Kwak Bin (25, Doosan Bears) will be the first Doosan player to use PitchCom.

Kwak Bin will start an away game against the Lotte Giants at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 18th.

Since the 16th, the KBO League has introduced a device that can exchange signatures between catchers and pitchers.

KT Wiz actively used PitchCom, and Yang Hyun-jong wore it in the match against Samsung in Gwangju on the 17th. Kwak Bin will use it for the first time in Doosan.

Kwak Bin tried using PitchCom the previous day (17th). Kwak Bin "I didn't feel any inconvenience using it. Previously, we only exchanged signatures with catcher's sign and meet position, but I think I can concentrate better because I can hear intuitive signsThe use of pitchcom will be quite helpful if pitchclock is introduced because the time to send and receive signatures is definitely reduced. However, I thought it would take more time for the catchers who sign autographs to adapt than me (pitchers)" he said.

Kim Ki-yeon, who started the day as a starting catcher, also said that it is not difficult to use PeachCom.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said at the time of the introduction of PitchCom "I will not use it right away. The game is directly related to each ball in each game. I think it's natural to reduce the game time in the long run, but I'm not going to do it right away." However, Kwak Bin decided to respect the player's choice while adapting quickly.

On the other hand, Lotte starter Park Se-woong will not use Pitchcom. Regarding the use of PitchCom the day before, Park Se-woong said "It is not that he is not willing to use it. The advantage is that I can get an autograph even if I look elsewhere. However, I think we should think about what to do when the signs don't match each other" he said.

Information root, who works with Park Se-woong, "I think we can accurately know the pros and cons only when we use it in real life. I think I can use it comfortably when the signature is correct, and I think there will be difficulties when the signature is not correct. I think we need to find a way to use it efficiently" he said.

Although he expressed relatively positive intentions in terms of use, he decided to go out without breaking the routine for now.
