Lee Jung-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants) had only one bat, but he turned strongly in 286 days.
Lee Jung-hoo made his second live bet in a spring camp training session at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Arizona on the 19th (Korea Standard Time).
Lee Jung-hoo just looked at right-handed pitcher Hayden Birdsong's three missing balls, and forced a hit when he left the strike zone on the fourth pitch.
He hit a ball that completely escaped, so the bat broke and became a foul, and Lee Jung-hoo came out of the batter's box with a regretful look.
Lee Jung-hoo, who was waiting for the next at-bat for about 20 minutes on the spot, went to outfield defense training on the story that the pitchers who had prepared for the live pitch met all the pitches.
Soon after, he went live batting again at the auxiliary stadium and waited for his turn while watching the ball of left-handed pitcher Elkris Olivares.
However, this time again, he just waited and couldn't enter the batter's box and finished training.
The last time Lee Jung-hoo faced a pitcher's ball at bat was against the Colorado Rockies on May 9 last year.
Based on this day, it was the first time in 286 days that Lee Jung-hoo swung his bat at the pitcher's ball at bat.
At the time, Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a fly ball to left field in the eighth inning against Jake Bird, and ended the season with a shoulder injury during defense in the top of the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds on May 13.
Since then, the shoulder has fully recovered through surgery and rehabilitation, but there was no opportunity to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher other than the batting ball. 바카라사이트
Lee Jung-hoo, who took the batter's box for the first time after surgery through live batting the day before, the first day of the entire team's call-up, finished training without ever giving a bat to six balls thrown by two pitchers.
On the second day of the entire call-up, he swung his bat once, but he couldn't get caught in the castle.
"I was going to hit some balls today, but I couldn't because all three of my balls fell off the ball," Lee said after the training. "I turned the bat thinking that I should hit the last ball unconditionally, but that was also a ball. Originally, I had to hit the ball next time, but there were not enough pitchers, and as the left-handed pitcher's ball fell off a little (to prevent injury at the auxiliary ballpark), I was told not to hit the left-handed batter, so I was excluded."
As for swinging the bat in a long time, he said, "I wanted to hit a lot, but I couldn't afford it. When pitchers pitch in the bullpen, I think they should go and watch it. Still, we have exhibition games in the future, and we have more chances to hit live, so we can prepare then."
