Kim Hye-seong faces mixed prospects for Dodgers call-up

Kim Hye-seong, an infielder playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, is facing mixed outlooks regarding a potential Major League Baseball call-up.

Recent performance has shown improvement, with Kim recording multiple hits in a recent game against El Paso and extending a hitting streak to seven games. This surge has led South Korean media to question why he has not yet been recalled, especially with MLB rosters expanding from 26 to 28 players on September 1.

However, some U.S. media outlets remain skeptical. Reports from Dodgers-specific media have criticized Kim for a significant lack of power, suggesting his playing style may not translate to the Major Leagues. While injuries to outfielders like Andy Pages have created potential openings, analysts suggest that current Triple-A performers may be preferred over Kim for a permanent roster spot.
