Does it affect the major league?U.S. University Baseball introduces a helmet with earpiece.

　The other day, I watched a US university baseball game.

　A coach on the bench is talking about something like an old mobile phone.When he was wondering what he was, the next moment, the screen was divided into two, reflecting the coach and catcher at the same time.The coach talked to the catcher wearing a helmet that could receive voice and instructed the ball.

　The website of the NCAA National Sports Association has shown that the catcher has introduced the ball type instructions from the coach through the earpiece.This season, it will be applied only by South Eastern Conference.

　By the way, South Eastern Conference is literally a conference consisting of universities in the southeastern United States.The Bander Build University, who produced the David Price (Red Socks) of the Syan Prize (Best Pitcher), and the Alcanso University of the Syan Prize pitcher Dallas Kaquel (Astros), are also named.

　Why did the coach's instructions from the bench come to receive the helmet earpiece?

　NCAA is trying to speed up the game, and the New York Times electronic version on June 23, 2017 tells the background in detail.

　U.S. university baseball catchers often look into pitcher coaches on the bench for each ball and receive signs to instruct ball types.Moreover, the catcher is not just signed by the bench and immediately signs the pitcher.The number of cards with a numbered card is attached, and the signs from the bench are composed with the code number, and the pitcher is signing.This wristband is similar to what is attached to the quarterback tower of American football.It is also on the market.

　Repeating such a signature will make the match time longer.The average match time of the College World Series, which determines the first university in the United States in 2016, is 3 hours and 5 minutes.The average of the series in 2015 was 3 hours and 20 minutes.

　In the summer of 2017, there were two ways to reduce the time to signal exchanges.

　One is to leave all the balls to the battery without signs from the coach.

　The other is to receive instructions through the earpiece attached to the helmet, rather than receiving the ball instructions from the bench.The South Eastern Conference's Rule Committee adopted the latter.

　It seems that the catcher receiving instructions from the coach has not been in the last few years, but in US university baseball for many years.According to the New York Times, some universities do not sign the ball type from the bench, but they are minorities.It seems that some coaches leave the lead to catchers only when the game is developed with a certain point difference.

　The major league catcher does not look into the bench for each ball.However, it is undeniable that the players on the bench and ground will communicate in the bench and ground in the future.

　The major league Manfred Commissioner has been driven to shorten the time of match time.

　In 2017, he introduced a declaration of declaration that would be shunned simply by declare without throwing four balls.This season, the leaders, catchers, and fielder could go to the mound other than pitcher change.

　In the major leagues, some catchers wear wristbands that wrote numbers, like American football quarterbacks and university baseball catchers.It is no wonder that catchers and coaches stop going to the mound for communication with the pitcher, and instead use headphones and microphone headsets to exchange.By all means, aside from the good and evil, it will be possible to balance data and shorten time.

　Until last season, Joe Girardi, the director of the Yankees, suggested that he had a headset on the batter's helmet during his director's era.The idea is that the batter can remove the bat and reduce the time to check the signature.Sign stealing problems may also be resolved.

　Not only Girardi.The official website of the major league on April 21 last year reported that Rocks's Black expects headsets like NFL US Pro -American football to be introduced in the major league.

　In 1994, the headset was first used in NFL Pro -American football.

　If all of the signs and direct conversations in the major leagues are all about in the headset, baseball games will be new trends.The method of deriving the optimal solution from the data and the competition over its speed will intensify.Athletes may be able to instantly understand data and instructions and output them as performance.

　The university baseball South Eastern Conference league match will end in about two weeks.Has the earpiece on the catcher's helmet, like NFL's quarterback, helped to save time?Did you bring some change?It will be summarized this summer.
