The Pirate can’t come ashore.

Jung Ho Kang, the Pirates infielder who has been convicted in a series of drunk-driving incidents in his native Korea, reportedly was denied a visa to enter the United States.

There is a possibility he will be unavailable to the Pirates for the 2017 season.

The report in a Korean-language publication, as translated by journalist Sung Min Kim, also states Kang is suspected of additionally having been convicted of drunk driving in another country that is not Korea or the United States.

In March, Kang received an eight-month suspended sentence following a DUI arrest in Seoul four months prior — his third drunk-driving arrest. The terms of the plea allowed him to avoid jail time and be free to return to the US. Kang initially asked his friend, who was in the BMW with him when he crashed, to take responsibility.

Kang reportedly sought treatment for alcohol issues this offseason.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has reported that State Department officials reviewing visa cases have discretion to determine whether there is a visa ineligibility if someone has been charged with drunk driving, and might require a medical examination.

Kang, who turns 30 next month, signed a four-year, $11 million contract with the Pirates prior to the 2015 season. In two big league seasons, he piled up a combined 36 home runs and 120 RBIs while hitting .273/.355/.483.
