On-base streak for 5 consecutive exhibition games colorful foot baseball
San Diego Padres Kim Ha-seong
San Diego Padres’ starting shortstop Kim Ha-seong (28) performed a ‘one-man show’ by stealing second and third bases after getting a walk, and even scoring a point by taking advantage of the opposing team’s throwing error.
Ha-seong Kim started as the fifth hitter and shortstop in the 2024 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) exhibition game home game against the Los Angeles Angels held at the Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona, USA on the 2nd (Korean time) and showed off his brilliant ‘football’.
In addition, Ha-seong Kim continued his on-base streak for five consecutive games with no hits in two at-bats, one walk, two stolen bases, and one run.His exhibition game batting average was 0.444 (4 hits in 9 at-bats).
Ha-seong Kim tied the game with his eyes and feet in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning when he was down 0-1.
He drew a walk against starting pitcher left-hander Reed Detmers.With a ball count of 3 balls and 1 strike, he avoided a breaking ball and walked to first base.
Ha-seong Kim showed his true value after that.
When the follow-up batter, Urickson Profar, was at bat, he succeeded in stealing second base and created a scoring position.He played so dynamically that his helmet came off and then landed on second base with a head-first slide.It was the first stolen base in an exhibition game.
Ha-seong Kim did not stop.He again attempted to steal third base alone.
The opposing team’s catcher, Logan Ohapee, was caught off guard and was unable to make an accurate throw as if he was embarrassed.
The ball fell behind, and Ha-seong Kim got up again and rushed home to score.
San Diego turned the tables in the bottom of the second inning, using Kim Ha-seong’s score as a stepping stone to score two points.
Ha-seong Kim played a leading role in San Diego by stealing 12 bases in 2022 and 38 in 2023.
In particular, last season, he served as the number one hitter and played his role well with hustle play that did not spare his body.
Ha-Seong Kim is showing extraordinary play starting from exhibition games this year, raising expectations for the new season.
However, Ha-seong Kim was silent after the at-bat.
In the bottom of the third inning, with no outs and no outs on first and second base, left-hander Matt Moore, who was replaced by a pitcher, struck out on a missed swing.
In the 5th inning with a 3-2 lead, he came out as the leadoff hitter and was out with a catcher’s fly ball against left-hander Kenny Rosenberg.
Ha-seong Kim ended the game after being replaced as a substitute in the top of the 6th inning, and San Diego lost 3-5.
Go Woo-seok, a member of the San Diego bullpen who had pitched one inning without allowing a run the previous day, did not play. 토토사이트
