Socrates, who was interviewed for the first time in a long time, looked bright. He hit a pleasant finishing hit that determined his team's six-game winning streak.
Even on weekdays, 12,693 fans visited the site and enjoyed six consecutive wins. Kim Tae-gun and Kim Do-young's home runs drew the beacon of pursuit, and Socrates' shot in the bottom of the eighth inning decided the game.
The KIA Tigers won 6-4 against the Lotte Giants at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd, winning six consecutive games. He exuded an outspoken leading presence.
Lotte's pitcher in the bottom of the eighth inning is veteran Kim Sang-soo. Park Chan-ho and Kim Sun-bin hit consecutive hits, and Kim Do-young loaded the bases with a walk of nearly four pitches. What did Shocrates think.
"Kim Sang-soo is a tricky pitcher. But I've dealt with him a lot over the past three years. I was only aiming for a real pitch, and thanks to that, I made a good hit."
Socrates says Lotte chose him after skipping Kim Do-young "It's my time! It occurred to me that. I wanted to show it to you," he said with a big smile.
Giant phobia was washed away by heavy rain. Rather, he gave Lotte a come-from-behind loss in the bottom of the eighth inning for two consecutive days, deeply engraved 'Tiger Trauma'.

'Socrates of summer' is now a proper noun. At the beginning of the season every year, they seem to wander slightly, but in summer, they wield a fire bat as hot as the weather. After overcoming the slump at the beginning of the season this year, he has a batting average of 340, 23 home runs and 81 RBIs, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.877.
Socrates "Unlike last year, he is in great shape this year. I'm getting a lot of help thanks to the careful care of my trainers. We want to keep in good shape in the future." He also said he would show his determination to maintain it from now on as he overcame the ups and downs at the beginning of the season and found his own cycle.
It is his first attempt to win the title since joining Kia.
"I came to KIA to win." Now I'm going to work towards the championship ring. My season is here. This is going to be the best year of my life."
