On the 24th, coach Lee was sent off for protesting the decision after the referee’s video review before the end of the 6th inning against KIA, and then ordered the players to withdraw from the ground.
At that time, the situation was as follows.
At the beginning of the 6th inning, when KT was losing 1-3, Ahn Chi-young hit right field with 2 outs on 1st and 2nd base, and Moon Sang-cheol, who was on 2nd base, stepped on 3rd base and ran home.
KIA right fielder Na Seong-beom, who caught the batted ball, threw it home, but the referee declared it safe as Moon Sang-cheol’s hand, which had slid, was quick.
However, through the video review requested by KIA, the centrifuge was overturned and out, and the inning ended as it was.
Coach Lee was sent off for protesting against the referee on the ground, but the situation turned violent when he could not hold back his excitement and ordered the withdrawal of the team. A few minutes later, the KT team returned to the game as usual and the situation was over, but it was a mistake to order the team to withdraw in front of many fans.
Afterwards, the KBO issued a warning to Lee on the 27th. He continued, “If there is a recurrence of acts that hinder the smooth operation of the game in the future, we will be punished severely.”
It was not an actual disciplinary action such as a game suspension, but it was a measure to prevent similar situations from occurring in 10 clubs, including KT.
Coach Lee said, “I accept” the KBO’s actions ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park.
Director Lee explained, “I was told that the words I spit out in anger were the reason for (disciplinary), but I admit the rule. At the time, the game was important, so I shouldn’t have been sent off, but a regrettable situation came out.”
After coach Lee’s interview, a KT official added, “The coach requested that the video review for the home collision prevention be repeated separately from the video review for the out and safe judgment, but the referee had already conducted the video review for the home collision part, but the review for this He declared that he was leaving because he thought the protest was unjustified. The manager also said that he accepts it.”
Meanwhile, KT sent rookie outfielder Jung Joon-young to the second team that day and called in outfielder Jo Yong-ho who returned from injury.
Hanwha, facing KT, called up new foreign hitter Nick Williams and pitchers Park Jun-young and Park Ji-soo at once.
