Professional Baseball KIA Cancellation of the Most 17 Game Due to Rainfall, NC can't play 10 games at home

Due to the rainy season and typhoons, the operation of the professional baseball regular league in 2023 was also disrupted.

A professional baseball game was held only at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, the only dome stadium in the country, on the 10th when Typhoon Kanun, which moved northward, penetrated South Korea from north to south, and was canceled at four stadiums due to ground conditions and rain.

This year, the number of games canceled due to rain or fine dust or declared a no-game after the start of the game increased to 58.

As the number of canceled games increased, the KBO secretariat decided to organize canceled games on Monday if they cannot play on the weekend from the 5th.

If another typhoon comes up soon, Monday's game could come true.

The KIA Tigers failed to play 17 games, the most. The total number of games played in the season so far was only 90, 14 games less than the Kiwoom Heroes (104 games).

The NC Dinos have canceled 10 games in Changwon, their home turf.

If there are many remaining home games, it will be good for NC, but the reorganization game schedule itself to be announced later is irregular, so teams that have to go to NC or Changwon, which is quite far away from travel, will feel burdened.

The club with the least number of canceled games is Kiwoom (3 games), which uses Gocheok Dome as its home, and KT Wiz and Samsung Lions, which played 10 games less, are also among the few.

According to a KBO secretariat official, the regular league is expected to end around October 14, shortly after the Hangzhou Asian Games, assuming that no more games will be canceled in the future.

The postseason schedule, which runs from the wild card series to the Korean series, will end on November 10. We need to see the weather situation, but we cannot avoid "early winter baseball" this year, not "fall baseball."

KBO game management committee members and referees who decide to cancel the game, as well as the KBO secretariat, have been trying to thoroughly check the stadium drainage facilities since the beginning of the season to proceed with the game as much as possible.

However, as local heavy rain, concentrated heavy rain, and "extreme heavy rain" became frequent due to abnormal weather conditions, situations that could not be helped by human power often occurred.

The KBO Secretariat is also considering moving the opening of the regular league to the end of March next year in order to properly respond to climate change and play well in the scheduled international competitions. 토토사이트

The move is aimed at playing more games in March and May, when the weather is better than in the rainy summer, to proceed with the schedule leisurely.
