Dodgers Option Hyeseong Kim
8 hours agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned infielder Hyeseong Kim to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Kim inked a three-year contract with the Dodgers in the offseason worth $12.5 million. However, he was unable to adjust to major-league pitching during camp and will open the season in the minor leagues to further his development. During his time in the Cactus League, Kim has gone 6-for-29 at the plate with only one of his going for extra bases. He held a 4:11 BB:K and swiped two bags. During camp, the 26-year-old revamped his swing to add more power potential but was unable to produce consistently. Overseas, Kim showcased elite contact skills but the Dodgers hope he can tap into more power upside. He held a stellar .326/.383/.458 during his final season in Japan. When he does get the call to the majors, he will likely see time as a utility option in the infield.
