Kim Ha-sung (29, San Diego Padres), who has been confirmed to be out of the season, will eventually undergo surgery.메이저사이트
San Diego reporter AJ Casabel of MLB.COM, the official website of Major League Baseball (MLB), said on the 29th (Korea time) that "Kim Ha-sung announced that he will undergo shoulder surgery after the end of the season."
"I tried every way I could to come back to help my team," Kim said. "But my body didn't go my way. I think this season is over at this point. I'm really frustrated and disappointed."
San Diego manager Mike Shildt previously reported that Kim Ha-sung failed to return to the team. He complained of shoulder pain while sliding to the first base to avoid checking the pitcher during a game against the Colorado Rockies on June 19. He was listed on the 10-day injured list two days later, and was expected to be able to return soon, but failed to return within the season. Shildt checked Kim's physical condition at the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, but confirmed that he would not be able to return to the team.
At the time, coach Silt said, "Kim Ha-sung failed to move on to the next stage. There is not enough time to return within the regular season. I played as a second baseman in a practice game with a minor league team and trained at the shortstop position, but the throw is not perfect yet."
For Kim Ha-sung, he left the team without finding the fall baseball he experienced in 2022. Kim Ha-sung, who made his MLB debut in 2021, grew into a main infielder in 2022, his second year, and helped him advance to fall baseball. In the wild-card series, he played with a batting average of 0.250 on-base percentage of 0.500 OPS of 0.875. He helped his team advance to the National League Championship Series.
San Diego is considered a strong candidate for the World Series this year, as it has confirmed its advance to the postseason with a wild card. This is because the batting balance is better than the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies, who have better performances. Xander Bogaerts is expected to keep the shortstop defense without Kim Ha-sung, and Jake Cronenworth is expected to keep the second baseman.
The FA jackpot contract also turned on a red light. Shoulders are the most important talent for infielders. If Kim Ha-sung, whose strength is defense, not hitting, is considered a strong point, other clubs may be reluctant to spend more than $100 million. It depends on the market situation, but for Kim Ha-sung, he was evaluated when it was quite difficult.
