The worst situation is when a defensive error leads to a goal being conceded. However, Kim Ha-seong (29, San Diego Padres) did not lose concentration and immediately made up for it with his batting and base running, leading the team to victory.
Ha-seong Kim started as the 6th hitter and shortstop in the game against the Chicago Cubs held at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 11th (Korean time) and played with 2 hits in 4 at-bats, 2 runs, and 1 stolen base.
Kim Ha-seong, whose batting average dropped to 0.196 before today's game due to a recent decline in batting ability, succeeded in rebounding.
However, the defense was not very satisfactory. In the top of the second inning, with one out and one on first base, Dansby Swanson's infield grounder was headed toward Ha-seong Kim, but Ha-seong Kim was unable to get the ball out of his glove and only caught the lead runner. 메이저사이트
Although the follow-up hitter, Mike Tuchman, retired with a base hit and did not score, San Diego starting pitcher Dylan Seas had to throw five more balls.
After poor defense in the beginning of the second inning, they made up for it with a score in the bottom of the second inning. After getting on base with an infield hit with one out and runners on first base, he also succeeded in stealing third base, helping the team take the lead by two runs.
There was another disappointing scene in defense in the top of the fourth inning. With two outs and no runners, Christopher Morel's batted ball could not be handled, allowing the team to get on base. This time, the Seas allowed a home run to follow-up batter Michael Bush, and Kim Ha-seong's error resulted in a run. The score was tied 2-2, and Ha-seong Kim lowered his head while Bush ran around the ground. Still, I gained strength again. Ha-seong Kim hit a triple in the bottom of the fourth inning with one out and no runner on base, and succeeded in scoring with an active base running play when Chris Campusano grounded to shortstop. It was the final score of the game that gave the team the lead again. Ha-seong Kim said in an interview with the San Diego Union Tribune, a local San Diego newspaper, after the game, “Both defense and offense are going through a bad trend these days.” He continued, “It is true that I was quite disappointed that a home run came after an error. “But he tried to focus on the rest of the game because the game was still going on.” He added, “He thought of different ways he could help the team, and I think he did that right away after the mistake.” San Diego coach Mike Silt also applauded Ha-Sung Kim's response after his mistake. Coach Silt said, “It can happen, but what happens afterward is important,” and added, “Today’s game showed just that.” He praised, “Kim Ha-sung looked disappointing in defense, but he focused on the present and gave us the lead with a good performance at the plate.” He emphasized, “That is the sign of a good player and a good team.” 슬롯사이트
