The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly landed a star from Korea.
Kim, 25, has been in the KBO since 2017 and spent the last six seasons with the Kiwoom Heroes. In 127 games with the Heroes last season, he hit .326/.383/.458 with 26 doubles, four triples, 11 home runs, 75 RBI, 90 runs and 30 stolen bases. He’s hit .304/.364/.403 for his career.
Kim mostly plays second base but has also spent time at shortstop and third base, meaning the Dodgers will get a versatile defender who can adjust to different spots in the infield if needed.
Los Angeles will now begin its title defense boasting a handful of strong new additions, with Kim just adding to the list.
Right now, the Dodgers have Gavin Lux at second, Mookie Betts at shortstop and Max Muncy at third, though Kim could make his way into the starting lineup with a strong showing in spring training later this year.
Per The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya, the Dodgers are in agreement with Korean Baseball Organization infielder Hye-seong Kim ahead of the end of his posting window, which closes Friday.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported the contract is for three years with an option for 2028-29 and includes .5 million guaranteed. Heyman noted that the contract is worth up to million.
