6/02/25 | Hyeseong Kim on fire to begin Dodgers career. Hyeseong Kim had a rough transition to major league pitching during spring training, prompting the Dodgers to start Kim’s season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets. The decision to give Kim more time to develop his swing and his approach in the minor leagues paid off when he was called up during the Dodgers’ road trip in Atlanta, and he has been a bright spot despite receiving limited playing time over his first 21 games. Kim enters the Dodgers’ three game series against the New York Mets slashing .422/.458/.600 with a 200 wRC+, albeit in just 48 plate appearances, and is coming off a four hit performance in which he launched his second career home run against the New York Yankees on Saturday.

5/30/25 | Dodgers GM Pays Hyeseong Kim Ultimate Compliment. Given all that Hyeseong Kim has done for the Dodgers this month, it's remarkable to think the rookie did not make his regular season debut until May 3.

The Los Angeles Dodgers recently called up Hyeseong Kim who just did something that not only hasn't been seen since 2015, but was last done by a now two-time World Series MVP. Kim has reached base in nine consecutive plate appearances, which ties Corey Seager's record for the longest such streak by a Dodgers rookie since 1958. After being signed to a three-year, $12.5 million deal, Kim appeared to be the heir apparent to the soon-to-be vacant spot at second base, as the Dodgers traded Gavin Lux a few days later. Kim boasts four Gold Glove awards (three at second base and one at shortstop) from Korea Baseball Organization and reportedly grew up loving the Dodgers.
