Kia Tigers foreign hitter Patrick Wisdom broke his silence in eight games and hit a big home run.

Wisdom hit a home run in the bottom of the second inning against SSG Landers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 13th. At the bottom of the second inning when it was 0-0, KIA's leadoff hitter Choi Hyung-woo hit a hit to center field and got on base, and faced SSG right-hander Moon Seung-won with no outs and a chance to first base.

Moon Seung-won chose to play three consecutive sliders against Wisdom. Wisdom hit a large home run that flew to the left fence as soon as he hit it, as if he was waiting for a slider coming in the middle of the third pitch in 1B1S after swinging two pitches.




Based on the Hawkeye, the batting speed reaches 173.4km, the launch angle is 32.6 degrees, and the distance is 125m home run. This home run gave KIA an early 2-2 lead.

Wisdom, who has a career of 88 home runs in the major leagues, has been silent without a home run in the last seven games. KIA also laughed first in a long time as it reported its sixth home run of the season in eight games at a time when its batting average for the season was down to 235. Wisdom has overtaken Park Byung-ho (Samsung) and Austin Dean (LG) to become the sole leader in home runs in the league. Of the 13 hits this season, six homers are almost half.
