Kim Ha-seong's batting appearance
American professional baseball Major League Baseball (MLB) Kim Ha-seong (28, San Diego Padres) had two hits in the second game against the San Francisco Giants held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, USA on the 29th (local time). I hit it.
Ha-seong Kim, who recorded no hits in seven at-bats in the Seoul Series on the 20th and 21st, recorded his first hit of the season in Game 1 against the San Francisco Giants the previous day, and recorded two hits on this day, raising his batting average to 0.214.
In Ha-seong Kim's third at-bat in the 6th inning, when the game was tied 2-4, a well-hit ball was caught by Jeong-hoo Lee (25, San Francisco Giants), who was looking at center field. Lee Jeong-hoo was located slightly to the right, so he caught Kim Ha-seong's well-hit ball without difficulty.
After Lee Jeong-hoo was out, Ha-seong Kim took off his helmet and hit it on the ground as if he was disappointed.
Kim Ha-seong, who met at the clubhouse after the game, explained the situation at the time, saying, "It was unfortunate that Jeong-hoo caught it, but it wasn't like that."
He said, “It was a situation where I had to make a hit in that at-bat, but the timing (of hitting) was a little late, so I was disappointed about that.”
With the team trailing by one point at 2-4, he should have kept the mood alive as the 5th hitter, but he was disappointed that he could not do so because he was out.
Ha-Seong Kim showed off his batting skills by scoring two hits that day, but his expression was not very bright.
He said, "I don't think my hitting feel is bad, but it's unfortunate that the team lost. Rather than saying that my hitting feeling has improved, I think I need to pay attention to managing my condition because there are still games ahead."
Kim Ha-seong also said about recording multiple hits on this day with Lee Jung-hoo, following one hit each the previous day, "I think it's good. If the two of us show good performance, the young players playing in Korea will be treated better, and they will be able to dream again." “I think we have to go out on the field and work harder because we can have goals,” he pledged.
