Phoenix – At the end of the exercises on most days during spring training, Evading Do live exercises that each player must make the ball clean and make an accurate throw to the first rule. If one of the player brokes a criminal or is wrongly throwing, they must all start again.
Whether it is ascending, or lifting test, or both, the evaders usually force a new football player Hayesj Kim26 years old from South Korea, to finally go, with the threats of others, “Let’s go to the evaders!” Since Grounder has been injured in an attempt to save Kim while the Mokie Betts Shortstop encourages fans to join the chant one day.
“We make him work a little and work to feel pressure in these situations, in an attempt to simulate two rejectionists in the ninth half, and he must make a big play,” said Tommy Edman, a Dodger -man, said. “I don’t think he missed one yet.”
Rocky SasakiThe 23 -year -old, who restricts jumping from Japan to major championships, generates the most curious and conspiracies in the Dodgers camp, but Kim, the man of the Korean Bibli, is the second.
Will Kim, a meager, 5 feet, 10 feet and 176, is a striking.
Will he collide with more power in the major championships more than he did in Korea, as he produced only 37 Homer and 150 pairs in 953 games, or is it more than two hunger strikes dependent on communication and speed?
Will Kim be able to play the short base and the third and external base well enough to develop to the facility player depicted by the evaders? Or are the potential defensive deficiencies in these spots transported it to the second rule?
It will take several weeks, and possibly months, until these questions are answered, but after two weeks of camp, veteran shortsup Miguel Rojas At least one thing is:
“It could be a winner of the Gold Glove Award, a Platinum Glue winner, at the second rule – I can tell you that now,” said Rojas. “The man makes plays really. It looks really sporty. He truly turns dual plays. He is not amazing at all. He just holds the ball and makes the play. I’m excited. He has the opportunity to do something special.”
It is clear that the best position for Kim is the second rule, as is evident from the devices he got and the distinctive Kbo fares he produced, but Dodgers plan to test a full diversity this spring before canceling the idea of the man’s utility.
Kim Shortstop played in the exhibition match on Saturday against Kansas City, where he paved a prize in the first half of a mistake before sending three clean and throwing the first rule in the third and fourth roles.
Director Dave Roberts said Kim will also start in the middle of the field, a position he did not play in Korea, the external corner sites and the third base.
“I think we have a lot of different options,” Roberts said about Kim’s defensive ability. We know that he can play second. James [Outman] And Andy [Pages] They compete in the center of the field, and Tommy [Edman] You can play there, but there is not much from the negative aspect of another left option that can play the center.
“I think the floor is, we know that he can play the second rule, but we can a kind of experience and know what is the level of its comfort in other locations.”
Ultimately, the amount of what Kim can specify through the extent of his success, and the extent of his success through the extent of its modification in the major championships, where the average speed of the fast ball was about 94 miles per hour with much higher than the average KBO 90 Mail per hour.
Kim, who works with coaches to strike Robert Van Squiuk and Aaron Bates, has already integrated many mechanical changes into his swing, and Edin, who played with Kim in the Classical Korean Global Bibli team in South Korea, said that Kim looks stronger and more physical now than he did before Two years.
“I know the highest speed will be a little transition for him, but I think a swing will adapt well, because it is not very long, like many men who swire,” Edman said. “He is a more heading man towards contact, and I think this will allow him to adapt to Velo a little easier than someone else.”
Some of Kim’s amendments will come before taking to the mixture box – it will come in the video room and in meetings with coaches and members of the analysis employees.
“It is in the league where everyone has really good things, and they will discover it and try to attack its weaknesses,” Rojas said. “So how quickly it is modified to the league will be important.”
Elysees took some gambling when they signed Kim for three years worth $ 12.5 million with options for 2028 and 2029, which could boost the deal to $ 22 million. Only a handful of players in the Korean position, the most prominent of which is football player Shin Soo Chu and the birth player, Ha-Sit Kim, who flourished in the major league championships.
But the evaders believe that Kim has efficiency, sporting ability and work ethics to be a big player in the league.
“You see the route of swing, makeup, work ethics, and extent of his ability, and that was through the ceiling,” said Brandon Gomez, Director General of Dodgerians. “Then you are betting on the presence of bats to the ball … betting on the athlete and the ability to make adjustments. There are a lot of really good pieces.
“But there is no way to simulate this, unlike seeing the main league monument and high -end rest, which is different from what he saw in the past. Therefore, we will continue to evaluate and bet on him to make adjustments on the road.”
Kim was injured in four bats with one blow and one walking in his first two games in the exhibition before he collided with one position and pulled on Sunday. While it is too early to extract any conclusions about his early game, he is keen to collect some visits.
“Everyone welcomed – the transition period was not a problem because everyone was great for me so far,” Kim said through the translator translator. “But now it’s time to show more results and show that I am ready to play at Dodger Stadium.”
