Kim Hye-sung held a press conference for joining the team on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona, attended by club officials and agency CAA agents.
"Superstar and all players take good care of me, which helps me a lot to adapt," Kim Hye-sung said. "I am playing baseball happily." He added, "I feel grateful while training in the world's best facilities and systems."
Regarding adapting to life in the U.S., he said, "The food is so good. I'm not usually picky about food, but salad and protein are enough. Salad comes out especially well."
Kim Hye-sung has been partially adjusting his batting posture after consulting with the Dodgers. "It is more about correcting himself to swing well than for long-term," Kim said. "I will adapt quickly from now on."
In order to succeed in the Major League, it is essential to be able to cope with fastballs and manage physical stamina. "You just have to look at the ball and hit it," Kim said. "I'm practicing how to hit fastballs with a pitching machine. Rather than thinking about how to deal with it, it is important to apply the batting posture that I'm practicing now in practice."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts highly praised Kim's performance and adaptability. "Kim Hye-sung is naturally talented and quick to adapt," he said, expressing expectations that he will be of great help to his team by utilizing his defense capability and aggressive speed.
Fellow players are also actively supporting him during the training. Mookie Betts is giving him advice on swing movements and helping Kim adapt to batting. Shohei Ohtani, who was closely watching the baserunning exercise, also approached him, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him in Korean, saying, "You look great."
Ohtani is a member of the same agency (CAA) as Kim Hye-sung, and even when Kim Hye-sung confirmed his joining of the Dodgers, he personally welcomed and cheered in Korean.
Kim Hye-sung is now in full competition for the role of second baseman and utility player. Strong players including Mookie Betts are in the Dodgers' infield, and fierce competition is expected to solidify his position.
Kim Hye-sung said, "I'm not tied to only one position, but I'm training in all positions whenever I have the opportunity," adding, "I'll do my best wherever the team wants." 카지노
Expectations are high on how Kim Hye-sung, who is preparing to enter the big league step by step by step by increasing his adaptability, will perform at the Dodgers.
