Ha-Seong Kim Swipes Two, Doubles in Padres Victory
by Chase Davis | Padres Correspondent | Fri, May 24th 9:15am EDT
Ha-Seong Kim went 1-for-3 with a double and two stolen bases in the Padres' 6-4 win over the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
Adding a walk and a strikeout to his line, Kim's performance was a mixed bag, but the stolen bases highlight his speed on the bases. Despite a struggling batting average of .216 this season, his ability to swipe bags (13 stolen bases so far) and get on base via walks (29 walks, .148 walk rate) keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value these categories. His power numbers are modest, and his BABIP at .239 suggests he's had some bad luck with balls in play, which could hint at potential improvement. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Kim for speed and runs scored, but temper expectations for batting average and power production.
