Bill Plunkett, a Dodgers reporter for the Los Angeles-area newspaper 「Orange County Register」, said on the 12th (Korean time)Juss is expected to make changes to the National League Championship Series roster. The Dodgers are expected to reduce one fielder (Kim Hye-sung or Justin Dean) by adding one pitcher. In the Division Series, the Dodgers managed the mound, including 11 pitchers and Shohei Ohtani (both pitching and hitting)," he reported.
Kim Hye-sung has been on the postseason roster since the wild-card series, but he spent almost all of his time on the bench.
Veteran infielder Miguel Rojas injured his hamstring and utility Tommy Edman's ankle condition expected Kim Hye-sung's playing time to increase, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts rarely intended to make changes. Instead of Rojas, Edman was used as a second baseman, setting up a lineup centered on experienced players. As a result, he lost 4-1 in five postseason games, so we cannot challenge Roberts' choice.
Kim Hye-sung stepped on the ground for the first time in a long time in Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on the 10th. Kim Hye-sung played as a pinch runner when Edman got on base with a hit after one out in the bottom of the 11th inning. a postseason debut game. With the bases loaded with two outs, Kim Hye-sung scored a finishing run when Andy Parz got on base due to a mistake in throwing a pitcher's grounder, and the Dodgers won 2-1 to confirm their advance to the Championship Series.

There is also a prospect that Kim Hye-sung will join the Championship Series roster. It's covering the news of the DodgersJustice' included Kim Hye-sung on the list of 13 fielders to join the roster.
Dodgers Nation expected catcher Dalton Rushing, not Kim Hye-sung and Justin Dean, to be left out of the fielder's roster, contrary to reporter Flunkett's expectation.
Until the Division Series, the Dodgers devoted three players, including Rushing, Will Smith and Ben Lotbet, to the catcher's roster. The main catcher Smith prepared for variables not long after recovering from a broken right incontinence.
Dodgers Nation is expected to exclude rushing to give the roster a little more liquidity with Smith looking healthy. Considering that Rushing is much more powerful at bat, Lotbet may be excluded. However, Lotbet is more suitable for the Dodgers' vibes now, he claimed.
Expectations regarding the change in the pitcher's roster were in line with reporter Flunkett. Dodgers Nation expected Justin Roblesky and Ben Kasparius to join in place of Tanner Scott, who left due to an abscess removal surgery, to increase the roster of pitchers to 12.
The U.S. local media's expectations are mixed. Will Kim Hye-sung survive the race to survive the fall baseball roster in the first year of the Major League and continue his challenge to win the World Series title ring.
