Absolute on the Mound

1.

For those who like baseball, winter is Stobrig season.

It's a season where everyone literally gathers in the fireplace and blooms about baseball and waits for spring to come.

Baseball as a society makes no difference.

No, the more you play baseball as a hobby, the more you have to watch out for winter.

It is a matter of steel swords that have been practicing for over a decade and glasses that have been stuck in cigarettes for over a decade. It is a matter of not having to think about what can withstand the cold wind better.

“Oh! I love a baseball field. ”

“Hey, did we rent this place out today? ”

“There's no game after us, so it's practically a rental. ”

That's why.

It's not a competition, and a big match is more than just a friendly match for two small businesses with a baseball team, which can be played on a pretty reasonable baseball field.

As we entered the winter, the baseball team, a society that plays baseball, decreased, making it easy to book a baseball field.

“Yes, baseball should be in a place like this. ”

After all, the Black Tigers and the Red Eagles were excited about two teams running on the right field.

In addition to those athletes, there was another excited one.

Wow, that's amazing.

Kim Jin-ho.

He stood on Lee Jin-yong's head and stared around the baseball field.

Equipment is professional, everyone.

Of course, the admiration was more about the equipment that began to crumble around this baseball field than about the baseball field.

Is baseball popular these days? A hobbyist baseball equipment is almost the same as a major league.

“Thanks to Kim Jinho for playing WBC. ”

What? I'm sorry.

“In 2006 World Baseball Classic, Kim Jin-ho smashed up the American team. Baseball, a society, grew up. ”

Is that so?

“Thanks to this, there are more than 10 billion athletes who receive FA in KBO today. ”

How much?

“10 billion.”

10 billion from KBO to FA?

“Yes.”

It looks like Korean baseball has become great. On average 2.5 billion dollars a year, that's 2.5 million dollars, which is something that growers in the Major League can get for their 25 Roasters.

“Domestic taxes are also paid by the local government. It's a rumor.”

Really? Taxes are on the table?

“Net guaranteed amount with no options there. Rumor has it they're backing us up even more. In the Major League, it's four million dollars a year on average. There are no agents here. ”

The world is going crazy. Well, some people suddenly have game windows and ghosts.

Lee Jin-yong sighed, leaving surprised Kim Jin-ho behind.

White steam flows from his mouth for a long time.

‘This is real. ’

Along with his breath, his memories began to flow in Jin Dragon's head for several days.

On December 12, I met the ghost of Kim Jin-ho, who died 10 years ago with the baseball manager.

After spending a few days, Lee Jin-yong realized that what he saw was real.

That was the problem.

Reality is reality.

What do we do? ’

A surprising thing happened, but on the contrary, Jin Yong could not just be happy about it.

As it was a reality, I began to worry about reality.

Do I have to play baseball again? ’

The problems we face right now are nothing but our future.

He certainly had an amazing ability.

You're here now? ’

However, Lee Jin-yong was only a layman who had not played baseball properly once in six years.

Fastball confinement is barely more than 100 kilometers per hour, with varying spheres but Manna levels, and a physical strength discharge when thrown about 40 feet from the mount with power.

Of course, training hard will increase speed and limit helmets, but even so, the performance achieved through the training also had to be hit quickly.

After all, Lee Jin-yong was a pitcher without rats.

He didn't have a sparkle, so he ended up a pro baseball player.

‘I failed then, but will it be different now? ’

That was decisive.

If he had played a professional baseball player, he wouldn't have even bothered.

There's only baseball we can do, and there's only baseball we can catch.

However, for Lee Jin-yong now, baseball was just a small world sport.

‘Will that do? ’

That's why I was afraid.

‘Even if I could, when? ’

The fact that it might fail again.

It was given to me right away.

Game system, great ability. Earn points and spin the wheel to increase stats.

But how do I get that point?

I don't know

If you play baseball, you can get a vague guess, but if you play baseball, you don't know how many points you can get.

In order to achieve something so vague, could Lee Jin-yong give up her life barely in orbit?

‘Fuck, if I can. ’

If they ask you if you want to, you will say yes.

But what you can't say you want to do, that's the reality.

Jin-yong.

Lee Jin-yong sighed in front of the agony and heard Kim Jin-ho's voice.

“What else? ”

Do they come out with accessories these days?

“What? ”

That one.

Kim Jinho points with his finger over the heads of the athletes who began to unwind in the ground with his horse.

Then I could see the dual purpose.

Nowadays, you can float numbers translucently over people's heads. Amazing, the world has changed so much in 10 years.

The numbers above the players' heads.

2.

‘3 points, 4 points, 2 points · · · · · · · ·. ’

Lee Jin-yong, who weighed the points above the players' heads one by one, looked at Kim Jin-ho.

