Two of them are included in the 40-man roster of the Major League, so they were sent down to the minor leagues in the sense of starting the season at Triple-A, and the other five are minor league contracts, and the Dodgers have rearranged them to the minor league camp that should be 'established'.
The two are Kim Hye-sung and Bobby Miller. They will not move to minor league camps, but will remain in major league camps to play training programs given to each other and participate in minor league exhibition games as needed.
The Dodgers say they will call them to the Major League after they fill the gaps or solve the problem in the exhibition game. Of course, no one knows how long that will take. However, there is a difference in the background of Kim Hye-sung and Miller's exclusion from the Major League's opening roster.
First of all, Kim Hye-sung is due to lack of batting power. Earlier this year, when he signed with the Dodgers on the condition of three-year, 12.5 million dollars and up to 22 million dollars for five years, including two-year options, he was considered to be the main second baseman. However, during the exhibition game, he was hardly able to adapt to Major League pitchers.

In other words, he is a member of the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets and wants to improve his adaptability by going to practice a lot. Triple-A opens on March 29. Kim Hye-sung hit .207 (6 hits in 29 at-bats), one home run, three RBIs, six runs, four walks, 11 strikeouts, two steals, and an OPS of 0.613 in 15 spring training games. David Bodie, who hit two home runs with a batting average in his 40s, also failed to go to the minor leagues, but it was unreasonable for Kim Hye-sung to surpass the major leagues.
In March, he showed signs of recovery with a batting average of 0.333 and an OPS of 0.945 in nine games, but failed to make a dramatic turnaround. The strikeout rate reached 33.3 percent.

If you are fully familiar with the new batting form and develop your fast ball coping ability in Triple-A, you can soon achieve promotion to the Major League. For now, it seems likely that it will be after mid-April. Of course, if you receive a groundbreaking evaluation before that, you may soon be included in the 26-man roster of the Major League.
Kim Hye-sung can clearly show his presence because of his various uses once he goes up to the Major League. This is because he can play second baseman, shortstop, and center fielder. If you support the hit here, there is no reason why you can't play as the main player. Major League pitchers are 3 to 5 miles faster depending on the type of pitch than KBO pitchers. You have to adapt to sliders, sweepers, and cutters in the early 90s, as well as near a 100-mile fastball.

Miller is the next generation ace who appeared like a comet in 2023. He had an impressive debut season with 11 wins, 4 losses, a 3.76 ERA and 119 strikeouts in 22 games that year. However, he was sluggish with 2-4 losses and an 8.52 ERA in 13 games last year due to injuries and sluggishness. He was sidelined by a shoulder injury in April and was demoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City after poor pitching after returning in June.
Miller, whose main weapon is a fastball over 100 miles, has been in the spotlight as a candidate for the fifth starter in this spring training. Rehabilitation seems to be needed for more than a month to reach the Major League.
Kim Hye-sung and Miller are promising pitching players that the Dodgers can never give up. If you solve a given task, you can step on the big league stage at any time.
