Ha-Seong Kim is as fun to watch as Shohei Otani, and has the most beautiful right-handed swing I've seen in a long time. I feel quite old knowing he's younger than me. Lol.
Might as well riot right now. Padres won't be able to sign him. Kim's value has grown lot higher while his trade value diminishes as he gets closer to free agency. So every team will be eyeing him. Padres spent all their money on Tatis, Machado, Darvish, Bogaerts, and Musgrove. Padres can't afford Kim. They should've extended Kim instead of Cronenworth and Kim was lot cheaper to extend back in end of 2022, early 2023. Kim would've easily signed Cronenworth's contract. Now, Kim is more valuable than Cronenworth and he will seek high contract. Since Kim is not under Boras, MANY teams will want to compete to sign him. So good luck trying to keep him.
@@Passions I doubt it. As a Dodgers fan, I would love to, especially when we are desperately in need for a shortstop that we have to bring in Mookie Betts from outfield to play shortstop. Our 3rd baseman Muncy sucks ass now. So many of his fielding errors costed us. Ha Seong Kim is perfect fit not just to the Dodgers but to every other team. But Dodgers have spent over 1.3 bil just this past offseason. Unless Kim chooses to do deferred payment, which I highly doubt because the dude actually NEEDS money, Dodgers wont afford him due to high luxury tax they have. Kim is not gonna be cheap. He is easily gonna seek 150+ mil if he does well how he did last season. I would wish he comes to the Dodgers just so that I can see how all the saltiness and butthurt behavior from the Padres fans. But reality is, he wont be because his value is up there.
As a SF Giants fan, I'm really hoping we can somehow land this kid to our squad and what you just showed is exactly the reason why! He is one special player and San Diego would be out of their mind if they don't re-sign him and keep him for a long a time!
So glad you did this video. As a Giants fan, I couldn’t help but notice the rise of Kim. He seems to keep getting better. I hope the Giants can sign him next year as I hear he’s really good friends with Jung Hoo Lee

I'm a life long Giants fan too and I'm hoping we can grab this kid if San Diego decides not to re-sign him (they'd be crazy not to). What he brings to the club is nothing short of special and we can really use him. GO GIANTS!!!
Kim's agent is not Boras. And Boras is not a good agent to have anymore. Lot of teams are not willing to work with Boras because he's known for overpricing his players and jipping off teams. Did you not see how Snell, Bellinger, Montgomery, all had to sign short term deals? None of them got over 100 mil contract. Kim on the other hand, will seek out over 100 million dollar contract. Only one who got a 100 million dollar contract under Boras was Kim's friend Lee Jung Hoo who signed $113 million 6 year contract. So clearly, Kim is going to want more than that.
Seriously, my team(NY METS) should make the effort to sign H.S. Kim, he's not that expensive and a above average player.......I know he's injured right now but I will BET my House that he's definitely worth the signing!!!.......He plays 3rd, ss, and 2nd!!!!........it's just a thought!!!
I believe Kim has a base salary of about $7 million for this year. The Padres should pull a Dodgers and defer next year's salary. By 2026, Hosmer's $12 million dollar contract will come off the books and Padres could offer him a 15 to 20 million dollar AAV contract to begin in 2026. Maybe the Padres could offer him a 4 year $80 million with player options? 4 year because Leo DeVries should be ready by the time Kim's contract is up.

lmao no way
@@monkeydly9004silly monkey 🐒
Kim is that guy! Been watching him since the KBO! Still under appreciated here in the MLB I hope it changes this season
Absolutely, I think it's only a matter of time before Kim gets the attention he deserves!
@@Cam23 am an yankees fan but ortizneeds a vid class act and funny met him still signed my baseball Even though I had a jeter jersey on
Oh trust us, Padres fans already know.
If Padres do not sign this man to a long term deal, there will be riots

Guarentee he will become an LA Dodger. Padres can't afford him. LA has a huge Korean population. It's a no brainer.

