Major league clubs said, "Major league clubs are looking forward to Jeong-hoo Lee's solid outfield defense, “There will be interest in his career record of more walks (383) than strikeouts (304),” he analyzed.

He also predicted, “If the swing of left-handed hitter Jeong-hoo Lee and the characteristics of Yankee Stadium, where the right fence (from home) is short, the number of home runs will increase,” and “The Yankees will also try to recruit Jeong-hoo Lee.”

He said, “The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants, where Kim Ha-seong is located, are also related to him.”
