<Reporter> The

referee Lee Yong-hyuk surprised everyone with a sharp and accurate decision yesterday (16th) in Jamsil.

As soon as the catcher got the ball, he took action without hesitation, and the batters and pitchers alternated, creating a disgruntled expression, but the referee Lee Yong-hyuk's decision was almost identical to the broadcaster's strike zone.

[Lee Yong-hyuk/KBO Judge: As he gains experience in the 2nd or 1st group, his zone is formed. I am trying to see as close as possible to the formation of my zone.]

Judge Lee Yong-hyuk, a college player, was born in the first baseball referee school established by KBO in 2009 to systematically train referees, and is now five years in his first career.

In the meantime, I have been plagued by controversy over the judgment, but I gradually improved and improved accuracy.

[Lee Yong-hyuk/KBO Judge: I'm really focusing on each ball, researching and asking, and progressing little by little as I do it.]

This year, while the controversy of judging stands out, the referee Lee's computer-like decision is fresh among fans. It is becoming a hot topic.

[Lee Yong-hyuk/KBO Referee: I want to be a referee who can gain trust in players, fans, and doug-out wherever they can get the most trust.]
