- Ha-seong Kim has become one of the best defenders and most valuable players in Major League Baseball. Kim is the Padres' most versatile infielder playing 2nd, 3rd, or SS at an elite level on any given night. Sit back and enjoy his best defensive highlights from the first half of the 2023 season.

I’ve never seen a players name get chanted literally EVERY single at-bat it’s insane. I really hope padres are able to hold onto Kim for the long run
YES. San Diego loves him and he has grown the international fanbase. Get this...the Padres are playing Opening Day 2024 in Korea. Kim MUST be on that roster!!
@@jeremyrpittman+The baseball field is Kiwoom's homeground which is experienced to Kim
Whoa! I cannot miss this game. Trying to convince my wife to fly half way around the world for it (she is Korean so I think there is a chance)
@@jeremyrpittman nice hope I could get to see the game too!
@@jeremyrpittmanNext season will be Kim's last year with the Padres unless they offer him extension. But based on how many extensions they've given out, its unlikely they will be able to keep Kim even though he deserves an extension more than everyone in that roster who are overpaid and not doing anything. But hey, there's always room for him with the Dodgers. We need a shortstop and we got a big Korean community here in LA. Kim is always welcome to come to the Dodgers. 😁
マジで好きだわ。アジア人がMLBのショートストップ張れる日が来るとはマジで思わんかった。普通にホームラン王くらい高い壁かと思ってた。😊
キムがより多くのアジア人に遊撃手としてのプレーを促すことを願っています!
I am a Korean who loves Kim Ha-sung. Thank you for loving Kim Ha Sung
파드레스 팬들의 사랑이 김하성을 성장시키는 것 같아요!❤
ほんとにかっこいいよなー
来シーズンが待ちきれない
I love our king HSK! Straight baller, gives 100% on the field. I hope he's in SD for a few more years!
A few?! Give this man the key to the city! Lol🗝️👑
体幹と肩が強すぎる
deserved an all-star spot!! he's been unreal
All Star snub for sure! Hopefully he gets a Gold Glove...
I love great defensive players. That hustle play running out to left field to throw out the runner going to third was incredible.
Thats how you play hustle infield. 🎉
💯 that might be my favorite highlight. Kim is probably the only shortstop in the league with baseball IQ + hustles enough to make that play possible.
I watch baseball for defensive plays. Gotta love an energetic infielder.
2:54 Love this moment 😊
Quite surprised with Kim tbh. he was more known for his hitting and base running skills when he was in Korea then all of a sudden he's defensive skill stepped up immensely in MLB. But anyway it's always good to see him doing good and padres fan loving him.
I've heard that before and it's super interesting! I'd love to learn how Kim took his defense to a whole new level for MLB. He must have put in some serious work in the off-season.
Right! Maybe much of it is to the poorer condition of the field grass in Korean ballparks? Anyway, I am so glad to see his improved defense. So entertaining to watch.
@@jayhan1968 It's partially true, the grass Kim used at the gochuk sky dome was artificial grass, which is not an easy grass to defend on
@@jeremyrpittman So recently Kim appeared in a popular Korean variety show interview where he said, when he first came to the states, he cried a lot by himself at home and tried to adjust to MLB level pitching through batting cage practices everyday. Realizing his offense would need some time improving, he said he put it all out on the field every time he was on defense so that he could a least contribute that way.
There were also some funny stories that Kim told such as the fact that during team dinners, he tries to stick close to Machado’s table because that’s where the good and expensive wine tend to be
Bro really is maximum effort
Seriously. It's amazing he stay healthy too.
If he doesn't win a Gold Glove this year then that award has no credibility
💯 it's already lost credibility in my mind but that would be the final nail in the coffin
Fan favorite player!
強いしかっこいいし、性格的にも大好きな選手。
당신도 멋있어요
歴代でもアジアNo.1どころか今のメジャーNo.1の守備力だと思う。
Happy to see Asian players do so well transitioning to the MLB. This Era of baseball is electric with Kim and Ohtani at the forefront of the league!

