Faster baseball is expected to be more convenient for Juma. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) will strengthen its speedup starting this season.
The Peach Clock, which was piloted last year, will be implemented in earnest. It is the first year of the official implementation of the ball-strike penalty. This season is the first year, so it has been relaxed to "20 seconds when there is a runner and 25 seconds when there is no runner", but it is expected to be of great help to speed up the game.
Use all technical means to reduce game time.
The automatic ball-strike judgment system (ABS), which was introduced last year, also contributed to shortening the game time. This is because unnecessary disputes over the decision have disappeared.

KBO will introduce the HAWK-EYE replay system for video reading from this season' announced on the 17th.
The biggest advantage of Hawk Eye Replay is gathering. On one screen, you can see a plurality of images taken from different angles at a glance. More accurate and faster reading is expected. It is also expected to have the effect of reducing the overall game time.
Until last season, only one image per screen was available among a plurality of videos obtained during video reading and during the game. For this reason, it took a certain amount of time to check each image for accurate reading. Scenes with ambiguous reading often consumed almost all of the time limit of 3 minutes. When a plurality of split screens are provided at the same time, the reading time is inevitably reduced.
The KBO Video Reading Center, operated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, uses seven cameras installed at various angles in the KBO League stadium. In addition, it is equipped with a system that can check up to 16 images at the same time if necessary by receiving images taken by the broadcasting broadcaster of the game.
Starting at 6:30 p.m. today (17th), 'Kbo Live', which will be broadcast live on KBO's official YouTube, will introduce the KBO video reading Hawk eye replay system in detail along with ABS strike zone changes and pitch clock changes.
