Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Kim Hye-seong is now batting below .100 in his first spring training in the majors after another hitless day at the plate.

On the 26th, Kim Hye-seong was silent in the spring training game against the Seattle Mariners, going 0-for-3 with 2 Samjin as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning. He hit a ball that was caught just in front of the right center fence in his first at-bat, but was struck out swinging in the following two at-bats against cutters.

What has become clear of late is that it might take some time for Dodgers utilityman Hyeseong Kim to become a finished product offensively.

Kim Hye-seong, the newest Korean player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, could start the 2025 season in the minor leagues as his spring training struggles continued.
