Ko Woo-seok (27), who suffered a finger injury during spring camp training and was deployed to a minor league camp, will start the season in Double A.
Local media "FishOnFirst" updated the Miami Marlins injured list on the 4th (Korea time) and reported the news of Ko Woo-seok's double-A trip. According to the media, Ko Woo-seok is expected to start this season with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a double-A team under Miami.
Ko was diagnosed with a fractured index finger of his right hand in February. The reason was a bit absurd. He injured his finger while doing shadow pitching with a towel at an indoor gym, not excessive weight training or actual pitching. Eventually, he was listed on the team's roster for minor league camp about two weeks after the injury was reported.
Ko Woo-suk, who challenged the U.S. stage through the posting system at the end of the 2023 season, moved to the U.S. on Jan. 3, 2024, a day before the deadline, signing a two-plus-one-year, up to $9.4 million contract with the San Diego Padres.
He had a rough start. He had a sluggish performance in five exhibition games, including one loss and one hold, with an earned run average of 12.46 (six runs allowed in four ⅓ innings). The San Diego Padres, which were scheduled to play the opening game of the 2024 regular season against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Seoul, included Ko in its 31-member squad. However, Ko was shaken by two hits (one homer) and two strikeouts in one inning in an exhibition match with his former team LG, and had to watch the opening game in the dugout.
Ko Woo-seok, who returned to the U.S., had an eventful year, starting in the minor leagues, experiencing trade and release crises, and finishing the season in Double-A.
Ko Woo-suk, who entered the 2024 season in Double-A, did not leave an impressive record with 10 games, 2 losses, 1 hold, 1 save, and an ERA of 4.38. On May 5, about a month after the opening, Ko Woo-suk left San Diego in a 4-1 trade (Ko Woo-suk, Dylan Head, Jacob Marcy, Nathan Matorella ↔ Luis Arraez) and wore a Miami uniform.
Ko Woo-seok was humiliated by the DFA (transfer nomination) on May 31, less than a month after moving to Miami. Ko Woo-seok, who remained in Miami because he did not announce his intention to recruit from other teams, was demoted to Double-A on July 12 after recording a record of 2.29 ERA with two wins and one hold in 16 games in Triple-A under Miami.
In the Double-A game as well, Ko was mired in a deeper slump with 18 games, 2 wins, 1 loss, 2 holds, 2 saves and an earned run average of 10.42. In the end, he failed to achieve his dream of entering the big league in his first year in the U.S., stayed in the minor leagues, and posted disappointing results of 4 wins, 3 losses, 3 saves and an earned run average of 6.54 in 44 games. 바카라사이트
Ko, who will receive 2.25 million U.S. dollars in salary in 2025, was included in the roster of invited players for the Miami Spring camp, which gave him a chance to enter the Major League. However, he failed to join the opening game as he was hampered by an absurd injury even before he had a chance to play in the actual game, and he finally accepted the worst result of starting the season in Double A.
Pansacola will play three consecutive home opening games against the Biloxi Shockers from the 5th.
