Kim Hye-sung started as the eighth shortstop in an exhibition game against the San Francisco Giants at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona on the 2nd (Korea time) and hit his first home run in the Major League game.
It was my second at-bat. Kim Hye-sung, who entered the batter's box after one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, trailing 1-2, pushed the ball over the left fence when San Francisco right-hander Mason Black's 91.6-mile four-seam fastball flew into the middle.
The parabolic ball went over the inside of the left foul pole and fell on the roof of the bullpen. Kim Hye-sung, who confirmed the home run, went around the base without any gestures, and after stepping home, he was welcomed by the next batters Griffin Lockwood-Powell and Chris Taylor in turn. Manager Dave Roberts, who was in the dugout, then took a step up the stairs and greeted Kim Hye-sung with a big round of applause, gave him a high-five and tapped his hip twice.

Then "I thought the Dodgers players would do a silent ceremony, but they didn't. Dodgers players in the dugout greeted him with high fives and laughter."
It was his first home run in seven games and 16 at-bats in this spring training exhibition game. Kim Hye-sung hit one hit in 14 at-bats until the previous day, with a batting average of 7.1 and manager Roberts could start the season in the minor league" had to be warned. Local media raised a series of predictions that Kim Hye-sung is likely to start the season in the minor leagues. However, this home run provided an opportunity to blow away all distrust.
Kim Hye-sung's batting sense on the day was different from his first at-bat. Kim Hye-sung, who took his first at-bat after one out in the bottom of the third inning when trailing 0-2, walked his fifth pitch against right-hander Tristan Beck to get on base. Lockwood-Powell's left double then turned second and third and homered to score his team's first run. Kim Hye-sung's first score in an exhibition game is expected to have gained confidence in his batting and batting skills.
Kim Hye-sung hit a ground ball to the second base in the seventh inning, trailing 4-5, and got on base with a runner out. Kim Hye-sung, who advanced to third base on a follow-up hit, homered with DePola's left-handed hit to tie the score at 5-5.
Kim He-sung was replaced by Sean McClain during the defense in the top of the eighth inning.
Kim Hye-sung, who scored one hit, one RBI and three runs in two at-bats, marked a batting average of 0.125 (2 hits in 16 at-bats), one home run, one RBI, two runs, three walks, seven strikeouts and an OPS of 0.576 in the exhibition game. The Dodgers won the game 6-5.

He hit a double in his first at-bat with one out and a runner on third in the top of the first inning and hit an RBI single. With a ball count of 1B1S, Dodgers right-hander Matt Sauer pulled a slider in the middle of the third pitch of 85.1 miles and hit a big ball to the right. Dodgers right fielder Teoscar Hernandez missed a fast-flying ball over his head, making it a double. The big line drive hit flew 370 feet at 19 degrees and 109.6 miles. With Lee Jung-hoo's double, third baseman Grant McCray homered and scored the first run.
Lee Jung-hoo then hit a right-handed hit in the third inning with one out and a runner on the first base to lead 2-0. However, he failed to reach home due to a failed follow-up hit.
In the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead, he struck out after two outs. Two-strike has committed clock biases. He said he didn't prepare to hit on time. Lee Jung-hoo was replaced when he defended at the bottom of the sixth inning with a 3-2 lead.
