Kim Hye-sung will also start as the ninth batter and second baseman in the game.
The Dodgers started in the order of Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (striker), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Will Smith (catcher), Max Muncy (third baseman), Andy Parx (right fielder), Michael Confoto (left fielder), James Outman (center fielder), and Kim Hye-sung (second baseman).
Kim started in the Minor League without being listed in the opening entry of the Major League this season. The poor exhibition games were the decisive factor. Kim played in 15 exhibition games and posted a batting average of 0.207 (six hits in 29 at-bats), one homer, three RBIs, four walks and 11 strikeouts, and an on-base percentage of 0.303 on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.310 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.613.
After moving to the minor league, Kim was waiting for a chance at Triple-A. Kim played in 28 Triple-A games and posted a batting average of 0.252 (29 hits in 115 times at bat) with five homers, 19 RBIs, 22 runs and 13 steals, and an OPS of 0.798 . In the end, when Tommy Edman left due to injury, the Dodgers made a surprise call-up of Kim Hye-sung to fill his gap on the 4th.
Kim played as a substitute for the big defense and pinch runner at the match against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday and Thursday. Kim started the game against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, and posted two hits, one RBI and one stolen base from four times at bat. Kim, who also had consecutive hits by posting one hit from four times at bat at the match against the Miami Marlins on Thursday last week, also started the game and posted two hits, one RBI and one run from four times at bat.
After the game on the 8th, Kim Hye-sung's major league record played in five games, with a batting average of 0.417 (five hits in 12 at-bats), two RBIs, three runs, one strikeout, two steals (0 failed), and a 0.417 slugging percentage of 0.417 OPS of 0.834.
Kim Hye-sung will also be the starting pitcher in the game on Tuesday. The starting pitcher for the Dodgers on the day is Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto has been displaying stellar performance this season, with four wins and two losses and an ERA of 0.90.
Kim Hye-sung's performance is also praised by his teammate Ohtani. According to the U.S. media outlet Dodgers Nation, Ohtani said, "Kim Hye-sung is showing amazing performance. Overall, he is really good. It was the same when I was a pinch runner," adding, "So I'm very happy for him."
"I'm still unfamiliar with Otani," Kim said. "He's an amazing superstar. Still, Otani always talks to me. I try to have conversations by asking many questions. This will help me adjust to the situation." Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game on Tuesday, "To be honest, everyone likes Kim. She is the one who invigorates our team," expressing his trust. "Kim Hye-sung seems to have become the starting player for the time being as he has played in three consecutive games."
Meanwhile, against the Dodgers, Arizona formed the starting lineup in the order of Corbin Carroll (right fielder), Ketel Marte (second baseman), Pavin Smith (designated hitter), Josh Naylor (first baseman), Eugenio Suarez (third baseman), Gabriel Moreno (catcher), Luerdes Gurriel Jr. (left fielder), Alec Thomas (center fielder), and Heraldo Perdomo (striker). The starting pitcher is right-hander Brandon Part, who has five wins and two losses and an ERA of 3.79 this season. The Dodgers ranks first in the National League West with 25 wins and 12 losses, while Arizona ranks fourth with 19 wins and 18 losses, respectively.
