Ex-Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig charges mound in baseball game halfway around the world

Yasiel Puig is still in the middle of things.

It just so happens that his middle of things now takes place in Korea.

Puig is a star for the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO.

And in the Heroes' most recent game, Puig took exception to a pitch near his head.

Puig took a quick charge toward the mound before slowing up. It resulted in a full-on clearing of the benches.

The former Dodgers star is now 34 years old. He's slugged four home runs this season for Kiwoom.

Puig played in the Mexican League in 2024 before heading to his second stint in the KBO for 2025.

He has also stayed active in the various Caribbean winter leagues.

Puig's last MLB action was in 2019 for Cincinnati and Cleveland.

The Cuban outfielder won't be making his way back stateside, but he's still got a spot on a diamond, and he still finds a way to draw attention.
