The Dodgers announced a 26-man roster ahead of Game 1 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center on the 25th (Korea time).

Kim Hye-sung was named to the bench/utility position along with Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas. He was the fifth Korean player to be on the World Series stage after Kim Byung-hyun, Park Chan-ho, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Choi Ji-man.




As a result, Kim Hye-sung became a member of this year's postseason series, which continued to WS after the Wild Card Series (WCS), the Division Series (DS), and the National Championship Series (NLCS). be persistent 'life power'

However, it is still unclear whether Kim Hye-sung will get a chance to play in batting and defense at WS. He only played as a pinch runner in just one of the 10 games his team played.

Tommy Edman, who hit a left-handed hit in the bottom of the 11th inning against the Philadelphia Phillies 1-1 overtime in Game 4 of the DS at Dodger Stadium on the 10th, was replaced as a pinch runner. It was Kim Hye-sung's historic Major League postseason debut.




Kim Hye-sung ran to third base when Max Muncy hit a heavy hit, and with the bases loaded with one out, Kim Hye-sung homered and scored a finishing run while opposing pitcher Orion Kirkering caught Andy Farggs' ground ball and made a missed error. It was the moment Kim Hye-sung's foot led the Dodgers to the NLCS.

However, Kim Hye-sung has never been at bat or in a defensive position. He is the only Dodgers fielders on the roster of this postseason.

In this WS, it will be difficult for Kim Hye-sung to take the batter's box as a pinch hitter, let alone a starter. This is because manager Dave Roberts considers Kim Hye-sung's utilization as a logistical ratio.

Again, the Dodgers made up the roster of 12 pitchers, one pitching and one fielding, and 13 fielders.

Compared to the NLCS, there has been a change in the pitching staff. Left-hander bullpen Alex Besia and right-hander Ben Casparriers were out, and right-handers Edgardo Enriquez and Wil Klein were included. Left-hander Tanner Scott, who had high expectations after recovering from injury, was not included again this time.

In the case of Vesia, he pitched in seven postseason games, gave up three hits and three walks in four ⅔ innings, struck out four, and allowed two runs, but he was excluded due to his personal history. The Dodgers can join Bessia after Game 3 if he is listed on the 'Family Medical Emergency List'.

The starting lineup for Game 1 was in the order of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Teoscar Hernandez, Max Muncy, Kike Hernandez, Tommy Edman, and Andy Paz. The starting pitcher is Blake Snell.

Against this, Toronto is in the order of George Springer, Davis Schneider, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bobby??, Alejandro Kirk, Dalton Basho, Ernie Clement, Miles Straw and Andres Jimenez. Toronto starter is 22-year-old rookie right-hander Trey Savage.
