SDI = defense index
For those of you who don’t know, to explain it very simply, the meaning of SDI -13.6 means that 13.6 points were conceded due to Jeong-hoo Lee’s defense alone, and I forgot about the ‘team war’ of 1.3 to 1.4 due to defensive contribution alone. Considering that the Giants raced through the postseason until the end, this is fatal. A defensive mistake gives the team one more out, so the damage to the pitcher and the team is actually considerable. That’s why defense is important.
The above ranking is the National League (NL) ranking where Lee Jung-hoo belongs, but last place in the American League (AL) ranking is -10.5.
In other words, Lee Jeong-hoo, with -13.6, achieved an overwhelming last place in the entire major league in the NL AL.
