San Diego Padres' main infielder Kim Ha-sung remained silent with no hits as he was overwhelmed by the disappointing referee's decision.
Kim Ha-sung started as the first batter and second baseman in a visit game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2023 U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 29th (Korea Standard Time), and was sluggish with no hits in five at-bats.
The season batting average dropped slightly from 0.254 to 0.253.
At the top of the first inning, there was a disappointing decision in his first at-bat.
Kim Ha-sung endured a ball that went out of bounds in a two-ball-2 strike against Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller, but the referee ruled it a strike. 토토사이트
Kim Ha-sung froze in surprise, smiled as if he was dumbfounded, and went into the dugout with his tongue sticking out.
In the top of the second inning, trailing 0-2, he stepped down with a left fielder fly ball in the top of the second inning and was out with an infield fly ball in the fifth inning.
In the seventh inning, when he chased 2-1, he stepped down with three strikeouts by changed pitcher Kaman Mlozinski, and he persistently targeted opposing team's fourth pitcher Cody Bolton in the top of the ninth inning with a two-out full base opportunity.
He stepped down with a ground ball to third base after a neck-and-neck race of nine pitches, including five fouls in a two-dollar one-strike ball count.
Pittsburgh utility player Bae Ji-hwan, who has been in a no-hit slump for the past nine games, is absent.
San Diego lost 1-7.
