Umpire Lee Young-jae then ordered Hwang Dae-in to leave the game immediately. KIA head coach Kim Jong-guk and assistant coach Jin Gap-yong came onto the field to appeal, but there was no reversal.

It was Hwang Dae-in’s first ejection of the season due to a ball call, the first in his seven-season first team career.

Coach Kim Jong-kook said before the game on the 24th, “It was a protest against the strike call. Hwang Dae-in himself thought it was a ball, but it was called a strike,” explaining, “I wanted to go out and represent the player’s feelings.”

According to coach Kim Jong-guk, umpire Lee Young-jae repeatedly told him to take the bat three times. But Hwang ignored him and walked into the dugout.

“I think Hwang Dae-in thought for sure that the last pitch was a ball, and I think he did it (not listening to the umpire) as a protest,” Kim said.
