"Hyeseong Kim had a strong spring, hitting .407 with a .967 OPS, but was optioned to Triple-A as the Dodgers preferred he refine his swing in the minors."
"Alex Freeland won the roster spot despite hitting only .116 in Spring Training, as the Dodgers are impressed by his underlying metrics and believe he is due for improved results."
Hyeseong Kim was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City after competing for a roster spot with Alex Freeland, who secured the position. Kim had an impressive spring, hitting .407 with a .967 OPS, but the Dodgers preferred he continue refining his swing in the minors. Last season, Kim had a solid start but struggled later, finishing with a .280 average. Freeland will now share second base duties with Miguel Rojas, despite his low spring training average, due to his strong underlying metrics and potential for improvement.
