Jung Hoo Lee's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee hit the first home run of his MLB career in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Padres. It was part of a six-run eighth-inning outburst for the Giants. Lee also had a sacrifice fly, going 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. The 25-year-old has now hit safely in the first three games of the season, batting .333 (4-for-12) with four RBI and one run scored. Hitting atop the San Francisco lineup and getting on base plenty should prove fruitful for the former KBO star, especially with the power the Giants have been putting up behind him to start the year. He's surprisingly rostered in just 69% of leagues, so managers in need of help at the outfield position should consider picking him up.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (hamstring) and catcher Patrick Bailey (hand) are both back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Lee is in center field and batting leadoff, while Bailey is behind the dish and hitting seventh for the Gigantes. The 25-year-old Lee was held out of the spring lineup for a few days after tweaking his hamstring last week. It wasn't a serious injury, and he's fully expected to be ready for Opening Day on March 28 versus the San Diego Padres as the team's leadoff man and starting center fielder after inking a six-year, $113 million deal to come over from Korea. Bailey took a foul tip off his right hand over a week ago in the Cactus League and is now fully recovered. He struggled at the plate at the end of his rookie season and should only be an option in two-catcher fantasy leagues in 2024.

San Francisco Giants rookie outfielder Jung Hoo Lee (hamstring) is dealing with left-hamstring tightness in camp and will be limited for the next two to three days. Lee was pulled from Wednesday's Cactus League game early as a precaution. It's something to watch for the 25-year-old as he prepares for his first season in the big leagues, but it appears to be minor, so it would be a surprise if Lee isn't ready for Opening Day on March 28. Lee will be San Fran's starting center fielder in 2024 after signing a six-year, $113 million deal after seven strong seasons in Korea. He has elite contact ability and should score plenty of runs for fantasy managers at the top of the Giants' batting order. Lee doesn't have much power, though. Some have worried about how he'll handle velocity in the big leagues, but he's been impressive so far in spring training.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is enjoying himself a quality spring after signing a six-year, $113 million deal with the club this offseason following a seven-year career in the KBO. The 25-year-old is hitting .348 (8-for-23) with one homer, one stolen base, three walks, and three strikeouts alongside a .945 OPS across 26 trips to the plate. Lee doesn't bring a ton of home-run power to the table after he hit just six homers in 86 games in the KBO last season but consistently posted massive batting averages, posting a career .340 average in 884 games with Nexen and Kiwoom of the KBO. He also stole 69 bases in that time. He offers some doubles and triples power and speed but his value will come from whether he can put up big run-scoring totals at or near the top of the Giants' lineup this season.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee made his much-awaited big-league debut on Tuesday, hitting leadoff in a 10-10 Cactus League tie with the Mariners. Lee went 1-for-3 with a single and a strikeout, sparking a five-run first inning. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as the team's routine leadoff hitter after signing a six-year, $113 million contract this offseason. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how his skills translate from Korea to the big leagues, but he should offer a good batting average with some speed.
