Kim's Improved Swing Boosts Dodgers Roster Chances, Heads to WBC

Dodgers infielder Hyeseong Kim is making significant progress with his swing mechanics, working with coaches to improve power and stability, which has bolstered his roster chances. He's batting 6-for-13 in Cactus League games, highlighted by a 384-foot home run on Feb 26. Manager Dave Roberts noted his 'great spring.' Kim, 27, will now join Team South Korea for the World Baseball Classic, making a strong case for a utility role at second base and center field, especially with Tommy Edman on the injured list.
