Jung Hoo Lee is off to a red-hot start to begin his MLB career.

After going 3-for-8 with two RBI in the Giants‘ first two games against the San Diego Padres on Thursday and Friday, Lee’s success carried into Saturday’s matchup at Petco Park.

With San Francisco leading San Diego 3-1 in the top of the eighth inning, Lee blasted a one-out solo home run to right field, his first in the major leagues.

His father, former KBO legend Jong-beom Lee, and family, loved it.

While some outside the organization initially had concerns regarding Lee’s adjustment to MLB pitching coming over from South Korea, the 25-year-old outfielder has hit the ground running.

And it didn’t take him long to notch a few career milestones.
