LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Kim. Kim hit three home runs in free batting while Roberts was watching.
Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona, USA, where the Dodgers' spring training is taking place on the 18th (Korea time). Kim Hye-sung completed various training schedules including defense, batting and running base on the same day as her teammates.
Kim is modifying her batting form at the Dodgers camp. She generally spends about an hour in the indoor batting cage even after official training ends around 12:30 p.m. local time. "I'm trying to adapt quickly to the changing batting form," Kim said.
The quality of the ball in the free batting on the day improved from the previous day. In the free batting, Kim Hye-sung hit three home run balls. He crossed two right fences and pushed over one left-center fence.
Just in time, Roberts was watching the players' free batting next to the betting cage, and when Kim Hye-sung's first home run hit came out, he exclaimed "Oh!" I watched Kim's two more home runs.
When Kim left the batting cage after finishing her final free batting, Roberts looked at Kim and clapped. Kim then bowed to Roberts.
Roberts talked a lot about Kim in interviews with reporters. "She is gifted. She also has the ability to learn and adapt quickly. She already has the trust of the coaching staff and fellow players. She has made great progress in defense and is very smooth. She certainly has high speed in attack. She is moving in a good direction. She can in-play the ball and run fast."
Kim is adjusting well with her teammates. On the previous day, Mookie Betts encouraged countless Dodgers fans who came to watch the camp to cheer for "Let's Go Dodgers" ahead of Kim's turn, the last day of her defensive funkgo training. With all fans paying attention to her, Kim grabbed a slow grounder and threw it running to the first base. Her neat play earned her applause.
Betts ran to Kim and gave her a high-five, and fellow players congratulated her with cheers. Roberts commented on the scene, saying, "While Betts was having fun training with Kim yesterday, he created an environment where he put a little pressure on her. That's why people were attracted to her, and she showed strength."
Kim is competing for the main second baseman position. The Dodgers, which has many utility players, will likely use Kim not only as a second baseman but also as an outfielder.
Roberts said, "Kim Hye-sung definitely allows us to win games with just defense. The question is, I can't answer right now what is good for him and what is good for the Dodgers. We will see what kind of performance he will show in the game, and I believe he will get better the more he repeats."
He also said, "I will help her adapt to the big leagues by letting her play as many games as possible. She is already showing off her ability to learn and learn quickly." Early in the exhibition games, she meant to give Kim more chances to play. 온라인바카라
