The team , including Ho-bi, who caught a straight hit after taking a reverse move from the shortstop position, hit a bases-loaded home run on the 25th anniversary of ‘Han Man-du' and lost from behind.
Kim Ha-seong (28, San Diego Padres), who is emerging as a top infielder in the Major League Baseball (MLB), had multiple hits (two or more hits in one game) for the first time in 11 games.
Ha-seong Kim started as a 5th hitter and shortstop in the 2024 MLB regular season visiting game against the Colorado Rockies held at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, USA on the 24th (Korean time), hitting 2 hits in 4 at-bats and scoring one run. 바카라사이트
Ha-seong Kim's season batting average increased from 0.216 to 0.228 (21 hits in 92 at-bats).
This is the first time in 11 games that Ha-seong Kim has had more than two hits in one game since the game against the Chicago Cubs on the 11th.
In addition, Ha-seong Kim succeeded in breaking the silence of no hits in two consecutive games recently.
Ha-seong Kim reached base with a lucky infield hit in his first at-bat in the first inning.
Kim Ha-seong, who came to the plate with the team leading 2-0, one out and one on first base, tapped Colorado starter Ryan Feltner's low sinker in a situation where he was cornered with one ball and two strikes.
The slow ground ball passed the pitcher and rolled toward the third baseman, and Colorado third baseman Ryan McMahon gave up the throw.
However, Ha-seong Kim was unable to score as the follow-up batter, Luis Campusano, retired due to a double play in front of the pitcher.
Ha-seong Kim completed a multi-hit early in his second at-bat in the third inning.
This time he hit properly, sending the ball cleanly toward left field.
Ha-seong Kim, who stood at the plate with no runners on 2 outs, pulled in Feltner's slider on the 5th pitch and reached base with a single to left.
He immediately succeeded in stealing his 7th base of the season, and hit home when the follow-up hitter Campusano's double hit, scoring his 15th run of the season.
However, Ha-seong Kim was unable to add a hit due to a fly ball to the infield in the 5th inning and a fly ball to center field in the 7th inning.
The ball he hit in his last at-bat in the 7th inning flew about 114 meters, but was caught by the opposing center fielder.
Ha-seong Kim also showed off his presence in defense.
With the team ahead 2-1 and with no outs on first and second base in the second inning, he fell and caught a straight hit from Brenton Doyle.
Kim Ha-seong, who was moving toward third base after seeing the runner on second base move, caught the ball with amazing reflexes when a bullet-like batted ball flew in the opposite direction.
However, the team lost 4-7, ending their recent two-game winning streak.
During the game, the San Diego broadcasting crew played a video of Fernando Tatis (then of the St. Louis Cardinals), the father of Fernando Tatis Jr. (of San Diego), hitting two grand slam home runs in one inning from Chan-ho Park (of the Los Angeles Dodgers at the time).
Chan-ho Park, an ‘allowable pitcher’, is currently a special advisor to San Diego, so the San Diego team has a deep connection with the so-called ‘Hanmandu’ (two grand slams in one inning).
Today is exactly the 25th anniversary of the introduction of the one and only ‘Hanmandu’ in MLB.
When Tatis Jr. visited Korea for the MLB Seoul Series last month, after hearing Kim Ha-sung's story, he deliberately bought two dumplings at the market, ate them, and posted them on social media.
In fact, San Diego lost when Brendan Rogers hit a grand slam in the 4th inning, leading 4-1.
