Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a significant addition to their infield, signing Korean infielder Hyunsoo Kim to a three-year, $12.5 million deal. The contract, which was announced on Tuesday, marks a major milestone for Kim, who becomes the latest Korean player to join the Dodgers.

Kim, 26, is a highly regarded prospect from the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO). He has played primarily as a second baseman and shortstop in the KBO, and has a career batting average of .294 with 43 home runs and 231 RBIs in 642 games.

The Dodgers have been scouting Kim for several years, and believe he has the potential to be a key contributor to their infield. The team’s scouting department has been impressed with Kim’s hitting ability, speed, and defensive skills.

“Hyunsoo is a very talented player who we think can help us at the major league level,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. “He’s got a lot of energy and a great work ethic, and we’re excited to see him in a Dodgers uniform.”

Kim’s signing is the latest move in the Dodgers’ offseason effort to bolster their roster. The team has also re-signed outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and traded for pitcher Ryan Yarbrough.

The Dodgers’ infield has been a area of focus for the team this offseason, and Kim’s signing provides additional depth and flexibility. The team is expected to return a strong core of position players, including Hernandez, Mookie Betts, and Will Smith.

Kim is expected to report to the Dodgers’ spring training camp in Glendale, Arizona, where he will compete for a spot on the team’s opening day roster. The Dodgers are excited to see Kim in action and believe he has the potential to make a significant impact on the team.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Hyunsoo to the Dodgers organization,” said Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. “He’s a talented young player with a lot of upside, and we’re excited to see him develop and contribute to our team’s success.”

Kim’s signing is a significant milestone for Korean baseball, as it marks the latest example of a Korean player joining a major league team. The Dodgers have a strong track record of scouting and developing Korean talent, and Kim is expected to be the latest success story.

As Kim prepares to embark on his major league career, he is aware of the challenges that lie ahead. However, he is confident in his abilities and is excited to get started.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Dodgers and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to compete at the major league level,” Kim said through a translator. “I know it won’t be easy, but I’m willing to work hard and do whatever it takes to help the team succeed.”
