San Diego Padres Kim Ha-seong (28) improved the sense of hitting with a double in the last demonstration game he played ahead of joining the Korean national team in the World Baseball Classic (WBC).

Ha-seong Kim started as a 6th hitter and 2nd baseman against the LA Dodgers in the 2023 Major League Baseball exhibition game held at Peoria Stadium in Peoria, Arizona on the 28th (Korean time), scored 1 run in 3 at-bats, and was replaced before the start of the 7th inning. .

Kim Ha-seong, who played an active role in the Arizona Diamondbacks match the previous day (27th) with 2 hits in 3 at-bats, 2 RBIs and 1 walk, played 3 demonstration games until this day. In the last two consecutive games, he went 3-for-8 with a batting average of 3.7, 5 runs, 2 RBIs, 2 runs and 1 walk.

Ha-seong Kim hit a long hit from the first at-bat in the second inning, laying the foundation for the first point. He came out as the lead batter and hit two runs in left-center in a match against Dodgers right-hander Phil Vickford. He hit a well-controlled ball on the outside of the 4th pitch at the right timing and connected it with a huge double. Kim Ha-sung’s first long hit in an exhibition game.

Then, Ha-seong Kim, who quickly advanced to third base when Taylor Colway grounded shortstop, scored the first run by stepping home on Brandon Dixon’s center fielder’s sacrifice fly.

In the fourth inning, when he came back as the leadoff batter, he bunted the first pitch against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack. He rolled the ball toward third base well, but Dodgers third baseman Luke Williams made a quick running throw and Kim Ha-seong, who sprinted, was out by a short shot. In the last at-bat in the 6th inning, he struck out left-hander James Jones on a swing.

Kim Ha-seong handled two outcounts in second base defense. Starting in the fifth inning, he moved to shortstop and fielded two innings through the sixth inning. With the consideration of San Diego coach Bob Melvin, he developed a sense of real combat even at the shortstop position before joining the WBC. Kim Ha-seong, who will be the starting second baseman for San Diego this year, will play as the starting shortstop for the Korean WBC national team. 카지노사이트

Meanwhile, San Diego lost 6-7 to the Dodgers in the game that day. In the ninth inning, leading 4-3, the bullpen failed to maintain a one-run lead. Relief Jake Sanchez gave up the lead as he collapsed with 2 hits, 2 walks, 1 walk and 4 runs in ⅔ innings. After catching up with two runs in the last attack in the ninth inning, there was a chance with two outs loaded, but Brett Sullivan grounded out from second base and lost 6-7. San Diego, which recently ended its two-game winning streak, became 2-2 in exhibition games.

In San Diego, along with Kim Ha-seong, Manny Machado and David Dahl recorded 1 hit in 3 at-bats. Outfielder Preston Tucker from the KBO League KIA Tigers came as a replacement and played an active role as a multiple on-base with 1 hit and 1 walk in 1 at bat. San Diego starter Nabil Chrismat pitched 2 innings, 2 hits, no walks, 1 strikeout and no runs.

The Dodgers won the game, but they are concerned about the absence of starting shortstop Gavin Lux, who went 2-for-3, due to injury. Lux’s step was twisted while running from second base to third base when Luke Williams grounded to third base in the fifth inning. San Diego third baseman Janzen Witt’s right knee snapped as he ducked to avoid a throw to second base. Lux, who complained of pain, was immediately substituted and left the field, and details of his condition have yet to be released.
