Pitcher Ko Woo-seok, who re-signed with the Detroit Tigers and continued his challenge to the Major League mound again, collapsed in his third appearance.
Ko Woo-seok, who currently plays for Toledo Mud Hens, a Triple-A team under Detroit, took the mound as the team's third pitcher in a home game against the Columbus Skippers (under the Cleveland Guardians) at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio on the 3rd (Korea time).
It was his third game as a member of Toledo, but he actually took the mound to deal with the loss. On this day, Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the top of the seventh inning, when the score gap was already wide at 0-10.
Ko Woo-seok was sluggish that day, perhaps because the economic trend had already passed. He allowed three consecutive hits, led by his first opponent, Will Wilson. In an instant, the bases were loaded with no outs. Ko Woo-seok induced Christian Cairo to ground out in front of the shortstop. In the meantime, Wilson, who was on third base, homered.
Milan Tolentino then allowed one more point after being hit by a sacrifice fly to center field. After that, he struck out Chase DeLouter with a swing and miss to end the inning.
Ko Woo-seok, who also took the mound in the eighth inning, allowed a solo home run to Noel Jokenshi after two outs, allowing the third run of the day, and struck out the next batter again. Ko Woo-suk threw a total of 44 pitches in two innings, allowing three runs on four hits, including one home run. Samjin was accompanied by two. The ERA also rose to 4.66.
He was suddenly notified of his release on the 18th of last month when he was preparing to enter the big league from Triple-A under Miami. Immediately after his release, he was expected to return to the KBO League, but Ko Woo-seok decided to remain in the U.S. and continue his big league challenge. In the end, he signed a minor league contract with Detroit on the 24th of last month, six days after his release.
Ko Woo-suk, a member of Toledo, allowed one run in one inning against the Charlotte Knights (under the Chicago White Sox) on June 28, his first game. In the game on the 30th, he also made a save in the ninth inning with a 5-3 lead over the Charlotte Knights.
However, while playing the most innings in his third appearance, he also scored the most runs, leaving a regret. The maximum restraint was 95 miles (about 152 kilometers). There is no problem with restraint. Problems are still being exposed in details such as rotational speed, ball control, and the trajectory of the breaking ball. In order to enter the big league stage, I think I need to improve my skills.
