Umpire Confused by Glove... Go Woo-suk Ejected in Unprecedented 'Zero-Pitch' Exit

Woo-suk Go, who pitched in his first game following his demotion to Triple-A, has become embroiled in a controversial foreign substance suspicion.

He failed the pre-game foreign substance inspection and was ejected without throwing a single pitch.

Before stepping onto the mound, Go underwent a foreign substance inspection by the umpires.

This procedure is enforced to prevent pitchers from applying sticky substances to enhance the movement and spin of their pitches.

However, an umpire suddenly adjusted his posture, examined various parts of the glove, and three umpires gathered to make hand gestures indicating that something sticky was present.

Go and his manager even stepped up to protest, but the result was an ejection.

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 (July 26), and if the presence of a foreign substance is officially confirmed, he could face a suspension.
