"Lucky Charm of the Dodgers" Kim Hyesung, Finally Returns! 'Three Consecutive Hits' Signals Big League Comeback!

[Financial News]  Kim Hyesung (26, Los Angeles Dodgers), who had been out of action due to a left shoulder injury, announced a successful rehabilitation by hitting consecutive hits in three games. Now his eyes are set on the big league again. The day when the Dodgers' 'utility player' Kim Hyesung will join the team is not far off.
On the 30th of last month, Kim Hyesung, who was placed on the injured list (IL) due to bursitis in his left shoulder, is honing his game sense through minor league rehabilitation games. On the 24th (Korean time), he participated as the second designated hitter in a Triple-A game held in Tacoma, Washington, recording 1 hit in 5 at-bats, continuing his streak of hits in three consecutive games.
In particular, the hit in his last at-bat in the top of the 9th inning clearly showed his recovery. He targeted a powerful 152 km/h sinker from the opposing pitcher and sent a bullet-like line drive at 158 km/h in front of the center fielder. By recording a batting average of 0.364 in three rehabilitation games, he proved that he has perfectly regained his sharp hitting sense from before the injury.
MLB.com predicted that "Kim Hyesung will return to the big league this weekend starting from the 25th," indicating that his return is imminent. Having debuted in the big league by signing with the Dodgers this season, Kim Hyesung has established himself as an indispensable 'utility' player for the team, recording a batting average of 0.304, 2 home runs, 15 RBIs, and 12 stolen bases in 58 games.
His return is expected to inject great vitality into the Dodgers' second-half race, where they are engaged in fierce ranking competition. Attention is focused on what kind of performance Kim Hyesung, who will return after overcoming the unfortunate injury, will show as a key player for the Dodgers until the end of this season.