Kim Jin-ho, who can see the same things as herself, said as if she was upset with Lee Jin-yong's gaze.

It gives me a general feeling. If you catch those players over there, you'll get that point. It looks like this.

“1,000 points to spin the wheel once. So that's 250 four-point typewriters. There are 21 out counts you can catch by throwing 7 innings per game, so you have to play 12 and jump one game a week · · · · ·. ”

Lee Jin-yong, who was talking to herself, stopped talking.

Then he wrapped his hands around his face.

Damn it!

I was looking forward to a date just looking at the pictures, and it turns out it was a photo shop.

Kim Jin-ho was very clear about the feelings of Jin Yong Lee.

Lee Jin-yong didn't answer.

Kim Jin-ho smiled at him like that.

Asshole, did you really think you could get 100 points for a bunch of social baseball guys? You think you can level up a social baseball game and go straight to the Major League and fight some kids like Barry Bones or Arod?

“Even if I go to the Major League right now, I can't stand them. Both retired. ”

Yeah? Well, who'd like to run Fogholds these days?

“Yes, jump. ”

Leveling up in a society baseball and going straight to the major leagues and kids like Fogholds.

At that moment, Lee Jin-yong immediately cut off Kim Jin-ho's words.

“I didn't think it would be so hard from the start. ”

That's what it's all about. I had a hard time with baseball at first, too. Especially after I graduated from high school with my blood on my hands. How hard was it to go to the Major League? I only won 20 in the first season of the Major League.

“Shut up. ”

Just kidding. Just kidding. Anyway, let's be positive. You can spin the wheel a couple times a year in a society baseball, right? And, of course, would it be a social baseball election, or would it be a Korean pro baseball player, or would it be a first-class player with a higher point?

At that moment, Kim Jinho shouted as if he had found something.

He's 100 points.

In saying that, Lee Jin-yong quickly raised her head.

Then I could also see Lee Jin-yong.

Wearing a thick baseball jump in a corner of the ground, pressing down on the hat quietly, but the number 100 on the head of a man stretching deeply.

It's real.

At that moment, Lee Jin-yong's eyes flashed.

I realized at the same time.

“· · · · · Why is a 100-point social baseball game in a friendly neighborhood that is also a three-point league? ”

Strange things are happening here.

3.

When you watch baseball on TV, the pitcher on the mount throws a 130-kilometer ball and looks slow.

However, if you look at the 130-kilometer ball that the pitcher throws standing on the threshing floor in real life, you will realize that it is never slow.

The same goes for hits.

If you see a batter in a batter's seat dancing with a wooden swing of a 130-kilometer straight through, it's a real bummer, but if you look at the proper swing that the opponent can show you at the baseball game, the professional level, and the one that can make a home run at any time, it's never a bummer.

Black Tigers did.

Whoo-hoo!

“Swing, Stri ~ Khh! ”

The same sound came from the mouths of the players on the bench of Black Tigers, as soon as the bat came out of the air with a sound of a strike call.

“Ouch. ”

Lee Jin-yong also said the same thing.

Kim Jin-ho, who was sitting next to him, attached an explanation to Lee Jin-yong.

Good form. And power. I don't know what level of Korean pro baseball is right now, but those powers can definitely make a home run. Physical appeal, above all. He's about 188 centimeters tall, weighing 100 kilograms, inside and out. Flexibility is good. Well, it's not just about being a professional, but it's not about being a professional. No, it's classy on a Korean pro baseball level. Based on Korean professional baseball I know.

In the attachment, Lee Jin-yong muttered to himself.

“If you're going to be a pro, you have to be a pro. You have to be a pro. You have to be a pro. ”

Hey, speak up. I can't hear you.

Then someone shouted.

“Damn, that's the guy from the college baseball league who took a triple slam! ”

Everyone turned their heads to say that, and when they looked at one place, the focused one continued.

“I took a short baseball break because of the injuries, but I hear he's going to be running for the Cat Stars next year! ”

“Cat Stars? Cat Starz, the Independence Hall? ”

“Huh."

“You got three professionals out there last year. ”

“Huh."

“Isn't joining there practically professional level? ”

“Red Eagles, you sons of bitches! I can't believe you're not running for office and going pro! ”

The ambience of the bench begins to get muddled.

At that moment.

Baaak!

A loud sound silences the crowd as if lightning had struck down an old tree.

Everyone turns to the ground for that sound.

Then they can see one of the parasails going over the fence.

The third batsman in the Red Eagles, Park Jun-hyung, was the moment when he hit the home run in a row today.

Hey, boss sees you.

At that moment, Jin Yong intuited.

‘Oh, fuck. ’

that he has to deal with that monster today.
