Ryu Hyun-jin’s complaints about the ABS system are completely refuted with KBO data – Sports Kyunghyang

When Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin (37) expressed dissatisfaction with the ABS system, the KBO countered with related data.

KBO said, “We are receiving many inquiries about ABS judgment data for Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin’s specific pitch against Suwon KT on the 24th and Hanwha Moon Dong-ju’s specific pitch against Suwon KT on the 23rd,” and provided pitch tracking judgment data provided by Sports2I. shared.

KBO said, “The third pitch of KT Cho Yong-ho’s at-bat at the end of the third inning in which Ryu Hyun-jin pitched passed the bottom of the ABS middle zone by 0.15 cm, but failed to pass the bottom of the ABS end zone by 0.78 cm, so it was ruled a ball.”

He continued, “The 4 pitches at the plate of KT Cheon Seong-ho at the bottom of the 4th inning pitched by Moon Dong-ju on the 23rd (ruled as a strike), and the 3 pitches at the plate of KT Cheon Seong-ho at the bottom of the 1st inning pitched by Ryu Hyun-jin on the 24th (ruled as a ball) are different from where they were pitched.” He said.

Ahead of the game against KT held at Suwon Stadium on the 25th the previous day, Ryu Hyun-jin said, “What would be a ball becomes a strike, and what would be a strike becomes a ball. “It may be different for each stadium, but the problem is that it changes from game to game (at the same stadium),” he said, expressing dissatisfaction.

Ryu Hyun-jin said, “In the 3rd inning, the ball was ruled low, but in the 5th inning, it was ruled a strike even though the ball went in at almost the same height. “(In my opinion) it should have been a ball in the 5th inning because the ball missed slightly more,” he said.

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho also said, “On the 23rd, the first game in Suwon, when Moon Dong-joo came out as a starter and threw, the ball outside the right-handed hitter became the ball.” We devised a strategy to attack that side. However, on this day, the ABS zone did not catch the left-handed batter’s outside ball that it had caught on the first day, and the opposite side became wider. “That’s why Ryu Hyun-jin stopped it,” he claimed.

KT coach Lee Kang-cheol also said, “Ryu Hyun-jin threw three outside balls in a row against left-handed hitter Cheon Seong-ho in the first inning, and they were all lined up with only slightly different heights. However, they were all ruled balls. “If it had been a game the day before, everything that would have been in was out,” he said, agreeing.
