Hyeseong Kim, the 26-year-old utility player, showcased impressive skills during his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers, specifically against the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins. After being called up to replace the injured Tommy Edman, Kim delivered strong performances that sparked interest from the Dodgers' management in retaining him beyond his initial stint. Despite considerations for his development in the minors, the Dodgers are weighing the potential benefits of keeping Kim in the majors as they navigate player injuries and team dynamics.
"He just adds that spark to our ballclub," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
"It's definitely a thought," Roberts said. "I think with Hyeseong, with young players, there's always that dynamic of what in the short term can help the long run."
"But then also the longer term, giving him the repetitions, the opportunity, to take as many at-bats (in the minors), to play defense, to get acclimated to American baseball."
