Manager Bob Melvin also praised Lee Jung-hoo for making a hit against a left-handed pitcher as "fantastic."

Lee Jung-hoo hit two hits against Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed starting pitcher James Paxton in an away game of the U.S. Major League Baseball at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on the 2nd (Korea time).

Lee Jung-hoo, who had two hits in five at-bats on the day, recorded his second multi-hit of the season and raised his batting average to 0.316.

Lee Jung-hoo, who has played five away games since the opening of the regular league in the U.S. mainland on the 29th of last month, has completely shaken off concerns about dealing with left-handed pitchers and is highly trusted by the club and the bench.

Paxton, who won the game with five scoreless innings, dedicated two of the four hits to Lee Jung-hoo.

Lee Jung-hoo pushed Paxton's outside fastball to the left in the first inning, and then hit Paxton's outside high fastball to first base in the fifth inning to roll in front of center field.

Despite his team's 8-3 loss, Melvin said after the game, "It continues to be fantastic," when asked to evaluate Lee Jung-hoo's performance on the day. "It's impressive because I've proved that I can hit a left-handed pitcher that I've never seen since the exhibition game of the spring camp, and I can hit anywhere."

Coach Melvin also showed satisfaction with Lee Jung-hoo's batting, who always plays with a confident swing.

Lee Jung-hoo hit his first career home run in the big league against left-handed relief pitcher Tom Cosgrove in a game against San Diego on the 31st of last month, and is currently doing well against left-handed pitchers with a batting average of 0.600.

Lee Jung-hoo's hits so far are four in the center field and one in the left and right field.

Each MLB team, which is good at analyzing power, is confronting Lee Jung-hoo with a defensive strategy that puts the shortstop closer to the second base and moves the third baseman to the shortstop's position whenever he appears at bat.
