The Los Angeles Dodgers are making waves by promoting infielder Ha-Seong Kim from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of their clash with the Atlanta Braves. Kim, a 26-year-old who previously dazzled in the KBO, signed a three-year, $12.5 million deal with the Dodgers and is stepping in to fill the shoes of the injured Tommy Edman.

During his time in the KBO, Kim showcased impressive stats, batting .304 with 386 RBI and 211 stolen bases in 953 games. His minor league performance, while not stellar, included notable speed with 13 stolen bases in 28 games. Despite concerns over his swing mechanics, the Dodgers have worked diligently to refine his approach, aiming to optimize his transition to MLB pitching.
