KBO was already preparing. Check swing video reading cameras were already being installed at the first-team stadium.
Check swing, which has been the subject of controversy throughout the first half, is expected to be covered by video review in the second half.
As the check swing, which has been requested by various field managers, led by LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop since last year, became such a problem that it affected the outcome of the game this season, field managers requested it to KBO at the manager's meeting at the All-Star Game and received a positive answer.
And KBO has already installed check swing reading cameras in seven stadiums, and is scheduled to complete the installation of cameras in Jamsil and Gocheok Sky Dome by the 16th.
However, the check swing video review does not begin with the start of the second half. After taking a test period to check the accuracy, the actual start point will be determined through the executive committee.
KBO Secretary-General Park Geun-chan asked at the manager's meeting at the All-Star Game that managers should introduce it in this year's postseason at the latest. The matter cannot just be confirmed on the spot, so it will be decided through the executive committee" he said.

The difference from the Futures League, where the first team's check swing video reading is currently being conducted, is that it is not an on-site reading. In the Futures League, the referee will see and make a decision at the scene, and the check swing reading camera installed in the first team will be connected to KBO's video reading center to determine whether or not the check swing is made at the video reading center.
Even if there is a camera, the first and third base judges will decide whether to swing or not. In the video reading room, when a situation occurs, the check swing is checked, but it is piled up as data without notifying the site. It will be checked whether the installed camera works properly and whether it is installed according to KBO's standards and reads according to accurate standards.
Secretary-General Park expects to run the test for about a month"After that, the executive committee will confirm the official introduction timing" he explained. There are also many things to decide, such as whether to put the check swing video reading into the existing video reading or separate it like a home run reading and the number of requests.
The last controversial check swing, following the video reading of out-safe and foul-fair, followed by the introduction of ABS for strike-ball, will also be resolved by video reading in the second half of this season. In the more fair KBO League, fans, the field and the referee fight and the heartache disappears.
