Jung Hoo Lee's farthest MLB home run, but in Korean 🎙️ (#SFGiants x @NuveenInv) https://t.co/xlm2ElaY5S

What happened: The San Francisco Giants highlighted what they billed as Jung Hoo Lee's farthest home run in the majors, pairing the swing with the original Korean-language broadcast call. The presentation leans into Lee's roots and the bilingual following he has drawn since arriving from the KBO.

Why it matters: Lee has been one of San Francisco's steadiest bats this season, and moments like this underscore his growing pull with both Korean and Bay Area fans. He is the same Jung Hoo Lee who set a new MLB record with an 18-game hitting streak earlier this month, a stretch that cemented his role at the top of the order.

What to watch: Watch whether Lee keeps driving the ball with authority as San Francisco tries to climb back toward .500 in the second half of the schedule.
