Kim Hye-sung started the away exhibition game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Phoenix American Family Field in Arizona on the 27th (Korea time) and recorded no hits and one strikeout in three at-bats.
Kim Hye-sung's first start in four days since the Kansas City Royals match on the 23rd, and his first second baseman selection since the Chicago Cubs match on the 21st, the opening game of the exhibition game. However, Kim Hye-sung has been sluggish day after day at bat.
Kim Hye-sung went out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the third inning, trailing 0-2. Right-hander Carlos Rodriguez pulled a fastball through the low strike zone in the outside of the first pitch, but it was caught by right fielder Brewer Hicklen in right-center.
The Dodgers scored six points in the fourth inning to turn the tide to 6-3. Kim Hye-sung didn't get a hit again this time. The Dodgers tied the game 3-3 with Max Muncy's dune, Chris Taylor's double to the left, and David Bottie's double to the right field with one out, with Kim Hye-sung taking the batter's box.
Kim Hye-sung hit Rodriguez's sixth pitch outside sinker in the full count and grounded out to third base. At this time, second baseman Bottie advanced to third base. The Dodgers turned the tide 6-3 by adding three runs on consecutive hits by Hunter Peduccia, dipola on the lake and Miguel Rojas.

As a result, Kim Hye-sung recorded a batting average of 0.083 (1 hit in 12 at-bats), two walks and five strikeouts in five spring training games. There are no home runs, RBIs or runs scored, and the strikeout rate from 14 at-bats is 35.7%.
In this situation, Roberts also tilts his head.
The LA Times said on the same day 'Kim Hye-sung as a minor league? Asked in an article titled `Why the Dodgers are considering fostering the rookie as an alternative, Roberts admitted that the Korean infielder Kim Hye-sung's position in his team's opening game plan still has a question mark attached to his hit." Roberts also explained how the coaches guide a series of swing-form changes as Kim Hye-sung is adjusting to a major league-level pitch."
In other words, the Dodgers are providing all kinds of support to Kim Hye-sung's batting adaptation.

He then said "Kim Hye-sung believes in himself and comes here to compete. They are competing for a seat. We're putting out all the scenarios, so we don't have to decide right now"But I want to be clear that there are questions about hitting. From our point of view, it is a fair idea."
Roberts said, `It's early in the camp and looking at his batting form, I think there should be a full-scale adjustment to cope with the high speed. We have to deal with the flamboyant fumbles, cutters and changeups of the right-hander's ball end"That's why you go to the game a lot. But it certainly has a lot of talent. He's a really smart player, an open-minded player, and full of energy. I have a lot of things to like."
