The Dodgers announced their starting lineup ahead of the Miami Marlins match of the "2025 Major League Baseball (MLB)" at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida on the 6th (Korea time), including Kim Hye-sung's name.

Finally, he got his first start and a chance to hit.

Roberts assigned the first batter, Shohei Ohtani (designated), the second batter, Mukibetsu (striker), the third baseman, Freddie Freeman (first baseman), the fourth baseman, Theosca Hernandez (right fielder), the fifth baseman, Will Smith (catcher), the sixth baseman, Max Muncy (third baseman), the seventh baseman, Andy Farggs (center fielder), the eighth baseman, Michael Conforto (left fielder), and the ninth baseman, Kim Hye-sung (second baseman). The starting pitchers are left-hander Jack Dreyer.

The Dodgers posted the starting lineup on its official SNS and included a photo of Kim Hye-sung as its representative image.

Kim Hye-sung, who made her big league debut on the 4th, played as a pinch runner against the Atlanta Braves the previous day and showed strong baserunning.

He was substituted as a pinch runner for Andy Paz, who got on base with an infield hit at the top of the ninth inning when his team was being dragged 3-4 times, and induced a check ball once before successfully stealing second base by head first sliding. It was MLB's first stolen base.

Kim Hye-seong, who boasts a total of 211 steals in the KBO League, is a member of the team who was the stealer of the 2021 season. She also stole 13 bases in 28 games of Triple-A in the Minor League, and ranked at the top of the list.

It's not the end. Smith swung and missed the Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias ball, but the catcher failed to catch it. It was a strikeout-not-out situation, and Baldwin grabbed the ball and threw it to the first base to deal with Smith out.

In the meantime, Kim rushed to the third base boldly, moving to the third base. They were intelligent plays and quick feet that caught Atlanta infielders off guard. Local media said, "Kim Hye-sung flew to the third base," and were surprised by the fast feet. Coach Dave Roberts also said, "It was an impressive scene. Kim Hye-sung is a player with a good sense."

The next day, Kim Hye-sung was placed in the starting lineup. Kim Hye-sung received an emergency call-up to fill the injury gap of second baseman Tommy Hyun-soo Edman. When given the chance to start, the possibility of staying increases only when you leave a strong impression at bat.

Kim Hye-sung's first big league hit is right-hander Sandy Alcantara (29). He is the winner of the 2022 NL Cy Young Award (14 wins, 9 losses, 2.28 ERA). He rested last season due to Tommy John surgery. Alcantara, who returned to the team this season, is not good with two wins, three losses and 8.31 ERA in six games.
