Looking ahead to the spring camp in San Francisco on the 9th (Korea time), the U.S. sports media 'The Athletic' predicted that Lee Jung-hoo would do his part.
The Athletic highlighted that `San Francisco already knew Lee Jung-hoo would spend his first major league season as an adaptor.'
San Francisco signed a six-year, $113 million (about 165 billion won) mega contract with Lee Jung-hoo ahead of the 2024 season.
However, Lee Jung-hoo was injured before the first half was over. Lee Jung-hoo went 38 for 145 with 158 at-bats in 37 games, hit 262 with two home runs and a .31 slugging percentage. He ended the season early, leaving an unimpressive report card compared to the ransom.
Nevertheless, San Francisco had higher expectations than concerns about Lee Jung-hoo.
The Athletic said 'Lee Jung-hoo injured his left shoulder. It enters the second year of a six-year, $113 million contract. It's almost all over again,' he explained.
Then 'Before he was out for the season, Lee Jung-hoo was positioning himself as an above-average defender in the center field position. Lee Jung-hoo's at-bat was improving every week.
It was understood that Lee Jung-hoo was adjusting smoothly to the Major League and improving his skills.

The Major League's official website, MLB.com , also pointed out Lee Jung-hoo as a key San Francisco outfielder who will play in the new season.
MLB.com added 'Lee Jung-hoo was San Francisco's biggest free agent in the offseason last year. However, he injured his shoulder in May and ended the season early'
MLB.com will participate 100% in spring training after this. If he can recover the offense that made him a star player for seven seasons in the KBO League, San Francisco will get a big boost.'"
