Kim Ha-sung started as the sixth shortstop against the Houston Astros at Truist Park on the 13th (Korea time) and recorded no hits and one walk in three at-bats. Atlanta was defeated 3-11.
Kim Ha-sung grounded out to the second base in his first at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the second inning when he was 0-0. He strongly hit a 95.2 mile sinker that dug into his body for the fourth time in a ball count of 2B1S against Houston right-hander Jaden Murray, but it became a ground ball flowing at a speed of 94.7 miles.
He stepped out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning, when the score gap widened to 0-10, and retired with a fly ball to center field.
On the full count, he hit an 82-mile slider that fell outside the eighth pitch of opposing right-hander Nick Hernandez, but center fielder Jake Myers moved slightly back and caught it.
After trailing 1-11, he got on base with a walk after one out in the seventh inning. After a full-count battle with left-hander Colton Gordon, he picked up a 90.9-mile fastball on the seventh pitch. But then the follow-up hit
I couldn't be more sincere because I didn't.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Gordon's 90.9-mile fastball, which he dug into the high course in the middle of his sixth pitch, became a fly ball to right field as it floated high. Kim Ha-sung saw 25 balls in four at-bats, but there was no decisive shot.
As a result, Kim Ha-sung's batting average fell to 0.217 (25 hits in 115 at-bats) and his OPS to 0.611. In nine games since moving to Atlanta, he has a batting average of 0.226 (7 hits in 31 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.609.
