Despite the opponent's coach's protest, the team continues to check...KIA's new competitor appears

"With a strong welcoming ceremony for 10K, KBO's first debut."

Kia Sanchez started the game against KT in the "2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League" held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the afternoon of the 9th.

Sanchez made a strong impression with a quality start with five hits (one home run), 10 strikeouts, and one run in 6.1 innings. With Sanchez's good pitching, Kia also won 5-1, winning five consecutive games.

At the beginning of the game, KT hitters had a hard time with Sanchez's double-kick movement. Appealing to the movement of lifting the left leg twice during the pitching process, the referee accepted it and warned that if another double kick comes out, he will judge it with a ball.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim Sang-soo hit a hit in front of the right fielder against Sanchez and got on base. Sanchez, who knows he has fast feet, throws two check balls to first base in a row.

Commentator Park Jae-hong, who was in charge of the commentary, also said, "I saw it for the first time." He entered the set position after making a check fake move by bending and bleeding his left knee at first base with two outs. First baseman Kim Sang-soo flinched. Sanchez then twisted to first base and immediately checked.

Since then, KT manager Lee Kang-chul has appealed to the referees, saying there is a problem with Sanchez's check movement. Sanchez looked at coach Lee Kang-chul and the referee with a puzzled look on his face and continued the game with the conclusion that there was no problem with the check movement.

When the game was played, Kia Sanchez threw two consecutive checks toward first base as if determined, and boos and cheers shook the stadium in the stands of both teams.
