Since his debut in the Major League this year, Lee has played 71 games with a batting average of 0.236, eight homers, 29 RBIs and eight steals. His OPS, which combines on-base plus slugging percentage, also stands at only 0.654. It can be said that his performance is not that bad for a rookie in the big league. Considering his physical value, however, Lee’s performance is not good enough for him.
A native of Venezuela, Cho joined Milwaukee for a down payment of $1.9 million (about W2.5 billion) at the time of his contract in 2021. In addition, he signed an eight-year, $82 million (about W113.3 billion) long-term contract with his current team Milwaukee last winter before making his major league debut. 파워볼사이트
In 2022, Lee played for minor league singles A and Double A, posting a batting average of 0.288, 20 homers, 75 RBIs and 16 steals. Last year, he played for Double A and Triple A, posting a batting average of 0.282, 22 homers, 91 RBIs and 44 steals. His OPS, which combined on-base plus slugging percentage, also stood at 0.805. This was the reason why Milwaukee gave him an eight-year contract.
As it is his first year in the Major League, we will have to wait and see, but given his performance so far, it is also true that his performance does not meet expectations reflecting his physical value. It is even more so when compared with San Diego outfielder Jackson Merrill (20), who also shares his name and age with him.
Merrill, who made his big league debut by joining the San Diego Padres’ 26-man roster for the opening game of this season, has appeared in a total of 81 games as of Friday, posting an outstanding batting average of 0.284, 10 homers, 37 RBIs and nine steals. His OPS is also good at 0.753. He is considered one of the candidates for the Rookie of the Year award in the National League.
However, there is one field in the league where Choo is best at. He focuses on the sport. According to a press release recently released by the Milwaukee Brewers, it takes only 14.7 seconds for him to get home after starting from home and running around the first, second, and third bases. He is the fastest hitter in the Major League. The distance from home is 90 feet (about 27.43 meters).
From Milwaukee’s point of view, it seems that he found the information because he wanted to put forward anything when the mega rookie who gave him 113.3 billion won in eight years failed to perform well. On the other hand, Merrill, who receives the league’s lowest annual salary of 750,000 dollars (about 1.036 billion won) this season, is pleasing the San Diego leadership by performing better than expected.
