Lee Jeong-hoo, no hits in 10 consecutive games The third Korean big leaguer in history

Written by Jeong-ho Kang and Hyun-soo Kim A new record if you hit in 11 consecutive games

Lee Jeong-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants), who is in his first season in the big league, hit in 10 consecutive games. This is the record for the most consecutive hits in a Korean major leaguer's debut season.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the number one hitter and center fielder in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks held at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 19th (Korean time) and produced a hit from his first at-bat.

Lee Jeong-hoo, who appeared as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the first inning, easily received a high changeup of 83 miles per hour (approximately 133.6 km) on the second pitch from opponent starting line Nelson. The batted ball slowly headed toward the shortstop, and Lee Jeong-hoo ran quickly and landed on first base.

With this infield hit, Lee Jeong-hoo extended his hitting streak, which started against the San Diego Padres on the 8th, to 10 games.

Lee Jung-hoo is the third Korean major leaguer to hit in 10 consecutive games in his MLB debut season. It was previously recorded by Jung-ho Kang (then of the Pittsburgh Pirates) in 2015 and Hyun-soo Kim (then of the Baltimore Orioles) in 2016.

Kang Jung-ho and Kim Hyun-soo failed to hit a hit in 11 consecutive games. If Lee Jung-hoo adds a hit in the next game, he can set a new record for consecutive hits in a Korean big league debut season.

Lee Jeong-hoo, who got off to a good start on the day, also hit a hit in his second at-bat in the third inning with one out and two on second base. He hit reliever Logan Allen's sinker on the third pitch on a 1-ball-1 strike. The batted ball, which hit the pitcher and deflected, headed toward the shortstop. Shortstop Jace Peterson blocked the hit with his body, but he missed the ball once. Meanwhile, Lee Jeong-hoo stepped on first base and was recorded as an infield hit, completing multiple hits (more than two hits in one game) in two at-bats. Lee Jeong-hoo recorded multiple hits in two consecutive games following the previous day's game against the Miami Marlins (2 hits in 4 at-bats). San Francisco is ahead 1-0 until the bottom of the fourth inning.
