In a standout performance, Hyeseong Kim played a pivotal role in the Dodgers' emphatic 18-2 victory over the Yankees. Filling in for the injured Mookie Betts, Kim went 4-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs and three runs scored. His defensive skills also shone through as he executed an unassisted double play and made a crucial outfield assist against Aaron Judge. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Kim's all-around abilities and noted his exceptional fit within the team, highlighting his respectful demeanor despite language barriers. Kim’s game marked a historic milestone in MLB history.
Kim became the first player in MLB history during the Modern Era to achieve at least four hits, a home run, an unassisted double play, and an outfield assist in a single game.
He was huge. It was awesome to see him kind of saving me. The double play ball and then that throw in on Judge was just awesome.
I think he's got a plus-arm. It doesn't always show, but he's an all-around good baseball player. Giving him some runway, he's making good on it.
Just that baseball language. I think he's very respectful, very humble. There's a joy to it that I think draws people towards him.
