Padres shortstop looks to keep up his annual improvement, which has seen him go from part-time player who barely hit .200 to difference maker
There is really only one player who can come close to rivaling Manny Machado or Fernando Tatis Jr. in popularity among Padres fans. And Ha-Seong Kim will almost certainly be the team’s biggest draw later this week when the Padres arrive in Seoul, South Korea, where they will spend eight days that culminate in the first-ever regular season MLB games played in the country. 'I’m excited,' Tatis said. 'I am. I am. I can't wait for it. He definitely deserves it.
'I think the biggest thing is he just didn't know what it was to play in the big leagues — what it took strength-wise, conditioning-wise. … Now seeing him, he shows up to camp, he’s jacked. He's strong. He's ready to fricking play from Day 1. I love seeing stuff like that. I like seeing how guys develop and just learn. That's talent. That's talent itself, not what he does on the field.
