His bat was still alive. Socrates Brito, who is considered the most likely candidate for a foreign hitter, had three hits including a home run in the opening game of the Mexican League.
Socrates is participating in the Mexican League as a member of El Aguilar de Veracruz. The opening game was held with Pericos de Puebla on the 19th (Korea time), where he started in left field as the third batter and hit a home run in his first at-bat. The opposing pitcher was Angel Sanchez. Sanchez is a KBO league veteran who played for the SK Wyverns in 2018 and 2019. After that, he joined Puebla in 2024 after playing for the Yomiuri Giants.
Socrates hit his first home run in the Mexican league in 2025. It was just the beginning. Socrates was named the MVP of the game, recording three hits in four times at bat in the opening game. The game ended with a 9-2 complete victory for Veracruz.
Mexican media outlet Imachen de Veracruz reported, "On Friday night, the opening match was held at Beto Avila Park in his home stadium, which was reminiscent of Carnival. It was a festive night for the citizens of Buenos Aires. Citizens enjoyed the heat of the opening ceremony, and as the game began, Socrates hit a home run over the left fence. It was his first home run of the season on his home field."
Socrates was offered by a Taiwanese professional baseball team ahead of this season, but chose to go to Mexico. He held Veracruz's hand, not the Weiquan Dragons. Some say the decision is a paving the way for him to return to the KBO League. As Taiwanese clubs began to keep foreign players on salary contracts, it became difficult to transfer to the KBO League during the season. The Mexican League has relatively more freedom of movement of players. 바카라
Socrates' former team, the KIA Tigers, did not put him on the list of withheld. If other KBO league teams that want Socrates appear, they can come back to Korea as much as they want. So, it is expected that Socrates is the first candidate for alternative foreign batters. It is because he played for three years, so he does not need time to adapt separately, and his career has been verified.
Socrates had a batting average of 0.302, an OPS of 0.843, and 63 home runs and 270 RBIs in the KBO League for three years from 2022 to last year. He guaranteed both double-digit homers and double-digit stolen bases. However, Kia chose to say goodbye to Socrates after successfully recruiting Patrick Wisdom, an "active major leaguer." Wisdom is performing well in Kia's expectations with a batting average of 0.254, an OPS of 1.034 and eight home runs and 14 RBIs in 21 games until the 18th.
