Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) has a batting average that is much lower than last year. However, other indicators are similar except for the batting average.

As of Tuesday, when he played 76 games, Kim had 55 hits in 254 at-bats for a batting average of 0.217 (Korean time). His batting average is 4 percent lower than his team’s average of 0.257. His batting average is 36 percent lower than that of 0.253 (62 hits in 245 at-bats) during the same period last year.

In terms of on-base percentage, however, the on-base percentage was 0.330, slightly lower than 0.342 last year, and the slugging percentage was 0.382, slightly lower than 0.392 last year. OPS also stood at 0.712, not much different from 0.733.

The number of hitless games is 32 out of 76, almost the same as last year’s 31.

Due to the low batting average, it is seen as a poor batting overall. 토토사이트 순위

So why is the batting average noticeably low?

It seems to be because of the multi-hit game.

Last year, Kim had multiple hits (more than two hits per game) in 14 out of 76 games. He had three hits in three of them.

In contrast, there were 10 multi-hit games in 76 games this year. There was only one three-hit game.

Therefore, if Kim Ha-sung increases the number of multi-hit games in the future, his batting average will be lower than last year, but he will be able to raise to the 0.250.

Meanwhile, Kim Ha-sung started as the sixth batter’s shortstop in an away game against the Philadelphia Phillies of the 2024 U.S. Major League Baseball at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the 20th, and remained silent with no hits in four times at bat.

Kim Ha-sung, who was absent on Tuesday, was tied up by Philadelphia’s left-handed ace Ranger Suarez. Suarez is a top-rated pitcher with 10 wins and one loss with a 1.75 ERA in 15 games this season.

After striking out with a swing and miss in the second inning, Kim was caught with an infield grounder in the fourth inning. In the seventh inning, he turned to an infield grounder against right-hander Orion Kirkering, and hit a grounder towards the third baseman against Serantoni Dominguez with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the eighth inning with his team leading 2-1. Later, Kyle Higashioka had a three-run triple to send Kim home.
