  • Go Woo-seok directly addressed the controversy surrounding his ejection from a Triple-A game while playing for the Minnesota Twins’ affiliate St. Paul Saints.
  • The pitcher said he had no wrongdoing to hide and attributed the issue to excessive sweating on his hands.

Go Woo-seok has finally spoken directly about the illegal-pitching controversy that had previously been reported only through U.S. media.

The incident occurred on July 25, when Go, then with the St. Paul Saints, the Minnesota Twins’ Triple-A affiliate, entered a game as a reliever. He was ejected before throwing a single pitch, creating an unusual situation that quickly drew attention.

After returning to the LG Twins, Go addressed what happened and maintained his innocence. He said he had nothing to be ashamed of, explaining that his hands simply sweat heavily. The controversy had remained unclear in South Korean coverage because details had largely come through reports from the United States.

I have nothing to hide. I am not ashamed.
