Alternative foreign hitter Ryan McBroom (33, SSG Landers) had a hectic "day."
McBroom played two games in one day on the 25th. After playing two at-bats in the Futures League in the afternoon, he immediately registered in the first division entry and made his KBO League debut against the Kiwoom Heroes in the evening. The result was one hit and one RBI from four times at bat. He left a strong impression with a timely hit to the right at the first and second bases with no outs in the bottom of the first inning when the score was 0-0.토토사이트
McBroom said, "It was so much fun. I just played a game, but it was interesting because it was my first time experiencing it. Baseball is the same everywhere, but the atmosphere was different. It was impressive." He added, "I am adjusting to the time difference. I am a little sleepy, but I think time will solve the problem. I want to adapt quickly and show good performance."
McBroom, who has experienced both the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Japanese Professional Baseball (NPB), was recruited on the 20th as a substitute for Guillermo Herredia, who left due to a calf injury (sudden). A right-handed slugger with a solid physique (1m90cm 99kg) can play first base and right field. "At this point, it is not easy to recruit foreign players through a short-term contract rather than a one-year contract," SSG General Manager Kim Jae-hyun said when the contract was announced. "We judged McBroom (a power hitter who has already played in the Asian League) to be the best player under the current circumstances. He is a proven player."
McBroom showed promise in his debut game in the KBO League. Although he left the batter's box with strikeouts, he actively swung the bat. "High expectations (for me) are always good," he said. "The Korean cheering squad was so cool. It was a culture that I had never seen before in the U.S. and Japan. It was much more impressive than what I heard before coming to Korea." "It was an unforgettable day in my life. I think I will be able to sleep soundly today," SSG coach Lee Sung-yong said, welcoming him, "From the perspective of the swing mechanism, I think it will be of great help (to the batting line) as well as the power."
