San Francisco held a “Korean Heritage Night” event at the home game against the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) Chicago Cubs at Oracle Park in San Francisco on the 27th (Korea time). The club put Lee Jung-hoo at the forefront of the event, which had been suspended since COVID-19, by planning the event with the San Francisco Bay Korean Association.

Former coach Lee Jong-beom, who threw the first pitch, was training as a coach with the Texas Rangers before visiting the game to participate in the event with his son. Lee, who should have been the center of the game on the ground, was not listed on the roster. Due to left shoulder injury while playing defense, Lee ended this season early due to surgery on April 18.

Attention was drawn to left-handed pitching. Right-handed and left-handed Lee Jung-hoo wore a left-handed glove when playing defense because he throws a ball with his right hand, but wore it on his left hand on the day. He seems to have chosen him considering his left shoulder, which is undergoing rehabilitation.

“The son of the wind threw the first pitch to commemorate Korean night,” the San Francisco Giants said of the father and son’s first pitch. “The grandson of the wind (Lee Jung-hoo) fired the first pitch.” Lee Jung-hoo also wrote “Grandson of wind” on his glove after moving to San Francisco.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hoo, who ended his first year in the big league early this season, played in 37 games with a batting average of 0.262, two homers, eight RBIs, 15 points, and an on-base percentage of 0.310 slugging percentage.
