To avoid the director of Peach Clock Violator No. 1, who confessed his feelings, the sauna in the evening

Veteran SSG Landers pitcher Noh Kyung-eun set the record of the first exhibition game he wanted to avoid. It is the first peach clock violation that was officially introduced this year. Noh Kyung-eun took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning in the opening game of the exhibition game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 8th. Noh Kyung-eun faced Yang Yang-geun with two outs and runners on first and second bases. In the absence of the first pitch, one ball count went up as he struggled for a while as if he couldn't hear the sound of the pitch-combe, and then exhausted all the 25 seconds given. Of course, Noh Kyung-eun was the only violator of the exhibition game held at five stadiums across the country, so he received an unintended spotlight.
Peach Clock, which was introduced on a trial basis in the first team last year, was officially introduced this year. In the Major League, it is quite tight at 15 seconds when there is no runner and 18 seconds when there is a runner, but the KBO League has a relative margin of 20 seconds without a runner and 25 seconds when there is a runner as it is the first year of its official introduction. Since the pilot was already introduced since last year, and most of the players had already adapted, the field said "I don't think there will be any big problems." The pitchers thought the same.
However, the reason why Noh Kyung-eun, a veteran player who has experienced all the battles, became the first violation is because of Pitchcom. KBO League pitchers and catchers wear pitchcoms introduced during last year's season. It is a sign exchange device that can reduce sign delivery time and prevent unsavory parts such as sign stealing. Pitchers put pitchcoms on the cap and listen to the sound of signatures sent by the catcher.

Noh Kyung-eun "In the future, we can use a way to deal with the pitch clock not to violate it even in such situations. I don't think it's going to be a big problem," he smiled awkwardly.

Director Lee Sung-yong, who heard this, said "I think it came out very well. I met the power analysis team leader and pitching coach this morning and talked about it again. He cautioned against such cases during the season. But I think it came out really well. I think the players must have realized the importance more. If you can't hear the equipment, you have to get out of your feet quickly, and the players will get more and more tips."
Even so, since last winter, I've talked a lot with the power analysis team leader and the pitcher part. If this happens in a one-point situation when it's crucial, the game may be over. How despondent that would be. We're a team that even had a tiebreaker last year, so we know the importance of one win better than any other team. I think I need to get ready for bed."
