# Lee Jung-hoo's replacement Lee Jung-hoo's life reversal, and "SF's First History

Eliot Ramos 25 of the San Francisco Giants, who started the season as a backup outfielder and replacement for Lee Jung-hoo 26, has made history for the first time in his team. This is a great milestone even when San Francisco Giants legend Buster Posey 37, who led the team to three World Series championships, failed to make it.

Ramos started as the second batter and left fielder in the home game of the 2024 U.S. Major League Baseball MLB regular season against the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 16th and scored one hit one home run and one RBI in four at-bats.

San Francisco lost to San Diego in the top of the 10th inning and lost 3-4. However, 33,043 spectators gathered on the day to witness the rare record.

It was in the bottom of the ninth inning when San Francisco was losing 1-2. Ramos, who retired with a grounder, a fly ball and a strikeout in the previous three at-bats, hit San Diego closer Robert Suarez's fastball of 100.2 mph 161.3 km in the seventh pitch.[토토사이트](https://www.outlookindia.com/3/11/2023/2023년-11월-스포츠-토토사이트-순위-및-추천-사설토토-먹튀검증-top15-news-328577)

The ball flew at a launch angle of 30 degrees and 103.8 miles per hour about 167 kilometers and flew 394 feet about 120 meters into McCoby. It was Ramos' 21st home run this season and the moment when his first right-handed batter Splash Hit was born.

The Splash Hit is a genuine record that only San Francisco players, who Lee Jung-hoo had always wanted to achieve when joining the team, can achieve. Oracle Park was constructed with a deformed distance of 94 meters to the right pole 103 meters for the left pole. Instead, the team raised the fence to 7.3 meters in order to prevent more home runs from occurring.

However, the number of home runs was not as high as expected. Due to strong headwinds unique to McCovey, who is located beyond the right outfield to cool down Oracle Park even in the summer. The San Francisco Giants called it a "splash hit" when a player sent a hit right away with just McCovey. A home run recorded by an away player is not recognized as a splash hit, but is honored by making a separate list under the name "Other Home Runs into McCovey Cove."

Prior to this day, only 104 splash hits were born in the 25 years since the opening of Oracle Park, with Barry Bonds having 35, Brandon Belt having 10, and Pablo Sandoval having 8. Right-handed hitters, who had to push through the strong sea breeze, couldn't even make it to the visiting players, as did sluggers such as Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge New York Yankees.

The closest player was club legend Posey. Posey, who also hit 158 home runs in his career at Oracle Park, a pitcher-friendly stadium, once drew a two-run arch in the bottom of the first inning against Walker Buehler in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021. The ball also went into McCoby Bay, but was not recognized as a splash hit because it fell off a chimney-shaped water cannon in the right outfield.

Ramos made such a remarkable record in his first year full-time. "San Francisco is a big club with many great legends. It drives me crazy that I wrote my first history at such a big club," Ramos said after the game.

Ramos was also a promising player who aimed to become a splash hit like Lee Jung-hoo. "I knew I always had the power to hit the ball to the other side, but the high wall and weather in the right field made it seem impossible," Ramos said. "I always had positive thoughts that I could do it. I always wanted to make a splash hit, and I made it."

Ramos' situation at the beginning of the season is truly a reversal of his life. Ramos from Puerto Rico is a top prospect who was drafted by San Francisco as the 19th overall in the first round of the 2017 Major League Rookie Draft. To Korean baseball fans, Ramos is known as the younger brother of Henry Ramos 32, who played for the Doosan Bears in the KBO League this year.

At the time of his nomination, he was rated by MLB as the most anticipated five-tool player since Forge. However, contact tools were considered a weakness, and the rankings of major league prospects were mostly in the bottom of the top 100. Based on MLB 's pipeline, Ramos ranked 63rd in 2018, 92nd in 2019, 65th in 2020, 81st in 2021, and debuted in 2022, but has played only 82 at-bats in 34 games over the past two years.

However, Lee Jung-hoo's season out in May guaranteed full-time three years after his big league debut, and he burst his potential. At the time, San Francisco coach Bob Melvin started Ramos, who played only three games and 13 innings in center field last year, and said, "Now, as Michael Confoto returns to left field, it is most reasonable for Ramos to play center field."

After Lee's departure, many substitutes appeared, but the final winner was Ramos. Ramos is considered one of the few remaining players in the San Francisco Giants who failed to advance to the postseason, posting a batting average of 0.267 115 hits in 431 at-bats, 21 homers, 68 RBIs and 47 runs scored, and an on-base-plus-slugging percentage of 0.321 OPS of 0.469 OPS of 0.790 in 110 games.[소액결제 현금화](https://gizmodo.uol.com.br/소액결제-현금화-사이트-추천/)
