[MyDaily = Reporter Shim Hye-jin] San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo ripped through Coors Field, piling up an incredible 11 hits over three days and earning high praise from his manager and teammates.
On the 1st (Korean time) at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, in the 2026 Major League game against the Colorado Rockies, Lee started in right field and batted fifth against the Colorado Rockies. He finished the game 5-for-6 with two RBIs and one run scored.
That performance lifted his batting average from .287 to .304, finally clearing the .300 mark.
It was the first five-hit game of Lee’s 12-year professional career across the KBO and MLB.
He also became the third player this season in the majors to record five hits in a game, joining Ernie Clement and Yandy Díaz.
Lee had been placed on the injured list earlier with a back strain but returned to action on May 30 and collected four hits in his comeback game. He followed that with a multi-hit outing the next day and then a five-hit game, totaling 11 hits in three straight games.
Over that stretch, Lee posted a staggering .733 batting average.
The San Francisco Chronicle quoted manager Tony Vaitelo after the game, saying, \”I think this is the real Lee Jung-hoo,\” and repeatedly praising the outfielder.
Teammate Willy Adames added, \”Honestly, it feels like he’s going to get a hit every time he steps to the plate. It’s become so natural now. It’s truly amazing — like watching Luis Arraez.\”
