Baseball.”

However, injuries are a problem. Lee Jung-hoo suffered an ankle injury in July, and eventually ended the season early on the operating table. CBS Sports pointed out, “Lee Jung-hoo should wait and see what kind of ankle fracture he will have.”

Until now, the prevailing view has been that Korean batters will not be able to adapt to the fastballs of Major League pitchers. For this reason, there were some cases of recruitment as a loanee or a large-scale agent. CBS Sports also said, “There is always skepticism about whether KBO batters can adapt to Major League pitchers’ balls.”

But there is a success story. Kim Ha-sung, who plays for the San Diego Padres, is the main character. Kim Ha-sung also had a hard time attacking the fastball, but he learned the ball in his eyes during the game and hit a fast notice with a speed of more than 150km. Lee Jung-hoo is also unlikely to be a big problem if he adapts to the Major League.

Teams showing interest in Lee Jung-hoo are the San Francisco Giants and San Diego. CBS Sports said, “San Francisco has been scouting Lee Jung-hoo on a large scale, and we need a center fielder at this point. San Diego is also said to be interested in Lee Jung-hoo. It can be an advantage considering that he was a teammate with Kim Ha-sung at the Heroes, he said.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto said, “I won the Pacific League Most Valuable Player Award in Japan’s professional baseball league and the Eiji Sawamura Award, which is given to the best pitcher. The New York Mets are also interested in Yamamoto as the recruitment of Senga Godai leads to success. The New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego, San Francisco and Kansas City Royals are also rumored to have scouted Yamamoto, he said.

“The Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco, San Diego and Philadelphia are showing interest in Imanaga. Although he is 30 years old, he started in the World Baseball Classic against the United States and performed well with a career-high 2.96 ERA.
