Major League Baseball predicted the FA market in the new year on its official website and mentioned Kim Ha-sung and Kim Hye-sung together.

MLB.com said on the 2nd (Korea time) 'It is a good time to evaluate the FA market as the calendar is over to 2025. 'The talent pool has shrunk quite a bit, but there are still attractive options left for teams looking to address key requirements before spring training begins'

MLB.com listed several candidates by categorizing the list of starters, sluggers, relievers, and defenders. Kim Ha-sung and Kim Hye-sung were tied together with Harrison Bader on the 'Defensive Expert' list.

MLB.com evaluated that Kim Ha-sung Kim Hye-sung Bader is suitable for a team that wants defense rather than offense, saying, `All Kim Ha-sung Kim Hye-sung Bader can exert influence at bat, but they are more outstanding players in the field.'

MLB.com said, "'Kim Ha-sung missed the last six weeks of the season with a right shoulder injury. But he was a plus defender as a shortstop when he played for San Diego. He explained that he recorded an OAA (outside average) 23 in four seasons, moving between shortstop second and third base.

OAA is an indicator of how many more outcounts have been captured than average.

MLB.com said, "'Kim Hye-sung will enter the Major League this winter after spending eight seasons with KBO's Kiwoom Heroes. He is very good at guessing. He hit .336 this year and stole 30 bases. He said he won four Golden Gloves in the KBO.
