Designed by an MIT physicist, this bat concentrates mass in the sweet spot (the optimal point where the ball is struck without vibration), allowing batters to strike the ball more accurately.\u003cbr\u003e In this process, the analysis of hitting data revealed that the actual hitting point was closer to the wrist than the existing sweet spot, and the attempt to redistribute mass demonstrated the fusion of sabermetrics and physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe climate crisis is shaking\u003cbr\u003e Robots reorganize\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Researcher Nam Jong-young's \"The Climate Ball Era is Coming\" explains how climate change is changing baseball. \u003cbr\u003eEven die-hard baseball fans will find it interesting to hear research showing that the hotter it gets, the lower the air density, leading to more home runs, or that when temperatures exceed 35 degrees Celsius, the rate of umpire errors increases by 5.5%.\u003cbr\u003e In the future, dome stadiums are expected to increase in Korea, including the SSG Landers' Cheongna Dome Stadium and the remodeled Jamsil Dome Stadium. However, it is noteworthy that the contradiction that dome stadiums are both a climate adaptation measure and a source of greenhouse gas emissions was pointed out, and alternatives were sought by introducing fan-led climate action movements such as 'K-Bopple.'\u003cbr\u003e The insight that baseball is not just a sport, but can be a platform for experiencing climate change and sparking action is striking.\u003cbr\u003e Daegu MBC commentator Song Min-gu's book, \"Robot Umpires: The Corruption or Evolution of Baseball?\", provides an easy-to-understand explanation of why the ABS (Automatic Pitch Judgment System), which will be introduced to Korean professional baseball for the first time in the world in 2024, was necessary and how it works. \u003cbr\u003eIt also provides a balanced treatment of the technical aspects and philosophical implications of ABS adoption.\u003cbr\u003e It excels in capturing specific changes, such as data showing a spike in error rate of 11.2% in leveraged situations, the end of catcher framing, and the evolution of nibbling strategies. While explaining the operating principles of the PTS system, it candidly acknowledges its technical limitations, such as the inability to reflect individual batters' stances. The book also highlights the gap between human intuition and data through the \"edge case\" debate.\u003cbr\u003e The insight that “baseball has evolved from a ‘sport that includes human error’ to a ‘sport that competes solely on human skill’” and the concern that the introduction of technology could undermine the essence of baseball go beyond simple praise of technology and offer a profound reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbsolute balance between sense and data\u003cbr\u003e Interview with Hanwha Eagles retired number Jeong Min-cheol\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt contains an interview with Jeong Min-cheol, a former Hanwha Eagles legendary pitcher, former coach, and current MBC Sports Plus commentator.\u003cbr\u003e Having acquired both a feel for the mound and data-driven strategies, he stated in an interview that baseball has rapidly changed from experience-based to data-driven since the 2010s with the introduction of cutting-edge equipment like TrackMan and Rapsodo.\u003cbr\u003e He experienced subtle variables like humidity and thread during his playing days, and achieved results with data-based defensive shifts during his time as a general manager. However, he emphasized the balance between past statistics and on-field experience, saying, “Data is from yesterday, and we have to trust today’s players.”\u003cbr\u003e He emphasizes that “humility to constantly learn without jumping to conclusions” is especially important in both baseball and science.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn addition, Episode 33 features a special lecture at KAIST by former Constitutional Court Justice Moon Hyung-bae, which sheds light on the relationship between science and law, and an interview with mathematician Jeong Jae-hoon, who composed traditional Korean music using artificial intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e Through this, we deeply illuminate the meaning created by the intersection of different fields such as science, law, and art. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 1, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 pages | 115*180*30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9772586200334\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25862006 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43892195655722,"sku":"133154","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/0cdd91110408c7d1a04567d3396e2807.jpg?v=1765355508","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/133154","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
