It's no secret that South Korean outfielder Hyun Soo Kim has been struggling to adjust to major league pitching this spring. But Orioles manager Buck Showalter said after Wednesday's multihit performance against the Pittburgh Pirates that Kim looked more like the player he saw on video before signing him.
Showalter met with Kim on Tuesday night along with Kim's interpreter and former Korean major leaguer Hee Seop Choi, who has joined the Orioles as a guest coach in minor league camp this month.
"I talked to him a little yesterday when we got back," Showalter said Wednesday afternoon.
