“Most Disappointing Year Of My Baseball Career” – Hyeseong Kim Makes Honest Admission After Dodgers End 2026 With NLCS Exit
Hyeseong Kim has reflected on a difficult 2026 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, admitting that it was the most disappointing year of his baseball career after struggling to secure regular playing time in the major leagues. The Dodgers’ postseason campaign ended on Thursday after they were swept 4-0 by the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS.
Hyeseong Kim, a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has candidly admitted that 2026 was the most disappointing year of his baseball career. The season was marked by his struggle to secure regular playing time at the major league level. The Dodgers' postseason journey came to an abrupt end on Thursday with a 4-0 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS.
The team's offensive struggles in the championship round compounded the disappointment. Kim, who was part of the Dodgers' roster for the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves, only appeared in a single game. He was left out of the NLCS roster due to the team opting to carry an extra pitcher. Kim expressed his desire to play for the team, stating that cheering for the team's victory was his primary focus.
He acknowledged that the year was particularly challenging, given that he spent only about a month in the Major Leagues. Kim admitted that his limited playing time was a significant setback and emphasized that becoming a regular starter requires a focus on improving his hitting. He plans to refine his leg-kick batting style and work on becoming a better hitter during the offseason.
