Analysis Summary
The core facts are right — KBO does use fully automated ABS with umpires receiving calls in earpieces, no challenges involved. But the post skips some context: this model isn't KBO-exclusive (the Atlantic League tested it first in 2019), and most other leagues have moved toward challenge systems instead. Good factual accuracy, though the framing suggests something unusual about KBO when it's actually more experimental than mainstream.
