Los Angeles Dojers were hoping for potential early production that KBO League star Hesong Kim would bring with the team in its first year. The front office, media and fans estimated a learning state to enter MLB in Kim, but despite having talent, Kim still had a lot to develop.
At the beginning of the season, Los Angeles estimated a initial roster spot for Kim, but required time to develop in Triple-a ball.
Kim’s patience and determination are paying after manager Dave Roberts summoned to the doseers’ roster on Saturday morning. Los Angeles placed Infielder Tommy Edman in the 10-day injured list for ankle injury.
Kim has finally discovered her way for a major league spot, but still has a lot to be comfortable with the doseers. La Times’ Jack Harris reports that Roberts has a plan for Kim, but it is temporary. Kim will allegedly get some beginning, but will possibly come out of the bench.
Dave Roberts said that the plan is to keep Hijong Kim here until Tommy Edman returns. He can start something, but will possibly come out of the bench

Roberts believes that it will give Kim a major league experience even while providing some help to the team. Kim is still expected to start something, but the team hopes that he will come out of the bench.
Los Angeles Dojers Second Base Hesong Kim (6) gave a ground ball against San Francisco veterans during the third innings at Cameback Rench-Gellandel.
There are still indications that Kim is playing more efficiently on the edges of the ground, especially in kill, but the team wants more progress.
This season in 28 matches with Oklahoma City Comities, Kim scored 22 runs, 29 hits (with five runs), 19 RBI, 13 stolen bases, 10 walks, 32 strikes, a .252 batting average, one-base percentage of .328 and a slugging percentage. Is responsible for 470.
