“No More than 4 People in the Outfield”… KBO Distributes Rule Change Guide to Clubs

 

Description of changes such as automatic ball judgment and defensive shift restrictions

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) distributed information materials containing regulations and rule changes for 2024 to 10 professional baseball clubs. 바카라사이트

On the 6th, the KBO said, “We have included in the information materials key information regarding the Automatic Ball Decision System (ABS), base size expansion, and defensive shift restrictions that will be implemented from the 2024 season,” and “pitch clock regulations piloted in the KBO League and the Futures League.”

“We also provided guidance on the rule introduced by pitchers against three batters.”

The KBO League faces big changes this year.

Strike and ball decisions are made using ABS instead of referees, and the size of the base is also increased.

Defensive shifts are also suggested based on the base and inner/outfield.

At the site, concerns were expressed about adapting to the changed regulations.

The KBO said, “In the guidance material, we specified the standards for the top, bottom, and left and right of the strike zone in relation to ABS operation.

We also described in detail the judgment method in case of system defects,” and added, “To facilitate visual understanding, we included video data of pitches from actual KBO league games along with graphic materials.

“I attached it,” he said.

He added, “In addition to the explanation, we also attached a graphic regarding the restrictions on defensive shifts, dividing the applicable defensive positions from those that cannot be applied.”

The guidance material states, ‘To be considered a strike, a strike must meet the upper and lower height standards at both the middle and end surfaces of home plate.

The upper standard is 56.35% of the player’s height, and the lower standard is 27.64% of the player’s height.

A detailed explanation was attached, such as ‘For a player with a height of 180cm, the upper 101.43cm and the lower 49.75cm are applied as the strike zone.’

KBO said in its guidance material, “The ABS decision result is final, and no objection or protest can be made regarding it.

If smooth ABS operation is impossible due to equipment or system defects, errors, or other force majeure circumstances, the referee’s ball-strike decision is made.

It also introduced the management of the game, such as “It will be operated as an alternative.”

Regarding defensive shift restrictions.

The defensive team must have at least 4 players in the infield, and 2 infielders must be located on each side of the second base base.

When the pitcher is standing on the pitching board, 4 infielders must be in the infield.

Must be within the soil boundary.

If the infielders are not properly aligned when pitching, the attacking team can select an automatic ball or hitting result.

The outfielder’s positional movement is not restricted, but specific explanations were given, such as that more than 4 outfielders cannot be placed.

KBO plans to hold face-to-face briefing sessions for players in the future to help them understand.

Professional Basketball Leader DB Wins by 35 Points… Samsung is on a 10-Game Losing Streak

 

LG without Marey, wins streak with Sono… Even performance including Yoo Yoo-sang and Yang Hong-seok

Wonju DB, the leader in professional basketball, won by 35 points, plunging last place Seoul Samsung into a deep swamp of 10 consecutive losses. 카지노

DB broke its losing streak by defeating Samsung 108-73 in the 2023-2024 CheongKwanJang Professional Basketball Regular League away game held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on the 30th.

DB, with 28 wins and 9 losses, widened the gap with Seoul SK and Changwon LG (23 wins, 13 losses), who tied for second place, to four and a half games.

On the other hand, Samsung (5 wins, 31 losses), which suffered 10 consecutive losses, has a slimmer chance of escaping last place.

The gap with Anyang Cheonggwanjang and Goyang Sono (13 wins, 23 losses), tied for 8th place, has increased to 8 games.

Samsung, which has been without a win for a month since the last game against Sono on the 30th of last month, suffered 8 straight losses at home.

After winning the Daegu Korea Gas Corporation match on November 23 last year, we have not been able to smile at home for over two months.

Samsung competed on equal footing with DB until the first half.

The score difference between Samsung and DB, led by center Kofi Coburn, who scored 17 points and 7 rebounds in the first half, was only 6 points at the end of the second quarter.

However, DB hit 6 3-pointers in the 3rd quarter alone, scoring 35 points, widening the gap to over 20 points.

Samsung, which was unable to block DB’s quick attack led by Philippine guard Ethan Albano, was blocked by the opponent’s big man lineup of Kim Jong-gyu, Didrick Lawson, and Kang Sang-jae, including Coburn, and lost their attack.

DB’s ace Lawson scored another 3 points from the top at the start of the 4th quarter, completely breaking Samsung’s will to chase.

Lawson performed well in all areas, recording a triple-double with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Kim Jong-gyu also scored 24 points and 7 rebounds while defending Coburn, who was larger than him.

Forward Sangjae Kang recorded 15 points and 10 assists, relieving the burden on Albano, who was in charge of managing the game.

LG also defeated Sono 74-70 on the road without ‘mainstay’ Assem Marey.

As a result, LG rose to a tie for second place with Seoul SK, which broke that day.

The competition surrounding a direct route to the semifinal playoffs (PO) is fierce, with 4th place KT (22 wins, 13 losses) also trailing the two teams by half a game.

In professional basketball, the first and second place teams advance directly to the semifinals without going through the semifinal PO.

LG showed off its extraordinary competitiveness by cruising to 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 games in which foreign player Marey was out due to a knee injury.

Marey recorded 16.2 points and 15.3 rebounds in each game and played a key role in the offense and defense behind LG’s goal, but left the team due to a knee injury after the last game against SK on the 9th.

LG, where not only Marey but also Mexican national team center Josh Ibarra, who was selected as a replacement foreign player, has not yet played in an official game, struggled in the first half, allowing 21 points and 8 rebounds to Chinanu Onuaku.

However, in the second half, domestic players such as Lee Kwan-hee and Yang Hong-seok worked hard to shake off the pursuit of Sono, who was centered around Onuaku and Lee Jeong-hyeon.

Yang Hong-seok scored 19 points and became the team’s highest scorer.

Rookie shooter Yoo Yu-sang also provided firepower from the outside, scoring 18 points, including four 3-pointers.
