‘First Korean Big Leaguer’ Kim Hae-Sung Reaches Unheard Of 30 Steals…3 Home Runs Away From 20-30
Kim Ha-seong (San Diego Padres) stole his 30th base of the season.
Kim started at first base in the first inning of the Padres’ 2023 Major League Baseball home game against the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on April 4. In the top of the first inning, with the score 0-0, Kim singled to right and stole second.
Kim lined a three-pitch 94-mph sinker to right field with two outs against San Francisco starter Alex Cobb, and then stole second on a wild pitch from Fernando Tatis Jr. His first stolen base in nine games since Aug. 26 against the Milwaukee Brewers.바카라사이트
30 steals for the season. Became the first Korean major leaguer to reach 30 stolen bases in a season. The most stolen bases by a Korean major leaguer in a single season in history. With three more home runs, Kim will reach 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases, something neither Shin-Soo Choo nor Shohei Oh (Los Angeles Angels) have done.
However, with two outs, Kim was tagged out at third base on a grounder to shortstop by Tatis. The second baseman shouldn’t have gone to third on the infield grounder in front of him, but he took a chance and tried to advance, which didn’t work out.
