"Hyeseong Kim had a solid spring, slashing .407/.448/.519 with a home run and six RBIs, but the Dodgers clearly have a role in mind for Freeland."
"Alex has been really impressive all spring. He's worked really hard with our hitting group, and his swing looks great from both sides."
"It's one of those things that you could argue both sides of either decision, as far as Alex or Hyeseong. And so I just don't think it's clear cut."
Hyeseong Kim was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the regular season. Competing for a roster spot, Kim faced strong competition from prospect Alex Freeland. With Tommy Edman sidelined, Freeland is likely to fill the gap. Kim had an impressive spring training, hitting .407 with a home run and six RBIs. However, Dodgers executives favored Freeland, who showed strong performance and versatility. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the competition but noted the decision was not straightforward.
