PeachCom No. 1 user's impressions "It's more convenient than the U.S. machine, and it's more disadvantageous to hitters..."I'm writing again"

KBO League PeachCom No. 1 user expressed satisfaction. On-site opinions are gathering that it could be a big deal if it is used right away, but there is a possibility that more players will take on bold challenges.
KBO distributed two sets of pitchcoms to each club on the 15th.
Pitchcom is a device that allows players to easily exchange signatures by pressing a button. For now, the controversy over stealing autographs can disappear, and the time to exchange autographs unnecessarily can be reduced, which can also be expected to shorten the game time.
PeachCom became an issue earlier this year. KBO tried to introduce the pitch clock along with ABS this season. However, it faced backlash from the site, and eventually decided to officially implement it next year after a trial operation this year. In the process, Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha), who has a lot of experience in the U.S. Major League Baseball, argued that it is necessary to introduce pitchcom like the U.S. to play pitch clock. When Ryu Hyun-jin said this, public opinion was created that it was necessary to introduce pitchcom right away.
In the end, KBO prepared the pitchcom in a hurry and made it available from the game on the 16th. However, in the field, there were many opinions that it would be difficult to use immediately, saying that sudden changes are burdensome at a time when one win and one win are important. Of course, there was a case of Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon who responded enthusiastically, saying, `We write right away.'

The most important thing is a pitcher and a catcher. Benjamin became the winning pitcher by pitching six ⅓ innings of one run. At least Pitchcom didn't get in the way. Benjamin has experience using PitchCom when he was on the Chicago White Sox Triple-A team in 2022. That's why it was so convenient to use it "It was more convenient to have an English version receiver. It was more convenient than the machine used in the United States," he added.
Benjamin continued "Thanks to Peachcom, I was able to take the tempo quickly, which helped me with my pitching. The advantage is that you can only care about the batter, not the runner." Pitchers have no choice but to care that the runner on the floor steals the sign, but they don't have to think about it, so they can focus more on pitching.
Benjamin continued "I think it's going to be disadvantageous because I don't give other people time to think relatively. I think I will continue to use it in the future."
I was also curious about the reaction of catcher Jang Sung-woo, who directly pressed the transmitter, but Jang Sung-woo refused the interview because he was dissatisfied with his performance against Kiwoom.
