Baseball is not this easy, everyone. Kim Ha-sung, who survived Atlanta, is silent again



Baseball is a difficult sport. Even if you swing a fire bat the day before, you may just hit it in vain the next day. Kim Ha-sung (30, Atlanta), who seemed to be revived, was silent again with no hits in four at-bats. He rarely had a hard hit, and the ball that hit well was caught by the defense.

Kim Ha-sung started as the fifth shortstop in a home game against the Chicago Cubs at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia on the morning of the 10th (Korea time). Kim Ha-sung had a different experience against the Cubs the day before, starting as the fourth hitter for the first time since his Major League debut. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker trusts Kim Ha-sung when he showed a good batting sense, such as hitting a home run after joining the team.

However, Kim Ha-sung's batting sense, which seemed to be revived hot, cooled down again. Kim Ha-sung, who scored one hit and one point from three times at bat in his '4th batter debut', went 0 for 4 in the game of moving back to the 5th batting order.




As a result, Kim Ha-sung's batting average for the season fell from 0.231 to 0.222 (24 hits in 108 times at bat). After moving to Atlanta, Kim Ha-sung's batting average was 0.250, slightly higher than the season's batting average. However, it is not at a level that can be evaluated as 'Good.'"

It's not just Kim Ha-sung that he couldn't hit. Most Atlanta hitters were sluggish against the Cubs on the day. Atlanta lost 1-6 with only four scattered hits and only one run.

On this day, Kim Ha-sung faced his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning. However, opponent starter Cade Horton hit a four-seam fastball (95.2 miles per hour) in the fourth pitch with a ball count of 2B1S and grounded out in front of the third baseman. He then faced Horton again in his second at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning, but this time he only hit a fly ball to the third base.




At least, he almost had a hit in the bottom of the seventh inning. Again, Kim Ha-sung, who came out as the leadoff hitter against Horton, hit a 96.5-mile four-seam fastball that came into the seventh pitch. However, the ball flew straight to the opponent's left field and became a line drive out. Kim Ha-sung ended the game by striking out swinging in his last at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
