LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who has Kim Hye-sung in mind who is seeking to be promoted to the big league, is in a pleasant dilemma. This is because Kim Hye-sung hit hard every day in Triple-A, and Andy Pazs, who had been keeping a big league roster despite his severe slump in offense and defense at the beginning of the season, has recently shown a dramatic rebound.

Oklahoma City Comets Kim Hye-sung contributed to a 7-5 victory with two hits and two runs from four times at bat, including two doubles, in an away game against Round Rock Express (under the Texas Rangers) in Round Rock Del Diamond, Texas on the 10th (Korea time).

Kim Hye-sung, who has had hits in the last seven consecutive games, has a batting average of 0.326 (14 hits in 43 times at bat), nine RBIs, 12 points, four steals, and an OPS of 0.931. There are five multi-hitters in 10 games.




Kim Hye-sung, who played as a leadoff center fielder, was grounded out to second base in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning.

However, he went out as a leadoff hitter in the third inning with a 2-0 lead and hit a double. He pulled an 86.9-mile cutter that penetrated the third pitch in the 1B1S against right-hander David Buchanan for a 102.2-mile infield double flowing to the right. Buchanan was an ace who won 54 games for four years with the Samsung Lions between 2020 and 2023.

Kim Hye-sung advanced to third base on a follow-up hit, but Eddie Rosario hit a double play and failed to score.




In the third at-bat after two outs in the fifth inning, when the 2-1 lead continued, he got on base due to catcher's hitting interference and then homered on Alex Freeland's left double to widen the gap to 3-1.

After turning the tables 3-5, Kim Hye-sung hit a double after two outs in the seventh inning and homered again. Right-hander Luis Courbelo pulled a 95.5-mile low fastball into the third and hit a superior double with a 102.5-mile line drive. It was a home run with a driving distance of 359 feet. He then scored on Dalton Rushing's left-handed hit and followed it 4-5.

Oklahoma City turned the tables again 7-5 in the top of the eighth inning with Esteury Lewis' three-run homer to the left. Kim Hye-sung then struck out swinging.

The Pazs were also hot on the same day.

Farggs is a Cuban outfielder who competed against Kim Hye-sung in the spring training. Although he was sluggish in the exhibition game, he joined the opening roster and started in center field in the opening game of the Tokyo Series with expectations from manager Dave Roberts that he had a long shot in the second half of the game.

However, his performance was not good. With the batting average not out of the 10% range, he had no hits in five consecutive games from the 1st (hereinafter Korean time) to the 6th. In the game against the Philadelphia Phillies on the 5th, he got on base with a walk and got out in check, and in the game against Philadelphia on the 7th, Bryce Harper's fly was missed due to a mistake in direction and drop point. Roberts mockingly criticized it.

However, in the game against the Washington Nationals on the 9th, he swung two hits and one walk in three at-bats, including his first home run of the season, and fired a home run that served as a stepping stone for his come-from-behind victory against Washington on the 10th.

In the final game of the three consecutive away games at Nationals Park in Washington, DC, Pazs played as the ninth center fielder and recorded one hit, one RBI, one run and two strikeouts in four at-bats.

He hit a home run with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning when his team was losing 4-5. Having grounded out and struck out in the first two at-bats, Fazes drew an 87.5-mile slider off the right-hander Eduardo Salazar that was driven to the middle of the third pitch on the two-strike to tie the score at 5-5, slightly over the left fence.

The second arch of the season, with a launch angle of 35 degrees, a batting speed of 101.6 miles and a distance of 366 feet.

The Dodgers, which was in the mood, provided a chance for the next batter, Shohei Ohtashi, to get on base with a pitcher's infield hit. Teoscar Hernandez hit a timely hit to the right to turn the tide 6-5, making Ohtani's steal to second base and Tommy Edman's walk.

The Dodgers allowed four hits, four walks and five runs in two ⅓ innings, but six bullpen pitchers who took the mound later prevented additional runs and kept the victory.

Teoscar, the fourth batter, led the lineup with two hits, three RBIs, and one run in five at-bats in the first inning, including his fifth two-run homer of the season.

Ohtani played a leading role with two hits, one walk and two points in four at-bats. He batted .315 (17 hits in 54 at-bats), had four home runs, five RBIs, 15 runs, 11 walks, 15 strikeouts, and an OPS of 1.024.

The Dodgers, which lost three consecutive games, maintained their third place in the NL West with 10 wins and 4 losses. The leading San Diego Padres beat the Athletics 2-1 on the same day to lead with a 10-3 record, while the second-place San Francisco Giants came from behind to beat the Cincinnati Reds with an 8-6 victory and remained in second place with a 9-3 record.

Since his debut in the Major League last year in December 2000, Park has recorded a batting average of 0.248 (100 hits in 403) with 13 homers, 46 RBIs, 65 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.712 in 117 games.

With this home run, Pazs marked a batting average of 0.171 (7 hits in 41 at-bats), two homers, two RBIs, five runs, six walks, 16 strikeouts and an OPS of 0.647. There is a high possibility that Roberts, who tried to send him to the minor leagues, has changed his mind.
