[Breaking] SF's Jung Hoo Lee, 17 consecutive hits... Sets new record for most hits by a Korean major leaguer!

Jung Hoo Lee of the San Francisco Giants has etched his name in the Major League Baseball record books, setting a new benchmark for consecutive hits by a Korean player. Lee recorded his 17th straight game with at least one hit during a recent matchup against the Washington Nationals at Oracle Park.

The milestone was achieved when Lee hit a single to right field in the bottom of the third inning, with two outs and a runner on first base, in a game where his team was trailing 0-2. This remarkable streak surpasses the previous record of 16 games, which was jointly held by Choo Shin-soo (set in 2013 with the Cincinnati Reds) and Kim Ha-seong (set in 2023 with the San Diego Padres).

Lee's consistent performance highlights his immediate impact and adaptability to the highest level of professional baseball. His ability to maintain such a high level of offensive production over an extended period is a testament to his skill and determination, earning him recognition among Korean baseball fans and the broader MLB community.
