Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) hit a lead-off home run in the first inning against Merrill Kelly, who played for the SK Wyverns (currently SSG Landers).
Kim Ha-sung started as the first third baseman in a home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2023 Major League at 4:12 a.m. on the 20th at Petco Park in San Diego, California, and hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning.
The home team San Diego, which allowed two runs from the top of the first inning and was trailing 0-2, hit a leadoff solo home run in the bottom of the first inning with No. 1 hitter Kim Ha-sung. The opposing pitcher was Kelly, who played in Korea. When Kelly's second 91-mile fastball came high toward his body, Kim Ha-sung pulled it and crossed the left-center fence to become his 16th home run of the season. 스포츠중계
