However, at the end of the first half, only Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) plays on the MLB stage.

Kim Ha-sung, who can qualify as a free agent (FA) after the end of this season, has been playing a key role as the team’s shortstop throughout the first half.

However, it is regrettable that he is not good at batting.

In 97 games in the first half of the year, Kim Ha-sung has a batting average of 0.226, 10 homers, 40 RBIs, 38 runs and 18 steals. His poor batting performance has also affected his defense. He made only seven errors throughout the last season, but he has already recorded 10 this year. It is not a relief considering that he is only in charge of shortstop, who has a heavy burden on defense.

Lee Jung-hoo, the “grandchild of the wind” who entered the big league with much expectation, seemed to adjust easily at the beginning of the season, but ended the season in a month and a half due to injury.

Lee Jung-hoo, who signed a $113 million (about 155.88 billion won) contract with San Francisco through the posting system in December last year, played as the team’s No. 1 hitter center fielder from the opening. Lee Jung-hoo, who showed impressive performance in his first five games since his debut by batting .316 (6 hits in 19 at-bats) and one homer, four RBIs, had a batting average of 0.262 in 37 games, two homers, eight RBIs and 15 runs before he was injured.

But Lee Jung-hoo, who was cruising, dislocated his left shoulder after hitting a fence during defense against the Cincinnati Reds on May 13 and ended the season on the operating table. It was an unexpected surprise.

Bae Ji-hwan, who was in his second year of full-time in the big league, also ended the first half of this year in the minor leagues under the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bae Ji-hwan was expected to be included in the opening entry due to his performance last season, but he started the season in the minor league with a left hip injury in March. Since then, he was promoted to the big league on May 22 but was demoted to the minor league due to another wrist injury.

Bae Ji-hwan played in only eight games in the big league in the first half of the year, posting a batting average of 0.208 (55 hits in 24 at-bats) and two RBIs and five runs scored. In Triple-A of the minor league, he played 44 games and had a batting average of 0.354 (58 hits in 164 at-bats), four homers, 23 RBIs and 31 runs, which could lead to a big league call-up anytime in the second half.

In the case of Ko Woo-seok, he is not getting out of the swamp of sluggishness and is moving away from entering the big league stage.

Ko Woo-suk signed a two-plus-year, up to $9.4 million (about 12.97 billion won) contract with San Diego ahead of the 2024 season, but was eliminated from the opening roster after showing sluggish performance in spring training.

Ko Woo-seok, who had not been able to perform well since then, was traded to the Miami Marlins on May 4 and sought to rebound, but was unlucky to be released and transferred to the minor league. After that, he threw from Triple-A under Miami and recently went down to Double-A.

Ko’s performance this season is 3 wins, 2 losses, 2 holds, 1 save and an ERA of 5.09 while throwing 35 ⅓ innings in 28 minor league appearances.토토사이트 모음

Park Hyo-joon, who plays for Triple-A under the Oakland Athletics, had a hard hit of 0.477 at an exhibition game, but failed to overcome his disappointment by moving down to Triple-A. Since then, he has a batting average of 0.261 with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aces. He once looked forward to entering the Major League through his outstanding performance, but Oakland rarely gives Park a chance.

Choi Ji-man, who signed a split contract with the New York Mets in February, has not been promoted to the big leagues and has not played much due to injuries and sluggishness, exercising opt-outs last month and looking for a new team.
