"I think I can breathe now."

Will this expression come out when the blocked blood is pierced. You looked so relieved. The way he shook off the burden of weighing on his shoulders made him look forward to his future performance. It is about the new foreign hitter Patrick Wisdom of KIA.

Wisdom's bat finally blew fire. Wisdom had two hits and three RBIs against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 25th, including a two-run shot in the fourth inning and a timely RBI in the seventh inning.




Wisdom, who couldn't hit a single hit in the opening two consecutive games against the NC Dinos as the fourth. Instead, he kept his pride with snow baseball, which earned three walks.

KIA, which needed Kim Do-young's absence and on-base in the top batting order, advanced Wizdom against Kiwoom to No. 2. In addition, Kim Do-young's empty defensive position was also left to Wisdom.

The first hit in the KBO League was a home run. And defense was also a passing point. He caught a deep hit on the base that could be a hit and threw it to first base with strong shoulders. He was obviously a professional third baseman.




Wisdom conveyed his feelings after the game "I actually felt more pressure coming here than I felt elsewhere" without hiding how anxious he was while the hit wasn't coming out. Wisdom continued "After today, I think I can breathe a little," he said with a smile.

Wisdom said there were many at-bats that he watched unknowingly to adapt to new types of pitchers on an unfamiliar stage. He revealed the secret of his home run, saying, `So I was going to hit aggressively today.'

I also told you another interesting behind-the-scenes story. Wisdom advised rookie Park Jae-hyun to come and `hit well according to the timing' ahead of today's game. When I heard that, my eyes opened wide and I was able to hit a home run." Fortunately, the first home run commemorative ball fell on the left outfield KIA bullpen, and Kwak Do-gyu reportedly picked it up and delivered it to Wisdom.




As for Korean pitchers, there are quite a few pitches. It's very interesting to face Korean pitchers. I'm trying to take these parts into consideration and go to the batter's box."

As for the defense, "I think I played third base defense for the first time in almost three months, but I feel good because I think I did a pretty good job myself."

Wisdom is adjusting to life in Gwangju with his family. The most delicious food was the Korean beef restaurant taken by Na Sung-beom and the pork ribs restaurant that went with other colleagues. The most impressive food was live octopus. Wisdom is not delicious, but it was like a jaw-dropping dish," he said.
