Kim Ha-seong, MLB FA Ranking 8th “Best Defender in Class… Expected 5-Year Contract”

There was a local article that said Ha-seong Kim (28, San Diego Padres), who will become a free agent (FA) at the end of this season, is one of the top ten players eligible for FA.

MLB Trade Rumors, a media outlet specializing in MLB player movement, said on the 28th (Korean time) that Ha-seong Kim was ranked 8th in the Major League Baseball (MLB) FA rankings as of June and that “Ha-seong Kim is one of the best defenders in his class.” 파워볼게임

The media added, “There are several indicators that explain Kim Ha-seong’s defensive performance.

The San Diego club gave high marks to his defense, to the point that they moved Sander Boharz to second base this season and put Kim Ha-seong at shortstop.”

Kim Ha-seong is considered one of the biggest fish among the infielders who entered the free agent market after this season.

If he had been as productive as he was last season at the plate, he would have been evaluated higher, but the media’s assessment is that his batting performance has not lived up to expectations.

The media said, “Kim Ha-seong is a decent hitter with excellent strike zone recognition and contact ability.

He has drawn walks as often as he has struck out,” but “His batting average of . 223, on-base percentage of . 333, and slugging percentage of . 385 are not impressive.”

This season, Kim Ha-seong is having a somewhat unlucky season, with his batting average on balls in play (BABIP) being only 0.236, which is far below his career average.

The media evaluated, “Kim Ha-seong, who hit 17 home runs last year, is following last year’s record with 10 home runs this year, but his long-distance hitting power is not at a threatening level.” 카지노
