Kim Hye-sung got the hang of it...hit in two consecutive games + a solid base

Blog Article

Kim Hye-sung (26), who is preparing for his debut season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a prestigious Major League Baseball (MLB), has raised his hopes of entering the opening roster with a fierce battle at the end of the exhibition game.

At the 2025 MLB exhibition game against the Arizona Diamondbacks held at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona, the U.S. on Sunday, Kim had one hit, two runs and one stolen base. Her batting average has also entered the 200s range, which is considered the last line for her to survive in the big league. She rose from 0.192 to 0.222 (6 hits in 27 times at bat).
His first role was as a pinch runner. When leadoff hitter Teoscar Hernandez hit a single in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 3-1 lead, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts put Kim at the first base instead. After successfully stealing the second base at exhibition game at Max Muncy's at-bat, he boldly tagged up when Will Smith hit a fly ball to left field, and advanced to third base.

Usually, a runner on second base runs to the third base on an outfield fly ball when the ball is directed to the right field, which is the opposite direction to the third base. However, Kim secured the third base by hitting a base run that caught the ball off guard even though the left fielder close to the third base caught the ball, demonstrating both fast feet and sense of baseball. Kim hit the homerun on the wild pitch that followed, contributing to the Dodgers widened the score to 4-1.

At bat, Kim had a hit in two consecutive games at bat in the bottom of the seventh inning. As the leadoff hitter, Kim hit a fast sinker of 95.5 miles (154 kilometers) per hour by the opponent team's right-handed pitcher Roman Angelo with two balls and one strike, and produced a hit that passed by the third base. The speed of the hit was measured at 103.4 miles (166 kilometers) per hour.

Kim Hye-sung, who had another hit following the game against the Oakland Athletics a day earlier, proved her batting performance by hitting hits in two consecutive games for the first time since participating in the exhibition game. After advancing to second base through wild pitches, she homered on Hunter Peduca's double after one out, and secured her second run.

He also showed stable defense. He played shortstop in the sixth inning and moved to center field from the seventh inning, showing off his capability as a utility player.

With Kim Hye-sung playing both ball and ball, the Dodgers won 6-2 over Arizona for their 11th win (8 losses) in the exhibition game. On this day, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Japanese starter for the Dodgers, received a passing score with four hits, one walk, seven strikeouts and one run in five innings. Yamamoto has been named a starting pitcher early on for the opening game of the new season against the Chicago Cubs at Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, on the 18th. 온라인바카라
