Eventually, something that I was worried about happened. Kim Hye-sung (26), who chose the strongest team by advancing to the U.S., failed to penetrate the LA Dodgers' thick roster.
The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on the 12th (Korea time) that they will send seven players, including Kim Hye-sung, down to the minor leagues on the club's official SNS.
As a result, Kim will not be able to fly to Tokyo. Kim will now play for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets of the Los Angeles Dodgers, preparing for her first season after moving to the U.S.
The reason why Kim went down to the Minor League is relatively simple. She showed poor performance both in offense and defense. In the end, there was no reversal drama.
In this regard, questions remain as to why Kim chose the strongest LA Dodgers. The LA Dodgers have a very thick roster.
Shohei Ohtani (31) previously chose the Los Angeles Angels, which guaranteed him both pitching and hitting when he advanced to the Major League. In other words, he chose a stable team that guaranteed him what he wanted.
However, Kim Hye-sung chose the Los Angeles Dodgers, where competition was inevitably fierce, and eventually started his first season after entering the U.S. stage in the minor league.
Of course, moving to a minor league camp is not permanent. In addition, the LA Dodgers' second base position is considered the most vulnerable position in their team.
Therefore, if Kim Hye-sung shows good batting and improved defense on the Triple-A stage, there is a possibility that he will be promoted to the Major League in the near future. 안전놀이터
Meanwhile, a total of 31 players, including elite members of the Los Angeles Dodgers and players who survived the competition, will head to Tokyo, Japan, where the 2025 Tokyo Series will be held on the 13th.
