As the San Francisco Giants hosted the Colorado Rockies on Friday, outfielder Jung Hoo Lee found himself involved in an extremely peculiar situation.

With one out and a runner on first base in the top of the eighth inning, Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman flew out to center field, where Lee was stationed. Lee caught the ball to record the out, however, forgetting that there was still another out to get before the inning was over, he tossed the ball into the bleachers behind him, resulting in the runner advancing two bases.

A clip of Lee's error later made it to X.

Jung Hoo Lee reflects on his first full season in the major leagues

Making his professional baseball debut in April 2017, Jung Hoo Lee enjoyed a lot of success in the KBO before moving stateside in 2024, signing with the San Francisco Giants in December 2023. Unfortunately, his first season in the majors was ravaged by injury, as he missed pretty much the entirety of the campaign after undergoing labrum surgery.

In 2025, however, the outfielder has been ever-present for the Giants. With the 2025 season winding to a close, the infielder reflected on his first full season in the big leagues, as reported by popular South Korean newspaper The Chosun Daily.

“I realized many areas where I fell short this year. The number of games is high, and there’s a lot of travel. The time zone changes require careful management of stamina. I think I need to build more strength. I plan to focus on weight training and technical drills.”

“Looking just at the regular season, I played the most games of my career. In Korea, teams play six games and then rest. If it rains, they cancel, but here, even if it rains, they often wait until the end to play. I felt a big difference in the schedule," Lee said
