I'm sleepy because I can't even adjust to the time difference, but what's the result of my KBO debut in the afternoon of the morning and second-tier game? A day I'll never forget.

Was there really a baseball player in the world who had a day like this.
SSG Landers' new family McBroom has completed a successful debut.
McBroom made a strong impression by making his first appearance as a third-designated hitter against the Kiwoom Heroes at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th and hitting a timely RBI in the first inning.
The rest of the at-bats are strikeouts, left-handed flyouts. But why was it successful.
McBroom was hired as a short-term replacement for Eredia, who is expected to leave for a long time in the aftermath of a boil injury. He announced his recruitment on the 20th and entered the country on the 21st. And I had a busy time until the medical test and visa issuance.
He played his first game on Saturday. He played in the Futures League game against the Goyang Heroes in the morning and played two at-bats. One hit and one strikeout.
Surprisingly, I moved to Incheon right after this game. He was immediately registered in the first team. It was his determination to play in the game. There are quite a few players who played in the second-tier game and went straight to the first-tier game due to the news of the call-up. However, it is surprising that a foreign player who has not been in Korea for less than a week, and a player who is making his KBO League debut for the first time, had such a dynamic day.
It is great that he hit his first at-bat in a situation where he did not even know what teams were in the KBO League, what players were and what the stadium looked like.
McBroom said after the game, "It was so much fun. It was just one game, but it was interesting because it was my first time experiencing baseball. Baseball is the same everywhere, but the atmosphere was different. It was impressive", he expressed his feelings. As for K-cheering "It was so cool. It was a cheering culture not felt in the U.S. and Japan. It was much more impressive than I heard before I came to Korea," he stressed.
When McBroom said his expectations for his debut hit had grown, he said, `High expectations for me are always good.' The team staff took care of the first hit commemorative ball. I'm going to cherish it as a memory, too" he said.
I haven't even adjusted to the time difference yet. It's easy to play in an unfamiliar place. McBroom is "sleepy." Time will solve the problem of jet lag. I want to get used to it and show you a good side of me"It was a day I will never forget. I think I'll be able to sleep soundly today."
