Kim Ha-sung (28, San Diego Padres), who is in charge of the team's lead, failed to continue the good flow of hard hits the previous day. I lamented at the absurd ball decision.

Kim Ha-sung played as the first batter and second baseman in the Pittsburgh Pirates' 2023 Major League (MLB) away game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 28th (Korea Standard Time), recording no hits and two strikeouts in five at-bats.

In the previous day's game, Kim Ha-sung swung hard with three hits and two RBIs in four at-bats. Although the team lost 4-9, Kim Ha-sung hit a timely two-run hit in the second inning following a leadoff hitter hit in the first inning, and survived with a hit in front of the center field in the seventh inning.

Kim Ha-sung, who was named in the first at-bat in six consecutive games, struck out after a five-ball match against Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. However, according to "Game Day" on the official Major League website MLB.com , the last 5th ball outside the strike zone was a ball that escaped. Kim Ha-sung, who was in the batter's box thinking it was a ball, looked at the ground as if he was embarrassed and returned to the dugout with his tongue out.
