Even if I cried, it wouldn't have been weird.
Pohang Stadium on the 15th, when the match between the Samsung Lions and the KT Wiz was held. In the bottom of the fourth inning, when Samsung was leading 3-0. Jeon Byung-woo's double and Kim Young-woong's hit gave him a chance to run away to the first and third bases with no outs.
No. 8 Lee Sung-kyu at bat. He rose to stardom by hitting 22 home runs last year, but this season he blew the early part of the season due to injuries and was struggling with a batting average in the 10% range even after returning. With only one RBI in the season, the chance to hit first and third bases with no outs was too precious.
Match with Ko Young-pyo. With three consecutive cuts at 1B2S, he showed his determination to bring in a runner at third base somehow. And the changeup on the seventh pitch fell. Lee Sung-kyu's bat went out and stopped exactly.

But what's wrong with this. In response to Ko Young-pyo's gesture that it was a swing, the center immediately declared a swing and miss strikeout. He didn't even ask the first base, but he called for a strikeout. A player knows. Whether his bat turned or not. Lee Seong-gyu jumped up and down as if he were being unjustified. He expressed his regret with an expression almost on the verge of crying. sighed deeply. Kang Myung-gu, the first base coach who can see the scene best, also opened his arms with an absurd expression and insisted that it was 'no swing', but nothing changed. Coach Park Jin-man also came out and briefly protested and entered.
Looking at the slow screen, Lee Sung-kyu's bat head did not turn at all. Some say that even if the head does not rotate, it is a swing if the hand or body rotates too much, but Lee Sung-kyu's swing did not fall under this category. It was enough to be unfair.

Recently, there have been a lot of bad calls for checkswing. Usually, it turns, but it is often judged that it has not. But on this day, it was the opposite.
Fortunately for Samsung, Kim Young-woong went to second base with a stolen base and the next batter Lee Jae-hyun hit a two-run timely hit to bring in all the runners. However, Lee Sung-kyu's personal regret could not be resolved.
Still, what was fortunate for Lee Sung-kyu was that he hit a triple to right-center in the seventh inning of the game, bringing in two runners. In addition to his first infield hit, he played a multi-hit game. Multi-RBI on his first multi-hit of the season. It was a triple that shook off the anger of the unfair strikeout.
