As it is the first introduction in the world of professional baseball, the world’s baseball community is paying attention to how fair the decision will be made. There will also be confusion. At the recent KBO referee winter training, a curve ball that was stuck to the ground kept getting a strike. The robot judged that it fell to the floor after passing the zone.

However, pitch clock is a change that has more room to act as a bigger variable than a robot referee. It was first introduced by the Major League Baseball. This was done to shorten the duration of the game. In a broader sense, the rule is that a pitcher should throw a ball within a limited time.

In more detail, you have to pitch within 15 seconds if there is no runner, and 20 seconds if there is a runner. A batter must also enter the batter’s box within 30 seconds after the previous batter finishes hitting. After the pitch clock is activated, the pitcher must be given at least 8 seconds to prepare for the hit within 7 seconds if there is no runner, and 12 seconds if there is a runner.

Looking at it like this, it doesn’t seem that complicated. However, the reality is different. Even when looking at the referees’ training, they spent much more time on pitch-clock adaptation training. This is because there are so many factors to check the time in each situation. “I think we need a lot of adaptation training,” one referee said, explaining that the referees are still unfamiliar with it. 사설 토토사이트
