A season batting average of 0.220
Kim Ha-sung of the San Diego Padres in the U.S. professional baseball league recorded two consecutive hits, raising his batting sense. Kim Ha-sung started as the 7th batter shortstop in an away game against Philadelphia today (18th) and got on base twice, recording one hit and one walk in two at-bats. Kim Ha-sung's batting average for the season rose slightly from 0.218 to 0.20. Kim Ha-sung recently suffered from a severe batting slump, but he hit a double against the New York Mets the day before and hit against Philadelphia for two consecutive games. Kim Ha-sung hit Sanchez's sinker of 150km/h in his first at-bat in the third inning to hit a hit in front of left field. It was a clothesline-like hit that measured the speed of the hit at 105.5 miles per hour and 170 kilometers per hour, and it pierced the defense of All-Star shortstop Trae Turner. Kim Ha-sung also walked on base in his second at-bat in the fifth inning to achieve multi-base hits in this game. However, his team, San Diego, fell into a four-game losing streak in a 9-2 loss to Philadelphia.
