Hyeseong Kim Stuffs The Stat Sheet On Tuesday At Triple-A
1 week agoLos Angeles Dodgers infielder Hyeseong Kim went 3-for-6 with a double, three RBI, three runs scored, and two stolen bases for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. It was the left-handed hitter's third multi-hit game in his last three games, now slashing .308/.386/.487 with six extra-base hits, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, and four stolen bases through nine games. It was a bit of a surprise to see the offseason acquisition optioned to Triple-A towards the end of spring training after inking a three-year contract, but the Dodgers felt he needed more development. While he came over as an infielder, the 26-year-old was playing center field on Tuesday, so it looks like the Dodgers are trying to make him more versatile, which should give him additional paths to playing time. Kim should make his MLB debut this season and was known for elite contact skills in Japan, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on his progression as he could provide an instant boost to batting average and steals whenever he gets the call to the majors. He is currently eligible at 2B and SS on Yahoo!, but could eventually gain OF eligibility if L.A. gives him some starts there in the big leagues.
