San Diego Padres Kim Ha-seong
Lee Jeong-hoo, suffering from back pain, is expected to make his first appearance against Seattle on the 28th.
San Diego Padres’ starting shortstop Kim Ha-seong (28) did not play in the exhibition game due to the team’s consideration and took a break.
Ha-seong Kim did not play in the 2024 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs held at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona, USA on the 26th (Korean time).
According to San Diego’s official blog account, San Diego coach Mike Silt said in an interview with local media ahead of the game that day, “Kim Ha-sung played well yesterday,” and “In spring camp, he has to adapt to a new position and balance training and rest. “He was not included in the starting lineup,” he said.
Kim Ha-seong, who received the Golden Glove Award in the National League Utility Fielder category last season, was highly evaluated for his defensive ability and decided to play shortstop instead of second baseman in the new season.
Ha-seong Kim played shortstop in two exhibition games this year, and Coach Silt expressed satisfaction.
Ha-seong Kim also shows good performance in batting, recording 2 hits in 2 at-bats, 2 walks, and 1 RBI.
Go Woo-seok participates in practice game
Go Woo-seok, a bullpen pitcher from the same team who has not yet had a chance to play in an exhibition game, did not pitch in that day’s game either.
Instead, he warmed up by taking the mound in a team practice game held at the auxiliary stadium of the Peoria Sports Complex in Arizona, USA.
The local evaluation is not bad.Coach Silt said in an interview on the 25th, “Go Woo-seok will be able to pitch in a few days.”
San Diego won 7-0 over the Cubs in today’s exhibition game.
Meanwhile, San Francisco Giants’ starting outfielder Lee Jeong-hoo, who is taking a break due to minor back pain, also missed the exhibition game against the Texas Rangers held at Surprise Stadium in Arizona.
Lee Jeong-hoo complained of pain ahead of the opening of the exhibition game, and with the club’s consideration, he is only doing light personal training.
The injury is not serious.
MLB.com reporter Maria Guardado said, “The San Francisco club plans to send Jeong-hoo Lee out to the Seattle Mariners game on the 28th.”
On this day, San Francisco drew 0-0 with Texas. 토토사이트
