Kim Ha-seong (26, San Diego Padres) hit the US professional baseball major league demonstration game in four games.
On the morning of the 24th (Korean time) on the morning of the 24th (Korean time), Kim Ha-seong made a replacement appearance against the Cincinnati Reds at the Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria, Arizona, hitting 3 at-bats and 1 strikeout. Ha-seong Kim hit the fourth in the demonstration game in four games after the Chicago White Sox match on the 17th and slightly raised his batting average to 0.125 (four hits in 32 at-bats).
All of Kim Ha-sung’s hits are single, and the exciting long hit has not yet come out. Ha-sung Kim warmed up the bench, and when shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. complained of discomfort in his left shoulder, he took over for him in the first defense in the third inning. After the air shift, Kim Ha-seong resigned to the right fielder after entering the plate with the 3rd batter and struck out in the 6th inning.
Ha-seong Kim broke the silence only in the 3rd at-bat in the 8th. 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, the chance that Kim Ha-Sung had given up could not lead to a goal due to the hitter’s side by side. The match ended with a 5-4 victory over San Diego.
San Diego coach Jace Tingler said, “(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 seeing the ball and balancing his hitting. Coach Tingler said, “Kim Ha-seong is against a pitcher who throws a faster and more moving ball in the major leagues.” “In fact, we are satisfied with the appearance of Kim Ha-seong. Ha-sung Kim has a very good defense. I just need time to adjust at the plate.”
