I’m excited about the Korean League!
Kim Ha-seong, Lee
Jeong-hoo’s first two-run shot in an exhibition game,
how far will the momentum continue with a timely hit and stolen base? The bat of Kim Ha-seong (29, San Diego Padres), who will become a free agent (FA) after the 2024 season, is unusual. Kim Ha-seong, who showed off his hot batting skills in every game, finally hit his first home run in an exhibition game.
Ha-seong Kim played as the fifth hitter and shortstop in the home game against the Seattle Mariners held at Peoria Stadium in Arizona, USA on the 4th, and recorded 1 hit and 2 RBIs in 3 at-bats. Ha-seong Kim hit a home run that day. Kim Ha-seong, who had hit only a hit in the second and fourth innings, hit a two-run gun over the left-center field fence in the fifth inning with no outs on first base and a 5-3 lead. This season, Ha-seong Kim has appeared in six exhibition games, recording 5 hits in 12 at-bats and a batting average of 0.417, showing off his talent not only in defense but also in batting.
Ha-seong Kim smiled and said, “I’m happy to receive the Golden Gloves defensively, but I’m also happy that I’m growing offensively,” adding, “I still have a lot to show, so please look forward to it.”
On the other hand, Kim Ha-seong’s teammate Go Woo-seok (26) showed a disappointing performance. On this day, Go Woo-seok took the mound in the 7th inning with the team leading 12-3, allowing 2 hits and 1 walk in 1 inning and allowing 1 run. As soon as Go Woo-seok got on the mound, he hit a triple, a walk, and a hit and allowed his first run in an exhibition game. However, Go Woo-seok struck out three batters and hit two fly balls to end the inning without allowing any additional runs. Go Woo-seok’s ERA became 4.50.
Go Woo-seok’s regret was relieved by his brother-in-law Lee Jeong-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants). Lee Jeong-hoo played as the number one hitter and center fielder in the away game against the Cleveland Guardians held at Goodyear Ball Park in Arizona on this day, going 1 hit in 2 at-bats, 1 walk, 1 RBI, and even a stolen base. Lee Jung-hoo, who got on base with a walk in the first inning, scored on a home run by third batter Lamonte Wade Jr. (30). In the 4th inning, with the game tied 2-2, with 2 outs and runners on first and second base, Lee Jeong-hoo, who was at bat for the third time, added an RBI with a hit to right. Lee Jeong-hoo, who stepped on first base, also succeeded in stealing second base, completing his first steal in an exhibition game. As a result, Lee Jeong-hoo recorded a batting average of 0.455 in the exhibition game with 5 hits in 11 at-bats.
