He will undergo shoulder surgery after the end of the season,” San Diego manager Mike Shildt said ahead of the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 29th (Korea time).

Kim Ha-sung was injured after getting on base after hitting a hit against the Colorado Rockies on April 19. He was forced to return to the first base to check the opponent team, but felt pain in his right shoulder and was immediately replaced. He was placed on the injured list after being diagnosed with inflammation of his right shoulder during a thorough examination.

He was initially expected to return at the end of August as he was not considered to be a major injury, but his joining was delayed, and he eventually underwent shoulder surgery.

Coach Silt explained, “Kim Ha-sung will undergo surgery related to shoulder joint cartilage.”

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Kim Ha-sung said, “I tried hard to come back to the team and help, but my body didn’t go as I wanted. This season is over. I’m so disappointed and frustrated.”

“San Diego means a lot to me. It’s like a family. I have a great chance to win this year’s championship. I can’t be with my team this fall, but I will root for my teammates from the bottom of my heart.”

Meanwhile, Kim Ha-sung’s move to become a FA after the end of this season has also been darkened as he is on the operating table. Locally, there was a rosy expectation that Kim Ha-sung would sign a super-large contract if he became a FA.

ESPN predicted that Kim Ha-sung will be able to sign a contract of $100 million to $200 million (about 134 billion won to 268 billion won). The Athletic also predicted that Kim Ha-sung will sign a seven-year contract of $130 million to $150 million (about 174.1 billion to 2009 billion won).

However, it is unclear whether Kim Ha-sung, who will undergo shoulder surgery, will be able to sign a long-term contract for a large amount of money.

“The shortstop who received the Gold Glove (last year) will come to the free contract market with uncertainty,” said MLB Trade Rumors, which deals with Major League Baseball news. “Multiple teams may hesitate to offer a significant amount of multi-year contracts (due to surgery).”

The media added, “There will be concerns about how his shoulder problem will affect him in the future.”

Kim Ha-sung, who entered the big league in 2021, strengthened his position by winning the Gold Glove last year.토토사이트 순위

This year, he played 121 games with a batting average of 0.233, 11 homers, 47 RBIs, 60 runs and 22 steals, which fell short of expectations. He has played in 540 games in the big league with a batting average of 0.242, 47 homers, 200 RBIs and 78 steals.

MLB Trade Rumors said, “Kim Ha-sung’s future ahead of surgery seems more uncertain than before.”
