KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho explained why he replaced foreign hitter Wisdom with a reprimand.

Manager Lee Bum-ho reflected on Wizdom's defensive errors in the previous day's game before the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears match at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 30th.

Wisdom, who started as third baseman, made a throwing error in the top of the third inning during the run-down defense. KIA lost its victory in the beginning as it led to a run. KIA chased after him late, but eventually lost 6-9. He has lost seven straight games.




Wisdom drove third baseman Jung Soo-bin home. He made a motion to throw the ball to catcher Han Jun-su, but he didn't throw it. Han Jun-su also narrowed the distance toward third base and the groove was empty. Witty runner Jung Soo-bin quickly dug into the groove.

Wisdom was immediately replaced by Byun Woo-hyuk.

Director Lee Bum-ho said, `I didn't talk about it myself. The coaching staff did. I think it's natural for anyone to take it out when such a situation comes out.'




The more difficult the team is, the more concentrated and responsible it should be.

Director Lee Bum-ho said, `We are losing consecutive games. Knowing this, I think we should focus more on breaking the losing streak. You shouldn't have such a bonehead play. So I made a firm decision" he said.

Wisdom failed to make the promised play in the first place. Wisdom is actually more familiar with first base. Coach Lee Bum-ho explains that Wisdom should have handled the runner himself if he had done a trick.

Director Lee Bum-ho said, `The problem is that Ah-gun also lied. He is a doctor who will catch the runner if he fakes like that. This is the part that was checked while practicing. Wizdum trained more at first base than at third base, so I think that kind of play came out. In the promised play situation, it is the smartest judgment to move according to the promise.

Wisdom returned to the lineup as the first batter and first baseman of the game on the 30th. I went back to first base, but this is my first leadoff since I came to the KBO League.

Manager Lee Bum-ho said, `I thought it would be psychologically convenient to do it when there is no runner rather than a chance situation. We need to find a breakthrough. Wisdom is a batter who can hit a home run, so I think it would be good to let him go in at least one more at-bat."
