Injured U.S. Major Leaguer Lee Jung-hoo (25, San Francisco Giants) made his first appearance on the mound at Oracle Park, San Francisco’s home stadium, on the 26th (local time).
Lee Jung-hoo caught the first pitch of his father, former LG Twins coach Lee Jong-beom, for the “Korean Heritage Night” prepared by the club before the home game against the Chicago Cubs.
Lee Jung-hoo, who entered MLB this year, hurt his shoulder after hitting hard against the fence in the top of the first inning of the home game against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 12th of last month.
He underwent surgery on the 4th after finding “structural damage” on his left shoulder, and eventually was unable to play this season.
After undergoing surgery on his left shoulder, Lee Jung-hoo wore a glove on his right hand and caught the ball thrown by his father.

Lee Jung-hoo has received a lot of credit from his father, Lee Jong-beom, but getting the first pitch in front of local fans at Oracle Park was a unique experience. “I think it will be a good time because it is my first time doing it,” he said with a smile.
On his injury, he said, “I’m recovering a lot. I’m wearing an assistive device now.” He added, “I’m rehabilitating in San Francisco, not in Arizona.”
Since the San Francisco Giants mostly train in Scottsdale, Arizona, where spring camps are located, other than the regular season, there was a possibility that Lee Jung-hoo’s rehabilitation would also be done in Arizona.
Regarding the match being held as a “Korean Heritage Night,” he said, “I’m sorry that I’m injured,” and vowed to “play next year.”
“It’s different to have this event with and without Korean players, but I think the club cared a lot,” he said, expressing his gratitude.
Lee Jung-hoo said, “Thank you for coming to the stadium a lot of Korean fans,” and promised, “I will recover well and show good performance from next year.”
