Patrick Wisdom, a foreign hitter at Kia who has been undergoing rehabilitation for three weeks due to a back injury, is finally at the plate. Will Wisdom be able to provide cider to the KIA Tigers who have eaten a lot of sweet potatoes.
An official from the KIA Tigers in professional baseball told reporters in Game 7 of the season against the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 30th, "Wizdom started as the 3rd designated hitter in the exchange match against the Softbank Hawks in Gwangju today."토토사이트
Wizdom, who became KIA's new foreign hitter for a total of $1 million (1.4 billion won), was canceled on the 13th due to back injuries, leaving a batting average of 249 home runs, 26 RBIs, 25 runs and OPS.898 in 35 games this season. At the time, manager Lee Bum-ho expected Wizdom to return 10 days later, but as the injury was prolonged than expected, the first real game of the Futures League was completed on the 30th, 17 days after the expiration.
Wisdom started the game as the third designated hitter against the third team of the Japanese pro baseball Softbank, and had no hit and no walk in two times at bat. Following his first strikeout at bat, he posted a fly ball to center field and a walk, before being replaced by Ko Jong-wook.
Wisdom is expected to play the Futures League until the 31st, and then the exact first-team registration date will come out. The game on the 31st is also expected to make a comeback against Suwon KT on June 1 if there is no back problem.
KIA is barely maintaining its middle position with gum baseball, with main fielders such as Wisdom, Kim Do-young, Na Sung-bum and Kim Sun-bin suffering from string injuries. The batting line got cold in the match against the Kiwoom Heroes in Gwangju (3-3 draw) on the 29th and the match against KT in Suwon (1-3 loss) on the 30th, but manager Lee Bum-ho said, "The score is not good because the main players are missing. Young players are stepping up, but when it's important to gain experience, they can hit like Choi Hyung-woo. The experienced batter is certainly in the advantage."
Among the injured, the foreign hitter who needs to hit a hard time is the first one to come back. Will Wizdom become a savior of Kia in need after hitting 88 home runs in the Major League? "There is a big difference between having and without foreign hitters. Foreign hitters can make opposing pitchers nervous just by their existence," coach Lee Bum-ho said, expressing high expectations on Wizdom's return.
