The club released Trenton Brooks (31), who had been at the center of controversy over alleged intentional underperformance, and moved quickly to sign Keston Hiura (30), a third-generation Japanese American and former MLB first-round pick.<\/p>\n<p> Last-place Kiwoom pulled the trigger after Brooks\u2019 slump persisted. The team tried to spark him as a pinch hitter and designated hitter, but nothing worked. After overhauling the front office last season with a clear goal of escaping the cellar this year, Kiwoom placed Brooks on waivers on the 18th and signed Hiura to a 500,000 USD (approximately 666,666,667 KRW) deal (400,000 USD (approximately 533,333,333 KRW) salary, 100,000 USD (approximately 133,333,333 KRW) in options).<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2025-0118\/image-2fddb7cf-e8a7-4ffb-816e-16e1f3b170ac.jpeg\" alt=\"\ud0a4\uc6c0\uc774\" \uc0c8 \uc678\uad6d\uc778 \ud0c0\uc790 \ucf00\uc2a4\ud134 \ud788\uc6b0\ub77c\ub97c \uc601\uc785\ud588\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | \ud0a4\uc6c0 \ud788\uc5b4\ub85c\uc988 class=\"img_LSize\"> <br \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2025-0118\/image-67c67ec2-79a3-48a5-9ce3-f35b53534940.jpeg\" alt=\"\ud0a4\uc6c0\uc774\" \ud788\uc6b0\ub77c\uc640 \uc5f0\ubd09 40\ub9cc \ub2ec\ub7ec, \uc635\uc158 10\ub9cc \ub2ec\ub7ec \ub4f1 \ucd1d\uc561 50\ub9cc \ub2ec\ub7ec\uc5d0 \uacc4\uc57d\ud588\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | \ud0a4\uc6c0 \ud788\uc5b4\ub85c\uc988 class=\"img_LSize\"> <br \/> Kiwoom, which climbed as high as ninth earlier, still sits at the bottom of the standings. As of the 17th the team was 16-1-26, the only club among the 10 with a .300-level winning percentage, and its team batting average ranks last at .226. With a roster of relatively young, inexperienced players, Kiwoom leans heavily on veterans and foreign signings. Manager Seol Jong-jin assessed Brooks\u2019 struggles bluntly: \u201cHe swings a lot at high fastballs. The problem is he tries to hit bad pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> It\u2019s still early, but Kiwoom has a long road ahead. The loss of An Woo-jin was another setback, yet steady work from Ra\u00fal Alc\u00e1ntara and strong outings from arms like Bae Dong-hyun and Park Jun-hyun have stabilized the rotation. The clear priority is bolstering the offense. Kiwoom explained the Hiura pickup this way: \u201cHe creates hard contact with quick bat speed. Power is his biggest strength, and he can handle first and second base defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Hiura was a top prospect, taken ninth overall in the first round of the 2017 MLB Draft by Milwaukee. He spent years rated among the game\u2019s elite prospects and posted strong Triple-A numbers, but a high strikeout rate limited his success in the majors.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2025-0118\/image-1945f057-47de-493f-9487-0fad20bdd749.jpeg\" alt=\"\ud0a4\uc6c0\uc774\" \ud788\uc6b0\ub77c\uc640 \uc5f0\ubd09 40\ub9cc \ub2ec\ub7ec, \uc635\uc158 10\ub9cc \ub2ec\ub7ec \ub4f1 \ucd1d\uc561 50\ub9cc \ub2ec\ub7ec\uc5d0 \uacc4\uc57d\ud588\ub2e4. \uc0ac\uc9c4 | \ud0a4\uc6c0 \ud788\uc5b4\ub85c\uc988 class=\"img_LSize\"> <br \/> His MLB totals include 302 games, a .235 batting average, 231 hits, 50 home runs, 134 RBIs and a .756 OPS. Even in 2019\u2014after a promising debut season when expectations were high\u2014his strikeout rate was 30.7%. In 2020 he led the league in strikeouts, and in 2021 it climbed to 39.1%.<\/p>\n<p> While he never settled in the big leagues, Hiura was a consistent performer in the minors: across 560 games he hit .298 with 631 hits, 120 homers, 376 RBIs, 28 steals and a .924 OPS. He spent time with Detroit, the Los Angeles Angels and Colorado, and signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers in February. NPB clubs had shown interest before he elected to join Kiwoom.<\/p>\n<p> Hiura is due to arrive in Korea on the 20th. After completing administrative procedures, he will join the team, and all eyes will be on whether Kiwoom\u2019s midseason foreign-hitter swap pays off.
