"It's an unforgettable memory for the rest of my life."

SSG Landers finally made a decision. Broke up with the alternate foreign player Ryan McBroom. McBroom, who joined Guillermo Herredia as an injury replacement, said goodbye to the squad at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 23rd. He was expected to be a right-handed slugger needed for SSG, and his start was not bad, hitting his first home run in three games. In addition, in the three consecutive games against the KIA Tigers on the 10th and 11th, he hit six hits in three games, showing that he seems to be fully adapted to the KBO league.

But after that, the hit disappeared. McBroom has been silent since May 13 against the Incheon NC Dinos with no hits in 22 at-bats in the last seven games. He struck out 11 times in that period.

In the end, McBroom, who was excluded from the starting lineup from the game on the 21st, was excluded from the first-team entry on the 23rd. SSG also needs a seat in the entry as veteran catcher Lee Ji-young recovered from a hamstring injury. The club decided to break up early with McBroom, who had a bad batting feeling, and set up a three-man catcher system.

Ahead of the home game against the Incheon LG Twins on the 23rd, McBroom and the SSG squad said goodbye. The entire team came to the ground in person and encouraged him warmly, and gave him a bat (fielder) and a helmet (pitcher) with everyone's signatures. He also hugged his former players, including captain Kim Kwang-hyun, and said goodbye.

McBroom said "It was a short time, but I really appreciated you for being warm as a teammate and as a family. It was an unforgettable and precious experience, and I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life. I will continue to watch and support you. Thank you and I love you."

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `It's heartbreaking. "I was looking for a way to maximize my team's power, but I made the decision like that."I haven't had a hit in recent years. There was also a thought whether it was right to wait. As our injured players return, the entry is set, and (new) criminal is doing well. Even (Chae) Hyun-woo is doing well, but I decided that it would be better to use our players more in many ways."

He has a little bit more than a week left on his six-week contract with McBroom, but has opted for a faster break-up.

Herredia's return is now imminent. Heredia, who is currently starting actual training in Incheon, is scheduled to return to the first team in early June after boosting her sense of play in the Futures League next week.
