Ha-seong Kim (28, San Diego Padres), who was replaced after being hit on the back of his left hand by a fastball, will start as a regular starter in the home game against the Colorado Rockies of the Major League Baseball (MLB) on the 14th (Korean time).

The San Diego team announced the starting lineup for the game against Colorado held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, and placed Kim Ha-seong as shortstop number 9.

MLB.com reporter AJ Cassavell said, “Kim Ha-seong returned to the lineup a day after being hit by a ball in his left hand,” and added, “No major abnormalities were found in the test results (yesterday).”

Ha-seong Kim was hit on the back of his left hand by a 152 km/h sinking fastball thrown by the opposing team's starting pitcher Walker Buehler in the 4th inning of the home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 13th.

Kim Ha-seong, who was complaining of pain, walked to first base and was replaced during the defense in the top of the 5th inning.

After the game, Ha-seong Kim said in an interview with local media, “I’m a lot better now.”

As of the 13th, Ha-seong Kim had performed somewhat poorly with a batting average of 0.208, 5 home runs, and 21 RBI.

In particular, the batting average since May is 0.182, which falls far short of expectations. 한국야동
