Who Is Jung Hoo Lee? 

This is the first time Farhan has done something that excites me as a Giants fan.

Glad to have this man on my favorite team.

Welcome to SF my fellow Korean brother

Also need to consider Lee batted .429 in the recent WBC and went 2-4 against elite Japan pitching

He has some incredible hit tools. If he can tap into some more power and adapt to MLB pitching then he is gonna be very fun to watch

It'll be hard to surpass Ichiro, but let's see if this dude makes it to Cooperstown! Hopefully, he won't have to be a "Korean Ichiro", but a proper "Jung Ho Lee"

hes handsome like a kpop idol

I can’t wait to see him play! It’s great to see a “pure hitter” who hits for average, hits, walks and also has some speed. He won’t hit a lot of home runs but that’s not his game. A great pickup for the Giants for sure!

Welcome to the Giants! Excited to see him in orange and black.

I only know this kid because I play OOTP 24, which allows you to play as a baseball team and updates you on upcoming prospects and posted players. Anyways, Godson of Wind, hard to strikeout, still VERY young, excellent range i the outfield, and high OBP which are skills built for this park. Excited to see my experience in the video game come to real life as he has tons of potential

C'mon Padres! Do it! Even if he doesn't bat that well at first, the clubhouse camaraderie would be great if you bring Kim's homie to San Diego!

My Favorite Ha - Seong Kim Yu Darvish Jung - hoo Lee

lee rakes against yoshinobu yamamoto. He also plays really well in international tournaments so I think velo will be fine for him.

Finally we have pure first hitter😊

Please don't compare him to Ichiro. I get it his style is similar, but Ichiro is on a different league of his own.

Giants fans will be boosting the views of this video. Hopefully he lights it up at Oracle next season. 😎

man has the same bat throw as his father. great video mate enjoyed it from down under

Welcome to THE GIANTS!!!!!

Oracle park bound baby!!!

I think he can hit at least .800+OPS and 3.0WAR every year in MLB.

I will explain by comparing him with HA SUNG and jUNG HO from MLB who played for KBO. I'm a Korean. It has better contact ability than HA SUNG and has similar power. The power is lower than jUNG HO, but the contact is excellent. His ability to handle the ball quickly has also been verified through WBC. At least this player won't have trouble hitting. However, although the defense is not bad, it would be difficult for a corner outfielder to hit more than 20 home runs. He's not as quick on his feet as ichiro was in the past. You can think of him as a type like Tony Gwynn, who was active in the past. The mentality is great. Strengths: Contact ability, great mentality. Cons: Speed ​​and power are not overwhelming.

Good video, another example of why being a shortstop really just means your the best fielder on the team, besides catcher. I mean tatis had like 14 oaa in right field as a below average mlb shortstop.

If the plate discipline translates to the big leagues, he'll be a good no.3 outfielder. Someone in the mold of Shin Soo Choo, perhaps. Signing Lee was likely as much a marketing move as it is a roster improvement for the Giants. Ichiro had tons of infield hits. He's a righty but batted left handed to reach first base faster. MLB throws faster, but the infield defense isn't as tight as it once was.

Great signing for the G Men

Welcome to San Francisco!

As a korean living in Texas now who watches both KBO and MLB, I know there is almost no chance that his success will be close to Kim's success in the MLB. His power was not even top tier in KBO, which means he has to hit like .310 ~ .330 AVG and over .390 OBP to be a valuable player in the MLB, which I think is going to be very difficult and challenging for him. But Lee's potential is definitely amazing, and I still believe in his contact skills and his ability as a player. (Also, the gold glove in KBO is not given for the defense. Gold glove is given to the best player in each position, including hitting and defense.)

Let’s give him some time to develop in the MLB! Hoping for the best. Let’s not forget he is the “Grandson of the wind 💨 “ 😂

The scouts, general managers and presidents of San Francisco are not fools. They are much more professional people than you are. They don't invest more than $100 million in low-quality players.

