In a single game, he struck out four times in six at-bats, but Kim Hae-sung of the Dodgers still maintains a batting average above .300.

Kim Hae-sung, a Korean player for the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB, had four at-bats today, each resulting in a strikeout, recording his poorest batting performance since his promotion to the majors. Nevertheless, his batting average still holds above .300 post-game.

Batting eighth, Kim Hae-sung struck out on three pitches in his first at-bat in the second inning. In the fourth inning, he was caught on a foul tip and struck out again. In the bottom of the sixth, with two outs and a runner on third, Kim faced a fastball and was unable to keep up, resulting in his third strikeout. In the ninth inning, he was again outmatched, falling behind in the count and swinging at a bad pitch outside for his fourth strikeout.

Kim has gone hitless for two consecutive games, with his batting average dropping from .313 to .303. In fact, he also struck out twice in the previous game before being replaced, accumulating six consecutive at-bats with strikeouts. This season, he has struck out 39 times in total.

Despite his struggles at the plate, Kim performed adequately in the second base defense. In the final play of the game, he handled a ground ball from the Red Sox, completing the out. The Dodgers won 5-2 against the Red Sox, securing their first victory in the series.
