Following the 'power', 'steadiness' has also come back to life.

For Kim Ha-sung, wearing the Atlanta Braves uniform was a `God's move.' It's a completely different player from the Tampa Bay Rays, and the appearance of 'Awesome Kim' we remember is back.

In particular, if one hit in one game, the sense of the game, which was silent in the next game, is now completely stabilized. Eight consecutive hits are proof of that. It is the first record in a year and three months.




Kim Ha-sung hit eight consecutive games in as many as 448 days, helping his team win seven consecutive games.

Kim Ha-sung started as the 6th shortstop in an away game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan on the 21st (Korea time) and scored 1 hit and 1 point in 4 at-bats. In particular, he played a big role in his team's 6-5 come-from-behind victory by scoring a come-from-behind score after hitting a hit at first base with no outs in the top of the ninth inning when he was trailing 4-5.

Above all, Kim Ha-sung has maintained a fairly steady pace in recent years. He has had hits in eight consecutive games since the game against the Houston Astros on the 14th. It is the first time in 448 days that Kim Ha-sung has had a hit in eight consecutive games since June 30 last year when he was with the San Diego Padres. Now, if Kim Ha-sung hits again in the next game, he will record the most personal tie in his MLB career, '9 consecutive hits'. Adding a hit in two consecutive games will create a career high.

Although Kim Ha-sung's batting average is only 0.255 (37 hits in 145 at-bats) due to his poor performance in the early days of his return to Tampa Bay. However, if you narrow it down since joining Atlanta, you'll see a completely different stat. Kim Ha-sung went through an ordeal of being released from Tampa Bay earlier this month. However, a new opportunity came as Atlanta recruited Kim Ha-sung through waivers claims.

Kim Ha-sung seems to have renewed his determination after wearing an Atlanta uniform. It's definitely a different look. In particular, the remaining injuries, which had been repeated even after returning, have been revived. Based on the physical stability, his performance has also been revived. It is evidence that he had hits in eight consecutive games, including the game against Detroit.

In particular, Kim Ha-sung has a batting average of 0.311 (19 hits in 61 at-bats) with two home runs, 10 RBIs and an OPS of 0.794 in 16 games since joining Atlanta. With this stat, it can be seen that it maintains considerable competitiveness in the Major League. At the same time, Kim Ha-sung's value, which was greatly reduced due to sluggishness in the early stages of his return from injury, has also recovered considerably.




There is already a possibility of 'Early FA Declaration'. In the current atmosphere, there is a possibility that he will boldly appear in the FA market after the end of this season. The key depends on whether you can maintain your current pace until the end of the season. It's never easy.

In fact, the hit in consecutive games was almost cut off on this day as well.

Kim Ha-sung only hit a fly ball to right field in his first at-bat in the top of the second inning. It was a pretty good hit with a 95.9-mile batting speed, but it headed straight to the right field. In the top of the fourth inning, he hit a ground ball to the second base against pitcher Tommy Kahnle, who came out as the leadoff hitter. Again, it was a hard hit with a 105-mile batting speed, but I had no luck. After the one-bound, the batting speed decreased and he headed straight to the second baseman.

Kim Ha-sung, who also came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the seventh inning, played a long game to the seventh pitch against Troy Melton, but only grounded out to the first base. The hit in consecutive games is on the verge of being stopped.

However, Kim Ha-sung hit the moment the team needed it the most. Kim Ha-sung, who came to the batter's box at first base with no outs in the top of the ninth inning when he was trailing 4-5, hit the outer slider of opposing pitcher Will Best to make a hard hit with a batting speed of 100.8 miles. This time, the direction was just right. The straight hit went to the right outfield and became a hit.

Kim Ha-sung's hit led to chances for first and second bases with no outs. Since then, two batters have been struck out in a row, but second baseman Ajie Albies advanced to third base due to a pitcher's wild pitch. Nacho Alvarez Jr.'s timely hit came in a chance to tie the game with two outs and runners on the first and third bases. Kim Ha-sung went to second base in the meantime. Kim Ha-sung's 「Best Friend" Jurickson Profar then hit the come-from-behind final hit.

While hitting the right-handed hit, Kim Ha-sung turned around the third base and homered with a fast base run. It was a short hit that rolled in front of right field through 1-2 bases. If it wasn't for Kim Ha-sung's run, it might have been difficult to score.

After Kim Ha-sung completed the come-from-behind score, Atlanta continued its seven-game winning streak at the bottom of the ninth inning with closer Raisel Iglesias blocking a scoreless run.
