Does LG also give up 153km Ko Woo-seok and Jungnyeong not work...ERA 9.00. It's hard
고우석.



Last challenge for a dream. It's really not easy. Ko Woo-seok (Detroit Tigers) was hit hard in the minor league Triple-A game.

Ko Woo-suk, a member of the Detroit Triple-A team Toledo Mud Hens, took the mound as the third pitcher in the game against the Columbus Clippers, a Triple-A team under the Cleveland Guardians, on the 3rd (Korea time) and allowed only four hits (one homer) with no four strikeouts and three runs in two innings. Mud Hens were thrashed 0-13.

Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the top of the seventh inning, trailing 0-10. a losing situation. It was important to quickly delete the inning.




However, Ko Woo-seok was on the verge of loading the bases with no outs, allowing three consecutive hits. Christian Cairo hit an RBI grounder to shortstop to make it 0-11, and Milan Tolentino hit a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 0-12. Ko Woo-seok ended the inning by striking out Chase DeLouter with a swing and miss with two outs and a runner on the first base. The crystal ball was a splitter.

Ko Woo-suk also took the mound in the top of the eighth inning. He hit a left-center home run by Jokensh Noel while holding two out-counts well. I threw a slider towards Noel's body, a right-handed batter, at the ball count of 1B0S, and it got stuck in the bat properly. The batting speed reached 110.3 miles (about 177.5 kilometers) and it was a large home run with a distance of 447 feet (about 136 meters). It was a home run that sealed the 0-13 defeat.

Ko Woo-suk ended the day's mission by quickly shaking off the impact of the home run by striking out Will Wilson with a swing and miss.

Ko Woo-suk threw 44 pitches in two innings. He mixed and threw splitters (17), sliders (13), fastballs (13), and curves (13). The maximum fastball speed was 95 miles (about 153 kilometers) and the average speed was 93.9 miles (about 151 kilometers). The speed of the ball was not much different from when it was good in Korea, but the fastball swing rate was only 13%. This is why they relied more on splitters (57% of swing rate) and sliders (44% of swing rate).

Ko Woo-suk confirmed his stay in the U.S. by agreeing to a minor league contract with Detroit on the 25th of last month. It was a week after receiving a release notice from the Miami Marlins on the 18th of last month. Ko Woo-seok, who became an FA, had two options to sign with another club or return to Korea to wear the LG Twins uniform again.

Returning to LG, Ko Woo-seok was able to continue his stable career. In the past year and six months in the United States, you must have suffered a lot in many ways. I'm sure it will be much more comfortable when I come to Korea, but the problem was my dream of becoming a major leaguer. Going to Korea meant that I would give up my dream soon. For Ko Woo-seok, dreams came before a comfortable life.




However, Ko Woo-suk had only one save, four innings, and a 9.00 ERA in three games since his transfer. The hit rate reaches 0.389.

Detroit is currently the dominant No. 1 team in the American League Central. If the bullpen is a weakness, it is a weakness. He had a 3.82 ERA in the bullpen until the 3rd, ranking ninth in the American League. So I wondered if Ko Woo-seok would have a chance, but there is no way with a pitch like this day when the team is struggling even in the face of a crushing defeat in Triple-A.

Usually in July, players give up on the major league roster. Ko Woo-seok has now only thrown three games at Mud Hens, but it is difficult to say that he has plenty of chances in the future.
