Hyeseong Kim has emerged as a valuable player for the Dodgers since his call-up, significantly impacting the team's offense. Despite competition for limited at-bats when players return from injury, Kim's extensive experience in the Korean Baseball Organization and his recent performance make a strong case for his continued presence in the major leagues. Manager Dave Roberts and President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman acknowledge his contributions, and strategies may need to be adjusted to keep him on the roster while maximizing the teamâs potential.
His smile has brightened the locker room, his bat has energized a once-impotent segment of the lineup and his speed has transformed their offense.
Manager Dave Roberts was asked the other night about the 'difficult decision' the Dodgers will have to make on Kim...nothing about this decision should be difficult.
A 26-year-old who played seven-plus seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization before he signed with the Dodgers, Kim isn't a typical rookie.
A lot easier to pitch to Shohei when nobody's on base...certainly with Kim and his ability to get on base.
