"I'm glad I helped break the team's losing streak. I want to continue to do my best in my position."

The Kia Tigers, led by head coach Lee Bum-ho, beat the Hanwha Eagles by Kim Kyung-moon 5-3 in an away game of the 2025 professional baseball KBO League held at Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon on Sunday. Kia, which ended its four-game losing streak, posted three wins and five losses.
Wizdom's performance as the second batter and first baseman was remarkable. He showed off his good batting sense and took the lead in KIA's victory.
With a fly to the left field in the top of the first inning and a strikeout in the top of the third inning, Wisdom turned around fiercely in the top of the sixth inning when KIA was trailing 1-2. As the leadoff hitter, he targeted the opponent team's starting pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin's two-ball, 134 km cutter to draw a solo arch to the left with a driving distance of 125 meters. Wisdom's fourth shot of the season.
In addition, Wisdom has garnered home runs in three consecutive games. Previously, he used cannons in all games against Hanwha in Daejeon from Friday to Sunday.
Wisdom also had a hit and an RBI in the top of the seventh inning. With Kia leading 4-2, it hit a 129-km changeup on the first pitch by left-handed bullpen Jo Dong-wook, making a timely hit to left. As such, Wisdom's performance on the day remained as two hits, one homer and two RBIs from four times at bat.

After the game, manager Lee Bum-ho gave a thumbs-up, saying, "Wizdom, who continues to show good performance, led the attack by hitting a tiebreaking home run and additional timely hits in today's game."
"Rather than the fact that I hit home runs in three consecutive games, I'm glad that I helped my team break its losing streak," Wisdom said with a bright smile. "All the players did their part in their respective positions. I'm looking forward to the next game because I feel like they're back in shape."
"I hope today's victory will serve as an opportunity to change the atmosphere," he said, adding, "We will prepare well for the home game next week."
Wisdom, a utuuta utility resource, was called by the st. Louis Cardinals as the 52nd overall first round draft in 2012. He then passed through the Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs, and posted a batting average of 0.209 with 88 home runs and 207 RBIs (on-base plus slugging) of 0.750 in 455 MLB games.
Jang is by far a powerful slugger. He played in 106 games in the big league in 2021 when he was wearing the Cubs uniform, and had a batting average of only 0.231, but sent 28 hits out of the fence. He also had 25 and 23 home runs in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Wizdom then joined hands with KIA ahead of this season. He remained silent in the first two games due to no hit, but gradually rebounded, and recently, he has been leading the KIA lineup by firing home runs every day. The goal is to promote Kia.
Wisdom said, "I am happy to play with talented players. I want to do my best in the position I play for better team performance."