2:42 That defense for 2022 SS Golden glove nominee was tough 🔥🔥
Love Kim and don’t look now but he’s hitting .270 with an .800+ ops gotta be one of the most underrated players in mlb and I really hope he stays with the padres forever. thx for the vid
Every day he plays his heart out gives it his all with great enthusiasm!!! He is a gem thank you A.J. for finding this diamond in the ruff.
Yep! First year .203 second.253... and what is he hitting now like .281.... Not to mention 3rd in MLB in WAR
Handsome King🎉
🤴🏻
So much fun to watch Kim's sensational defense play...
I'm glad you enjoyed it...Kim is a ton of fun to watch
We are proud of him😂
You should be! Kim is the MAN!
우리 하성이 수비는 예술이다~
그것은 아름다운
San Diego fans love Ha - Seong Kim very much
💯♥️
Thank you for the great video!! I’ve wanted to see a compilation like this - haven’t had time to follow Padres games this year
🙏 I enjoyed making it! I was surprised that more Kim compilations haven't been uploaded. Might need to do an offensive one next.
its really fun to watch this guy.
The very definition of a professional baseball player
A true pro!
hes so fun to watch. one of the best def players ive seen.
💯 He's a human highlight reel!
my vote for Padres MVP for 2023.
💯
I was at the game at 0:30, and I was at the game last night where he hurt his shoulder diving full speed at home where they were trying to tag him out. Dude has no care for his safety as long as he makes the play for his team. Hope he knows he doesn’t have to kill himself for us, but man what a feeling having him on our team.
That's an insane catch to see live! Puts the Derek Jeter catch to shame! Kim goes all out on every play which is awesome but the Padres need him healthy too!
King Ha-seong!!!!!
👑
보고싶었던 영상!!!
he is doing so well rn, he is literally batting 273 with an ops of 810
Now 288 😭
감사합니다. 항상 잘 보고 있습니다.
김하성 화이팅! 항상 응원합니다
Lets go Haseong Kim. I hope he stays with the padres but lets see whats gonna happen
I know! I'd hate to see Kim get traded but I could potentially see it making sense depending on the deal.
하성아 진짜 멋있다..화이팅
Thank you for this video
Of course! Kim deserves the love! Let me know if there is anything else you would like to see.
@@jeremyrpittman 💯✌️
Professional and plays with heart no doubt
Everything you want in a ball player!
Thank you !!!
🙏
Yup, of course he seems he got right work ethic. But definitely pure talent too.
In Kim's case, I think his work ethic and effort got him to this high level. He isn't the tallest, fastest, or strongest. But no doubt has some impressive God given ability too.
김하성 사랑해
좋은영상 감사합니다
Great editing. Thanks for the video
Thank you Joko! This was a new type of video for me (highlight reel with a storyline)
파드레스가 와일드카드 받았으면 좋겠다 ㅠㅠ 포스트시즌 가야지 ~~~~
This is impressive!
I'm working on the next one for ya! 😉
Ha-Seong Kim!!!!!!
🇰🇷🎉⚾
I really love the way he plays defense.
There is a lot to love!
let's go for the best Utilityman for this year to win Gold Glove Please, also thank you for showing support to foreign players from the East making it big in Majors to @Jeremy Pittman. Keep up with the more future posts for any players still
🙏 thank you. You just have to respect the way players from KBO and NPB play the game. Kim deserves that Gold Glove!!
I don’t think there is another versatile infielder like Kim in the MLB, at least not with such shoulder strength and agility.
Agreed! It's crazy that he can play 3 infield positions at an elite level.
Dude is a ball player. Does it all exceptionally well
If you are a true baseball fan, you know the weight of the name Ha-Seong Kim of Padres. You appreciate not only his crazy stats but the motivation he brings to the team by actually hustling, showing and proving for himself in the games. You as a teammate must be crazy to just sit there less interested seeing Kim's effort to win. Kim is at the moment Padres and Padres is Kim. Oh yea sure Padres better be ready with a blank check next season.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well said
와우...집중력 좋네요
2:08 Machado : wtf...? Why is the ball in my hand?
