Jung Hoo Lee 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Elite Contact And Discipline
9 months agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee is one of the most exciting international signings of the offseason. In seven seasons with the KBO, he slashed .340/.407/.491 with 244 doubles, 65 home runs, and 69 stolen bases. Perhaps most impressively, he had 383 walks and 304 strikeouts in 884 career games. Lee's exceptional contact skills and plate discipline will likely carry over into MLB. Additionally, Oracle Park is one of the league's most expansive ballparks, especially for lefties. With lots of surface area in the outfield, there is plenty of grass for Lee's batted balls to fall. He may not hit for much power, but he should often reach base. The 25-year-old is expected to lead off for the Giants and could be a late-round value (NFBC ADP 26) for runs and stolen bases. ATC is on board with this assessment and project Lee with a .286/.352/.426 slash line with 35 2Bs, 10 HRs, nine SBs, 70 runs scored and 60 RBI. Overall, Lee could be one of fantasy's most valuable on-base options.
