Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) flew again, stirring the ground with hits and stolen bases.
Kim Ha-sung started as the first batter and second baseman in the 2023 Major League Baseball against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, on the 10th . Kim Ha-sung’s season batting average remained 0.288.
San Diego’s Kim Ha-sung (2nd baseman), Fernando Tatis Jr. (right fielder), Juan Soto (left fielder), Manny Machado (3rd baseman), Xander Bogartz (shortstop), Jake Cronenworth (1st baseman), but Choi (nominated hitter) and Luis Campano (catcher) and Trent Grisham (center fielder) started and tried to escape for three consecutive games.
Kim Ha-sung flew, but San Diego couldn’t smile. San Diego lost 1-6, losing four games in a row. The season record is 55 wins and 60 losses. It’s getting disadvantageous in the National League wild card competition.
Darvish struggled with six hits, two walks, four strikeouts and one run (ownership) in six innings and had to swallow the regret of not leading the team to victory, but did not receive enough scoring support.
Kim Ha-seong 25, 26 stolen bases storm run… Lost the soul of a rookie pitcher
From the beginning of the first inning, Kim Ha-seong took out the soul of Seattle right-hander starting pitcher Emerson Hancock. Hancock was a rookie making his big league debut that day. Kim Ha-seong, who started as the lead batter, got on base with a walk, picking out the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pitches out of the strike zone on a ball count of 1-1.
Kim Ha-seong, who stepped on first base, became a headache for the Seattle Battery from this point on. He stole 25th base of the season by stealing 2nd base from Tatis Junior at-bat with a safe first base, and then stole 3rd base again in Soto at-bat with 1 out 2nd base and stole 26th base. Hancock dug into third base without missing a gap where he could not care for Kim Ha-seong on second base.
Even the scoring scene, Ha-seong Kim’s main effort stood out. Soto hit a ground ball in front of the pitcher and it was not easy to rush home, but Ha-seong Kim boldly ran home and did a head first slide. Hancock made a stable choice to catch Soto at first base without paying attention to Kim Ha-seong. Thanks to Kim Ha-seong’s crazy run, San Diego was able to take a 1-0 lead.
15G hit streak, longest SD record since Matt Kemp in 2015… Up to 27 stolen bases
Kim Ha-seong continued his 15-game hitting streak in the second at-bat after one run in the top of the third inning. In a disadvantageous situation with a ball count of 1-2, he hit a sinker with a speed of 93.3 miles per hour (150 km per hour) on Hancock’s 4th pitch and hit a heavy hit. It was the moment when he continued his 15-game hitting streak since he played an active role against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 25th of last month with 2 hits in 3 at-bats, 3 RBIs and 2 runs including a multi-home run.
“Ha-seong Kim continued his 15-game hitting streak, becoming the San Diego batter who achieved the longest hitting streak since Matt Kemp recorded a 15-game hitting streak in 2015.” expressed surprise.
Ha-seong Kim was not satisfied with the hit and shook Hancock with his foot again. Tatis Jr., with one out and one base, stole second base again when he was at bat, recording his 27th stolen base of the season. This is the first time Ha-sung Kim has stolen bases three or more times in a game since his major league debut. However, he failed to score a goal this time due to a misfire on the follow-up.
Kim Ha-seong, surpassing Kazuo Matsui in 2007, set the record for the most stolen bases by an infielder
Ha-seong Kim is now challenging the history of stealing the most bases in one season by an Asian infielder. In 2007, Japanese infielder Kazuo Matsui recorded 32 stolen bases for the Colorado Rockies. The record for the most from Asia is 56 stolen bases recorded by Ichiro Suzuki, a newcomer who appeared for the Seattle Mariners in 2001. It is difficult to pass Ichiro, but Matsui has a pace that can be surpassed enough.
Kim Ha-seong succeeded in stealing the 23rd and 24th bases in succession against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 5th, and has already set the record for the most stolen bases in a season by a Korean major leaguer. The previous record was 22 stolen bases achieved by Choo Shin-soo in 2010 when he was with the Cleveland Indians (now the Guardians). Ha-seong Kim now holds the record for the most stolen bases in a season by an Asian infielder with five.
Soto and Hosobi Collaboration… Kim Ha-seong is second in defensive WAR.
Kim Ha-seong, who wore a glove, also continued to play a big role. It was when Teoscar Hernandez went on base with a left-handed hit after two outs at the bottom of the 6th inning with a score of 1-1. Hernandez judged the course for a double hit and ran to second base. First, left fielder Soto delivered the ball accurately to Ha-seong Kim, who was guarding the side of second base, boasting a strong shoulder.
Ha-seong Kim tagged Hernandez, who rushed to second base without delay. It was a situation where Hernandez’s feet could reach the base first, but Ha-seong Kim blocked it with his glove first and was able to tag him out. It was a perfect out for the Seattle bench to waive the challenge request.
The US local relay screen showed Ha-seong Kim tagging near the Hernandez Bridge in a slow screen and praised Ha-sung Kim’s defense. It was a scene where I could see why Kim Ha-seong was ranked second in major league fielder defense WAR (contribution to victory versus substitute players). Ha-seong Kim has been closely following Tampa Bay Wander Franco (2.2) with a defensive WAR of 2.0 until the 9th.
I don’t fall for snow baseball… Choi Ji-man walks 3G in a row
Choi Ji-man, who has become Kim Ha-sung’s teammate since this month, has succeeded in getting on base in three consecutive games with walks. His first hit since moving to San Diego has yet to come out, but he is playing like a snowball with five walks in six games for San Diego.
Choi Ji-man got a walk in his first at-bat after two outs in the top of the second inning with a 1-0 lead, and after a neck-and-neck race with Seattle starter Hancock to the full count, he picked up a changeup that fell low for the sixth pitch. Following Kim Ha-sung, he tried to contribute to the team’s additional score, but the next batter, Campagnano, stopped by a fly ball to center field and the inning ended.
Choi Ji-man had no hits and one walk in one at-bat and was replaced by pinch hitter Garrett Cooper in the top of the sixth inning. Choi Ji-man’s season batting average fell slightly from 0.185 to 0.183 and his on-base percentage fell slightly from 0.239 to 0.244.
8th inning 5 run bullpen collapse..SD couldn’t beat
The 1-1 balance was broken in the bottom of the 8th inning. Bullpen pitcher Steven Wilson allowed a superior two-run four to Carl Rowley from one out and first base, and the score was 1-3 in an instant.
The burning Seattle batting line did not cool down. In the ongoing 2nd base crisis, Thai France hit a double at the right time in the middle of the game, widening the distance to 1-4 and finally bringing Wilson down.
Even the changed pitcher, Tom Cosgrove, allowed a timely hit to Cade Marlowe in 2nd and 2nd base, making it 1-5.
