Star KBO outfielder Jung Hoo Lee paid homage to his father in his introduction to the San Francisco Giants.
"My name is Jung Hoo Lee, Grandson of the Wind, from Korea," Lee said Friday during his introductory press conference.
Lee's father, former KBO MVP Jong Beom Lee, was nicknamed "Son of the Wind" for his prodigious speed.
Jung Hoo went on to win the league's MVP award in 2022.

Despite his own success in the KBO and his adoption of his father's nickname, Lee said he still doesn't think he could beat the original "Son of the Wind" in a race.
