From the first day of training in the San Diego Beast Tank, Ha-Sung Kim showed light movements.

Ha-sung Kim, who played 7 years as a shortstop in Korea, takes on a new challenge as second baseman on the American stage.

<김하성 / 샌디에이고> “I’m taking a new challenge in the position of second baseman, and I’m also investing a lot more in defense. I’m having a lot of conversations with my defensive coach.”

In San Diego, where star players are lined up, the player who caught Kim Ha-sung’s attention was shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr..

Korean fans are familiar with the abbreviation of’petage’, but recently they signed a large-scale contract with a total amount of 382 billion won in 14 years, the longest in the major leagues.

<김하성 / 샌디에이고> “I think he’s a really good player and I know why he’s a superstar. There are so many good players that it’s fun to train.”

Choo Shin-soo, who has been the’oldest brother’ of Korean major leaguers, has declared a return to the KBO league.

Kim Ha-seong, who said that he was able to come to the big leagues thanks to Shin-soo Choo raised the status of Korean baseball, expressed his ambition to follow his senior.

<김하성 / 샌디에이고> “I think I wish I could do well like Choo Shin-soo. Even if I go to Korea, I think that Korean players will be able to see and learn good things.”

Ha-sung Kim takes the first step toward the big league from the demonstration game starting on the 1st of next month.
