Automatic Pitch Judgment System Pitch Tracking Success Rate 99.9%
The Automatic Pitching System (ABS), which will be officially introduced in the professional baseball regular league this year, is taking root smoothly in demonstration games.
The KBO secretariat announced on the 13th that the ABS pitch tracking success rate in the 19 demonstration games that started on the 9th and lasted until the 12th reached 99.9%.
ABS is a system that uses a tracking system to track the location value of a pitch and then the computer determines whether it is a strike or a ball. 카지노사이트탑
The ABS program uses cameras installed in each stadium to determine the trajectory of the ball thrown by the pitcher and then transmits the strike or ball decision as an audio signal to the referee wearing earphones.
The fact that the pitch tracking success rate is close to 100% means that the cameras installed in the stadium hardly missed the pitch trajectory.
The KBO Secretariat explained that pitch tracking failed in only a few cases, such as when the relay wire camera violated the tracking range while moving.
In these cases, the referee can consult with the ABS program representative or determine a strike or ball on his own.
Considering that it is difficult to achieve 100% success in tracking due to force majeure, such as sudden changes in weather and intrusion of foreign substances during the season, the KBO secretariat prepared a more thorough response manual in case of tracking failure and continued training of referees and ABS operating personnel to prevent adverse effects on the game progress.
He said he would do his best not to go crazy.
The KBO secretariat is implementing ABS, also known as 'robot referee', this year to encourage fair and consistent strike and ball decisions.
In addition, the KBO secretariat reported that the average game time was 2 hours and 35 minutes, 23 minutes shorter than last year, through a pilot operation of the pitch clock, which strictly measures pitchers' pitch intervals.
According to the pitch clock, the pitcher must throw the ball within 18 seconds when there are no runners and within 23 seconds when there are runners.
The batter must be ready to hit by the time the 8 second mark is reached.
If this is violated, the pitcher receives a ball and the batter receives a strike.
In 19 exhibition games, there were 85 cases of pitch clock violations, with pitchers violating it 38 times and batters violating it 46 times.
There was also one case of a catcher's violation.
