Social Media On Kim
Here’s what people have been saying about Kim:
@blakewbassham: “Braves are the BEST team in baseball. Let’s never sit Jim Jarvis again though; that man is one of our future all-stars. I wouldn’t complain if we released Ha-seong Kim today.”
@MinSub4: “Ha-Seong Kim has 5 hits in 84 plate appearances. There’s only been one MLB position player to end a season doing this, and it was almost 120 years ago”
@DiamondClemson: “So to all my Braves fans, can someone tell me what Ha Seong Kim does?”
@JonPowell81: “Why is Ha-Seong Kim still on the major league roster? 🤦🏼♂️ #Braves”
@andrew_constant: “Two pathetic at-bats for Ha-Seong Kim against Max Fried. He’s got five hits all season. Five! Four million per hit! He’s absolutely useless and not at all worthy of a roster spot on a contending baseball team.”

The Braves come into Sunday as the first-place team in the National League East with a 70-46 record in 116 games.
