‘Genius hitter’ Lee Jeong-hoo goes to San Francisco. Lee Jeong-hoo’s team, Kiwoom Heroes, also smiles.

'New York Post' John Heyman reported on his SNS on the 13th (Korean time) that Lee Jung-hoo signed a contract with the San Francisco Giants.

His contract amount is more than you can imagine. 6 years, $113 million. This amounts to approximately 148.4 billion won in Korean won. An opt-out option is also included to give up the remaining contract after four years and declare free agent status.

San Francisco was mentioned early on as a potential new team for Jeong-hoo Lee. San Francisco general manager Pete Putilla personally came to Gocheok Sky Dome on October 10 and watched Lee Jung-hoo's game. Lee Jung-hoo played his final home farewell game and received a standing ovation when he stood at bat again.

It's not just San Francisco. The New York Yankees and San Diego Padres were also mentioned as Lee Jung-hoo's new destination, but Lee Jung-hoo's choice was San Francisco. <a href="https://www.totosafesite.com/" target="_blank" title="먹튀검증사이트">먹튀검증사이트</a>

With this, Lee Jung-hoo easily surpassed Ryu Hyun-jin's posting amount of $25,737,377 (about 33.5 billion won) in 2012. In addition, there was no problem with the amounts of Kang Jung-ho ($5,002,015, approximately 6.5 billion won), Park Byeong-ho ($12.85 million, approximately 16.6 billion won), and Kim Ha-seong ($5.525 million, approximately 7.2 billion won), who came to the American stage from Kiwoom.

Additionally, Lee Jeong-hoo set a new record for an Asian batsman. The previous record was held by Japanese outfielder Yoshida, who signed a large five-year contract worth $90 million (approximately KRW 118.1 billion) with Boston last year. For reference, Yoshida did not do badly in his big league debut season this year, with a batting average of .289 in 140 games, 155 hits, 15 home runs, 72 RBIs, an on-base percentage of .338, a slugging percentage of .445, and an OPS of .783.

The team that will laugh more than anything is Kiwoom. Kiwoom receives 24.7 billion won from Lee Jeong-hoo's posting alone.

The posting calculation method varies depending on the contract amount. 20% of the first guaranteed value of $25 million, 17.5% of the next $25 million, and 15% of $50 million or more. Therefore, Kiwoom will receive $5 million (about KRW 6.6 billion) + $ 4.375 million (about KRW 5.7 billion) + $ 9.45 million (KRW 12.4 billion). Not only Lee Jung-hoo but also Kiwoom is a jackpot.

Lee Jeong-hoo is the best hitter in the KBO. Lee Jeong-hoo, who joined the Heroes as a first-round pick after graduating from Whimoon High School, made a brilliant debut by playing in all 144 games of the 2017 season, his debut season, recording 179 hits, 2 home runs, 47 RBIs, and 111 runs. It was his share of Rookie of the Year honors.

Even after that, Lee Jeong-hoo did not know how to stop. In particular, last season, he recorded a batting average of 0.349, 193 hits, 23 home runs, 113 RBI, and 85 runs in 142 games, earning him the honor of being named the first league MVP since his debut. He was ranked the leader in hits, runs batted in, and batting.

Although he was only able to play in 86 games this season due to an unexpected injury as soon as the second half of the season started, he still showed off Lee Jeong-hoo's outstanding performance with a batting average of 0.318, 105 hits, 6 home runs, 45 RBIs, and 50 runs.

The best active hitter in KBO, with a batting average of 0.340, 1,181 hits, 65 home runs, 515 RBIs, and 581 runs in 884 KBO games. Lee Jeong-hoo is also ranked first in batting average among active players.

Now that he is making a new start in the United States, what kind of performance will Lee Jeong-hoo perform?
