Ha-Seong Kim Goes Hitless In Five At-Bats
1 year agoSan Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim went hitless in five at-bats out of the leadoff spot in the 8-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night, but he also walked and stole his 36th base of the season. The 27-year-old has easily had the best season of his career in 2023, hitting .266/.356/.408 with 17 home runs, 20 doubles, 58 RBI, 36 steals and 80 runs scored in 142 games (578 plate appearances) in his third season with the Friars. However, Kim has begun to slow down at the plate in the season's final month, going just 8-for-50 (.160) with no home runs, six RBI, 16 strikeouts, seven stolen bases and four runs scored in 12 starts so far in September.
