Tampa Bay Hunhoon to return to Kim Ha -sung… “Vital for the team”
Kim Ha -sung (30, Tampa Bay Race) has returned to the big league. It returns in 320 days.
Kim Ha -sung played as a 7th batter shortstop in a visit to the 2025 Major League (MLB) Minnesota Twins held in the Minnesota Polly Target Field in Minnesota, USA on the 5th. Kim Ha -sung played the big league game only 11 months after the Colorado Rockies on August 19, when he was a member of San Diego Padris. At that time, Kim Ha -sung injured his shoulder during the base and had a shoulder joint suture in October. Kim Ha -sung, who was eligible for a free agent during rehabilitation, moved to Tampa Bay with a maximum of $ 31 million ($ 29 million guaranteed).
In the 320 -day major league stage, Kim Ha -sung scored three at -bats and one hit and one steal. He also showed a stable appearance in shortstop defense. The club has changed, but he showed off his stats in Gong, Water, and State. However, Kim Ha -sung hits the seventh round, and then succeeded in the second base steal, and then attempted to the third base.
Kim Ha -sung said, “There was no inconvenience in the calf before the steal. It would not be a big problem.” Kevin Cash Tampa Bay said before the game, “Kim Ha -sung arrived at the stadium with a slightly stiff condition. For the time being, I will watch Kim Ha -sung’s body every day.” Tampa Bay did not post Kim Ha -sung on the list of wounded (IL). It is reported that he did not shoot magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After the rehabilitation after surgery, I just returned and watched.
Although he was missing in the starting lineup in one day, Cash is very positive about joining Kim Ha -sung. In an interview with MLB.com (MLB.COM), Kathy said, “Kim Ha -sung is really talented in both attacks and defense. He will not make any mistakes.”
The teammates did not hide their welcome. “Kim Ha -sung was a loved player in San Diego,” said the outfielder Josh. “Kim Ha -sung is a player who plays hard and energizes the batting line. He is a dynamic player, he is good at choosing the ball, a good steal, and a defensive level.” Taji Bradley, who started on the 6th, said, “When Kim Ha -sung was rehabilitated, I had a conversation in the dugout, and I thought I had a high understanding of baseball.” “I used to only see it on TV, and now I can get help in defense.”
Tampa Bay is currently tied for second place (48 wins and 41 losses and 0.539 wins) with the New York Yankees, following the Toronto Blue Jace (51 wins 38 losses and 0.573 wins) in the eastern part of the American League. Kim Ha -sung said in an interview before the match on the 5th, “I came back here because I was confident. I want to follow the team’s direction and help it.”
