왜 야구 벤치는 지면보다 낮을까 - '더그아웃'의 어원과 설계 사상
The baseball bench is called a 'dugout,' literally meaning 'dug out.' Why is baseball the only sport where the team bench sits below field level? The answer involves spectator sightlines, player safety, and 19th-century stadium design.
왜 포수만 관중과 같은 방향을 바라보는가
9명의 수비수 중 8명은 홈 플레이트를 향한다. 오직 포수만이 반대 방향, 즉 투수 쪽을 바라보며 홈 플레이트 뒤 관중과 같은 시점을 공유한다. 이 역방향 배치가 포수를 야구에서 가장 독특한 포지션으로 만든다.
왜 타자는 '등을 돌리고' 1루로 달리는가 - 타구를 보지 않고 달리는 불가사의
When a batter hits a ground ball and sprints to first, they run without watching where the ball went. Baseball is the only sport where players run away from their own play. Why? The answer is built into the field's geometry.
야구 선수는 경기 중 대부분 왼쪽을 향하고 있다 - 우타석·1루 방향·반시계 방향의 구조적 편향
Watch a baseball game from above and you'll notice players spend a disproportionate amount of time facing left. Right-handed batters face left, runners circle counterclockwise, and fielders orient leftward tracking batted balls. Baseball is structurally a leftward-facing sport.
왜 야구 베이스 간격은 27.43미터인가 - 90피트라는 기적의 거리
The distance between bases is 90 feet (27.43 meters), unchanged since the 1840s. One meter longer and infield hits would vanish. One meter shorter and ground-ball outs would nearly disappear. Ninety feet is the miraculous equilibrium where human running speed and throwing speed are perfectly balanced.
야구 글러브는 왜 한 손에만 끼는가 - 양손으로 잡는 게 더 안전할 텐데
Baseball players wear a glove on only one hand. Two gloves would make catching easier, so why not? 'Because you need to throw' is only half the answer. The real reason is embedded in baseball's fundamental motion design.
