Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson’s journey to the team’s season-opening trip to South Korea was a testament to his resilience and determination. After two injury-plagued seasons, the 37-year-old right-hander overcame doubts about his availability for opening day with a strong showing in spring camp.
Hudson, who missed significant time due to knee injuries, impressed the Dodgers with his improved performance in bullpen sessions and live batting practices. His return to form was a welcome sight for a team that had shown faith in him despite his setbacks.
With his spot on the opening day roster secured, Hudson expressed gratitude for the Dodgers’ support during his recovery. He was eager to make his mark on the team once again and fulfill some “unfinished Business” after being sidelined for so long.
The Dodgers’ exhibition game against the Kiwoom Heroes provided a preview of what Hudson could bring to the bullpen this season. While facing the two-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, former MLB pitcher Ariel Jurado showcased his ability to stifle the star hitter, adding another layer of intrigue to the matchup.
For the Heroes players, the opportunity to play against the Dodgers was a special moment, with third baseman Sung Mun Song describing it as a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience. The energetic atmosphere at the Gocheok Sky Dome added to the excitement of the game, setting the stage for the upcoming matchups between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.
As Hudson and the Dodgers look ahead to their season-opening games in Seoul, the veteran pitcher is determined to show that he is ready to contribute to the team’s success. With his resilience and perseverance, Hudson is poised to make a significant impact as he embarks on the next chapter of his storied career.
