Kim Ha-seong of the San Diego Padres has reached double digits in home runs for the third straight

season.

Kim smacked his 10th home run of the season against the Milwaukee Brewers at Petco Park in San Diego

on Saturday (local time).

With the Padres up 3-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning, Kim hit a solo shot off Brewers starter Carlos

Rodriguez. He sent an 83.2-mph slider into the seats in left field. The ball left Kim's bat at 97.5 mph and

traveled 374 feet.

Kim became the second South Korean player in the majors to hit at least 10 home runs in three straight

seasons, joining former big leaguer Choo Shin-soo (2008-2010, 2012-2015, and 2017-2019).

With 46 career home runs, Kim is now tied for third place all time among Korean players with former

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Kang Jung-ho. Veteran Choi Ji-man is in second place with 67 homers, and

Choo owns the record with 추천 218.

Kim had 11 homers in 2022, his second big league season, and then launched 17 homers last year.

Kim added a single in the seventh inning and finished the day 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. He is

batting .220 with an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of .721.

The homer was Kim's first since June 8. He is batting .231 this month with an .800 OPS.

The Padres won 6-4 to stretch their winning streak to four games