Lol right...he did a double take at his glove
Yeah, he is Hustle King! XD
💯
이건 뭐.. 거의 힐링 영상이네 ㅋㅋㅋ
As far as I know no MLB player from my home country has ever won Gold Glove. I’m hoping he’s the first. Fingers crossed 🤞.
Kim is a GG finalist at 2nd and Utility. Tommy Edman (half Korean) is also in the running. 🤞🤞

Ha seong kim hyper-sonic !
Ha-seonic!!!
doesn't he lead the padres in war and is top 5 in the majors in war?
Yep exactly. bWAR puts a ton of value on Kim's defense!
Gawddang, how’d he blow up this year like that??? He’s sneaky good, very underrated this year it seems.
Thank you for the video, I could watch HSK forever ❤
Happy to make it. HSK deserves the love and more highlight reels!
Top 10 player in baseball
💯 Kim just finished up the best MLB season of his career and his WAR is insane!
Oh he can play
요즘 배트도 미쳤음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 편집자형 뭘 좀 아는구만
I just replied to one of the comments but I wanted to leave one here just to say thank you man. Love your content and thanks for putting spot light on HSK. He’s my favorite players and genuinely a great player both offensively and defensively but I feel like he barely gets talked about it at all by analysts or anyone else, appreciate you doing that.
Thank you! 🙏 It feels great to hear that and helps me know I'm on the right track with my videos and shorts. HSK definitely deserves more love so happy to fill that gap on CZcams.
Mudly Grant announcer loves him and recognizes his elite play
It’s a shame that I can’t even find any Kim gear at PETCO. Unreal. He’s gonna be a 2024 all-star.
Seriously! They need to get his jersey in the Team Shop. My wife had to customize a jersey last year to get Kim on the back. It would be nice to have some shirts and other gear too
The Korean community nationwide must be proud of Kim.
Yes definitely. I've gotten so many comments on this video from Korean fans all over the world!
HSK for the most surprising player of the year in Padres and gets long-term contract.
Hasungking!
👑👑👑
His defence was underrated in KBO before he came SD.
Even A Korean coach said his defense "Look his defense. DEFENSE!!(It's so awful 😖)" Korean baseball fens wondered ar his good defense.
I need to figure out how he got so good! He must have changes his mentality and training on defense.
번역하세요 김하성 kbo 홈구장은 인조잔디였습니다 천연잔디구장에서 진짜 실력이 나오기 시작한겁니다
@@jeremyrpittmanI heard he trained defense first in MLB, So not good hitting but show good defense performances in 2021.
It was right that he choose to train defense first and SD can wait his hitting better till now.
2:42 보기 좋네....일본 최고 투수랑 한국 최고 내야수가 한팀이 되어서 서로 도와주고 격려하고....ㅎ 경제나 정치쪽에서는 쉽지 않은 모습이지만 스포츠는 순수하군
At 2:30 that hop he did when he spun around he definitely practiced that, as a shortstop I did that every practice for about an hour. That jump before the hop really helps you place your feet perfect to throw immediately. He does it effortlessly so light on his feet I love watching him
Ga Ja ~ Ha Seong Ah ~ 😋
He’s been the best infielder since he came into the league. When he took over for Tatis at SS, Padres went from the team with the most errors to the team with the least errors. Not saying Tatis isn’t a great SS and there are things that he can do that Kim can never do but Kim needs to be there. Bogaerts is great too but I hope he can swallow his pride and start slowly switching with Kim. We’ve seen short stops struggle at second early in the transition…thinking of Trea Turner. And Tatis needs to be in Center Field. If the best athlete on your team isn’t at short then he better be in center. Doesn’t mean he’ll never play short again, there will be plenty of chances. I would also like to see Tatis back at short every once in awhile. You gotta let these guys play and have fun. Bob ain’t taking advantage of his roster and letting some of these guys get the job done their own way. I bet Manny would be stoked to have a couple days there too.
