​The 2026 MLB season has been an absolute nightmare for Ha-Seong Kim, and his latest numbers have reached a level that is almost impossible to comprehend. The Atlanta Braves infielder has struggled so badly at the plate that he is now sitting at the very bottom of the MLB record book in several major offensive categories.According to BaseballWRLD, there have been 45,719 player-seasons in MLB history with at least 85 plate appearances. Kim’s 2026 season currently ranks 45,719th in batting average and slugging percentage, while ranking 45,718th in OPS and OPS+.MORE: Yankees hit with brutal Max Fried news just after announcing Carlos Rodon’s returnKim’s numbers are historically badMay 14, 2026; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Atlanta Braves shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (7) reacts after an out against the Chicago Cubs in the eighth inning at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn ImagesKim is currently batting just .066, an astonishingly low number for a player with a substantial sample size. He also has a .000 isolated power and a 29 wRC+, according to recent reporting on his historic struggles.That means Kim isn’t simply having a bad season compared with expectations. Statistically, he’s having one of the worst offensive seasons ever recorded among players who have accumulated at least 85 plate appearances.For context, Kim entered 2026 as a player the Braves expected to provide meaningful production after signing him to a one-year, $20 million deal. Instead, injuries and an extended offensive collapse have turned the season into a disaster.MORE: Red Sox decision at the MLB trade deadline looks like a disaster amid 3 consecutive series lossesStunning fall from graceWhat’s particularly shocking is that Kim is only a few years removed from being one of the most valuable all-around players in baseball.With the San Diego Padres in 2023, he became the first Korean-born player to win a Gold Glove Award, establishing himself as an elite defender while also providing offensive value.Now, the Braves are dealing with a player who has been unable to find any offensive rhythm whatsoever.Kim’s season has become so extreme that his numbers are no longer merely disappointing—they are historically poor. With his batting average and slugging percentage currently sitting at the bottom of the list among every qualifying player-season in MLB history, Kim has accomplished something no hitter wants to accomplish.And unfortunately for Atlanta, this isn’t the type of record anyone wants to see their $20 million infielder breaking.— Enjoy free coverage of the top news & trending stories with The Big Lead Newsletter —
