It was a super catch that no one thought was possible. San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo’s defense has improved.
Lee Jung-hoo started in center field against the Philadelphia Phillies of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 4 (KST) and went 1-for-5 with a walk. His batting average was 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Lee had a disappointing day at the plate. He reached base on an infield single, but gave up a foul ball in his second at-bat of the game. It was the latest in a string of bad luck for Lee, who had three home runs in the last three games against Boston due to the wind and Fenway Park’s odd structure.
However, the Red Sox put on a defensive performance that stunned the American broadcasters. In the bottom of the first inning, Kyle Schwarber’s 27-degree launch angle and 105.5 mph fastball was chased to the fence for a long ball. 카지노사이트 It had a 9.5 percent expected run rate and would have been a home run in four of the 30 major league ballparks. It was a start.
The most amazing defense came in the bottom of the fourth inning.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Schwarber chased down a hard hit ball from leadoff hitter Yohan Rojas and threw it away. It was a slower pitch than Schwarber’s earlier hit, 101.7 mph, but it had a 20-degree launch angle. But Lee kept his eyes on the ball and stretched out his glove. The tip of his glove caught the pitch and completed the double play. On the mound, starter Jordan Hicks raised his arms to show his appreciation for Lee’s super catch. The hitter, Yohan Rojas, also stared at Lee as he walked back to the dugout.
The American broadcasters were impressed with Lee’s defense. “I didn’t think it was possible to catch it, I didn’t think I had a chance to catch it,” said one of the U.S. broadcasters, “He stuck his glove all the way out and the ball was at the end of his glove.”
Another commentator praised Lee’s super catch.
Another commentator said, “He sprinted to left-center field and made the catch. I think we need to talk about the speed of his pursuit. It was a pitch that everyone thought was a triple. It came like a bullet, but he didn’t take his eyes off the ball and blocked the long ball,” he said, praising Lee’s defense.
According to Statcast, in the fourth inning, Lee ran 87 feet (25.6 meters), and his sprint speed was 28.3 feet per second. In kilometers per hour, 메이저사이트 this translates to a speed of 31.1 kilometers per hour. That’s over the speed limit for school zones in Korea.
