Wow! What happened?. Kim Ha-sung Atlanta's first RBI is a three-run home run from behind



This is the true face of 'Awesome Kim'.

Kim Ha-sung (30) marked his first RBI since moving to the Atlanta Braves with a delightful come-from-behind three-run home run. He showed tremendous power and impact, proving well why Atlanta recruited Kim Ha-sung.

Kim Ha-sung started as the seventh shortstop in an away game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois on the morning of the 4th (Korea time) and hit a come-from-behind three-run home run with two outs and runners on first and third in the top of the seventh inning when he was trailing 0-1.




Kim Ha-sung, who received a shocking decision to release from the Tampa Bay Rays on the 2nd, immediately wore an Atlanta uniform. Atlanta caught Kim Ha-sung to reinforce the weak offense in the shortstop position. The conditions were to pay $2 million in the remaining annual salary this year and $16 million in guaranteed annual salary next year. Atlanta expected Kim Ha-sung to recover the prestige of the 2023 National League utility Gold Glove winner soon, although he did not show a good performance in Tampa Bay.

The Atlanta club's predictions were right. It may be due to the good chemistry between Kim Ha-sung and Atlanta. Kim Ha-sung met the team's expectations by making multi-hits from his Atlanta debut against the Chicago Cubs on the 3rd.

In his second appearance, he also showed a cheerful long shot. On this day, Kim Ha-sung did not have a hit in the previous two at-bats. In his first at-bat with two outs in the top of the second inning, he ended up with a catcher foul fly. He then struck out swinging in his second at-bat after two outs in the top of the fifth inning. The sense of good hitting that he showed the day before seemed to have disappeared.




But this was just a rainstorm. Kim Ha-sung had not been able to hit in the previous two at-bats the day before, but had consecutive hits from the third at-bat to achieve multi-hits. On this day, it was finally activated properly in its third at-bat.

Atlanta was dragged 0-1 in the top of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on first and third bases. Kim Ha-sung, who came to the batter's box, faced veteran bullpen pitcher Drew Pomerantz, who changed when he hit the front batter. Pommerantz looked down on Kim Ha-sung. He threw a 92.6-mile flat four-seam fastball into the middle of the first pitch. Kim Ha-sung pulled this without missing it.

The batting speed was 108.5 miles per hour (about 175 kilometers per hour). It was a huge hard hit. The ball that flew to the right-center quickly crossed the fence. The distance was 391 feet. It hit so well that it came out as a hit that would be a home run in all major league stadiums. It was Kim Ha-sung's third home run of the season, which came out 24 days after the game against Seattle on August 11th, when he was a member of Tampa Bay.

It is also Kim Ha-sung's first home run in an Atlanta uniform. There is a greater impact on the fact that it was a three-point reversal. In particular, this is Atlanta's first home run in the shortstop position this season. Atlanta brought in Kim Ha-sung to solve the shortstop's poor offense, which showed the best solution in just two games.

After this home run, Atlanta's batters revived and added one more point. Kim Ha-sung took the opportunity to become a hero of the come-from-behind victory. Thanks to Kim Ha-sung's home run, Atlanta is leading 4-1 until the eighth inning and is on the verge of winning.
