Korean Cultural Heritage Night Sipho… In 2018, PO was missed due to shoulder surgery.
Lee Jeong-hoo (25, San Francisco Giants), whose first big league season ended early due to left shoulder surgery, returned to the field for the first time in a long time.
Lee Jeong-hoo gave a shot during the 2024 MLB home game against the Chicago Cubs held at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, USA on the 27th (Korean time). 토토사이트 순위
It was an event organized to commemorate 'Korean Cultural Heritage Night', and the first pitch was thrown by former LG Twins coach Lee Jong-beom, Lee Jeong-hoo's father.
Lee Jeong-hoo was unable to wear a glove on his left hand due to surgery on this day, but he placed his left arm on his knee when giving a gift or raised his left hand to give a thumbs-up sign when taking a commemorative photo.
He is the only Korean player in San Francisco, and the fact that he could not play in the game that day seemed to leave a deep regret.
Lee Jung-hoo said, "It's a shame that it's the night of Korean cultural heritage, but it's an injury."
This is not the first time that Lee Jung-hoo has to watch a game he wants to play from afar.
Lee Jeong-hoo also underwent left shoulder surgery in the 2018 season while playing for the Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom) in the KBO League.
Lee Jeong-hoo, who injured his shoulder while playing defense in the bottom of the 9th inning of the second game of the postseason semi-playoffs, left the fall stage.
In the end, the team made it through the semi-playoffs and was unable to participate in the famous match against SK Wyverns (now SSG Landers) in the playoffs.
Nexen showed tenacity by dropping games 1 and 2 and winning games 3 and 4, but lost in game 5 in the bottom of the 10th overtime.
However, this experience seemed to be a remedy for Lee Jung-hoo.
Lee Jung-hoo shortened the rehabilitation period, which was expected to be 6 months at the time, to 4 months and played normally in the opening game of the 2019 regular season the following year.
After that, he reigned as the best hitter in the KBO League for 5 seasons without any aftereffects from the surgery until 2023 and advanced to the major league this year.
A similar blueprint can be drawn for 'big leaguer' Lee Jung-hoo.
The plan is for Lee Jung-hoo to shorten the rehabilitation period, which is currently scheduled to be 6 months, to sufficiently improve his physical condition during the winter off-season and then smoothly enter the spring camp, exhibition games, and opening entry.
