Manager Bob Melvin praises Jung Hoo Lee

The San Francisco Giants’ manager Bob Melvin praised Jung Hoo Lee. He said:
“He’s hitting the ball hard, He’s using the whole field. It’s nice that he’s had a nice little run here where he’s gotten some hits. I think last year he was probably a little bit of a tough-luck hitter. But I think getting off to a good start is important for him because he hasn’t played in a bit, especially here in the States. So far, so good with him. He continues to hit in the three-hole and does some really good things, including how he runs the bases and plays defense.”
