The presence of Kim Hye-sung of the LA Dodgers has gone in. Manager Dave Roberts does not look for Kim Hye-sung.

Kim Hye-sung, who was called up from Triple-A due to Tommy Edman's injury on the 4th (Korea time), helped the team's rise by showing off her high-sensitivity hitting and pioneering skills for the next two weeks, but the opportunity to play was drastically reduced after the return of Edman and another injured person, Teoscar Hernandez.

the anticipated sea. Kim Hye-sung is a backup agent for second base and center field. Even if the opponent is right-handed as a starting pitcher, he is often excluded from the start.




Kim Hye-sung's last start was at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 21st. At that time, Kim Hye-sung started as No. 9 second baseman because Arizona's starter was Nelson, a right-hander, but was replaced by pinch hitter Edman when left-hander Jaylon Biggs took the mound in the eighth inning.

After missing the game against Arizona on the 22nd, he played as a pinch runner in the top of the 11th inning of extra time in the first three consecutive away games against the New York Mets on the 24th, and was forced out at second base during Fazes' double play after hitting a left-handed hit in the top of the 13th inning.

And he missed the Mets game for two consecutive days on the 25th and 26th. In the game on the 26th, the Dodgers lost 1-3, but Roberts did not give Kim a chance.




The Dodgers took the lead with Shohei Ohtani's first solo home run in the top of the first inning, but in the bottom of the first inning, starter Landon Ngak was hit by a two-run home run from left to right by Pete Alonso, and allowed another run in the third inning to hand over the atmosphere. Third baseman Max Muncy's defensive error in the first inning and shortstop Mookie Betts' throwing error in the third inning came out.

The Dodgers had a chance to score in the fourth and fifth consecutive innings, but the follow-up hit failed, and they hit a total of three double plays on the day. The Dodgers, who marked 32 wins and 21 losses, maintained the top spot in the NL West, but the gap with the second-place San Francisco Giants narrowed to one game.

The Dodgers, whose starting lineup is in a state of collapse, have to play with a structure of bullpen and batters, but Kim Hye-sung was not used in any way as a pinch hitter, a big defense, or a pinch runner.




In the top of the ninth inning, trailing 1-3, right-handed hitter Fazes entered the batter's box against right-hander Reed Garrett and grounded out. Kim Hye-sung, who has a batting average of nearly 400, could be used as a substitute. Kim Hye-sung showed off his condition by hitting a double during Ohtani's live pitching before the game. Dodgers' lower hitters, Pazs, Michael Confoto and Edman, were sluggish with a total of 10 hits, one walk and three strikeouts. Roberts lost lethargicly by sending out Pazs as it was against right-handed pitchers after two outs in the ninth inning, when he was trailing 2-5.

Kim Hye-sung has played in three of the last five games and has one hit in three at-bats. Kim Hye-sung, who has a batting average of 0.395 (15 hits in 38 times at bat) and an OPS of 0.925, is likely to see his batting sense decline due to irregular appearances.

The Mets kept their early lead to the end and maintained second place in the NL East with 32 wins and 21 losses. Starting pitcher Senga Godai won five games (three losses) and posted an ERA of 1.46 with five hits and one run in five ⅓ innings.

Ohtani pulled a 94.8-mile fastball into the middle of Senga's second pitch in the top of the first inning and hit the right-center fence wide. His 18th home run of the season, which is 31 degrees in firing angle, 108.2 miles (174.3 kilometers) and 411 feet in flying distance. It is the first time in six days that Ohtani hit a home run since the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 20th. With this, Ohtani moved back to the top of the combined home run in both leagues, along with New York Yankees Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber.
