Kim Ha-seong goes deep in Seoul exhibition game

San Diego Padres infielder Kim Ha-seong blasted a two-run home run over the outfield wall in his first at-bat in an exhibition game against the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome in western Seoul on Monday.

Kim, who played the last five years of his KBO career at Gocheok before moving to the Padres ahead of the 2021 season, brought home Manny Machado with the long ball.

The ball was popping at Gocheok Sky Dome on Monday afternoon, with LG's Oh Ji-hwan adding a long ball of his own just moments later.

As of press time, the Padres led 2-1 at the top of the third inning.
