Jeong-hoo Lee, ranked 9th among NL rookies by American media Imanaga 1st place, Yamamoto 3rd place
Above-average defense and low strikeout rate are well-received
Lee Jeong-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants) was named to the ‘Top 10’ of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) National League (NL) rookie rankings.
The American sports media The Athletic ranked Lee Jung-hoo 9th on the 11th (Korean time) when ranking NL rookies.
Last winter, Lee Jeong-hoo entered the big league stage by signing a six-year contract with San Francisco worth a total of $113 million (approximately 155.1 billion won).
In 36 games this season, Lee Jeong-hoo achieved a batting average of 0.262, 2 home runs, 8 RBIs, 2 stolen bases, 15 runs, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.641. He has shown a good trend recently by producing hits in 6 consecutive games.
The Athletic said, “Center fielder Lee Jeong-hoo showed above-average defensive ability. “The low swing and strikeout rate is very impressive,” he said.
The number one player in the NL rookie rankings is Japanese left-handed pitcher Shota Imanaga (Chicago Cubs), who is showing phenomenal performance. Imanaga appeared in 7 games this season and pitched 41⅔ innings, earning 5 wins and an ERA of 1.08.
The Athletic praised him, saying, “Imana is the frontrunner in the NL Rookie of the Year Award race and a strong NL Cy Young Award candidate,” and “His control and command are much better than what is known, and he rarely throws a misfire.” Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who entered MLB after signing a huge 12-year contract with the LA Dodgers worth $325 million (about 435.8 billion won) in December last year, was selected in third place. This year, Amamoto appeared in 8 games, pitched 42 innings, and recorded 4 wins, 1 loss, and an ERA of 2.79. He has been showing his true value recently by achieving quality starts (6 or more innings and 3 or fewer earned runs as a starter) in 4 consecutive games. Kim Ha-seong's teammate, San Diego star prospect Jackson Merrill, ranked 5th.
