Why did you make a video review of the check swing, there was a good way.

There was no need to make a check swing video review. This is because I now know that if you apply for a foul, the umpires will check swing on their own. There is an urgent need for regulations to be supplemented.

The KIA Tigers suffered an unfair defeat against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 7th. We lost by a score of one to two. Park Chan-ho's pursuit solo shot exploded after two outs in the top of the ninth inning, but there was no further reversal.




Yoon Do-hyun's out process, which appeared earlier, was unclear. With one out and no runners, the ball thrown by Ryu Jin-wook from the opponent in 2B2S flew toward Yoon Do-hyun's body. Yoon Do-hyun stopped in vain. The ball fell back. The centripetal did not make any swing or foul decisions. Yoon Do-hyun, who was nervous about something when there was no decision, started running to first base. NC catcher Kim Hyung-joon threw the ball to first base after seeing that. The not-out situation was suddenly created. Yoon Do-hyun played in case his check swing was a swing and miss. Safe at first base.

However, NC applied for a video review. First of all, it was cross timing at first base. He also requested whether it was a foul or not. If it was a foul, it was based on the calculation that even if the safe decision was maintained at first base, it could prevent Yoon Do-hyun from getting on base and play again.

KBO introduced a check swing video review during this season. In other words, there was no way to reverse the decision as to whether the batter swung or not until then.




However, NC could not apply for a check swing review. According to regulations, the defensive team can apply for a check swing reading only when the center makes a North Wing declaration. At this time, there was no declaration of judgment from the referee. So even if Yoon Do-hyun's bat turned, there was no justification to judge it as a swing.

However, the judges, who received NC's request for a foul review, announced the video review result that Yoon Do-hyun swung and missed and was out, not safe at first base. It was a fatal mistake. The reading of the foul should be done only by looking at that part whether it was hit by the bat or not, not even Yoon Do-hyun's swing. The ball had to be the basic premise if it wasn't a foul, because the referee didn't make any decisions about the situation. That's not what NC asked for, but the umpires took NC's side on their own and caused tremendous damage to KIA.

KBO made an excuse based on the fact that the rule could be used as a video review of 'other's foul/wrong swing'. However, swing and miss here is not the concept of whether the batter's bat turned, but that the ball did not hit the bat.

It's a very cowardly excuse. In the meantime, most of the field teams and front offices did not even know if they were going to swing when they applied for a video review of the foul. Because I've never done that. If I had known this, there would have been no dispute over check swing. If it was ambiguous, you could apply for a foul video review.

There is no law that does not prevent similar situations from occurring again. To prevent this excuse, the regulations must be changed in more detail. As this situation occurs, I can't erase the feeling of mistaking it with the word "false swing" to prevent the aftermath. If the check swing reading is not possible, it should be clearly stated that the foul/false swing reading cannot lead to a conclusion about the swing.
