Go Woo Seok, it's Po Peach! → The splitter is complete.. No heater in the first ⅔

Ko Woo-seok, who continues his major league challenge, has increased the number of pitches to four. When I was in the KBO League, I sometimes mixed curves with fastballs and sliders. After entering the U.S., Ko Woo-seok added a splitter. Recently, he seems to be very proficient in playing four pitches.

Ko Woo-seok, a member of Triple-A Tolido Mud Hens under the Detroit Tigers, pitched one scoreless ⅔ against the Memphis Redbirds (under the St. Louis Cardinals) at Fifth Third Field in Tolido on the 21st (Korea time).

Ko Woo-suk allowed only two walks without a hit, showing a maximum of 153 km. The team lost three to four.




Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the top of the fifth inning, trailing 2-4, with one out and one on the first base. Ko Woo-seok struck out Matt Lloyd, the first batter, and cut the flow. Ko Woo-seok used splitter after catching the first strike. Lloyd swung and missed in a row.

Ko Woo-suk walked Carvin Collins after two outs, but caught Brian Torres with a fly ball to center field.

Ko Woo-suk also took the mound in the top of the sixth inning. Andy Yerji and Mike Antico were thinned out with infield ground balls. The splitters and four-seam fastballs respectively led to a blunder.




With two outs and no runners, JJ Weatherholt was walked again, which was a sign of the jade. Weatherholt was not deceived by the curve thrown at the full count.

Ko Woo-suk completed his mission by catching Nathan Church with a ground ball to the first base. Again, the crystal ball was a splitter.

Ko Woo-suk threw a total of 30 pitches. There were 13 fastballs and 10 splitters. It is the second most common use of pitches that were rarely thrown in Korea.




Ko Woo-seok, who achieved two innings of saves in the last game, continued his pleasant pitching streak.

Ko Woo-seok allowed eight runs and an ERA of 4.50 in 16 innings in 12 Triple-A games.

Ko Woo-suk challenged the Major League ahead of the 2024 season. He signed a two-year contract with the San Diego Padres for a total of $4.5 million (about 6.1 billion won).

He did not make his major league debut and was traded to the Miami Marlins. He was released from Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp under the Marlins on June 18. He signed with Tulido on the 25th and continues his Major League challenge.