Crazy that he got snubbed from the All Star Game, he's been the padres MVP thus far
💯 Kim absolutely should have been an all star this year.
Wow
😲
Alomar used to make those plays standing up. He had more range than a cattle baron.
LOL "More range than a cattle baron" I'm gonna use that
We could see a great infielder at just ONE position but hardly can't find out the player who can perfectly cover 3 positions. .
Exactly! That's what makes him so valuable and special. He can play Gold Glove caliber defense at 3 infield positions.
😮👍
he deserves a better team
😂😅😭
Go go golden glover 2023
It's happening!
형들 여기야!
It was probably scary for him to come over here. And then the Padres fans embraced him.
right? The SD fan base has really embraced Kim. I really hope he considers that when it comes time to re-sign.
It's interesting. We did not really expect that he is gonna defense this well.
That's what I hear from KBO fans... I'd love to hear how Kim worked to improve his defense
If the Padres trade him, I will lose my shit.
If they trade Kim, we riot!
@@jeremyrpittman Absolutely.
lol!!! Kim will sign with the team that gave him the oppty. he is that kind of a player.
Best Padress SS this year
Xander has left the chat 😂
How about padres highlight wins since they trolled Kershaw on screen in SD? That would be a great video. Love to see those wins SD is racking up.
I was actually at Petco Park for the infamous jumbotron troll and made a video about it czcams.com/video/Lb2oSPqNUf4/video.html
Hsk ❤
All Star in our hearts!
mlb Defensive top Kim
serie A Defensive top Kim
Elite infielder!
화성큄 잘하노
THE KOREAN KING
🇰🇷👑
20-30 season for Kim.
Dude is literally in the top 5 in the majors in bWAR. Only guys named Franco, Betts, Acuna Jr. and some rando called Ohtani are higher. WTH when did this happen? 😂
I know it's insane! I'm not a sabermetrics expert but it seems Baseball Reference (bWAR) puts a lot more emphasis on defense which bumps Kim's score. His fWAR isn't in the top 20.
@@jeremyrpittmanHe’s currently 22 in fWAR out of 750 active players in mlb rosters. That’s still insanely good. Better than Lindor, Bichette, Yelich and some dude named Trout.
@@mensrea1251 💯 when you put it like that...damn!
@@jeremyrpittman lol ikr I felt the same way like how’d this happen to Kim??? Like out of left field (pun haha)!
대한민국의 하성킴 놀랍군요... 영상만 보고 수비 원툴의 냄새가 났는데, 타격지표를 보니 타격실력도 상당하군요..
하성이는 적응하면 괴물이 된다.
hawesom Kim !!
🇰🇷⚾🎉
Mmm... where is that game (save Hader) won thanks to Kim's great defense?
Idk. Do you remember the date of the game or who the Padres were playing?
I remember maybe July 4th. It was a game between the Padres and the Angels and the Padres won 8-5
Cronenworth + Bogarts = Ha seong kim
The sad thing (for the Padres) is Kim has legit been as valuable as Bogey and Cron combined.
Everybody cheers for him but I barley see ANYONE wearing his jersey DONT get me wrong there’s a lot of Kim jerseys but not as much as we should be seeing at Petco I c more Soto machado tatis which is fine as well
HSK chanting is already unbelievable. jersey is icon. fans dunno if HSK will be with SD next year and the next year. as a sports fan I understand that.
in defensive play he is so greedy 😂😂 gotta trust Grisham a bit more
Ya that first catch should have been Grisham's ball and I think Kim knew it immediately after the play.
His greedy play made many errors as he played in KBO.
Those play made to underrate his defense before he played SD.
Many Korean fens worry about his greedy play make him bad..
