'Let's go until the end today!'

The Los Angeles Dodgers" Super Utility Man" Kim Hye-sung, who has recently shown a hot batting sense again, has been in the starting lineup for two consecutive games since the start of the second half. It seems that the position of the team is getting stronger.

Kim Hye-sung was deployed as the eighth second baseman in a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the morning of the 20th (Korea time). He is the second batter and eighth hitter for the second time in a row following the game against Milwaukee the previous day.




The previous day, the Dodgers suffered three scattered hits in the first game of the three consecutive home games against Milwaukee and suffered a 0-2 defeat. This is the result of the batting lineup, which boasted the No. 1 team batting average in the National League, being tied to Milwaukee starter Queen Priest.

In the meantime, Kim Hye-sung recorded one hit. Around the All-Star break, the batting sense seems to have turned upward again. Kim has shown a high sensitivity of 0.462 (6 hits in 13 at-bats) in the last five games. LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also started Kim Hye-sung for two consecutive games for this reason.

Despite the defeat the previous day, Roberts did not make any changes to the starting lineup. As in the previous day's game, Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Will Smith (catcher), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Teoscar Hernandez (right fielder), Andy Pazas (center fielder), Michael Confoto (left fielder), Tommy Edman (third baseman), Kim Hye-sung (second baseman) and Miguel Rojas (striker) were in order of batting order. The selection is the Emmett deadline.

For the time being, this type of starting lineup is likely to be maintained. Edman has to cover third base because of the injury of starting third baseman Max Muncy. Naturally, second base is up to Kim Hye-sung. Currently, no player in the Dodgers shows a more stable second base defense than Kim Hye-sung and at the same time shows a full batting skill.

Nevertheless, Roberts still has not shown clear trust in Kim Hye-sung. With one hit in two at-bats the previous day, he was replaced by pinch-hitter Esteury Lewis in his third at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. This is because the opposing pitcher was left-hander Jared Kenick. However, Lewis also withdrew with a normal fly ball to right field, and Roberts' pinch-hitting operation failed.

Milwaukee's starting pitcher is ace Freddie Peralta. He has 11 wins (four losses) and a 2.66 ERA in 20 games this season. Attention is focusing on how Kim Hye-sung will perform in the match against the opponent's ace. If he shows an effective target of Peralta, he is likely to take another leap from super utility man to main player.
