2026 Fantasy Outlook
Song is looking to follow his former Kiwoom Heroes teammates Ha-Seong Kim, Jung Hoo Lee and Hyeseong Kim this winter by making the leap to MLB. Song didn't look like a player with an MLB future until recently, recording a .690 OPS through the end of 2023, his age-26 season. Since then, he's recorded an OPS north of .900 for two straight seasons, hitting well over .300 both years while averaging 22.5 homers and 23 steals. He combines pretty good power with good contact ability as well, with a 14.3 K% over the last two seasons. Combine that with his ability to play a decent third base and you get a player who could at least get a shot at the large side of a platoon at the major-league level. Note that Lee's career MLB OPS is down 281 points from his peak KBO mark, while Ha-Seong Kim's is down 220 points from his KBO best, however. Applying the same math to Song would put his OPS somewhere between .646 and .707, which suggests he might be stuck with a bench role. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $10 million contract with the Padres in December of 2025. Contract includes $4.25 million player option for 2029 and $7 million mutual option ($1 million buyout) for 2030.
Sitting in second straight
Song is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Analysis
After Jake Cronenworth was diagnosed with a concussion May 5 and placed on the 7-day injured list, Song had started at second base in five of the Friars' ensuing six games, but he'll cede the keystone to Fernando Tatis on Wednesday for the second day in a row. Since recording two hits in his first start, Song has gone 0-for-8 with a 2:4 BB:K, and his lack of production may have closed his window for handling an everyday role while Cronenworth is shelved.

Stat Review
How does Sung-Mun Song compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see time as outfielder
The Padres could use Song as an outfielder at times, according to manager Craig Stammen, per Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency.
Analysis
"Wherever we can get his bat in the lineup, that's what we're going to try to do. And we want to find a spot for him where he can be productive for the Padres, and there's a lot of different places that I think he can fit," Stammen told reporters. Song hasn't played in the outfield in his career, though he does possess excellent positional versatility and has bounced around the diamond while spending considerable time at first, second and third base.
