Guillermo Heredia has continued his excellent start at the plate and contributed this Friday to his team SSG Landers’ 17-2 victory over the Lotte Giants in the KBO, South Korea’s professional baseball league. The contest took place at Sajik Baseball Stadium and the outfielder once again saw action batting second and playing left field for the victors. He went 2-for-5 on this occasion, recording a run scored, a home run, and two RBIs.
For the SSG Landers, this marked their first road game of the 2026 season; however, this placed no pressure on them whatsoever—so much so that they scored runs in each of the first six innings, quickly tilting the matchup in their favor. In this game—just as in previous instances—Heredia began with an unsuccessful at-bat in the opening inning, this time hitting a fly ball to right field.
He stepped up to the plate again in the very next inning—an occasion on which he grounded into a double play. His breakout moment arrived in the fourth inning, when he pounced on a pitch from Dominican hurler Elvin Rodríguez and launched the ball 410 feet over the left-field fence. In the fifth inning, the veteran of the Cuban squad at the 2013 World Baseball Classic made his mark on the scoreboard once again—this time with a line drive to left field that drove in runner Park Seong-han from second base.
In the sixth inning, Heredia was retired on a fly ball to right field. That marked the end of the offensive action for the native of Matanzas, Cuba and was subsequently replaced on defense in the seventh inning by Chae Hyun-woo. Including this game, the
Cuban slugger has put together an outstanding start to the season, batting .333 (9-for-27) with at least one hit in each of the six games played so far. He has also scored five runs, swatted three home runs, walk once, and struck out five times . Most notably, he boasts a total of 10 RBIs—a figure that represents 18.5% of the 54 RBIs he recorded throughout the entire 2025 season, a year in which physical ailments limited him to seeing action in just 96 of the 144 games on the regular-season schedule.
