LA Dodgers utility player Kim Hye-sung (26), who has been enjoying an autumn party since his first year in the major leagues, is likely to appear on the World Series stage.
Of course, there is little chance of winning the main job again this time. However, LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is likely to include Kim Hye-sung in the squad. Even if it is left only on the bench throughout the series, it seems to judge that it is profitable to use it only for one or two pinch-runners or chance to play defense.
For Kim Hye-sung, it is an atmosphere that follows heaven's luck. He is a lucky player from the beginning. It is not particularly competitive, but it is because he is enjoying the "Dream Stage" with his whole body while easily matching the good atmosphere of the current team.
Kim Hye-sung's chances of joining the World Series entry are growing again due to the team's training video released by the Dodgers on its official SNS on the 20th (Korea time).
The Dodgers began team training in preparation for the World Series at Los Angeles Dodger Stadium on the same day. The Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) on the 18th, winning the National League championship with four wins and no losses in the series and confirming their advance to the World Series.
After taking a day off on the 19th, the players gathered again at Dodger Stadium and began training for the 'World Series 2 consecutive losses'. Game 1 of the World Series will be held on the 25th. However, the opposing team has not been decided yet.
The American League Championship Series (best of seven) between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners led to the final 7th game after a mix-up. Toronto, which had been on the brink of elimination with two wins and three losses, balanced the series with 3 wins and three losses by winning 6-2 in Game 6 of the ALCS at Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The final Game 7 will be held on the 21st. Here, the winning team will clash with the Dodgers on the World Series stage.
Although the opponent is undecided, the Dodgers' squad resumed training on the 20th according to the set routine. He's already wearing a training T-shirt for 'World Series'.

However, Kim Hye-sung was caught in the video. Kim Hye-sung, like other players with a bright expression, wore a training T-shirt with the logo 'WORLD SERIES' to conduct infield defense training.
Of course, this scene alone cannot confirm Kim Hye-sung's joining the World Series roster. He may have participated as a training partner for other key players, or he may be in a situation where his condition is checked through training. I'll join the roster if I'm in good shape, and if I'm young, I might drop out this time.
But so far, Kim Hye-sung has had various postseason experiences since his first year in MLB with quite good luck. Following the wild card series, he experienced the National League Division Series and the Championship Series. Of course, very little has been put into practice in this process.
In Game 4 of the NL Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Dodger Stadium on the 10th, he came out as a pinch runner in the bottom of the 11th inning of extra time and scored the winning run when he grounded out in front of the pitcher. Even at that time, there was controversy over Kim Hye-sung's 'Running of Muji". Because I couldn't step on the home base at first. Kim Hye-sung was able to step on the home plate again and score the final score as the ball fell back due to the opposing pitcher's throwing error.
Except for this scene, he only showed support for his teammates on the bench. However, he proudly participated in the victory ceremony.
If Kim Hye-sung survives the World Series roster this time and experiences two consecutive losses, he will be the second Korean major leaguer to receive the World Series title ring in 21 years since Kim Byung-hyun, a member of the Boston Red Sox in 2004.
