Manager Dave Roberts stated, "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," highlighting Kim's impressive physicality and skill set which ultimately influenced the Dodgers' decision to sign him.
General manager Brandon Gomes noted, "It doesn't [factor in]. I think that can be a real trap with scouting of, 'I saw him, so I have an immediate bias.'... It was more like total package and hearing from our scouts and coaches of what we think he could be," emphasizing the team's careful evaluation process beyond just one performance.
