| 3/21/24 | San Diego Padres: The Shortstop with the Tall Order. The Padres opened the 2024 season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, and emerging from the dugout of Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome was shortstop and native son Ha-Seong Kim. It didn't seem it would be that way after his first year in San Diego, not after batting a paltry .202 in 117 games. For the 2022 season, Kim was thrust into starting duties after then-shortstop Fernando Tatís broke his hand and was later suspended for steroid use. The consistent playing time allowed Kim to establish himself, and he raised his batting average almost 50 points and provided excellent, versatile defense.
