MLB.com said on the 6th (Korea time) 'Who will be the winner of the Rookie of the Year award in 2025. There is no clear favorite in the American League, but there seems to be one in the National League. However, if Roki Sasaki of Japan signs a contract, he will be at the top of the list of candidates no matter which league he enters.
MLB.com asked a variety of questions to the front office, ranging from general managers to scouts to staff in the development department. We have received responses from all 30 clubs to accommodate as many comments as possible'
Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews was ranked first in the NL Rookie of the Year. Crews had an overwhelming 50 percent support. Second place was Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Bubba Chandler and Arizona Diamondbacks Jordan Lawler followed.
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing and St. Louis Cardinals infielder Thomas Sagis also received votes.
Kim Hye-sung was not mentioned. Kim Ha-sung was ranked 5th in the Rookie of the Year nomination by MLB.com in March 2021. MLB.com selected Lee Jung-hoo as a candidate for the Rookie of the Year in 2024.
Of course, expectations can be seen through the size of the contract.
Kim will receive up to 22 million U.S. dollars for five years. Three-year 12.5 million dollars is a guarantee contract. In 2028 and 2029, $9.5 million (about 14 billion won) for two years is a team option.
Kim Ha-sung signed a four-year, $28 million contract with the San Diego Padres after the 2020 season. Lee Jung-hoo successfully signed a six-year, $113 million megaton contract with the San Francisco Giants.
The Dodgers seem to have signed Kim Hye-sung as a backup defense agent at home and abroad. Kim Hye-sung has to survive by proving her skills in a small number of opportunities.

Kim Hye-sung is expected to form a competitive structure with Rojas and Taylor.
The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya said Kim Hye-sung will play the role of 'super utility'. MTR suggests that Kim Hye-sung will be used in several positions. Kim Hye-sung gained considerable experience in both shortstop and second baseman. Not many games have been played at third base. He also came out in left field. I wonder if the Dodgers will use Kim Hye-sung in the outfield as well.
Subsequently, MTR is estimated to be given a larger role than that of ordinary bench members. But all of themThere are too many talented competitors in Juss. Kim Hye-sung said, "I have to make an effort to secure time to participate."
