Hyeseong Kim's call-up on May 3 has energized the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers. With a remarkable offensive performance, boasting a .404 batting average across 52 at-bats and seven RBIs, his impact is evident. Manager Dave Roberts praised Kim's enthusiasm and competitiveness, which inspire teammates. Despite initial challenges after transitioning from the Korean Baseball Organization, Kim's adaptability at multiple positions, including shortstop and center field, highlights his value. His journey embodies determination, aiming to secure a spot in the MLB following a brief stint in Triple-A.
Hyeseong, there's just something about him. That youthful enthusiasm, that joy, he's just happy to be out there, happy to be on the team, and guys feed off the energy.
Nothing was guaranteed for Kim after signing with the Dodgers this offseason as his past accomplishments in Korea were overshadowed by his initial struggles to adjust to MLB-level velocity during spring training.
