Up to 155km fastball → 147km folk ball hope! Ko Woo-seok, who chose to stay instead of returning to LG, throws an angry fight against his release
고우석.



For Ko Woo-seok, will Detroit be a land of opportunity.

Was released in vain by the Miami Marlins. But the Detroit Tigers gave us a new opportunity.

Is it because of that. I've recovered my ball power from my heyday.




Ko Woo-seok's current team is Toledo Mud Hens, a Triple-A team under Detroit. Ko Woo-seok took the mound against the Columbus Clippers, a triple-A team under the Cleveland Guardians, on the 7th (Korea time) and pitched one ⅓ scoreless inning. The ERA went down to 4.09.

He allowed one walk, but struck out two without a hit, showing off his powerful pitching.

In particular, it is notable that various types of pitches have been tested. On this day, Ko Woo-seok threw a total of 18 pitches. Among them, the speed of the fastball (10) averaged 152 km and reached a maximum of 155 km.




In particular, it is intense that the speed of the splitters (4), which were installed in earnest on the U.S. stage, recorded a maximum of 147 kilometers. In addition, he threw two cut fastballs (two sliders) and one curve (one each).

Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the third inning with two outs and a runner on the first base, catching the first batter with a fly ball to center field to end the inning. In the fourth inning, he struck out two swinging and built up two outs, and gave up one walk, but he did his part by catching the next batter with a ground ball to second base.

Ko Woo-suk entered the U.S. stage in a surprise move last year after signing a two-year contract worth $4.5 million (about 6.1 billion won) with San Diego. However, he changed his uniform to the Miami Marlins without even having a taste of the big leagues.




This year, the spring camp and the bad luck of getting a finger injury overlapped. After wandering, such as being used as an untimely starting pitcher, he eventually accepted the result of his release. It was even evaluated that Miami's value of the player hit rock bottom as it released Ko Woo-seok despite its fourth-place salary and thin bullpen in the team.

The possibility of a comeback to the LG Twins was also raised, but Ko Woo-seok himself still had regrets about the U.S. Ko Woo-seok signed a minor league contract with Detroit on the 25th of last month and is on the U.S. stage to survive.
