Kim Ha-sung of the San Diego Padres is suffering from poor batting performance. He has no hit in 16 at-bats for five games since his hit at the Baltimore Orioles on July 29. His batting average for this season also fell to 0.223. 메이저놀이터
In the meantime, he is facing an injury. Kim Ha-sung missed an away game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Sunday (Korea time). The reason was pain in his right triceps.
According to MLB.COM’s A.J. Casabel, Kim Ha-sung began to feel pain in his right triceps on the 6th rest day, and the pain continued while swinging in the morning of the 7th.
Manager Mike Shildt believed Kim Ha-sung could recover in time to start against Pirates lefty Bailey Falter, and he was also listed on the lineup card before the game. However, as the pain continued, he made a surprise switch to Tyler Wade.
PNC Park is one of Kim Ha-sung’s favorite stadiums. He had a batting average of 0.290 (11 at 38 times at bat), two homers and two doubles in 10 games (nine starts) held at the stadium. It was an opportunity to regain the sense of hitting power, but it was regrettable.
Kim has not hit a home run since June 22. His slugging percentage dropped 33 points from .390 to .357 during the period.
It is not yet known whether Kim Ha-sung’s absence will continue.
