Family came before team. But not until 'I' took precedence over the team.

SSG Landers foreign hitter Herredia joined the team shortly after maternity leave. SSG tried to give Eredia a little time to adjust, but he immediately claimed to play.

Heredia will start as the second batter and left fielder against the Lotte Giants in the 2025 KBO League at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 13th. SSG coach Lee Soo-yong thanked "I was excluded from the original selection, but he said he was playing."




Herredia left for the United States after the match against LG in Jamsil on the 7th. This is to see the third birth.

SSG's every day was a war for third place. Herredia is the best hitter in the team. If Eredia falls out, the power loss is enormous.. Herredia has been confirmed to miss at least three games.

It may be a shame, but it's not something to blame. The KBO League strictly protects the rights of players by operating a condolence leave system.




What SSG is grateful for Herredia is that she showed a sense of responsibility right after returning home. It was a situation where you could ask for rest as much as you want on the pretext of jet lag or fatigue.

Herredia returned to Korea on the 12th. I immediately stopped by the accommodation, packed my luggage, and moved to Busan. By the time Herredia arrived at the Busan expedition accommodation, it was already past midnight.

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `I tried to let him rest because I thought he would be tired. After the interview, he expressed his willingness to run again. So we adjusted the starting lineup" he said.




SSG recorded a batting average of 340 OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.894 in 83 games this season. His batting average in 10 games before the vacation was as high as 381.

SSG played only two games without Herredia as the match against Changwon NC was canceled in rain on the 9th. He did well with one win and one loss.
