No period of adjustment appears necessary for Jung Hoo Lee. Under an onslaught of newness during his first weeks in the MLB, the Korean centerfielder has calmly brushed his jet-black hair from his eyes and got down to business.
His work with a bat in his hands over 13 games warranted an in-depth analysis from Andrew Baggarly. The metrics and analytics point to elite behavior. Lee has shown loud contact, level swing, ability to adjust, patience at the plate, and composure under pressure.
What Lee brings to the table is dishware, rarely the main course. Despite the low batting average and power results, his skills like hitting behind in the count and refusing to chase out of the zone make him stand out.
