Lee Jeong-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants), who is about to make his major league debut, arrived in San Diego, the away venue where the first game will be held.
On the 28th (Korean time), San Francisco announced through the club's SNS that the players had arrived in San Diego, California, USA via a chartered flight.
The first page of the photo was decorated by Lee Jeong-hoo. Lee Jeong-hoo was seen coming down the stairs of a chartered plane wearing a white shirt, black pants, and white sneakers.
San Francisco spent a huge sum of $113 million over six years in the off-season to recruit Lee Jeong-hoo, and such expectations were also revealed in the pre-opening photo.
Jeong-hoo Lee is expected to play in the 2024 Major League Opening Game held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, USA at 5:10 am on the 29th.
He was fixed as the number one hitter and center fielder in the exhibition game, and is likely to start in the opening game as well.
Lee Jeong-hoo raised expectations by playing an active role in the exhibition game with a batting average of 0.343 (12 hits in 35 at-bats), 1 home run, and 5 RBIs. San Diego's starting pitcher is Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish, who also started in the Seoul Series last week. Lee Jung-hoo has experience facing Darvish in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Japan game held at Tokyo Dome last year. At that time, he returned to bat twice, hitting a fly ball to left field in his first at bat and a timely hit to right field in his second at bat. In San Diego, Kim Ha-seong (29), a senior who played with Lee Jeong-hoo during his Kiwoom days, also belongs to San Diego. Ha-seong Kim, who has already played in two games of the Seoul Series, will appear in the opening game on the U.S. mainland today. 스포츠토토맨
