LG Twins foreign pitcher Yoni Chirinos received attention from the referee about the pitching motion due to NC's protest during the good pitching. That there is no exact stopping motion before pitching.
Chirinos started in an away game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 27th. Chirinos, who finished the bottom of the first inning with eight balls, quickly increased the outcount in the bottom of the second inning by catching No. 4 Davison with a fly to center field on the second base and No. 5 Park Kun-woo with a fly to right field on the second base. And No. 6 Lee Woo-sung at bat.
But at this time, the referee went toward Chirinos. And I called an interpreter to explain. He then explained the situation to LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop and pitcher coach Kim Kwang-sam. Judging from manager Yeom's position in the set position, it seemed to be about the set position.
SBS Sports, which broadcasted the game on the day, captured a scene in which Lee Woo-sung protested something to the referee before he entered the batter's box while raising his leg in Chirinos' set position. Since then, the referee went up to Chirinos, so it can be considered that the protest was accepted.
Since then, Chirinos continued to spray the ball without any problems and pitched six hits, no four outs, no five strikeouts, and no runs until the seventh inning, becoming a winning pitcher with his team's 10-1 victory and winning 11 games of the season.

After the game, I asked Chirinos' interpreter what motion was wrong. Since Chirinos has been taking a set position since he received the autograph, he said he was not sure when he was throwing the ball because the batters could not accurately distinguish from which point the set position was.
Usually, pitchers take set positions after seeing signs from catchers or listening to pitchcom, but Chirinos did not get the timing to throw the ball because he threw the ball after hearing the sign while holding the set position.
In the end, Chirinos changed his pitching form a little, but as a result, it had no effect. In a post-match interview, Chirinos said there was "no significant impact."There are things I've changed after hearing about it, but I can't tell you." Chirinos changed his pitching form to enter the set position after receiving an autograph with a ball in his right hand from the third inning. After that, NC's shaking did not affect as it continued to score no runs until the seventh inning.
