(Sports Seoul | Sajik = Park Yeon -jun) KIA Lee Bum -ho (44) was eventually sent off after protesting the video reading results.

Lee Bum -ho was sent off at the end of the 6th round of the 2025 KBO League Lotte held at Sajik Stadium on the 26th.

The situation was like this. Lotte Ko Seung -min bundles in the third base in the first base. The pitcher Lee Do -hyun, who caught the ball, quickly sent it to first base, but the result is safe.

Hwang Sung -bin, who was the first runner during the situation, ran to third base. KIA first baseman Byun Woo -hyuk found it and immediately sent it to third base. The third baseman Patrick Wisdom tagged Hwang Sung -bin.

However, regardless of the tag, he was judged to be safe. The referee judged that Wisdom interrupted the base during the defense process. The video reading continued. The result has not been reversed.

Then Lee Bum -ho came out of the dug out. He continued to protest against the referee. According to the KBO regulations, if the video reading results are protested, they will be exited. Accordingly, the director was ordered.

According to KIA officials, Lee Bum -ho protested to the referee, “Isn’t it part of a natural connection operation in the transmission process, not a defense disturbance.” duswns0628@sportsseoul.com
