SSG, led by head coach Lee Soo-yong, fell into a six-game losing streak after losing 2-4 to Hanwha Eagles in Game 8 of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 25th. The season’s performance became 25 wins, 1 draw and 26 losses, and the winning rate (0.490) fell below 50%.
However, SSG’s idea is to leave the results of the game and point out the decision.
The situation in question occurred in the top of the sixth inning when the two teams were tied 1-1 with one out. The ball hit by Hanwha Chae Eun-sung was directed toward right field, and right fielder Ha Jae-hoon tried to make a diving catch. The initial decision was out.안전놀이터

Then, Hanwha’s bench immediately requested a video review, and the video review center determined that the ball landed on the ground. As the original trial was overturned, the referee relocated the runners to the first and second bases with one out.
Lee, who ran out of the dugout, said, “I can’t understand the relocation of runners,” and continued to protest for a while. Ultimately, the referee dismissed Lee. It is the first time Lee has been sent off since his inauguration.
“We will send an official letter to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) within the next 25 days,” an SSG official said after the game. “Hanwha first baseman An Chi-hong tried to return to the first base regardless of the referee’s decision to leave, and SSG fielders continued to play until the end to prepare for a possible reversal of the decision, and shortstop Park Sung-han stepped on the base. Nevertheless, please explain the situation in which runners were relocated to the first and second bases instead of making an out decision.”

“I ask for an explanation of the result that was different from the decision in the bottom of the eighth inning with one out during the game between SSG and LG Twins on September 21 last year,” he added. “At that time, the referee decided that Han Yu-seom, who was the first baseman, would have been out even if the ball hit the referee and became a pair, so he changed the bases loaded with one out to two outs and runners on first and third bases. Please explain whether Ahn Chi-hong, the first baseman, did not think it would be difficult to advance to second base again this time.”
What happened on Sept. 21 when the SSG mentioned it. With the bases loaded with one outs in the bottom of the eighth inning with LG’s 2-0 lead, SSG’s Park Sung-han hit first base umpire Woo Hyo-dong’s body, and Woo immediately raised his arms to take a foul action. However, after discussing for a while, the fourth trial gathered and said, “We asked for a video review on whether the pair was fair or foul at LG’s request.” To sum up the situation, the umpires declared a pair after the agreement of the fourth trial and immediately wanted a video review on LG’s bench.
The result did not come out for more than 10 minutes, and the video review center decided to maintain the original verdict. “Since the first baseman Han Yu-seom was on the base without running, Han Yu-seom was out and the third baseman was home-in,” the referee said. “The game will be played at the first and third bases with two outs.” Third baseman Guillermo Heredia scored.

Then, Kim Won-hyung, former SSG coach who was in the dugout, rushed out and strongly appealed. Han Yu-seom and Kim claimed that they did not run because the first base umpire had already declared a foul by spreading his arms. “We declared a fair because the ball passed by the first baseman’s mitts, and we were in a situation of in-play when we were judged,” KBO said through its SSG club. “The video review center decided that Han Yu-seom would not have reached second base even if the umpire declared a fair, so they ruled out.”
It was difficult for SSG, which had already experienced a similar thing last year, to understand the decision, and it is in a position to confirm it with KBO through official procedures.
Meanwhile, the SSG, which has lost six games in a row, is aiming for victory with Park Jong-hoon as the starting pitcher. The starting pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles is Felix Peña.
