Kim Ha-sung started as the eighth shortstop in an away game against the Colorado Rockies in the 2024 Major League Baseball at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado on the 19th (Korea Standard Time), and was replaced by an unexpected injury.
Kim Ha-sung appeared as a leadoff hitter at the top of the third inning when the score was 0-0, and had a hit to the left. Colorado starter Bradley Blaylock was caught in a 1B-2S unfavorable count, but he succeeded in hitting a four-seam fastball of 94.9 miles (152 kilometers) in the sixth pitch following a foul on the fourth pitch and a five-seam fastball in the last three consecutive games.
However, the joy did not last long. After Kyle Higashioka, a follow-up hitter, struck out, Blaylock threw a check ball to the first base at the batter’s box against Luis Arraez, and the injury occurred.
Kim Ha-sung was returning to first base with headfirst sliding, but he held his right shoulder. He was “iron man” Kim Ha-sung, who usually plays even in most injuries, but he immediately sent a replacement signal to the bench and finished the game early as he was replaced by pinch runner Tyler Wade.
Kim Ha-sung complained of severe pain in his right shoulder. He walked to the dugout holding his shoulder and threw his helmet down the stairs, showing a sensitive reaction.
AJ Casabel, a San Diego reporter for the Major League’s official website MLB.com , said on his SNS, “Kim Ha-sung is currently unable to move his right shoulder. I think the exact shoulder condition will be announced after the game.” Kim Ha-sung met with a huge unfavorable factor of injury at the end of the 2024 season.
San Diego, ranking second in the National League West, failed to fill Kim Ha-sung’s gap and lost 2-3 to last-place Colorado, ending up with a three-game away losing series. At the bottom of the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and third bases, San Diego knelt down after being hit by an RBI single to Jacob Stallings and an RBI infield grounder to Sam Hillerard.토토사이트 순위
In the top of the eighth inning, leadoff hitter Manny Machado hit a solo home run on the left side to chase 2-3 under the chin, but it was not enough to tie the game. With Donovan Solano walking after one out in the top of the ninth inning, Araez threw a fly ball to left field and Jurickson Profar grounded out to second base, which ended the game as it was
