There was plenty of reason to be excited about the Ha-Seong Kim signing when it happened in February. The South Korean infielder stands out as a quintessential member of the Tampa Bay Rays, displaying the excellent defense and solid baserunning skills that helps characterize this franchise.

After missing the first half of the season due to shoulder surgery, newly signed infielder Ha-Seong Kim is set to make his debut for the Rays on Friday.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Ha-Seong Kim finally got to join the team in their series opener against the Minnesota Twins after months of rehabbing a shoulder injury. In the top of the seventh inning, his debut took a scary turn.
