Ryu Hyun-jin complains about ABS…KBO reveals pitch tracking judgment data, “Ball is 0.78cm lower” : ZUM News

[OSEN=손찬익 기자] Professional baseball pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles often showed an expression of confusion and dissatisfaction at the ABS ball decision during the game against KT held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 24th. Accordingly, the KBO released pitch tracking judgment data provided by ABS operator Sports2I.

Ryu Hyun-jin looked surprised after throwing the third pitch to leadoff hitter Cho Yong-ho in the bottom of the third inning. The 140km fastball hit the border line below the strike zone, but it was ruled a ball.

A 135km fastball to the body of the 4th pitch was also ruled a ball. Ryu Hyun-jin’s face hardened with a bewildered expression. Batter Cho Yong-ho did not move at the plate, as if he thought it was a strike. He ran to first base when the umpire called him a walk.

Against Kim Sang-soo with one out and first base, the second pitch, a 128 km outside changeup, seemed to hit the border line, but it was a ball. Ryu Hyun-jin stuck out his lips and expressed his regret. Balls 3 and 4 were high courses in the middle. When the walk decision came out, Ryu Hyun-jin asked something toward the third base dugout. He seemed to be checking, ‘Is it the right ball?’ Starting on the 23rd, an ABS judgment receiver will be placed in the dugout so that ABS calls can be confirmed. Two walks put the runners on first and second base with one out, and then he got a timely hit from Seong-ho Cheon to tie the game and a timely hit from Baek-ho Kang. Rojas’ double play was ruled safe at first base through a video review, allowing three runs in the third inning alone. In the 4th inning, a series of defensive errors resulted in 4 runs, 7 runs (5 earned) in 5 innings, making him the losing pitcher. Ryu Hyun-jin, whom we met before the game on the 25th, complained about the ABS zone. Ryu Hyun-jin said passionately, “In the 3rd inning, against Jo Yong-ho, the 3rd ball was ruled low. However, the 3rd ball in the 5th inning went in at almost the same height, but it was ruled a strike. More balls missed in the 5th inning, so it should have been a ball.” . Ryu Hyun-jin struck out Jo Yong-ho on 3 pitches in the 5th inning and shook his head as he came down the mound. He struck out, but showed his dissatisfaction with the ABS zone.

Accordingly, on the 26th, the KBO released the pitch tracking judgment data provided by ABS operator Sports2I and said, “The third pitch of KT Cho Yong-ho’s at-bat at the end of the third inning of the game in which Ryu Hyun-jin took the mound passed the bottom of the ABS middle zone by 0.15 cm, but missed the end of the ABS. “It was ruled a ball because it failed to pass the bottom of the zone by 0.78cm.”

He also added, “We also attached the relevant pitch data so that you can compare and check Cho Yong-ho’s 3 pitches at bat in the bottom of the 5th inning with his 3 pitches in the bottom of the 3rd inning.”

KBO said, “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 (strike decision), 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 (ball decision) can be confirmed in the graphic. “The position where it was pitched is different,” he said. /[email protected]
