As long as the temperature rises by 36 degrees, the baseball stadium is also on alert to secure safety in the heat wave.

KBO announced on the 8th a heat wave preparation plan to secure the safety of audiences, players, and officials visiting KBO League and Futures League stadiums as the heat wave intensifies nationwide.

Extending cleaning time, arranging air conditioners and drinks, announcing how to deal with heat waves, and increasing medical support personnel and supplies. The game was also delayed at 2 p.m. in early and early September. They also decided to limit unlimited overtime games in the second half of the Futures League.




High school baseball, which is played in the middle of the day, is also preparing measures to prepare for the heat wave. To avoid the hottest 2 o'clock game, we decided to postpone it to 5 o'clock.

From the 8th, KBO has adjusted its operating policy to extend the cleaning time from the current four minutes to up to 10 minutes after consultation between the game management committee and the referees at each stadium depending on the degree of heat wave.

In addition, in an official letter to each club, they asked for sufficient air conditioners and drinks in the squad area in preparation for the occurrence of heat diseases. For the safety of the audience, the electronic board periodically guided how to cope with the heat wave, and requested an increase in medical support and guidance personnel and sufficient preparation of countermeasures in case of emergency.

Perhaps baseball has also rushed to come up with measures to cope with the heat wave.




The Korea Baseball Softball Association increased the dugout cooling system at the 80th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship held at Mokdong Baseball Stadium in Seoul and gave cooling breaks every three innings under the judgment of the supervisor. From the 9th, the game will be postponed to 5 p.m. from 3:10 p.m.

The Mokdong Stadium on artificial turf turned into a huge furnace due to geothermal heat in the heat wave. Despite the threat to student health, night games have not been held since 6 o'clock due to complaints about noise and lighting from local residents.
