Lee Jung-hoo (26) is receiving rave reviews from the local media.
The San Francisco Giants won 5-4 against the New York Yankees in the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular league at Yankee Stadium in New York on the 14th (Korea time).
On the day, Lee started as center fielder for the third batter. Lee made two hits (two homers), four RBIs and one walk from three times at bat. After the game, Lee was selected as the MVP of the Player of the Game. 토토사이트
The U.S. media "The Athletic" spotlighted Lee Jung-hoo, who was very active on the 14th, saying, "Lee Jung-hoo is playing like a superstar that San Francisco so longed for."
The media talked about the most recent showdown between the two teams before the series took place. The media said, "The last time San Francisco visited Yankee Stadium was in 2023. The Yankees' Aaron Judge hit a home run against San Francisco. San Francisco shouted, "We need superstars" throughout the 2022-23 offseason. They were aiming for Judge, who hit a home run against them. Judge grew up to be a fan of San Francisco, but he was never signed. "In the 2023 opener, Judge gave San Francisco a home run and made that choice painful," he explained.
"But now I have an afterthought about this story. I headed back to Yankee Stadium in San Francisco over the weekend. The atmosphere was different this time. And maybe it's the superstar that they've been longing for so much," he said.
"Of course, it's too early to call Lee a MLB superstar. He has not played 100 at-bats this season, nor has he finished 200 at-bats in MLB history. It is premature, ridiculous, unfair, and irresponsible to compare him to a future Hall of Famer (Jersey) and a two-time MVP," the media reported.
"But for now, Lee has a pretty convincing 'superstar' side. He is the kind of player that excites San Francisco fans, irritates and unnerves opposing fans, and contributes the most to the Giants' 11-4 record. Even more so after Sunday's 5-4 win over San Francisco with his two-homer performance at Yankee Stadium, and sealing his third consecutive series win on the road," he reported.
"San Francisco chased Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa, Bryce Harper, and Shohei Ohtani, but failed. As a result, it failed to cool down the fans' desire for a superstar. Of course, we don't know whether Lee will become a star who will make a splash in the baseball community for years or whether his current career will be the pinnacle of his career. However, it reminds us of the longing for a superstar."
