Korean big leaguer Kim Ha-seong, who plays for the San Diego Padres, tasted a home run in 19 games.
Ha-seong Kim hit a three-run home run that gave the team a lead again, 6-3 in the 5th inning, in a home game against the Cincinnati Reds of the 2023 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on the 2nd (Korean time).
In the 5th inning, where the score was tight at 3-3, Kim Ha-seong, who was in his third at-bat with 2 outs, 1st and 2nd base, did not miss Cincinnati left-handed pitcher Alex Young’s changeup miss on a ball count, 2 balls, 2 strikes.
Ha-seong Kim bent his right knee and pulled a changeup in the middle, leading to a home run that went over the left wall.
The batted ball speed reached 101.2 miles per hour (approximately 163 km), and the distance of the batting ball that slightly crossed the left fence was measured at 108 m.
Ha-seong Kim’s home run was the third of the season, and it came 22 days after the game against the Atlanta Braves on the 10th of last month.
Kim Ha-seong, who recorded 99 RBIs in his career until the previous day with a 3-year car in the big leagues, increased the number of RBIs to 102 by adding 3 with this home run. ㅋㅋㅋ벳

He opened the door to a tie with me and a cool zazen double.
