Kim Hye-sung started as the ninth hitter and second baseman in an away game against the Miami Marlins in the 2025 Major League Baseball at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida, at 7:40 a.m. on the 6th (Korea Standard Time).

Kim entered the batter's box as a leadoff hitter at the top of the third inning when the Dodgers was leading 1-0. Kim aimed to produce a hit against Miami starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara.

Kim calmly picked out the 81-mile-per-hour curveball of Alcantara that went far beyond the strike zone. She then watched the 97-mile-per-hour fastball through the second pitch, and the referee called for a strike.

Kim Hye-sung turned the bat on Alcantara's third 90-mile change-up (about 145 km/h) in a one-ball one strike, but he swung and missed and was caught in a disadvantageous count of one ball two strikes.

Kim first fouled Alcantara's 90-mile changeup on her fourth pitch, continuing her fight. She hit a 99-mile sinking fastball on her fifth pitch, but was out after hitting a fly ball to the right field. However, as her timing was not bad, she decided to seek to get on base at the next batter's box.

Kim Hye-sung played in the bottom of the ninth inning with the Dodgers leading 10-3 in an away game against Atlanta on the 4th, becoming the 28th Korean big leaguer of all time.

Kim Hye-sung then stepped on the ground as a pinch runner on the 5th. In the top of the ninth inning, when the Dodgers were being dragged 3-4, he was put in as a pinch runner for Pazs with no outs and no outs. He accurately captured the timing of the pitch against Atlanta closer Iglesias, successfully stole second base with a perfect start to the third pitch, and showed off his unique sense of running. 

During pinch hitter Will Smith's strikeout process, Kim did not miss an opportunity when opposing catcher Drake Baldwin threw the ball to the first base, and ran to the third base. He slid faster than first baseman Matt Olsen's throw, making a safe by sliding to avoid tags. Although the Dodgers lost, Kim's base running performance shone through.

Kim even got her first chance to play as a starting pitcher on the following day. Kim is aiming to produce her first hit since debuting in the Major League against the Miami mound, which is the lowest in the East Division of the National League. 

Kim Hye-sung, who was born in 1999, graduated from Dongsan High School in Incheon in 2017 and joined the Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO League, starting his professional career. Until last year, he had a career of 953 games, batting average of 0.304, 1043 hits, 37 homers, 386 RBIs, 591 runs, 211 steals, on-base percentage of 0.364 and slugging percentage of 0.403.

After the end of the 2024 season, Kim Hye-sung signed a contract with the Dodgers for a contract period of 3+2 years and a maximum of 22 million dollars (about 32.4 billion won) through the posting system. It opened in the minor leagues in the aftermath of poor batting during this year's exhibition game, but after two months of tempering, it tasted the joy of big league call-ups and debuts on the 4th.
