[스포츠서울 윤세호기자] As the command tower revealed, Kim Ha-seong (26, San Diego) took the opportunity to participate in shortstop. This is Ha-seong Kim, who is starting the first shortstop after joining the big league.
San Diego made their name on the lineup as a 7th batter shortstop at the home game against San Francisco at Petco Park, San Diego, California, USA on the 7th (Korean time). Kim Ha-sung replaced Tatis as shortstop when the main shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. escaped from the previous game due to shoulder pain.
However, this is the first time he has been starting a shortstop. He was the sixth batter and second baseman in the match against Arizona on the 4th, which was his first starting match in the big league. At that time, Kim Ha-seong made her first hit in the big league from the first at-bat and raised the RBI, playing an active part in four at-bats and two hits. He also showed a sense of stability in the defense.
And on this day, he will play as the most familiar position, shortstop. Although Tatis’ return schedule has not yet been confirmed, it is expected that Kim Ha-sung will be given a chance to join shortstop for the time being. San Diego coach Jace Tingler said, “Kim Ha-sung is the first option at shortstop” after the game the day before, and announced that Kim Ha-sung will replace Tatis.
Meanwhile, Darvish Yu will start in San Diego on this day. Darvish made a big success at last year’s Chicago Cubs with an ERA of 2.01 with an average of 2.01 in 76 innings in 76 innings, ranking second in the National League Cy Young’s vote. He moved to San Diego through a trade last winter and struggled with 4 runs in 4.2 innings against Arizona in the opening game on the 2nd.
