Kim Ha-sung of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) was evaluated as the best player among the batters in the free agent market this winter.
Based on five criteria (five tools), MLB.COM on the 27th (Korea time) introduced the “FA hitter with the best ability in each category.” The so-called “five tools” are commonly used when identifying players’ abilities in baseball.
In addition to contact, which is the ability to hit the ball, strength, main focus, defense, and throwing were considered as five tools, and the batters who stood out in each category were selected.
Among them, Kim Ha-sung was recognized as capable in the main game. 꽁머니.COM said, “There are not many players with speed in the FA market,” adding, “Kim Ha-sung is excellent in the main game and has the ability to use the main game.”
“Kim Ha-sung succeeded in stealing 22 bases this year by utilizing his flagship, and last year he stole 38 bases at a sprint speed of 28.5 feet (8.69 meters) per second,” the media said. “Kim Ha-sung has recorded 60 stolen bases at a speed of 28.4 feet (8.66 meters) per second over the past two years.” He also analyzed that Kim Ha-sung’s main focus also affects the game.
Kim Ha-sung, who was put on the operating table in October after injuring his shoulder during a game against the Colorado Rockies in August, is rehabilitating with the goal of returning in April or May next year. If he recovers his shoulder, he can also receive high scores in defense and throwing.
