Lee Jong-bum’s son Lee Jong-hoo promises to challenge USA next off-season
The MLB official introduced outfielder Lee Jong-hu (Ki-um), son of former Chunichi Lee Jong-bum, as a presence that “rocks the FA market in coming out.” The 24-year-old who shines as an MVP this season and aims to challenge for the majors using the posting system next offseason is attracting attention.
Now out, Trey Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Jacob de Grom and other star players have been transferred one after another, but “If you think the FA market is wild this winter, you should look forward to next winter.” Along with Angels pitchers Shohei Ohtani, Rafael Devers and Manny Machado, Lee Jeong Hoo was considered a “feature”.
349 batting average, 23 homers and 113 RBI this season. Only the MVP batter was reported to have said, “It was great news that I told the team I wanted to move to MLB via publication.” Last season, he hit just 32 of 627 at bats, while walking 66,342 among all hitters in KBO history with 3,000 or more at bats.
KBO hitters often struggle with MLB fastballs, but it was already highly regarded that “power, meat power, and batting patience will help him when he plays in the majors.”
