"Awesome Kim" Kim Ha-sung (30) seems to have finally found a team that fits his style. Since joining the Atlanta Braves, good performance has continued. Even on the day he didn't get a hit, Kim Ha-sung received attention.
Kim Ha-sung started as the fifth shortstop in a home game against the Seattle Mariners at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia, USA on the morning of the 6th (Korea time). It was his third start since his debut for Atlanta on the 3rd. Kim Ha-sung also showed his contribution to the team's victory on this day. However, the aspect of the team's contribution to the previous two games was a little different.
Kim Ha-sung, who was released from the Tampa Bay Rays, immediately joined after receiving a love call from Atlanta. He then started in an away game against the Chicago Cubs on the 3rd and recorded multiple hits with two hits in four at-bats. In the game against Chicago on the 4th, when he was the second starter, he hit a come-from-behind three-run home run and became the lead of his team's 5-1 come-from-behind victory. It was Kim Ha-sung's first home run since moving to Atlanta.
Kim Ha-sung, who took a break on the 5th, then moved to No. 5, the center batting order, in the game against Seattle on the 6th. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker placed Kim Ha-sung forward, who had two consecutive good batting abilities immediately after the transfer.
Kim Ha-sung met Snitker's expectations from his first at-bat. Kim Ha-sung, who came to the batter's box in the bottom of the first inning with the bases loaded with one out, hit a 95.6-mile first-pitch four-seam fastball thrown slightly high by opposing starter Logan Gilbert and flew it deep into the right-center outfield. Seattle center fielder Julio Rodriguez moved quickly to the right and prepared to catch the ball.
In the end, Kim Ha-sung's ball was caught by Rodriguez. And in the meantime, third baseman Jurickson Profar homered leisurely. It was the moment when Kim Ha-sung gave the team its first score with a sacrifice fly. Atlanta's home fans, who saw Kim Ha-sung for the first time, applauded and cheered. The atmosphere of the Atlanta dugout was similar. They congratulated each other by sharing high-fives with Kim Ha-sung.
Encouraged by this celebratory atmosphere, Kim Ha-sung was recognized by teammates and home fans by increasing the out count by one to 'Super Catch', which is rarely seen during defensive innings in the top of the second inning. Eugenio Suarez, placed in Seattle's leadoff, pulled Atlanta starter Chris Sale's fourth-pitch outside slider.
It was not a hard hit with a batting speed of 87.5 miles. However, the ball seemed to slightly cross the infield at an appropriate height and speed and fall in front of left field. However, shortstop Kim Ha-sung made a great scene of reaching out long and catching Suarez's ball.
The local broadcast commentators, Atlanta fans at the scene, and teammates watching this scene were all surprisingly good. Atlanta starter Sale reached out his glove and thanked Kim Ha-sung.
Atlanta, which overcame the crisis of losing points thanks to Kim Ha-sung's 'Super Jumping Gaetchi', eventually rang a 4-1 victory.
On the other hand, Kim Ha-sung was praised even though he did not have a hit on the day thanks to his consecutive hits of 's sacrifice fly'+'super good defense' at the beginning of the game. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he struck out swinging in his third at-bat, and in the top of the eighth inning, he was also out swinging.
However, on this day, Kim Ha-sung was recognized for his contribution with his sacrifice fly team batting and super-save catches stemming from his sharp reflexes. In addition, the team won 4-1 to record two consecutive wins.
All of this cannot be attributed to Kim Ha-sung, but it is true that the team's atmosphere has changed positively since Kim Ha-sung joined. I'm looking forward to what kind of successful drama Kim Ha-sung will write in Atlanta.
