It also looked like a swing in the broadcast replay, but in KBO's camera, the end of the bat was not turned, and the swing was reversed to the north wing, which almost changed the outcome of the game.
It happened in the top of the ninth inning against the Lotte Giants and LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th.
Lotte's last attack in the top of the ninth inning with LG leading 5-3. With two outs and runners on second base, Son Ho-young faced LG closer Yoo Young-chan. In 2B2S, Yoo Young-chan's 6th pitch, a 134-km slider, bent outward and fell, and Son Ho-young stopped while throwing the bat.
The first baseman declared a swing. Until last week, Son Ho-young's strikeout asked if the game would end like this. However, Son Ho-young jumped up and sent a signal requesting a video review first, and Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung officially requested a video review.
And on the replay screen first caught on the broadcast screen, Son Ho-young's bat seemed to have turned more than half. It looked like he would be recognized by his swing.

The result was reversed to the North Wing. It was the moment when the strikeout turned into a full count. Prior to Son Ho-young, Samsung's Kim Sung-yoon was ruled a check swing in the top of the ninth inning against NC, but was overturned to the North Wing by video judgment, becoming the first case of reversal of the check swing, but Son Ho-young was the first to change the result.
Son Ho-young revived, and Lotte also got another opportunity to break the losing streak again in the final round in 10 consecutive losses. Son Ho-young then fouled 7 and 8 pitches in a row, picked out the high fastball 151km on the 9th pitch without being deceived by the high fastball and walked to get on base.
Lotte's chance, which continued to the first and second bases with two outs, fell to a 10th consecutive loss as Ko Seung-min failed to take advantage of the second opportunity made by the video review of the check swing, failing to take advantage of the third baseman's fly.
