Due to ABS, the world's first robot referee in this season, controversy over strike-ball decisions has disappeared among fans. Players have different opinions that ABS is applied to different stadiums, but fans seem to acknowledge ABS' decision given that the same criteria apply to both teams.

It is not easy to judge whether the ABS has put pitchers at an advantage or disadvantage. Pitchers' contrast was determined by how well they used ABS' strike zone.

However, sidearm pitchers throwing sideways this season were not as good as last year. The ERA has increased significantly.

KT Wiz's Ko Young-pyo's ERA rose sharply from 2.78 last year to 4.95, and FA Um Sang-baek, who won 13 games this year and moved to Hanwha Eagles for up to 7.8 billion won, also rose from 3.63 last year to 4.88 this year.

Kia's Lim Ki-young has deteriorated significantly from 2.96 last year to 6.31 this year.

The same was true of Park Myung-keun in his second year at LG. The figure increased to 6.39 this year from 5.08 last year.

Side-arm pitchers have one thing in common: they don't strike outside balls. Side-arm pitchers often throw outside balls, but the ball that was used as a strike until last year became a ball in ABS, putting the count fight at a disadvantage. In the ABS system of the KBO League, strike zones are formed in three dimensions and are recognized as strikes only when they pass through both the front and rear zones. However, in the case of side-arm pitchers, as they enter the zone after falling outside, they often fail to wear the front zone and only wear the back zone, which is often a ball rather than a strike.

Park Myung-geun also said he had a hard time because of the ABS zone. "The referee sometimes asked me, 'Your ball seems to be a strike, but all the balls come out,'" he said. "I was confused because they didn't hold the ball that can be a strike from my point of view. As a result, I felt the outside has become narrower than before."

However, due to ABS, balls that seemed to be balls often turned into strikes, and in the case of high-speed balls, they were especially recognized as strikes. However, Park Myung-geun said, "Of course, a body ball or a high ball that used to be held by a ball in the past became a strike, but for a sidearm pitcher, the most confident course is to throw a strike to the outside. That doesn't make a strike, so I felt like the ball I was going to throw when I had to catch a strike was gone."

However, throwing a high-speed ball is not easy either. Depending on the type of pitch, the ball goes from bottom to top, which can get caught by batters' bats. Also, balls that fit the body can come out, and if a player goes further, he or she can rush to the center and allow big balls. As a sidearm pitcher, he or she has to watch from the outside.

If the zone is the same again next year, it may not be easy for a side-arm pitcher. After all, he has to throw according to the zone. "I keep thinking about ABS zone during practice," Park said. "So I kept checking as a track man and trying to feel how much strike I could throw."

Park, 먹튀검증 who failed to throw the full season due to injury for two consecutive years, vowed to make a "professional player's body" this winter for next season. Park's direction in the 2025 season is that he will make sure to build his body and find a way to survive.
