The pitch clock of professional baseball, which was piloted last year, will be officially introduced this year.

Pitchers must pitch or check within 20 seconds when there is no runner and 25 seconds when there is, and batters must enter the batter's box within 33 seconds.

Over time, the ball is added to the pitcher and the strike is added to the batter.

The impact on pitchers is much greater, and in general, game time is expected to decrease and stolen bases are expected to increase.

In ABS, the automatic ball determination system introduced last season, the strike zone is lowered by 0.6%p.

For batters who are 180cm tall, you should set 1cm lower.

In judo, effective scoring will reappear in eight years.

Even if it is not a perfect skill at the level of one round or half, you can get points, so more active game management is expected.

The Badminton Association's rules for participating in international competitions, triggered by Ahn's revelation at the Paris Olympics, will also change.

Even if you are not a member of the national team, there are no restrictions on participating in international competitions, and it is possible for national players to participate in overseas leagues at their own expense.
