SD, thanks to Kim Ha-seong when it comes to fall baseball

"SD, thanks to Kim Ha-seong when it comes to fall baseball" A backup player is the attack leader, and the Padres are now suffering from Ha-seong.

Kim Ha-sung (28, San Diego Padres), who had been backing up superstar infielders in his first year in the Major League, has become a leader who leads the team's attack in three seasons. The U.S. media, San Diego coach, and colleagues are all "sick of Ha Sung."

Kim Ha-sung started as the first third baseman in the 2023 Major League Baseball home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on the 19th and led his team to a 4-0 victory with one hit and two RBIs in four at-bats.

Kim Ha-sung, who got on base due to a throwing error by shortstop Heraldo Perdomo in the first inning when it was 0-0, was out while attempting to steal second base during the subsequent Fernando Tatis Jr. at-bat. In the fourth inning, when he was still facing 0-0, he took the lead and stepped down with a fly ball to the left field, and in the sixth inning when it was 0-0, he swallowed his disappointment with a fly ball to the shortstop without two outs.

Baekmi was the last at-bat. In the eighth inning, when the leadoff Gary Sanchez got on base with a walk and pinch hitter Ben Gamel with a bunt hit, Trent Grisham calmly made a sacrifice bunt to support the two runners' advance.

Kim Ha-sung, who appeared with one out and runners on second and third bases, did not miss the chance. It was an unfavorable count of 0B-2S, but he hit Miguel Castro's third slider to lead to a two-run heavy timely hit that penetrated the infield forward defense. It was the moment when he hit the final hit of the day. Kim Ha-sung was later responsible for scoring when Tatis Jr.'s wedge two-run shot.

San Diego's local media "San Diego Union-Tribune" highlighted Kim Ha-sung's performance through an article titled "Kim Ha-sung Saved the Padres" after the game.

The media said, "Kim Ha-sung has been active as a savior of the Padres this season. If the Padres erase the five-game gap in the wild card rankings in the remaining 39 games and accomplish the impossible task of advancing to the fall baseball, Kim Ha-sung will be considered a savior," he praised Kim Ha-sung as the leader of the Padres' batting lineup.

Kim Ha-sung hit the winning hit without losing his concentration while being driven to an unfavorable count of 0B-2S. The media said, "Kim Ha-sung may give a lecture on how to hit after two strikes. Other colleagues should learn this part, he said. "After Kim Ha-sung's two strikes, his batting average is .244, ranking sixth overall in the National League," he praised Kim Ha-sung's ability. 스포츠토토

Then, what is the secret. "I had a terrible swing on a bad ball," Kim Ha-sung told the San Diego Union-Tribune. So I pulled myself together again and tried to contact him. In the end, contact was made, and good results came out," he said.

His teammates also applauded Kim Ha-sung's dramatic final hit. San Diego superstar Tatis Jr. said, "It's amazing. He praised Kim Ha-sung for his amazing performance today, just as he did all year long.
