Hyeseong Kim, a rookie for the Los Angeles Dodgers, made waves in his MLB debut on May 3 and recently achieved his first extra-base hit with a home run against the Athletics. Growing up a Dodgers fan in South Korea, Kim expressed immense joy and fulfillment hitting at Dodger Stadium. Despite struggles adjusting his swing, Kim found success in the Minors and worked on his hitting strategy, focusing on hitting the ball hard rather than solely aiming for power. This milestone marks a memorable moment in his baseball journey, yet he still hasn't received the ball from his first home run.
"I always dreamed of playing at Dodger Stadium. I'm really happy, and I'm really thrilled right now."
"I mean, even if it is not a home run, I'll always hear the fan support and fans' voice... I really didn't hear it. I was more focusing on my situation."
"I don't really try to think about hitting for power. I think the only thing that I really care about is to hit a hard hit..."
