Hyeseong Kim May Not Be Sent Down So Quickly If He Continues to Impress Dodgers

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.
