What we learned in MLB this week: Bryce Harper's power is missing

Performing well as leadoff hitter Kim went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Tuesday in an 8-5 win over the Angels.

Impact Kim has settled in as San Diego's leadoff hitter, as he's batted atop the lineup in 10 of his past 11 starts.

Nonetheless, Kim offers value in both areas -- he's already swiped a career-high 14 bags this season and is one shy of his career-best mark with 10 long balls. Kim's appeal as a leadoff hitter is further buoyed by his career-high 11.7 percent walk rate on the campaign.
