He was really persistent at every turn. Made him throw a total of 44 balls. Kim Hye-sung (27, LA Dodgers), who had five hits in the last one game, completed the third base game this time. Unfortunately, he couldn't hit a hit, but he bothered the opposing pitcher with a long game at every batter's box.

Kim Hye-sung, who plays for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets under the Los Angeles Dodgers, started as the first batter and second baseman in an away game against the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators of the 2026 U.S. Major League Baseball (MILB) at Las Vegas Ballpark in Las Vegas, Nevada on the 1st (Korea time), and scored two balls that fit three at-bats, no hits, two walks and one body. He remained hitless on the day, ending his streak of consecutive hits in three games.

Although he didn't get a hit, his on-base instincts remained. Kim Hye-sung got on base with a hit ball from his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. At the ball count 3-1, a 95.6 mile (152.9km) four-seam fastball hit Kim Hye-sung. He then homered on Jack Erhard's follow-up double, giving the team the first run.

Kim Hye-sung played a very persistent game in his second at-bat in the top of the second inning. Kim entered the batter's box with two outs and a full base. At that time, Kim had the opposing pitcher throw as many as 12 pitches.

After the first pitch swing and miss, he picked out the ball on the second pitch and turned the bat on the third pitch again. The bat went in vain on the outside low slider. The fourth pitch was a ball, and the fifth to eighth pitches were cut and all of them were fouled. It became a full count by picking out a low ball outside the ninth pitch. Then, both the 10th and 11th pitches came into the high zone outside, and Kim Hye-sung succeeded in cutting again. In the end, Kim Hye-sung picked out a slider that was slightly missing on the low course of his body for the 12th pitch and walked to get on base. However, the follow-up batter struck out and failed to score.

Kim Hye-sung struck out his fifth pitch with a foul tip in the top of the fourth inning with two outs and no runners. Then, in the top of the sixth inning, one out and one on the first and second bases. Kim Hye-sung calmly displayed his outstanding pioneering eyes again this time and walked to get on base. Again, he played a persistent game in which he had the opposing pitcher throw eight pitches. He then settled on second base when Erhard had a hit and scored when Ryan Fitzgerald hit a timely hit after two outs. It was his second score of the day.

Kim Hye-sung struck out swinging in the top of the seventh inning after a full count game going up to nine pitches with no outs and no outs. In the top of the eighth inning, he also struck out a rookie after a five-pitch game with one out and one on the first base. In the bottom of the eighth inning, he showed off his utility skills by changing his defensive position from second baseman to center fielder. The Oklahoma City Comets won 13-8.

After the game, Kim Hye-sung's triple-A performance in four games recorded a batting average of 0.412 (7 hits in 17 at-bats), two RBIs, eight points, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.971.

In addition, Song Sung-moon, who plays for El Paso Chihuahua, a Triple-A club under the San Diego Padres, resumed hit production. On the same day, Song Sung-moon started the game against the Tacoma Rainiers (under the Seattle Mariners) at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, Washington, USA, and marked one hit and one RBI from five times at bat. Song Sung-moon, who had recently been silent with no hits in 10 consecutive at-bats, hit a valuable hit in his last at-bat in the ninth inning, setting the stage for a rebound. Song Sung-moon's batting average for the Triple-A season fell slightly to 0.235 (4 hits in 17 at-bats). The team won the game 6-4.
