SF Giants manager Bob Melvin planned to introduce the two Pacific Rim outfielders, who share some similarities.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee follows the flight of the balls during batting practice of day four of the Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — When teams travel to the opposite side of the valley, as the Giants do today, rarely are veterans required to make the trek. When teams split up their squads, the manager typically remains home with his primary players and delineates the road duties to his coaching staff.
Before the Giants’ meeting with the Mariners, a more significant summit was on the docket. Melvin planned to introduce two of the most notable outfielders to come from the Pacific Rim to MLB. Leading off, Lee was one of the few regulars in the lineup against Seattle, where Ichiro serves as a special adviser.
It hasn’t gone unnoticed by Melvin, who managed Ichiro in Seattle for two seasons and maintains a close relationship with him. The part of Lee’s game that has drawn the most comparisons to Ichiro is his ability to put practically any pitch into play. Hitting coach Justin Viele pointed out that the stability of Lee’s hands in his swing mirrors Ichiro’s. Over seven seasons in the KBO, Lee never posted a batting average lower than .318 and hit a .340 mark for his career. He also wasn’t much of a power hitter, reaching double digits in home runs only twice.
