@AustinBru99: “Surprising move by the Dodgers! Few of my takeaways: ➡️ Swing Decisions matter. ➡️ Underlying metrics are essential. ➡️ Dodgers trust their process. Hyeseong Kim will be back. He’s too talented. Big congratulations to Alex Freeland! Hope he proves the org right.”
@iamalexalvarez: “At this point. It will be the best for both sides is to trade Hyeseong Kim to another team so he can play everyday in the Major Leagues. Alex Freeland is getting a spot as trade bait because Tommy Edman will be back soon. Kim deserves better. Is by getting traded.”
Jack Harris: “Dodgers pick Alex Freeland over Hyeseong Kim for their opening day roster Freeland didn’t produce much this spring (.116 avg), but showed better AB quality (11 BB/11 K). Kim made strides early in camp w/ swing, but struggled at WBC & came back looking “out of sync” mechanically”
