The INSANE Arrival of Ha-Seong Kim

Ha-Seong Kim is a rising star and one of the game’s most underrated players. His infectious energy and wizardry with the glove have mesmerized spectators since his first season with the Padres in 2021. He has never been anchored to one spot, excelling at three infield positions. In only a few years, Kim has demonstrated great adaptability and has made significant improvements offensively. He is one of the most talented Korean players to join MLB. Kim is a beloved player in San Diego, where at his home field, Petco Park, Padres fans erupt with Ha-Seong Kim chants! He is also well-liked within the clubhouse, known for his respectful nature and camaraderie.
