Ha-Seong Kim sets unwanted MLB record with Braves in 2026 season

Ha-Seong Kim, infielder for the Atlanta Braves, is having a historically poor season in 2026. Currently batting.066, Kim ranks last among all qualifying player-seasons in MLB history for batting average and slugging percentage. His offensive struggles follow expectations after his acquisition on a one-year, $20 million deal. This season marks a dramatic decline from his past success, including winning a Gold Glove Award with the San Diego Padres in 2023. With the Braves seeking improvement, Kim's performance raises concerns about his future contributions.
