""Hello, fans. I mentioned that my biggest goal for this season was to make the opening roster and show my face in the major leagues throughout the year, but I feel so sorry for not being able to keep that promise right from the start. Still, since the season is long, I'll work hard to perform well, get called up quickly, and show you all my active presence in the major leagues. Thank you.""
""The main reason why Hyeseong Kim didn't make the team was he's still implementing second-year swing changes, and they want to get him consistent at-bats and see him have consistent success with those swing changes.""
""When he came up last year in that first month, he hit over .400. Then after that first month, he hit under .200 and really struggled. The biggest thing that stood out was that he had a strikeout rate above 30%. Their big fear is that they don't want to have a batter at the bottom of the lineup that can't get on base.""
Hyeseong Kim, a utility player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, missed the Opening Day roster and is currently in Triple-A. He expressed disappointment but remains determined to improve and return to the major leagues. Kim is performing well with a .500 batting average and a 1.071 OPS. The Dodgers are allowing him to refine swing changes and gain consistent at-bats after a challenging previous season, where he struggled after a strong start.
