"The Dream of the Big League Continues!" Ko Woo-seok, Second Save of the Season... Shooting Up Hope

[Financial News]  The earnest challenge towards the dream of promotion to Major League Baseball (MLB) continues! Ko Woo-seok (26), who is receiving the expectations of Korean baseball fans, harvested his second save of the season, igniting the spark of hope towards the big league.
Playing for the Toledo Mud Hens, a Triple-A team under the Detroit Tigers, Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the 8th inning with the team leading 7-5 in the game against the Omaha Storm Chasers (a Kansas City Royals affiliate) held at Werner Park in Papillion, Nebraska, USA, on the 13th (Korean time). He recorded 2 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts, and 1 run in 2 innings, firmly securing the team's 7-6 victory. His heavy pitches, reaching a maximum speed of 95.4 mph (about 153.5 km/h), remained unchanged, and he added another save just 13 days after securing his first save following his transfer on the 30th of last month, showcasing his presence on the mound. His current ERA is 5.02.
On this day, Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the 8th inning, giving up 1 walk but finishing the inning cleanly with 2 strikeouts and no runs. The crisis came in the 9th inning. After 1 out, he allowed a double to MJ Melendez and a timely hit to Cavan Biggio after 2 outs, giving up 1 run.
However, he did not falter. He struck out Joey Wiemer with a refreshing swing and miss, displaying the 'strong heart' to finish the game.
Ko Woo-seok is continuing his challenging journey, having transferred from the San Diego Padres to the Miami Marlins and then to the Toledo Mud Hens under the Detroit Tigers this season. However, he is quietly challenging towards the goal of promotion to the big league.
This save is a valuable result showing that his efforts were not in vain and a powerful knock on the door of the big league.
Will Ko Woo-seok be able to stand on the big league mound with unwavering pitching? The passionate support of Korean baseball fans continues for his vigorous challenge towards his dream.
