Body of Liberty The 2025 season without worrying about changing foreign batters that the strongest duo of all time have faced?

Can Socrates and Dawson see next year.

When you play a season, you encounter numerous variables. The injuries and sluggishness of foreign players are representative. If something goes wrong with foreign players, who make up a large part of their power, the entire season may be twisted.

Pitchers can at least find alternative resources during the season. The grass is quite wide. But typing is different. Picking a customized replacement player during the season is 'picking the stars in the sky'. Pitchers say it's okay because they can survive any league if they throw hard, but hitters come in during the season and are not easy to adapt. This is even more so for players who are new to the KBO League. Most of the players are unable to cope with Asian baseball's persistent breaking ball games.

Therefore, if there are experienced people in the alternative market, the teams' eyes will inevitably be on that side. I think each team can ease their worries a little next year. This is because there are two great alternative resources.

First, Socrates, a former Kia Tigers player, left a strong impression while playing for the Kia Tigers for three seasons. This year, he also contributed to the overall championship of KIA. There is a 'Gojil' that he/she survives from the middle after hitting the porridge at the beginning of the season, but anyway, he/she is a batter who can expect 25 home runs in 30%.

It's because all the attention has been on Socrates recently, but there's another secret weapon. It is Dawson from Kiwoom Heroes. Before suffering a knee injury this season, Dawson had a batting average of 3311 homers, 57 RBIs, and 69 runs in 95 games, showing off his `strongest cost-effectiveness.' Despite being paid only half the price of other players, he performed tremendously as the league's best second hitter.

Socrates will definitely take on a new challenge in other leagues, but in reality, there is no better place than Korea in a situation where he cannot go to the Major League or Japan. When a call from the KBO club comes, the mind will inevitably be shaken.

He is a player who will be loved by any team because of not only his skills but also his fan service. If it wasn't for the injury, he would complete the game at Kiwoom and the probability of renewing the contract was also very high. However, he was not chosen because he could not play until early next year due to knee surgery.

If Dawson builds up healthy in the first half of the year, there is a very high probability of receiving love calls from teams that are in urgent need of replacing foreign batters.

In both cases, KIA and Kiwoom did not use the right to hold. You can freely contact any team in the KBO League.
