In baseball, the umbrella effect refers to a myth that a strong batter has a positive effect on batters in the batting order around him. He argues that the team will stage more aggressive matches to avoid encountering tricky hitters for runners. This year, the San Francisco Giants displayed a slightly different umbrella. Other players covered up the slump in the early days of the season of Willy Adames, the shortstop who signed a huge seven-year, $182 million contract. Lee Jung-hoo is one of them, who is keeping the third batting order after Adames.온라인카지노

The Athletic, a U.S. sports media outlet, wrote on the 5th (Korea time) that "Adames raised his OPS by 73 points (0.602 to 0.675) with a single game. Two things can be seen here. The first is that he played well with two home runs and a double. The second is that it is still early in the season, so the performance of one game can make a big difference in a player's record."

"A week ago, Adames had a batting average of 0.202, an on-base percentage of 0.279, and a slugging percentage of 0.263. Exactly a week later, he has a batting average of 0.230, an on-base percentage of 0.312 and a slugging percentage of 0.363. If these performances continue for another week, no one will remember the poor performance in the beginning of the season. "Then San Francisco will finally get the player it was looking forward to, giving it a record-breaking contract."

Although Adames showed poor performance in the early days of the season, he seems to be able to recover his performance quickly. San Francisco has got off to a good start in the background of allowing it to look at the situation in such a relaxed manner. San Francisco is ranked third in the National League West with 22 wins and 13 losses until the game against Colorado on Tuesday. Although the team ranks third in the league, it can tie for first with the New York Mets in the Eastern Division of the National League, and can beat the Chicago Cubs (21 wins and 14 losses) to become the lone lead in the Central Division of the team.

The Athletic wrote, "If the team's winning rate was less than 500%, and the player who was hired as an FA was in a slump, it would have been easier to find the reason from Adames. That kind of attention makes the spotlight hotter. The hotter the spotlight is, the more sweaty your hands get, and the sweaty hands make your batting gloves stale. That's how the situation gets worse."

"However, San Francisco has been showing good performance since the beginning of the season. This has relieved some of Adames' burden. He may have felt pressure, but he is not in a panic yet. It could have been different if it were a different team. When Adames appeared at the batter's box in the seventh inning of the game on Saturday, fans at Oracle Park gave him a standing ovation. It meant that he trusted him," he added.

In other words, Adames was able to overcome his slump thanks to his teammates at the San Francisco Giants. "It is thanks to the stellar performances of Lee Jung-hoo and Mike Yastremski, Wilmer Flores making timely hits, and the most efficient pitching staff in the Major League," the media reported. "Baseball is a team sport. Despite Adames' slump, San Francisco in 2025 showed good performance. Now, Adames gave the team a chance to perform well. It was something the team had expected from the beginning."

Lee had no hit in three at-bats on Tuesday, but posted an RBI single by hitting a pitch. He has a batting average of 0.305 and an OPS of 0.854. In terms of his starting games, he had hits in nine consecutive games since his three hits against Milwaukee on March 24, but this record was broken on Tuesday. He will continue to start in the third batter's center field against the Cubs on Tuesday.
