"Thank you all.
Socrates Brito (32), who left the KIA Tigers, conveyed his feelings of separation to fans.
Socrates left a message on his SNS on the 27th with a video of his performance this season.
Socrates said, "Thank you to the KIA team for allowing me to be a part of the team for three years, and thank you for taking care of my family," adding, "I'm grateful to my teammates for always supporting me and treating me like a family, and to the coaches for allowing me to become a better player. And I'm really grateful to the fans for their unwavering love for me. I will put all of you in the back of my heart."
"I am so happy that the fruits of this season's hard work have led to the victory. This feeling will be remembered forever," he said. "Trust, gratitude, and joy. This is how we end this moment," he said. "After finishing one cycle, I am going to take on a new challenge with confidence that I did a good job. Thank you everyone."
Socrates' writing was written in English, but at the end, he showed his affection for Korea by leaving the word "Teshyeong" in Korean.
Socrates entered the KBO League by signing a contract with Kia in 2022. Socrates, who renewed his contract with a batting average of 311, 17 homers, 77 RBIs and 12 steals in 127 games in his first year, recorded an OPS (long-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.848 and posted a batting average of 285, 20 homers and 96 RBIs in 142 games last year, his second year.
He posted home runs and RBIs, but critics said he was nervous as his batting average declined. Kia and Socrates, however, were accompanied by an additional year. The results were successful. Socrates led Kia to an overall championship in seven years by posting a batting average of 312 home runs, 97 RBIs and an OPS of 0.875 in 140 games this season.
Besides his outstanding performance, he was also loved as an addictive cheerleader. With the entry of Edwin Diaz, the closing pitcher of the New York Mets, fans cheered for him by shouting "Socrates" while drawing 'ㅅ' with their hands.
Socrates was loved by many people, but the world of professionalism was cool-headed. The team ended its journey with Kia for three years. Kia recruited Patrick Wisdom as a new foreign hitter after the end of this season.
Wisdom has recorded 20 home runs for three consecutive seasons since 2021. He played in 455 games with a batting average of 299, 88 home runs and 207 RBIs, and in 439 games with the Minor League, he had a batting average of 253, 89 RBIs, 277 RBIs and 248 runs scored.
In this season, he played in 75 games for the Chicago Cubs and hit eight home runs. 스포츠토토
Socrates also has the ability to do his part in the KBO league, but KIA, which is aiming for the "dynasties," needed a stronger shot.
"In addition to his long hitting ability, he has above-average baserunning speed and good throwing ability," Kia said. "Wizdom can defend first, third and outfield, and is highly useful not only in offense but also in defense. He will also play an important role in boosting the team's slugging ability in the central batting line."
