The pitching, culture and food was all part of the adjustment as Ha-seong Kim waded through in first MLB season with Padres
Because some things transcend cultural divides, Ha-seong Kim relaxed a bit when he discovered his palate agreed with Phil’s baby back ribs. Not that the San Diego County barbecue chain truly compares to his mother’s kimchi stew or anything else that Sun Young Na whipped up for Kim while staying with him at different points during his first year in Major League Baseball.“The toughest part was not knowing what’s going to happen the next day,” Kim said.
Kim understood the move. That didn’t make it any easier to perform when his opportunities arrived, as scarce they were after the All-Star break. The Padres’ Manny Machado and Ha-seong Kim walk back to the dugout during a spring training game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday, March 21, 2022 in Peoria, AZ.
He’d previously completed the basic training. But his baseball endeavors had prevented him from completing his community service hours until after his first big-league season. Sure, CJ Abrams is hot to start spring training, but he’s collected just 348 official plate appearances as a pro and remains a long shot to break camp with the team. Yes, Jake Cronenworth can slide over to shortstop, too, but “we signed Kim for a reason” new Padres manager Bob Melvin declared as camp opened.
