National baseball player criticized for chucking water at audience

Kang Min-ho

Lotte Giants catcher Kang Min-ho is under fire for throwing a water bottle in the direction of fans after a game against the LG Twins in Seoul, Sunday.

The incident, taken after the Giants’ 3-2 loss at Jamsil Stadium, was captured on video by a fan and is circulating online. Netizens slammed Kang for being unprofessional.

Kang has since apologized.

“I was so focused on the match that I failed to control my emotions,” he said. “I apologize for the unpleasant scene I have caused.”

Kang was reportedly irate with an umpire’s call in the ninth inning.

Despite his apology, the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) were looking into the incident and determining the appropriate course of action.
