In particular, they shared in-depth conversations with CPBL, which has been officially operating the pitch clock since this year, and KBO, which has been operating the season with ABS.
After introducing the pitch clock this season (CPBL pitch clock rule - 20 seconds without runners, 25 seconds when runners are present) the game time has been reduced by an average of 20 minutes, and the number of violations has been very successful, recording an average of 0.3 times per game. I also expressed my deep interest in KBO's ABS and asked various questions about the operating system.
Meanwhile, Governor Chi Chang-Sai and President Hu Jie-Yeon shared opinions on various ways to expand exchanges, including revitalizing the KBO Education League and the CPBL-hosted Winter League and holding practice games between the two league clubs during spring camp.
In addition, they agreed that cooperation between Korea, Taiwan, and Japan is important in the globalization of baseball and the expansion of the base of baseball, and decided to share information on various issues of global baseball and cooperate with each other.
