KIA Tigers coach Lee Bum-ho expressed strong trust in foreign hitter Patrick Wisdom.

Wisdom has recently been underwhelmed with a 'replacement theory'. He dismissed rumors by swinging the bat of three consecutive games in Daegu during the week.

Manager Lee Bum-ho continued to do well ahead of the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears match in Jamsil on the 15th. Defending as well. It would have been very difficult for us if it weren't for Wizdom as (Kim) Do-young got hurt. Wisdom took turns at first and third bases and did well enoughhighly commended '




KIA originally brought Wisdom to first base. Wisdom also worked as a third baseman as Kim Do-young was injured.

Wisdom raised its on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of the season to 0.900 by hitting six hits and two home runs in two days on the 13th and 14th.

Manager Lee Bum-ho said "There were a lot of fouls, but those balls disappeared a little bit. I think I tried a lot to make the ball that comes into the strike zone into an in-play ball. He is a very sincere and hardworking player."




Coach Lee Bum-ho drew a line in the speculation that Wisdom might have been psychologically contracted due to rumors of a replacement.

Coach Lee Bum-ho never said "I'm not going to Wizdom." There was nothing psychologically disturbing. I don't think I had anything to worry about because of my future, but instead, I didn't get the chance, so I might have felt pressure to hit it at the chance. "

Coach Lee Bum-ho positively predicted that Wisdom will be able to continue to play the rest of the season.




Manager Lee Bum-ho said, `I think I've stabilized myself because I played well in Daegu. If the ball hits, he is a player who has a lot of long balls. If we put a little more weight on getting it right, I think we can finish the rest of the season well with a good performance."

Wisdom hit .255 with 372 at-bats/0.344 with a slugging percentage of .556 with 26 homers and 64 RBIs in 87 games. At this rate, you can look at up to 35 home runs.
