The Mercury News, a local San Francisco newspaper, commented that Jeong-hoo Lee, who the San Francisco team signed in the off-season with the hope of stabilizing the No. 1 batting order, is performing as well as expected in exhibition games.
Lee Jeong-hoo hit a hit in all five games he played.On March 1, he also had two hits for the first time against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The newspaper predicted, “The comparison sample is small (since it is early in the exhibition game), but considering that San Francisco used 9 players as number 1 hitters last year, Lee Jeong-hoo’s performance so far is an encouraging sign.”
This means that a clear number one attack leader has been found.
