The MLB stove league is heating up in earnest.
In addition, Kim Ha-sung is also starting to draw attention from the market as a semi-class free agent. MLB.COM, the official website of the U.S. Major League Baseball, praised Kim Ha-sung (29) as “a free agent who can produce better-than-expected results.”
MLB.COM said on the 18th (Korea Standard Time), “It is not classified as a big fish in the FA market, but one of the FA’s that can expect high productivity is Kim Ha-sung. We don’t receive a qualifying offer (QO) from the original fastball team, so we don’t lose the right to nominate a rookie player when recruiting,” highlighting “quasi-class FA” Kim Ha-sung, Shane Bieber, Walker Buehler, Tyler O’Neill and Gleyber Torres.
Kim Ha-sung, cited by foreign media, is also undervalued in the FA market.
Kim Ha-sung injured his shoulder in August and missed the rest of the 토토사이트 season after undergoing surgery. He will also not be able to play in the opening game of the 2025 season. MLB.COM pointed out, “I only hit 0.242 with a slugging percentage of 0.380, during the four seasons of MLB. I have weaknesses in hitting by traditional standards.”
He also introduced Kim Ha-sung’s ability to hit double-digit home runs in the season, saying, “I don’t show off my superior long-range power like Pete Alonso, but I played an excellent defense in premium positions (strikes, second basemen, etc.). He is also good at running base and has the ability to hit double-digit home runs in the season.”
MLB.COM analyzed, “Due to the shoulder injury, it will be difficult for Kim Ha-sung to sign a larger contract than Willy Adames, the ‘biggest fish in the shortstop FA’, but if Kim Ha-sung recovers his health, he can perform at a similar level to Adames.”
