Ko Woo-seok, who plays for the Detroit Tigers' Triple-A team, Toledo Mud Hens, pitched cleanly in the top of the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds' Louisville Bats on the 10th (Korea time), mixing two strikeouts.
Ko Woo-seok, who took the mound in the top of the eighth inning when his team was trailing 0-3, struck out the first five Rees Hinds with a swing and miss. He induced a swing and miss with a high fastball of 93.7 miles (about 151 kilometers) on the fourth pitch in 1B2S. No. 6 Ryan Vilard threw a 79.9-mile (about 128km) curve into the middle, and Vilard hit it, and Ko Woo-seok caught it and threw it to first base.
He struck out again with another fastball after a full-count battle with No. 7 Christian Encarnacion. The 7th pitch, 93.6 miles (about 151 kilometers) of fastball came almost to the center, but he couldn't hit it and struck out swinging. Ko Woo-seok's maximum fastball speed on the day was 94.3 miles (about 152 kilometers).
He has played in 28 games in the minor leagues this year, recording one win, one loss and two saves.
Ko Woo-suk, who has not been able to play for a while due to injury since July 27, has been rehabilitating for the West Michigan Whitecaps, a single-A team, since August 20. And on the 5th, he finished a total of six rehabilitation appearances with one hit and one walk in one ⅓ inning, and came back to Triple-A on the 9th to complete his first appearance successfully.
Now the question is whether Ko Woo-seok will be able to take the mound in the Major League. Detroit has only 17 games left in the regular season. I wonder what the last-minute spurt of Ko Woo-seok will come back to.
