Kim Ha-seong (26, San Diego Padres) hit a hit after 4 games.
On the 24th (Korean time), Kim Ha-seong made a three-stroke and one hit in the US Professional Baseball (MLB) demonstration game against the Cincinnati Reds at the Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria, Arizona, USA. He also struck out one.
Kim Ha-sung, who hit the fourth hit in the demonstration game in four games after the Chicago White Sox match on the 17th, slightly raised his batting average to 0.125 (four hits in 32 at-bats). However, all four hits were single hits, and the long hits haven’t come out yet.
Ha-seong Kim started on the bench this day. However, when shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. complained of discomfort in his left shoulder, he started playing instead when defending in the third inning. Kim Ha-seong, who resigned as a hitter 3 after an airborne shift and retired to the right fielder with a floating ball, struck out in the sixth.
And it wasn’t until the third at-bat in the 8th that he broke the silence. After making a clear left-handed hit at the first base, he handed over the first base to the top runner and entered Dougout. However, it was not possible to lead to a score due to the hitting of a follow-up batter. The match was won by San Diego 5-4.
On this day, MLB.com predicted, “Although Kim Ha-sung is sluggish at the plate, there will be no problem entering the opening roster (26).” I do” he said. San Diego coach Jace Tingler also said in an interview with a local reporter, “(Although Kim Ha-sung’s batting average is low), we are not at all embarrassed. Kim Ha-sung is faithfully doing what he has to do now, such as watching the ball and balancing his bat.
Ha-sung Kim signed a contract with San Diego for up to $39 million in 4+1 years.
