This time, I'll show you a double plus three consecutive hits Waverpick Kim Ha-sung, who is becoming Atlanta's treasure, is consistent in his first double blast



The jagged performance is now on track. The three consecutive hits are proof.

Kim Ha-sung of the Atlanta Braves contributed to the team's victory with a double and three consecutive hits for the first time since moving to the team. It is also encouraging to show long-range power through a double, but it is more meaningful in terms of achieving hits in three consecutive games. It is proof of hope that the performance, which has not been stable since returning from injury, is gradually finding its place.

Kim Ha-sung started as the 5th shortstop in an away game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington, USA, on the morning of the 16th (Korea time), and Kim Ha-sung scored 1 hit (double), 1 walk, 1 RBI, and 1 run in 3 at-bats, driving his team's 11-3 victory. Kim Ha-sung, who had hits in three consecutive games, had a season batting average of 0.238 (30 hits in 126 times at bat).

In particular, Kim Ha-sung maintained a good sense of play with hits in three consecutive games from the match against Houston on the 14th. In a home game against Houston the previous day, Kim Ha-sung achieved '3 hit game' for the first time this year. Continuing that momentum, he played well against Washington on the day, hitting his fourth double this season and his first since joining Tampa Bay. However, the double play from the first and third bases with no outs in the top of the fourth inning was a fly in the ointment.

Kim Ha-sung came to his first at-bat as a leadoff hitter in the top of the second inning. However, he pulled the outside low four-seam first pitch of the opponent's left-hander Mitchell Parker and then grounded out to third base.

Then, in the top of the fourth inning, he took his second at-bat with no outs and runners on the first and third bases. The opponent is Parker. Atlanta had three consecutive hits earlier, tying the game 1-1. Kim Ha-sung appeared in the first and third base chances with no outs made in this way. A situation where both consecutive and bulk scores are possible. The direction of Atlanta's attack was dependent on Kim Ha-sung's bat.




Kim Ha-sung faced Parker again this time. I watched the four core in the early 90 miles through the strike zone with the first and second pitches. Kim Ha-sung, who picked out the ball on the third pitch, hit the fourth pitch four-pitch four-pitch center to make a foul. At ball count 1B2S, the fifth pitch splitter came into the strike zone slightly outside. Kim Ha-sung pulled this ball hard.

The batting speed was 98 miles, which was part of the hard hit. However, the direction was not good. It was a typical 6-4-3 (striker - second baseman - first baseman) double play as he headed straight to Washington shortstop CJ Abrams. While the double play was completed, third baseman Ronald Acuña Jr. homered and scored a 2-1 come-from-behind score. It was recorded as Kim Ha-sung's RBI.

Kim Ha-sung, who showed poor batting in the previous two at-bats, showed a long shot to make up for it in his third at-bat in the top of the sixth inning.




Kim Ha-sung, who came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the sixth inning with a 5-1 lead, hit a long shot in the third match against Parker. This time, there was a long game of up to 10 pitches. The ball count became 2S due to first-pitch strikes and second-pitch fouls. In an unfavorable situation, Kim Ha-sung's persistent 'cut play' began.

Kim Ha-sung, who picked out his body's ball on the third pitch, fouled off sliders on the fourth and fifth pitches. Parker tried to induce Kim Ha-sung to swing and miss by changing his direction to a high course outside and a low course on his body, but the seasoned Kim Ha-sung did not fall for it.

In the end, the sixth ball is his body ball again. The ball count has become 2B2S. Parker changed the repertoire. He lured Kim Ha-sung by throwing a high-course four-seam fastball, not a breaking ball. However, Kim Ha-sung countered with three consecutive foul cuts. When the struggle didn't work, Parker threw the ninth curve to the high course. It was a bit of a struggle. When the 79-mile curve came in high, Kim Ha-sung swung the bat as if he had been waiting.

A powerful hard hit ball with a batting speed of 104.2 miles (about 167.7km) flew to the left outfield like a bullet and became a double. It gave the team a chance to play second base with no outs.

Kim Ha-sung, who went to second base, turned 3rd base vigorously and came home to score a point during the subsequent timely hit to the right by Drake Baldwin. Kim Ha-sung, who regained his confidence with a double, walked at the top of the seventh inning when he had a chance to get on the second and third bases with two outs. Again, he calmly drew a walk after a six-pitch game to complete the multi-base game. However, he struck out in his last at-bat in the ninth inning.

The biggest virtue for a player who has returned from injury is to show consistency, not flash performance. Kim Ha-sung showed off his robustness with hits in three consecutive games. Long balls such as home runs are good, but for now, it is necessary to focus on producing hits in consecutive games. What Atlanta expects is that Kim Ha-sung will play the center hitter of the team in earnest next season through this steady recovery.
