He is in his second season with the Braves following stops with the San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays.
Mark Bowman of MLB.com wrote (on June 5): “Ha-Seong Kim was in the lineup for 12 of the first 15 games played after he was activated. He’s started just two of the eight games that have followed. Weiss deserves credit for constructing his optimal lineup every day and Anthopoulos deserves credit for giving Weiss the confidence to prioritize production over finances.”
