The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO; Korean: 한국야구위원회) is the governing body for the professional leagues of baseball in South Korea. The KBO was founded in 1981 and has governed two leagues: the KBO League (Korean: KBO 리그) and KBO Futures League ((farm league) since 1982.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It is one of two major baseball governing bodies; the other is the Korea Baseball Association (Korean: 대한야구협회), which is the governing body for amateur baseball competitions.[6] [7] [8] [9]