San Francisco Giants Dumbies How can you catch an unverified Asian outfielder overpay at such an outrageous high price? He is very likely to struggle with Major League Baseball's fastballs. Koreans are 100% sure that they will succeed in the Major League, but Major League pitchers should find and target Lee Jung-hoo very persistently. I personally expect Lee Jung-hoo to fail in the Major League

He is a Padre

Welcome to the San Francisco Giants

Welcome to the Giants!!!

He’ll need some time to get adjusted to the velocity but not a big deal as ha sung has done so.

The concern of "jung Ho Lee" is a lack of power Because KBO's use ball is 3.7g light. You need to hit harder in the majors.

He'll be a 270. BA and 10 homerun a season hitter. Countless KBO hitters struggled in the MLB and I don't see much difference with Lee.

Even though yes the KBO is AA/AAA levels of competition we've seen plenty of MILB rookies come in and destroy major league pitching, Edouard Julien just had a really good season in his rookie year so whos to say that Lee cant do the same if not better?

Lee gonna hit over 300.

Jung hoo Lee needs too join Kim on the Padres 😎🤙

Welcome to the Giants🎉

I swear Korea has a player named Bum Ho Lee

His father was a monster I have never seen... his debut was 1993 when he got Mvp in final and in the following year, 0.393, 196 hits, 84 steals, 113 runs, OBP 0.452, OPS 1.033 (All 1st) a way far from second even 18 homeruns in 126 games. He was a leadhitter and shortstop. His defense was brilliant and strong. He tried to do what nobody seemed to try. One interesting story was he has been all positions except a pitcher. I can remember he caught a runner tring to steal second base as a catcher. I thought he was fxxx crazy. He spent another four similar seasons to 1994 in korea. Kbo was too boring and small for him. That's why he moved to Japan. He was the first player who moved to upper league as a hitter in korea.

Jung hoo lee is greatest player in KBO i believe jung hoo will be good player in MLB!!!! plz,give him more love ♥

This boy has a great bat control. Almost Ichio-like. In the battle's box, he stands kind of like Ichiro, too. He's wearing #51 for a reason. I bet he will be a decent major leaguer immediately if he comes over next year.

Lee’s dad, jongbeom, was the ss goat in kbo. Even haseong kim is using his back number “7”. This dna is just different.

山本と同じ地区のチームに加入して対戦してほしい 山本はジョンフに打たれているからリベンジしたがっているかもしれない

He’s going to be a Met

Welcome the SFGiants

Welcome to the Giants

just signed with SF 6 years $113 mil

Let's go boyyeeeeeeeee. 👊💥 Ichi-Two, we gotchu bruh.

1:16

Number 51, We'll take him!

Thank you for the good video.

I think Lee Jung-hoo has the most star power out of any other Korean players.

Would love to see this young man in a Padre uniform ..

한국의 이치로가 아니라 아시아의 이정후가 돼주길

It's all good but can he do it in mlb level? We need pitching

The Giants will win the World Series.❤❤❤

fact - He has better contact skills than Kim Ha-sung. His nickname is baseball genius It was a brief slump in '23, because of the change in form to adapt to MLB. After a few weeks, I perfectly adapted and started performing again. I can say with confidence, he's the best hitter in KBO history.

Hey man, he is Shogo Akiyama, not Ichiro.

타격은 천재

Unlike Ohtani win now signing, Giants are still a few pieces away from being legitimate contenders, he will have time to adjust with less pressure. Addendum to concerns though, Oracle park is a lefty power killer to everyone not named Bonds. Great signing for Giants though, youngest premier bat available, key word youngest.

KBO is AA or AAA level? Put it to the test! Let's have the KBO teams versus the AA or AAA teams of the MLB. I bet the KBO will KILL the AAA teams.

150킬로 이상 최근 3년간 타율 3할3푼3리에다가 통산 3할4푼 젊은 나이에 가장 정교한 타자고 크보에 오는 용병 메이저 5선발 -트리플 중위권 투수들에게 상대 타율이 3할 2푼에 육박합니다 수비는 크보에서 가장 좋고 메이저에서 상위권으로 찍히는 박해민 바로 아래아래 3위권 수준을 꾸준히 유지하며 메이저 대입해도 수비 레인지는 상위 25-30퍼센트는 충분히 해주는 선수입니다 다만 장타와 송구는 메이저 평균에 조금 못미치는 상위 70퍼센트 수준을 유지하고 종합하면 메이저 에서 30 퍼센트 근처의 활약을 해주는 팀내 최고 유망주 수준의 플레이 수준을 예측해도 좋을거에요

shohei just got $700million from dodgers

Can he hit 95+mph fastballs?

