In an interview with his now ex-KBO team, Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim was asked why he chose the Dodgers. 'Well, they're the Dodgers.'😅 'I was so familiar with the Dodgers, having watched Chan Ho Park and Hyun-Jin Ryu play there. And they're the defending champions.'
The Dodgers had an up-close look at Kim during exhibition games before the Seoul Series last year and came away impressed. 'Our scouts like the second baseman (Kim), just the way his body moves, there's some life to the bat and defensively he made a nice play out there,' manager Dave Roberts said at the time.
Kim's comments are in line with several players who have signed with the Dodgers over the last year for the opportunity to win a World Series.
The 25-year-old was originally projected to be a utility man with the team, but the Dodgers trading Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds has opened the door for him to receive plenty of opportunities at second base.
