Kim Hye-sung (Kiwoom Heroes), the No. 1 hitter for the South Korean national baseball team, energized the offense. She was competitive against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the most powerful team in Major League Baseball (MLB).

Kim went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the first game of the 2024 MLB World Tour Seoul Series Special Game against the Dodgers at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea.

He didn’t have a lot of hits, but one was sharp. After retiring the first baseman on a grounder in the first inning, Kim hit a 97.3-mile-per-hour fastball from Dodgers starter Bobby Miller with the bases loaded in the third inning for a two-run double off the right-field wall.

In addition to her long bat, Kim’s quick feet also stood out.

In the top of the third inning, Kang Baek-ho hit a ball to center field, but it was a bit shallow. Kim Hye-sung, the third baseman, rushed home and scored with a head-first slide. Kim’s quick run was the difference in the game.

Kim will try to make it to the MLB through the posting system after this season.

In seven seasons in the KBO, Kim batted .300 with 877 hits, 26 home runs, 311 RBIs, 181 doubles, and a .753 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) in 826 games. 스포츠토토 Last year, he had his best season yet, batting .335 with 186 hits, seven home runs, 57 RBI, 25 doubles, and an OPS of .842.

With her ability to make contact and steal bases, as well as her utility ability to play multiple positions, Kim has already attracted interest in the United States.

“While her lack of power may limit her appeal in the MLB market, she is at least a left-handed hitter who can play multiple positions and provide value at the plate,” wrote TradeRumors in January, “and could draw interest next winter as a second baseman with speed and contact.”

The evaluation with MLB teams was a showcase of sorts for Hye-Sung Kim. She showed off her skills against the Dodgers, one of the favorites to win the MLB pennant this season, and made a strong impression.
