Pitcher Go Woo-seok's struggles continued in his latest Triple-A outing for the St. Paul Saints, the Minnesota Twins' affiliate. Appearing in a game against the Columbus Clippers, Go entered in the fifth inning and pitched two innings, allowing one hit and two runs. This performance adds to a concerning trend for the South Korean pitcher.
In his last two appearances, Go has demonstrated significant control issues. He has issued a total of four walks and hit one batter, raising questions about his readiness for higher-level competition. His inability to consistently find the strike zone has hampered his effectiveness and put his team in difficult situations.
