Ko Woo-seok, who made his professional debut after receiving LG’s first nomination in 2017 after graduating from Chungam High School, played 354 games in the first division and had 19 wins, 26 losses, 139 saves and 6 holds. The ERA has been 3.18. Since 2019, he has been keeping LG’s back door and has achieved more than 30 saves three times in his career, and won his first title as the relief king in 2022 with 42 saves.
After pushing to advance to the Major League through the posting system after the end of the last season, Ko signed a two-year 4.5 million-dollar contract with the San Diego Padres. He will receive 1.75 million dollars in 2024 and 2.25 million dollars in 2025, with 3 million dollars as a mutual option for 2026. If the option is not implemented, Ko will be released as a free agent after receiving 500,000 dollars in buyout. Including detailed options, Ko will be eligible to receive up to 9.4 million dollars for three years.
The San Diego club congratulated Ko by posting the phrase “Welcome to San Diego, Ko Woo-suk!” in Korean. On the 5th, he uploaded a greeting video of Ko visiting his home stadium, Petco Park, on his official SNS. Wearing a San Diego uniform, Ko said in English, “Hello Padres, my name is Go. Nice to meet you.” He then said in Korean, “It’s really nice to meet you. I’ll make sure to build up my body for the rest of the year so that I can show good performance in San Diego.” 온라인카지노
Ko Woo-seok is heading to San Diego and will be in the same team with Kim Ha-sung, the first Korean to win the Gold Glove last year. He can also aim for his debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Major League opening match to be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on March 20 and 21. Attention is also focusing on a showdown in the same district with Lee Jung-hoo, his brother-in-law, who signed a contract with the San Francisco Giants for six years and $113 million last month. In a return interview at Incheon International Airport on the 6th, Ko Woo-seok said, “Everything happened in a hurry, so I’m still dazed, but I feel good to be in front of you.”
“I was worried because there was not much time left until the contract was signed,” he said. “The contract was signed just seven minutes before the contract was signed, and I breathed a sigh of relief rather than joy,” he added. “I felt good just to have the offer come in. I felt good just because the agency explained the terms of the contract well.” “I haven’t taken the mound for the first time yet, so I don’t have much impact on the Major League. Since I’m in a position to compete, I think I’ll feel real if I compete well and get on the roster enough to be called a major leaguer.”
“I have a scene that I have dreamed of since I was young, but I don’t think I am a major leaguer yet,” he said of his goal for the first year since his debut in the Major League. “I need to show what I can call a major leaguer to be a real major leaguer.” “Since it’s early January, I think I’ll start my first training around mid-February, and I need to build up my body during that time. Then, while playing, I need to think that I can win by competing with other hitters. And I need to be on the roster to be called a major leaguer.”