Most exciting player to watch

He will be a FA after this season and will get the bucks no doubt like Soto, Maccado and the likes.
@@SuperJay12jay I have no doubt he will get paid big time and deservedly so.
Got this guy in both my Fantasy Leagues
That is a very smart move!
Mixing in content on the new legends alongside the existing legends is refreshing. Happy upload day! 🎉
Thanks Hatbilly! That's the goal, gotta make sure the unsung heroes of today get their dues as well 😎
Awesome Kim!! Dang, he’s got some moves!
Yes he does! 😎
Cool review on Ha-Seong Kim. I hope he is a good long-run players in MLB~
Thank you! I hope Kim is amazing for many more years to come
what a great find from Korea!
As a Korean baseball fan and subscriber of your channel, i am so excited with this video. Thank you so much
I'm so happy to hear that! Kim is one of my favorite players to watch so I couldn't pass up an opportunity to shine a spotlight on his talents.
GO PADRES !! Cam with another banger 💥
Eyyy I appreciate that! 🙌🏼
Kim is so fun to watch! This is a cool video idea Cam👍🔥👍
Definitely 💯 Thank you Sergio! I'm glad you liked this idea for a video 😎
Him getting that clutch hit in the NLDS was just amazing
That game was one of my favorites I've ever watched and I'm not even a Padres fan 😂
I ain’t a padres fan but ALL THE HOMIES LOVE HA-SEONG KIM
W comment
Kim going have a big year. Dude is just getting better and better. Big contract as FA for SD mvp and heart and soul of team.
So glad you did this video. As a Giants fan, I couldn’t help but notice the rise of Kim. He seems to keep getting better. I hope the Giants can sign him next year as I hear he’s really good friends with Jung Hoo Lee
As a Korean based in New York, I want Kim to join the Yankees hopefully. Great video as always. I had no clue how great his 2023 season was.
U already have Volpe...and torres
I mean maybe they give up on orlando at 3rd or maybe Kim goes to 1st
I'll have to keep an eye on him this season.
I'm gonna love it when he becomes an LA Dodger
He's definitely Underrated!!!........his defense is way above average!!!!
Ha Seong King
👑
Great stuff. Impressive with the Albert Belle content. Next one is either Milton Bradley or John Rocker.
All praise our lord and Savior, Ha Seong Kim
It's going to be a sad day when we won't be able to resign him :(

Also a bob Gibson or Ernie banks vid would awesome👍
Boras salivates while watching Kim's contract about to expire...

Did you not see how Snell, Bellinger, Montgomery, all had to sign short term deals? None of them got over 100 mil contract. Kim on the other hand, will seek out over 100 million dollar contract.

@@cocourth5611 I know it's not Boras, but some other players have dropped their agents in the past to hire Boras.
His double play partner in Korea is now available, confusingly named Hy Seong Kim
Can u do @cam23 video on mark whiten 12 rbi guy in mlb
When I first heard the news i was like why would he go to Padres with Tattis at SS?
Not crazy at all to say he might be ready to break out. He's improved each of his three seasons.
Seriously, my team(NY METS) should make the effort to sign H.S. Kim, he's not that expensive and a above average player.......I know he's injured right now but I will BET my House that he's definitely worth the signing!!!.......He plays 3rd, ss, and 2nd!!!!........it's just a thought!!!
Please do pete rose he is one of the greatest players of all time
If San Diego doesn't keep him. Curious on what team he'll go?
had no idea he played 3 positions
I believe Kim has a base salary of about $7 million for this year. The Padres should pull a Dodgers and defer next year's salary. By 2026, Hosmer's $12 million dollar contract will come off the books and Padres could offer him a 15 to 20 million dollar AAV contract to begin in 2026.

Moving a 200m+, to 2B says it all about this kids. His pay day is coming, either SP or other teams, he will be paid.
I live in Detroit but I was born and raised in SD, I was at all three games this year when SD played in Detroit and I MADE THE CUT IN THE VIDEO😂
No way that's awesome! 😎
Go padres
Prime video ideas:
Dale Murphy
Freddie Freeman
Marino Rivera
He did a dale murphy about 2 months ago bro
This is true! Freeman and Rivera would be great videos though
@@Cam23 I’m a huge fan of your work bro. You’re mad underrated
@@dunkinmonutssss Thank you, I really appreciate that! It means a lot to have such a supportive community.
He robbed the short stop position from Tatis and Xander Bogaerts. That tells a lot.
