Hyeseong Kim may force the Los Angeles Dodgers’ hand during his first stint with the big league club.
The 26-year-old utility man had an impressive showing defensively and on the bases in limited time in his debut series against the Atlanta Braves. Kim then went 2-for-4 at the plate with one RBI and a stolen base in his first career start against the Miami Marlins on Monday.
“He just adds that spark to our ballclub,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
