The Korea Baseball Organization will introduce the automated ball-strike system next season.
The league will also adopt a pitch timer similar to one used by Major League Baseball.
\"The ABS system has accomplished a precision and consistency of ball-strike calls. We have also reduced the time it takes for the calls to be relayed to the umpires,\" the KBO said in a statement. \"By introducing the ABS to the KBO, it will ensure fair play for pitchers and hitters alike.\"
The KBO has used the Futures League, essentially its minor league, to refine ABS since 2020.
In June, Rob Manfred said ABS is not likely to used in the Major Leagues in 2024.
