The San Francisco Giants are pleased with the performances of their rookie Jung-hoo Lee. In his first three games in MLB, Lee has already had four hits, four RBIs, and one home run against the San Diego Padres at PETCO Park.
The Giants have emerged victorious in two of their first three games in the four-game opening series of the season. A significant contributor to these wins has been the rookie sensation Jung-hoo Lee. His stellar performance against the Padres has not only endeared him to the fans but also injected a sense of optimism into the Giants' clubhouse.
Lee's first home run in his budding MLB career was a moment of immense pride for him and his family. As his Giants teammates celebrated, drenched in beer while sitting on a cart, the significance of the moment was not lost on Lee. His family had traveled all the way from South Korea to witness his debut in the MLB, adding an emotional touch to his achievement.
The Giants are trying to compete this 2024 season
The Giants signed Jung-hoo Lee to a 6-year, $113 million contract in the offseason, being one of the best players in the KBO for the last couple of years. The team also signed other players like reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell, third baseman Matt Chapman, and power-hitter Jorge Soler.
The team is trying to compete in a star-studded NL West Division, with the Dodgers being the favorites to win the division and the World Series after adding Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Teoscar Hern�ndez, etc.
At the same time, the always-dangerous Padres still have a core of excellent players like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado. Also, the reigning NL Champions, Arizona Diamondbacks, are trying to reach the World Series again after losing against the Texas Rangers last October.
