Due to Kim Do-young's injury, Wisdom has begun training for third base defense alongside Yoon Do-hyun.
KIA Tigers' key player Kim Do-young suffered a left hamstring injury while running the bases during the opening game against NC Dinos on the 22nd.
The examination revealed a first-degree hamstring injury, and fortunately, it was confirmed that it is not a serious injury. The KIA club noted, "All three hospitals agreed. The injury condition is not as serious as we feared," and added, "We will have a re-examination in two weeks to determine the exact return time."
On the 23rd, the day after the injury, the team began training, and Wisdom, a foreign hitter with experience in third base defense in the U.S., was seen starting third base defense training.
Manager Lee Bum-ho prioritized using Yoon Do-hyun as the third baseman to replace Kim Do-young. Along with this, various alternatives are being considered. The manager explained, "Whether in defense or offense, we will give them experience. I hope Do-hyun shows his potential. If he performs well, we will proceed with him as the third baseman, but we are considering other options as well. Wisdom also played third base in the U.S., and I asked Byeon Woo-hyuk to train at third base in the second team."
