Ha-seong Kim (27, San Diego Padres) hit her third home run of the season.
Kim Ha-seong started as the 9th batter shortstop against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Major League Baseball (MLB) held at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on the 30th (Korean time) and hit a home run from the first bat.
Kim Ha-seong, who hit a home run in the game on the 27th against the Cincinnati Reds and drove three games including the final hit in the game on the 29th, showed off the climax of hitting that day as well.
Kim Ha-seong, who was at bat at 1st and 1st base in the third inning, which the team was behind 0-2, hit Pittsburgh starting pitcher Jack Thompson’s 92.3 mile fastball in a two-ball, one-strike with all his might. The batted ball flew like a clothesline and went over the fence to the left of his outfield.
It was Kim Ha-seong’s third season and 11th career home run. He also added two RBIs and had a double-digit RBI (10) for the season. He also has a long slugging streak in his last three games.
