Hyeseong Kim's return to the Dodgers has dramatically improved the teamâs performance in the wake of Tommy Edman's injury. With impressive batting stats, including a .452 average and notable on-base streaks, Kim is cementing his role in the lineup. His standout performance, including a memorable first homer at Dodger Stadium, has earned him respect and praise from teammates and coaching staff alike. This emergence reflects not only his skill but the surprise impact he has had as a rookie, stepping up in a critical time for the franchise.
Hyeseong Kim has made an immediate impact for the Los Angeles Dodgers since being recalled on May 3 to replace Tommy Edman, hitting .452 with a home run.
In his recent hot streak, Kim became the first rookie to reach base in nine straight plate appearances for the Dodgers since Corey Seager in 2015.
Kim expressed his elation after hitting his first career home run stating, 'I always dreamed of playing at Dodger Stadium... I'm really happy, and I'm really thrilled right now.'
Manager Dave Roberts praised Kim, calling him 'fearless and exciting,' a sentiment echoed by teammates who see him as a spark plug for the team.
