Kim Hye-sung performed spring training for the second day at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona on the 17th (Korea time).
The thing that drew the most attention on this day was that Kim Hye-sung began to renovate his batting form. After finishing batting training, he spoke with batting coach Aaron Bates and swung the bat before entering the clubhouse late.
According to local media, Kim Hye-sung paid the most attention to that part because there was a part that was changed in hitting. Changing both upper and lower body. I'm changing everything because the team analyzed it. "It's very uncomfortable and awkward because it's the stage of changing. I think I need to adjust to it through practice" he said.
Why does Kim Hye-sung, who hit a batting average of 0.304 in the KBO, have to change his batting form. The Dodgers recommended it. Kim Hye-sung explained "Not to increase the long-run power, but to modify for a better swing."
It seems to be at the level of overall renovation, not fine-tuning at the level of one-point lessons. It is actually close to an adventure for a batter with eight years of professional experience to change his existing batting form, but the Dodgers also suggested the modification because he is such a fast learner and adaptable player.

When Kim Hye-sung ran forward, caught Pengo, and threw him to first base with a running throw, Betts applauded and cheered, and Freddie Freeman asked for a high-five after training. Overall, former MVP Betts and Freeman seem to be helping Kim Hye-sung adapt to the camp.
An official from the Dodgers said, `It is Betts' consideration to make Kim Hye-sung the main character. Kim Hye-sung was the last one in yesterday's training", he explained.
Kim Hye-sung signed a three-year, $12.5 million contract last month and became a member of the Dodgers. For now, he is expected to take over as the Dodgers' main second baseman. You can form a Keystone duo with shortstop Betts. On top of that, another MVP Freeman is the first baseman, so Kim Hye-sung has to work with the MVP-turned-special big leaguers on his left and right. This is why we often make eye contact and shout "fighting" at the camp.
Betts boasts a 12-year ransom of $365 million and Freeman a 6-year ransom of $162 million.
However, in order for Kim Hye-sung to solidify his position as a starting player, he must show a certain level of batting skills in exhibition games. The Dodgers' strength is Kim Hye-sung's ability to guess and mobility. Dodgers Debs is difficult to take the backup position if the batting is judged to be under-content.
Meanwhile, Kim Hye-sung also showed off her active communication attitude by accepting almost all of the Dodgers fans' requests for autographs gathered at Camelback Ranch.
