Go Woo-suk, who took the mound in his first game following his demotion to Triple-A, has become embroiled in suspicions of illegal pitching.
He failed the foreign substance check prior to stepping onto the mound, resulting in his ejection without throwing a single pitch.
Before climbing the mound, Go underwent a foreign substance inspection by the umpires.
This is a procedure implemented to prevent pitchers from applying sticky substances to enhance the movement of their pitches.
However, the umpires suddenly straightened up, inspected various parts of his glove, and three of them gathered to make hand gestures indicating that something sticky was found.
Go and his manager even stepped forward to protest, but the result was an ejection.
[Go Woo-suk is ejected from the game! It is an absurd and unprecedented situation in a pitching debut.]
His glove was confiscated, and Go, appealing his unfairness, finished his worst-ever debut without throwing a single pitch.
A decision on disciplinary action is scheduled to be announced tomorrow, and if the foreign substance is ultimately confirmed, he could face a suspension.
