Another person is Kim Hye-sung. Kim Hye-sung, who is evaluated as a super utility infielder from KBO, is rapidly melting down by showing his affinity to Dodgers teammates with his unique cheerful personality.
There is one thing that surprised manager Dave Roberts. It's body fat percentage.
At the beginning of the camp, Roberts said, `Kim Hye-sung is a much stronger player than I thought. The player with the least body fat in our camp. First baseman Freddie Freeman is also quick and athletic. I heard that our team has the lowest body fat percentage," he said, referring to a solid muscular body.
Kim Hye-sung is said to have managed his muscles by steadily weight training during his KBO days. The diet is also thorough enough to attract admiration from people around it.
However, an interesting video was posted on the Dodgers' official SNS on the 18th (Korea time). The Dodgers seem to have a competition to eat a lot of chicken wings during spring training every year, but if you look at the screen, the person who takes the video will be "Who do you think will win if there is a competition to eat chicken wings among your teammates?" asks.

Shohei Ohtani then appeared and responded "Bazuka" just like Betts. When asked why, Ohtani opens his eyes wide and says in English "He's big!" "Always eat a lot" he explained as if it were natural.
Next is Miguel Rojas. He might have to say "Bazooka. Because I eat a lot. I like to eat, but I will eat 70 chicken wings for 45 minutes."
But Roberts gave a different answer. He is Blake Trinen. Isn't he big enough. I think his focus is determination.'
Kim Hye-sung comes next. His answer was simple. Without hesitation, he said "Shohei" and "Big Guy" Then Ohtani, who was next to him, smiles broadly, nods his head and raises his right hand. Confidence to win?
Yoshinobu Yamamoto also said "Bazuka" and "He's strong"
