Los Angeles Dodgers' Kim Hye-sung (26) failed to board the Tokyo series.
David Bassett, who reported the news of the Dodgers, said on social media on the 12th (Korea time), "Kim Hye-sung will not go to Japan with the Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts said Kim Hye-sung has decided to start the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets."
Dodgers Nation also reported, "Kim Hye-sung plans to start the season in the minor leagues to adapt to Major League pitchers."
"Kim Hye-sung has revealed his goal to be on the roster for the opening game of the Tokyo Series after signing a contract with the Dodgers. However, it has not been that way," Dodger Blue said. "If he adapts to the Oklahoma City Comets, he will someday exert influence on the team."
Kim, who challenged the U.S. by signing a three-plus-two-year, maximum of 22 million U.S. dollars contract with the Dodgers in January, is expected to be a candidate for the starting second baseman. As soon as the Dodgers signed Kim, it traded Gavin Lux, its main second baseman, to the Cincinnati Reds. Of course, Kim's position has grown even more.
However, her attitude toward Kim has changed after the exhibition game. After showing poor batting performance at the exhibition game, various media outlets in the U.S. continued to report on Kim's move to the Minor League.
Roberts said, "One question mark is hitting. He is making swing changes sustainably. Kim is determined to come here and compete, and she is making efforts. Of course, there is no need to make a decision right now, but the problem is still hitting."
He showed stable performance in defense and base running, but did not show his long-term contact ability properly.
He took the batter's form correction early in the camp, but he seems to be still adjusting. He struck out 11 times at 33 times at bat, while walking only four times.
Considering the upturn at the exhibition games at the last minute, it is regrettable. Kim seemed to be adapting to her batting form, which had changed little by little through Sunday. She had hits in two consecutive games.
He seemed to save the spark of hope, but he failed to make the entry in the final game of the exhibition game as he failed to make a hit.
On the day, Kim entered the second base thanks to Max Muncy's great defense in the top of the fourth inning, and had her first at bat with two outs and a third base in the bottom of the fifth inning when her team was leading 10-0. Upon meeting Ryan Webb, Kim garnered two strikes after carefully selecting the first and second pitches. She hit 87.2 miles slider at the fifth pitch with a ball count of 2-2, but couldn't escape the infield. She grounded out to second base.
Kim moved to center field when she was playing defense in the top of the sixth inning. Then, she hit the batter's box for the second time as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning. Kim faced off the changed pitcher Andrew Misiachek and struck out swinging on a slider at the fifth pitch, with the ball count 2-2.
The final result of the exhibition games was batting average of 0.207 with one homer, three RBIs, four walks and 11 strikeouts in 15 games, and on-base percentage of 0.303 with a slugging percentage of 0.310 OPS of 0.613. Eventually, he will start the season in the Minor League. 카지노
