"I actually changed the bat."

Patrick Wisdom (34), a foreign hitter of the KIA Tigers, is the lone homerun leader in the 2025 KBO League through Sunday. He hit seven homeruns, producing two more homeruns than Park Byung-ho of the Samsung Lions and Austin Dean of the LG Twins (five homeruns) who are tied for second place.
Wisdom had a batting average of 0.268, seven homers, 13 RBIs and 16 runs scored in 17 games this year. Although his performance has not been very good in terms of accuracy, he has proved himself as a "big leaguer" when it comes to slugging power. Wisdom's slugging percentage is 0.661, which is also No. 1 in the league. 먹튀검증

Wisdom hit home runs in four consecutive games from the Daejeon Hanwha Eagles match on the 28th of last month to the Gwangju Samsung match on the 2nd. After seven games of silence, he hit multiple home runs in the game against the Gwangju SSG Landers on the 13th, eight games later, and tasted it again.

"If you get caught, you'll fall for it" is a summary of Wisdom's KBO League performance this year. The key is "If you get caught," but since his batting average is not high, he rarely showed a cool batting performance in the seven games he failed to hit a home run earlier.

To make up for these weaknesses, Wisdom is looking for several ways on its own. One of them is bat replacement. Wisdom has been using its newly purchased bat since Tuesday's game. The "Nove" at the bottom of the bat came out with a particularly thick one. Coincidentally, he hit two home runs in his first game with the bat he replaced.

"I actually changed the bat. I don't know how they explain it in Korea, but in the U.S., they call it the 'Hockey Puck'. It's a bat with a thick bottom, and I tried it again in this game. I feel very good because the result turned out good," Wisdom said on Sunday.

Wisdom continued, "I wanted to take the batting timing a little faster, but now this bat is helping me set the (swinging) path. That's why I changed the bat."

Wisdom was also aware that other teams were analyzing him thoroughly. He said, "Pitchers definitely throw a lot of outside balls. But I think the first thing to do is to focus on what I have to do rather than pay attention to those things. I'm trying to create my own strike zone and swing only the balls that come into it."

Wisdom was confident that he would be able to sufficiently play the outfield defense that coach Lee Bum-ho is struggling with. Wisdom said, "I played in all three outings. "I have all my gloves. I brought my gloves, first base, third base, and outfield," he said with a smile.
