"Hyeseong's in the mix, we got Espinal, obviously, Miggy Ro's gonna do some things over there, Freeland certainly in the mix, so we've got some nice options,"
"That's something that's interesting, Tommy's a guy that we're gonna be thinking about, but I think Hyeseong's gonna play some center field as well. I want to get him out there, because I want to get him at bats. With Hyeseong, I think that just the adjustability with the high ball, the spin, just kind of, I think that he got a good introduction to Major League pitching, and I think he's gonna be better this year."
Hyeseong Kim began 2025 in the minors while adjusting his mechanics and adapting to life as a stateside baseball player. The Dodgers called him up amid a wave of injuries after an early hot stretch, and he received significant playing time before pitchers adjusted and a shoulder injury limited him. Kim hit .339/.378/.464 with a 136 OPS+ in his first-half 112 at-bats but slumped to .143/.160/.204 with 1 OPS+ in the second half and had no postseason at-bats. Manager Dave Roberts plans to increase Kim's role in 2026 and use him in center field to get more at-bats.
