Kim Young-woong at-bat in the bottom of the third inning. When Chirinos throws his seventh ball, the broadcast screen is 2B2S, making it a full count. However, it was 3B2S on the electronic display, so a walk was decided. Afterwards, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop came out with an ABS tablet PC and protested, and it was corrected to 3B2S, and Kim Young-woong entered the batter's box again. SPOTV2 Broadcast Screen Capture
The ball count came out wrong on the electronic board, so everyone was mistaken for a walk.

It happened at Kim Young-woong's at-bat in the bottom of the third inning of the LG Twins-Samsung Lions match at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 2nd. Kim Young-woong almost walked out of 3B2S.

LG starter Chirinos caught consecutive strikes with a 144km first pitch and a 135km sweeper on the second pitch. He threw the ball for the third time in the advantageous count of 2S, and after four or five consecutive fouls, he threw the ball to six or seven pitches to become a full count.




However, the referee signed Kim Young-woong to go to first base with a walk. On the electronic display, there was a full count on the sixth ball. Chirinos looked at the bench with a bewildered expression, and there seemed to be confusion in the count at the scene. Kim Young-woong, who ran to first base, tried to return home again and went back to first base.

It appeared to be confirmed by a walk. However, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop visited the referee with an ABS tablet PC in the dugout. I brought it because the count was not a walk but a full count.

The referee looked closely at the tablet PC and confirmed that it had three balls, and eventually brought Kim Young-woong home. Samsung manager Park Jin-man also came out, but he has no choice but to admit it. It was a mistake made when he posted a strike on his body on the electronic display with a ball on the second pitch.




Kim Young-woong, who entered the batter's box again, hit the eighth pitch but retired with a fly to left field.
