Ha-Seong Kim Barely Used in 19 Games on Atlanta's Roster
Kim has appeared in just 4 of 19 games since joining the Braves, going 0-for-3 with minimal impact, echoing the sparse usage pattern of predecessor Jorge Mateo.
Ha-Seong Kim has been largely inactive since joining Atlanta's roster, appearing in only 4 of 19 games for a total of 11 innings. He is 0-for-3 at the plate with one run scored and one RBI. His usage mirrors that of Jorge Mateo, who also saw limited time in his final weeks with the Braves. The reporter questions whether retaining Kim makes sense beyond sunk-cost considerations.
