Hyeseong Kim has joined the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year, $12.5 million contract following an impressive KBO career, where he earned three Fielding Awards and posted an impressive .304 batting average. During Spring Training, Kim is mainly expected to play second base but is also being tested in various positions to enhance his versatility. Manager Dave Roberts notes Kim's ongoing adaptations to the game’s speed and mechanical adjustments. This strategic flexibility is viewed as beneficial for Kim and the Dodgers’ overall lineup options.
In addition to his strong glove, Kim is known for his elite bat-to-ball skills. He hit .326 with the Heroes last year and posted a career .304 batting average during his time in South Korea.
Dodgers see benefit of Hyeseong Kim playing multiple positions. Roberts emphasizes understanding Kim's offensive capabilities while leveraging his defensive versatility.
He looks good, looks comfortable. He's working on some things with his swing..The speed of the game, I think he'll catch up to.
