@BeaneaterB Since Ha-Seong Kim's salary is so big, I don't think DFA or release will happen right away.
But if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity he's given, his position will be diminished.
Braves SS Ha Seong-Kim may not have much time left...😔
4 AB
0 H
2 K
0 HARDHIT
0 xBH
.105 AVG
.314 OPS
-2 wRC+
-4 OAA
-0.6 fWAR
With 38 AB | .148 BABIP, there is not enough sample and bad luck to criticize him.
If can't bounce back even after 100+ AB, DFA HIM.

@MichaelVG19 Kim earns aav 20m, so there will be no DFA or Release right away.
But if he doesn't rebound, I think his position in the team will decrease further 😢
@ChoppinBravos They'll probably use Dubon as the everyday shortstop. While he truly shines as a super utility guy, he proved his worth by posting an +3 OAA at shortstop 😌
@Eric35_Yu He has only had 38AB and THEY cut his rehab in half after he didn’t have a regular offseason, spring training or start to this season.
Hes got plenty of time left and they aren’t DFA’ing him. Who is taking his place what other SS in this system is ready to start?
@TheBryanBrewton I think His batting can wait, but if his defense—which used to be his strength—continues to be shaky, he shouldn’t be our everyday shortstop...😑
@FigureitoutMate Kim's biggest strength used to be his defense (Gold Glove), but even that is gone now.
his biggest strengths at the plate was his K%, which is at a career-high this year.
bat speed is career-high, but his swing length is the longest it's ever been, causing his timing late.
@99braves834 It’s a good thing it’s a one-year contract.
If Kim had stayed healthy during the offseason, he might have become a shortstop with a 3-4 WAR... 😭
