The Dodgers put Kim Hye-sung as a pinch runner when leadoff hitter Andy Parz got on base with a hit in the top of the ninth inning when they were losing 3-4. Kim Hye-sung immediately tried to steal second base even though the pitcher's check ball came in with one ball and one strike at Will Smith's plate, and succeeded in stealing with ease. 

Smith struck out swinging while playing check swing, but Kim Hye-sung's fast feet shone again. Catcher Drake Baldwin failed to catch the ball properly, which resulted in a strikeout, no-out situation, and Baldwin threw to the first base to catch Smith. Kim Hye-sung took advantage of the gap and ran to the third base, and was declared safe, creating a chance for one out and third base. 

However, the Dodgers failed to take full advantage of the opportunity that Kim created. As Miguel Rojas and Austin Barnes both struck out swinging, Kim did not score his first major league goal. The Dodgers lost 3-4. 

Kim Hye-sung was a leading infielder with a batting average of .343 (3,043 hits in 3,433 at-bats), 37 homers, 386 RBIs, 591 runs, 211 steals, and OPS.767, and attempted to advance to the Major League through posting after the end of last season. He also signed a three-plus-year, maximum 22 million-dollar contract with the Dodgers.

Kim, who successfully advanced to the Major League, recorded a batting average of .27 (six hits in 29 at-bats) in 15 exhibition games, one homer, three RBIs, six runs and two steals, and eventually started the season with Triple-A of Minor League, not Major League. Kim, who aimed for a call-up opportunity by adjusting her batting average in the Minor League, posted a batting average of .252 (29 hits in 115 at-bats), five homers, 19 RBIs, 22 runs and 13 steals in 28 games with an OPS of .798.

Kim Hye-sung, who got a call-up opportunity in the Major League due to Tommy Edman's injury, made her major league debut on the 4th. And in the game on the 5th, she made a strong impression by showing off her fast feet as a pinch runner. 

American media Dodger Blue said, "The Dodgers see Kim Hye-sung as a long-term option. "At this point, there won't be many starting games," he said. "However, Kim Hye-sung showed how he can contribute to the team on ESPN's national broadcast. He succeeded in stealing at tremendous speed and advanced 90 feet more while he was thrown to first base," he said, admiring Kim Hye-sung's baserunning.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Kim for his baserunning and said, "He was amazing and excited," adding, "Pitcher Iglesias is a very difficult pitcher to steal. However, Kim got off to a really good start and reached second base even though it was a close game. The scene where she went to third base afterwards really came to a big extent. Afterwards, she really turned the situation into an advantage at bat. This is the strength that Kim's speed brings to her team."
