Lee Seung-yup ejected after protesting video review

On September 10, 2024, Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop was ejected from a game against the Kiwoom Heroes at the Gocheok SkyDome in Seoul, South Korea, for protesting a video review. The game was played with runners on first and third in the bottom of the fifth inning, and a question was raised about an infield grounder by Byun Sang-kwon.

Doosan was trailing 0-4 when Byun Sang-kwon hit a ground ball and requested a video review of the contact between the runner and pitcher. The umpire's video review did not substantiate the three-foot rule, but Lee didn't accept it and walked off the field in protest. Ultimately, his protest led to his ejection.

Video replay rules and protest procedures are often controversial in the KBO. This is Lee's fourth ejection of the year, and it could have a negative impact on his credibility as a manager.

The need for innovation in video reading schemes

In the KBO, video replay is seen as a way to increase the transparency of the game, but the actual accuracy of the calls is still up for debate. In the case of Lee Seung-yup, he expressed his frustration when the call was upheld after he requested a video review. This is a sentiment shared by many coaches and fans alike. Emotional reactions from players and managers are inevitable when a referee's decision is upheld by video review.

Given the subjective nature of the video review process, there is a strong argument that the KBO should have a system in place to verify these decisions. To prevent cases like this one, clearer rules and communication are needed.

Conclusion

Lee Seung-yup's ejection highlights the limitations of the video replay system and the conflicts that can arise during games. These incidents are not just about individuals, but about the credibility of the KBO League as a whole and how it is run.

The manager's situation should be an opportunity for the KBO to reexamine its video replay system and make changes for the better.
