KIA Tigers foreign hitter Patrick Wisdom reached the 30th home run mark of the season.

Wisdom played against the LG Twins in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' held at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 24th. In the bottom of the third inning with two outs and no runners, he hit a solo shot to the left to give him a 1-0 lead.

Wisdom was nine behind Lewin Diaz (Samsung Lions), who ranked first in the category, as he achieved his 30th home run of the season. Wisdom became the first KIA foreign hitter in five years since Preston Tucker (32 home runs) in 2020.




Anders Tolhurst, a foreign pitcher recruited by LG on the 3rd, left a strong impression by scoring 13 scoreless innings in the previous two games. Tolhurst also allowed no runs until the second inning against KIA, continuing his scoreless streak of 15 consecutive innings, allowing Wisdom a home run, marking his first run in the KBO League. Wisdom did not miss the 152km/h coming to the high course in the middle at the ball count 2B2S.
