Kim Ha-sung started as the second batter and shortstop in the 2025 Minor League Triple-A regular season game between Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (under Miami Marlins) and Durham Bulls (under Tampa Bay Rays) at Vista Ballpark in Jacksonville, Florida on the 8th (Korea Standard Time) and played 2 hits, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 run and 1 stolen base in 3 at-bats.
Kim Ha-sung, who was out after hitting a fly ball to the first base at his first at bat in the top of the first inning, had a hit to the right in the top of the third inning with two outs and a runner on the first base. Kim gave his team the first run with a timely double at third base in the top of the sixth inning. It is a multi-hit ball that he has achieved in eight games since April 27.
He then stole third base and scored on Tristan Peters' hit to the left.
Kim Ha-sung finished the game in the top of the eighth inning by picking up a walk after the game of the eighth pitch and getting on base three times.
Kim Ha-sung has been recovering his batting performance little by little as he has had hits in two consecutive games. His batting average for Triple-A rose slightly from 0.115 to 0.172 this season, and his OPS is recording 0.519. Kim Ha-sung, who had been silent with no hits in 21 at-bats for six consecutive games from the 29th of last month to the 5th of this month, scored one hit in three at-bats in the previous game (6th) to give a clue to a rebound.
Since undergoing shoulder surgery in October last year, Kim has been playing Triple-A games since late May in order to return to the Major League. Kim, who played as designated hitter in the first four games of this season, has been playing defense since June. He started as second baseman in the first two games in June, and as shortstop in the latest two games, including the day, he showed his presence in infield defense as well
Kim Ha-sung is considered a player who shows strong batting performance every summer. In fact, he only hit 0.241 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and an OPS of 0.712 until May after the opening of the 2023 season, but from June to August, he proved his "summer effect" with a batting average of 0.298, 12 home runs, 34 RBIs and an OPS of 0.858.
The 2024 season also slowed down a bit with a batting average of 0.217 and an OPS of 0.674 for the month of May, but in June, it rebounded with a batting average of 0.256 and an OPS of 0.785.
His strength, which was stronger in the hot season from June to July than nicknamed "Summer Kim Ha-sung," is also the reason why he is looking forward to returning to June.
