Jung Hoo Lee
2025 Player Outlook
Lee's stateside debut was cut short after just 158 plate appearences when he dislocated his shoulder slamming into the center field wall. In his brief debut, Lee flashed elite contact skills, but the power and plate discipline he displayed in the KBO did not translate to MLB. He was not afforded the opportunity to make adjustments due to the injury, and he is still just 26 years old, so there is chance he is able to improve on either or both of those to become a more complete hitter.
