Lee Jung-hoo Closes in on MLB Batting Title with Two Doubles, Now Just .001 Behind

Lee Jung-hoo is on the verge of becoming the overall batting leader in Major League Baseball.

With two doubles in today's game, he has narrowed the gap to the top spot to just one point (0.001).

In his first at-bat in the second inning against Miami, Lee pulled an inside breaking ball on the first pitch, sending it for a double that landed just in front of the right-field wall.

After scoring on a subsequent RBI hit, Lee delivered again in his final at-bat in the eighth inning, pulling a high breaking ball from a left-handed relief pitcher for another double to right field.

Recording multi-hit games for two consecutive days, Lee raised his season batting average to .331. Meanwhile, Miami's Lopez, who leads the league in batting average and faced Lee in this series, managed only one hit in five at-bats, dropping his average to .332.

Now trailing by just .001, Lee looks to claim the top spot in batting average in tomorrow's (June 22) game against Miami.
