Can't find the ball! Kim Hye-sung caused trouble in the outfield guard, and the head coach pointed out the fatal reason

Dodgers South Korea's Kim Hye-sung was in the midfield today, and he suffered a defensive flaw in the first inning, missing a chance to catch a flying ball and give the Sidewinders the lead. The Dodgers lost 5-9 to make it their first four-game losing streak of the season, and head coach Dave Roberts also mentioned the defensive judgment after the game.

In the first inning, Dodgers started Jack Dreyer with a left-handed shot and fell into a 1-out first- and second-base crisis, and was hit a midfield-right flyer against Sidewinders' 4th baseman, Eugenio Suárez. The ball fell between him and right fielder Teoscar Hernández for a second base hit, and the Sidewinders scored a point first, and then added another point by rolling the ball.

Roberts explained after the game, "He (Kim Hye-sung) couldn't see the ball at all, maybe the twilight light caused the visual interference, which was really unlucky."

It is worth noting that Kim Hye-sung used to be the hero of the Korean Vocational Training Certificate, and he did not defend any of the outfielders, but he was arranged to start in the major leagues. As for why Kim Hye-sung was assigned to guard the outfield and Tommy Edman to guard second base, Roberts explained, "Edman only defended the outfield yesterday, and we don't want his right ankle to be overloaded, so let him run less today and rest him tomorrow."

The Dodgers have been in a slump lately, winning only 1 of their last 5 games, and their shooting is at a low ebb on both ends. Despite this, Mookie Betts was a morale-booster, saying after the double shot, "We're not giving up yet, it's just part of the season. We will try to bring the wounded back to the team, so that the main force can return to the battlefield and continue to do our best."
