CBS Sports in the U.S. introduced promising players who will exert great influence in the Major League Baseball (MLB) in the 2025 season on the 23rd and mentioned Rocky Sasaki (Dodgers) and Kim Hye-sung.

The media divided a total of 15 players into three grades: players who will enter the opening entry, players who can play from the opening game if they supplement it a little more, and players who will expect after the middle of the season.

Among them, Kim Hye-sung was named as one of the four players who will be on the opening list. CBS Sports categorized four players besides Kim, Sasaki, Dylan Crews (Washington Nationals), and Jason Dominguez (New York Yankees) as the top-ranked players. As for them, he predicted that they will be included in the team's opening game plan unless a big problem arises.

The media evaluated Kim Hye-sung, saying, "He can appear in every game, and if the hit is supported, it will be a useful resource like Niko Horner," adding, "It is expected to record a lot of stolen bases and scores."

Horner, who compared Kim Hye-sung, was a Chicago Cubs infielder with a batting average of 0.273, seven homers, 48 RBIs, and 31 steals in the MLB in the 2024 season. However, he added, "We should consider that Kim Ha-sung or Lee Jung-hoo, who had better batting than Kim Hye-sung in the KBO League, are having some difficulties in MLB."

Sasaki, who became Kim Hye-sung's teammate, was the first among the four to be introduced. CBS Sports praised Sasaki as a prodigy in Japan, saying, "She is the world's best splitter that disappears as soon as she passes home plate by throwing a fastball over 100 miles per hour (161 kilometers)."

Washington and New York Yankees outfielders Cruz and Dominguez are players in their early 20s who experienced MLB through the minor leagues last season.
