SSG Landers foreign hitter Guillermo Herredia was eventually sent off after breaking the pitch clock.

In a home game against the KIA Tigers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 22nd, Herredia started as a third-left fielder.

The situation took place in the bottom of the seventh inning when SSG was trailing 0-2. Herredia's at-bat with one out and runners on first base. However, even before KIA starter James Nail threw the first pitch, the referee declared a pitch clock violation strike to Herredia.




Herredia made a look and gesture mixed with discontent. Coach Lee Sung-yong, who was on the bench, also came to the ground himself to figure out the situation.

After that, the game resumed, and Herredia started the match with a count of 1S. After hitting a 146km two-seam fastball thrown by Nail on the second pitch and the third pitch, Herredia recorded a hit that fell in front of center field.

The scene in question starts here. Herredia looked back and shouted something at the referee as she hit and ran towards first base. He looked very angry.




Eredia entered the first base and SSG had a chance to hit the first and second bases with one out, but the referee stopped the game for a while and the fourth trial gathered. Coach Lee Sung-yong also came back to the ground to figure out the situation.

And after the discussion of the fourth trial, the referee shouted Herredia's 'Exit'. Referee Kim explained with an in-house microphone, "'Eredia was sent off for swearing at the referee.'"

Heredia finished the game by being replaced by a pinch runner and went down to the dugout, but she also glared at the umpires in the dugout and couldn't calm down her excitement.




It may be unfair to violate the pitch clock, but it is quite unusual for a player to swear at the referee during the game. Herredia's regretful behavior, which failed to control her emotions, led to a variable of the exit of the match.
