The secretariat of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) held a meeting with managers of 10 clubs, Kim Byung-joo, chairman of the judging committee, and Jin Chul-hoon, chairman of the recording committee, ahead of the KBO Media Day of the 2025 season held at Lotte Hotel World on the 20th.

At the meeting, the KBO secretariat discussed detailed enforcement rules related to pitch clock, where on-site opinions were raised that they needed to be supplemented during the exhibition game.

As a result of the discussion, from the opening game to be held on the 22nd, ▲ The batter's batting result after the pitcher's pitch clock violation is invalid ▲ The number of time requests is not included even if the batter at bat uses bat spray after swinging ▲ It will apply detailed rules such as warning measures if the pitcher intentionally delays the game by using the remaining time of pitch clock.

First of all, considering that if a pitcher violates the pitch clock, the ball is imposed immediately and becomes a ball dead, the batter's batting result is not recognized. Even if a pitcher violates the pitch clock and the batter connects the thrown ball to a home run, it becomes invalid and only one ball is imposed on the pitcher. 안전놀이터

The same rules apply when a batter or catcher violates the pitch clock.

In addition, if a batter uses bat spray immediately after a swing, the batter will not be included in the batter's per-bat time request (two times). However, if a pitcher leaves the batter's box after completing preparation for pitching, it is deemed that the batter used one time.

Finally, in order to be faithful to the purpose of introducing pitch clock, which is "providing exciting games by reducing unnecessary game time," the umpire can issue a warning or warning if a pitcher uses pitch clock to delay the game.
