Hyeseong Kim joined the Los Angeles Dodgers but chose No. 6 to honor Trea Turner, past star of the team. Kim aims to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster in his MLB debut season, showing commitment to enhance his performance compared to his previous year in KBO. While excelling as a utility infielder known for his speed and defensive skills, Kim stole 211 bases over his KBO career. The Dodgers anticipate him contributing across multiple positions, emphasizing his dedication to improve and aid his new team.
"Hopefully, I can also play well wearing the same number as Trea Turner," Kim told reporters, including Jeeho Yoo of the Korean Yonhap News Agency.
"I have to play better than I did last year. I want to be able to capitalize on my strengths and help the team the best I can."