Next ichiro

영상 감사합니다 한국인이고 kbo리그의 수준이 낮다는걸 압니다. 하지만 이정후 선수는 킹캉 김하성 을 뛰어넘는 타격능력을 갖고있고 적응만 성공적으로 한다면 아메리칸 드림을 이룰것 입니다

Although he is a great player, he need time to adapt MLB pitcher's ball. I hope Giants fans will evaluate Jung-hoo Lee after watching him for at least two years like Padres fans did to Ha-sung Kim

He is not Jung Ho, Jung Hoo(Hu)

yo yo yo, ya'll prophets....bam, new subscribore.....

That Kiwoom teams should have won a championship!

Welcome to sf

well... he is good at making hit although he'll need some time to settle in, but I'm sure that giants won't regret this decision -recommandation from fan of KBO, Lee and Kim's previous league(and also Ryu and Bae's)

客観的に見て彼のコンタクト能力は吉田と同等に値すると思う。彼がMLBで求められてるのはイチローのようなハイアベレージの1番打者だと思う。 李が非力である事は外野手として致命的であるが、守備、走塁、アベレージこの3つで高い水準でプレーすることでチームの信頼を得られるだろう。

I want PADRES to resign Korean Jung - hoo Lee to 13 years deal Extension with PADRES in 2024

이정후는 한국의 슈퍼스타다 샌프란시스코는 복받은줄알아라 한국의 모든야구팬들이 이제 앞으로 자이언츠를 응원할것이다

He is a much better hitter than Ha Sung-kim

I hate when videos show the highlights. I'm more interested in the lowlights. Gives a better picture, lol.

ichiro is great player but South korea dosen't like ichiro because of past WBC History why would you even call jung ho lee the ichiro of south korea????

Ok

방망이는 김하성보다 낫지만 수비 파워가 걱정이네

4:54 I'm sorry to say that it's more like between A and AA. I'd say pithcing is A, batting is high A, fielding is A, baserunning is AA, and arm strength is about high school level. Players from KBO are harder to predict than players from NPB. That said, comp would be Angel Pagan, Adam Eaton, Ichiro's Marlins days or Norichika Aoki with slightly better defence.

He's a good AA player at best... Good luck with 94 mph in at your hands.

OVERPAID Farhan Zaidi will regret this stupid deal

He won't be a Philadelphia Phillies i tell you that .. they not into elite Latino or Asian players . They into ben Chapman type of players. Two championships in over a hundred years and you wonder why

I highly doubt he is anything more than a serviceable 4th OF in his rookie year and may finish his major league career with a below average OPS+. I don't see him ever hitting more than 15 HRs a year. this kid is all hype, I bet... with no bite.

padres want him badly!

show his daddy with him

You mean the next Ichiro. When is he coming to the NY Yankees?

がんばってー！

SOUTH KOREA'S ICHIRO? REALLY! While the numbers you talk may be accurate, you are CLEARLY someone who is young & ignorant of the relationship between the Japanese and Koreans. You should probably refrain from thinking what you said was some sort of compliment.

his name is leejunghoo, not jung hoo lee.

Giants grossly overpaid for this unproven kid. Too small, and not fast enough, ... not to mention the insufficient power. BUST!!!!!

It will fail with a 100 percent chance. It's not as fast as Ichiro, and the ability to cope with fastballs is not good. San Francisco is really shit happen.

At best, he'll be like a Steven Kwan if he's lucky.

한국인 발음인데

Next Tony Gwynn? Blasphemous

이정후는 뛰어난 볼넷 /삼진 비율을 보유하고 있습니다 특히 삼진비율이 매우낮은 타자입니다 하지만 빠른공에 약점을 가지고있어 이부분이 관건이네요
