Kim Hye-seong turned his disappointment over missing a September call-up into a three-hit performance, including a double, for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate.
The South Korean infielder played for the Oklahoma City Comets in an away game against the Round Rock Express, a Texas Rangers affiliate, at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas, on Sept. 2, Korean time.
The performance followed the failure of his hoped-for return to the majors through the expanded September roster. The result gave Kim a chance to make his case with his bat immediately after being left out.
