2014~2016시즌 한국프로야구 심판 합의판정 분석

Abstract

This study aims to figure out if there is any significant difference depending on the subjects, time types of umpire agreed judgment calls made during the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Korean Professional Baseball leagues. Actual cases of judgment call were collected from the entire games over the past three years. There have been 109 calls out of 217 games in 2014, 408 calls from 720 games in 2015, and 709 calls out of 720 games in 2016. With Excel 2014, frequency analysis was carried out on the data and the results are as under.BR Firstly, it has been demonstrated that judgment calls were requested regardless of the time such as the beginning, the middle or the later part of games. Calls have a low chance of success in the middle and the end of games compared to the beginning. This means that bad calls were made more often in the beginning of games.BR second, out of the seven subjects which needed to make a judgment call in Korean baseball games, “out” or “safe” decisions were predominately requested at all the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons. It can be confirmed that the out or safe situation out of the seven call subjects has the greatest effect on games.BR In conclusion, the content of umpire agreed judgment calls made at Korean professional baseball games could be quantified through frequency analysis. These outcomes can be the basic data of various studies on judgment calls (video assistant referees system) to develop diverse subjects of further studies.
