Go Woo-seok can't hold his heart in Double A. Four hits and three runs. ERA 23.63 Is this for real...

Ko Woo-seok continues to be sluggish.
Ko Woo-seok, who plays for the Miami Marlins' double-A team, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, took the mound in the top of the ninth inning against the Mississippi Braves under the Atlanta Braves on the 21st (Korea time) and was withdrawn without finishing the inning. ⅔He was replaced after allowing four hits, one strikeout, and three runs in innings. The ERA rose to a whopping 23.63.
Ko Woo-seok took the mound in the top of the ninth inning when his team was trailing 0-2. Even if he is trailing, if Ko Woo-seok stops him without allowing a run, he may seek to turn the tables in the last chance at the bottom of the ninth inning.
However, it was a different pitching than I expected. He got a right-handed hit by the first-runner Kesion Oguns and then allowed him to steal second base, making it second base with no outs. He then allowed No. 5 Connie Milligan to hit the right field again, putting him on the verge of first and third bases with no outs.
No. 6 Gerald also lost the second base to Milligan when facing Quintero, making it the second and third bases with no outs. Quintero struck out swinging, but allowed two runs on a right-handed hit by No. 7 Sebastian Rivero. With one out and a runner on the second base, Bryson Horne was grounded out in front of the second base, with two outs and a runner on the third base. Brandon Parker allowed a right-handed double to give up the third run. Eventually, the pitcher was replaced by Justin King, and King struck out Carl Conley to end the ninth inning.
Penser Cola only scored one run in the bottom of the ninth inning and lost 1-5.
Ko Woo-seok has been remarkably sluggish since going down to Double A.
Ko Woo-suk pitched in 16 games for Miami's Triple-A team, Jacksonville, with a 2-1 hold ERA of 4.29, but has a 23.63 ERA with one win in three games since coming to double-A Penser Cola on the 12th. He lost points throughout the three games. He allowed eight hits (one homer) with three walks, four strikeouts, and eight runs (seven earned) during two ⅔ innings. The on-base allowance per inning (WHIP) is 4.13.
The fact that Ko Woo-suk went down to Double-A can be interpreted as meaning that it is not easy to get promoted to the Major League, and because of this, Ko Woo-suk also seems to have a poor performance as he throws in a difficult situation.
As a result, Ko Woo-seok's challenge this season is likely to end in failure. But it shouldn't end like this. For next year's sake, we must achieve a successful completion. It is Ko Woo-seok who has to start anew.
