Kim signed a three-plus-year, up to 22 million U.S. dollars contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday. The deal lasts for three years and guarantees 12.5 million dollars. Since then, the team has a two-year option until 2028, the deal could reach a maximum of 22 million dollars for three plus two years.
Kim Hye-sung, who made her professional debut in 2017 after graduating from Dongsan High School, played as a one-club man for the Heroes and played in 953 games in the first division until last year with a batting average of .343 (1,043 hits in 3,433 at-bats) of 37 homers, 386 RBIs, 591 runs and 211 steals.
Starting with the Golden Glove in the shortstop category in 2021, he has held the Golden Glove in the second baseman category for three consecutive years from 2022. He also played in various international stages, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC), the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, and the 2023 Asian Baseball Championship (APBC).
Under the Korea-U.S. player contract agreement signed by the KBO and the Major League Secretariat, the Dodgers must pay 20 percent of Kim Hye-sung's guaranteed contract amount to Kiwoom, as the guaranteed contract amount is less than 25 million dollars. In other words, 2.5 million dollars, or 20 percent of the 12.5 million dollars, will be paid to Kiwoom. If the Dodgers execute all of the two-year 9.5 million dollars (about 14 billion won) team options, an additional 1.425 million dollars (about 2.1 billion won) will be paid, or 15 percent of the option contract amount.
Kiwoom, which sent the most players among the 10 KBO league clubs to the Major League through posting, has a cumulative posting fee of 42.2 million dollars (about 62.1 billion won) before Kim Hye-sung. Starting with receiving 5 million dollars, 2015 (about 7.4 billion won) through Kang Jung-ho in 2015, Park Byung-ho received 12.85 million dollars (about 18.9 billion won) in 2016, Kim Ha-sung 5.525 million dollars (about 8.1 billion won) in 2021, and Lee Jung-hoo 18.825 million dollars (about 27.7 billion won) last year.
Kiwoom's cumulative posting fee can increase from at least $44,70,2015 (about 65.8 billion won) to up to $46,127,015 (about 67.9 billion won).
After news of Kim's contract with the Dodgers spread, Kiwoom said, "Congratulations on the 'Hyesung Express' Kim Hye-sung's advance to the Major League. Thank you for your passion for the Heroes from 2017 to 2024. It was always touching to see you do your best at every moment."
"Even though it is not an easy challenge, we are on a bigger stage that everyone dreams of through the process that shines as much as the result. I will always support Kim Hye-sung's new journey to raise the status of the KBO League beyond the Heroes," he added.
