Three days before the change of foreigner. The survival of KIA Tigers Patrick Wisdom, who was rumored to be replaced, is certain.

Asked about Wisdom's future ahead of the Samsung match held at Lions Park in Daegu on the 12th, head coach Lee Bum-ho said, `It was not in the newspaper," he asked back.

It means to carry it as it is.




Kim Do-young, who left due to a third hamstring injury, affected his stay.

Wisdom, who returned to the first base in time for Kim Do-young's return, is looking at the third base again when Kim Do-young is out. The first baseman is in charge of Oh Sun-woo, a rising powerhouse.

It is not easy to find a foreign hitter at third base in a hurry in the market. In the end, it's Wisdom's turn to show.




But there is no sign yet of bursting.

Rather, the slump is likely to drag on. Opposing pitchers look like pushovers and come to the game. His pride will be hurt as the second batter (24 home runs) after Samsung Diaz. He even shows his impatience.

Wisdom played as No. 5 third baseman behind No. 4 Choi Hyung-woo in the match against Samsung in Daegu on the 12th. There were humiliating moments.

He has gradually avoided Choi Hyung-woo and challenged Wisdom.

Samsung's Lee Seung-hyun and Kang Min-ho battery sent Choi Hyung-woo to a full count of eight pitches in the top of the second inning with two outs and second base to take a 4-0 lead. As a result of consciously playing a deep game against Choi Hyung-woo, who persistently fouled out, saying that it is okay to filter out because the first base is empty. Wisdom, who appeared with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, couldn't stand the change of the manned ball and struck out swinging.

In the top of the fourth inning with a 5-0 lead, Yang Chang-seop and Kang Min-ho's battery actually sent Choi Hyung-woo to four pitches on purpose to fill the first base. Judging that it is easy to compete with the follow-up hitter Wisdom. Foreign hitters who can hit home runs will hurt their pride. An anxious Wisdom pulled a 117km first-pitch curve and grounded out in front of the third baseman. It proved once again that Samsung's battery was right.

Wisdom was silent with no hits in four at-bats on the day. He has been in a slump with a batting average of 0.167 in the last 10 games and two homers and four RBIs.

Even if the ball hits the bat, it is hard to hit the ball. It means that the timing is late while watching the ball carefully or the moment the contact is made, the strength goes in.

Coach Lee Bum-ho is calling for an active hit as a solution.

The game between KIA and Lotte was held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 6th. KIA first baseman Wisdom is unable to catch Lotte Yoo Kang-nam's fly ball in the bottom of the sixth inning. The umpires declared a foul, but the video review showed that the ball hit Wisdom's glove and was overturned into a pair. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.08.06/
Manager Lee said, `He's a careful player, but I think he can change it aggressively"After two strikes, pitchers throw difficult balls, so I think we can do enough to create a situation where we can hit count balls aggressively." "If you try to hit aggressively like that, there are situations in which you endure the changing balls as well," he said. "I think you have to prepare to hit like that to get more good pitches. If you're watching, nothing will be done, so you have to go out aggressively and strike to get an in-field hit. If you keep trying to play more aggressively, I think it will be advantageous because pitchers often have unfavorable counts", he explained.

A foreign hitter in crisis who is unable to find a normal track between prudence and impatience. The die is cast.

Only when Wisdom survives, Choi Hyung-woo will also have an active match. It is an important variable for the overall firepower of the KIA lineup.
