Absolute on the Mound
3. Trial Out (3).
6.
Trial to recruit new players for the 2017 season at Goyang Stars.
Players weren't the only ones on this triathlon.
“There's no such thing as a potential player. It all sucks."
The 10 pro baseball scouts who are currently part of Korea's pro baseball team were also among the participants on the trial.
“They all are. If there was a really good player, I would have signed him as a boot camp. ”
“Of course.”
Of course, few of the scouts were present on their own.
Rather than having the pleasure of digging up pearls in the mud, aren't you working in the club? I don't want to be fired.
For this reason, most people were present.
Of course, the faces of those watching the triangulation process were gloomy.
“That's the player you can count on. ”
Their interest had naturally shifted to one of the cats who had performed well with Seoul Angels II a few days ago.
“You mean Park Jun-hyung? ”
“He needs to be. Shit, I should've caught him last year. ”
Joon-hyung Park.
He had never been on a pro stage, but he was already a scout of the pro guild.
“It's clear that Park Joon's power is not an Oriental scale. All you need is experience. ”
“The problem is the contract. I heard you wanted a side agreement to guarantee a week's march. ”
“I never expected a player to use running in the Independence League as a freelance contract because it was guaranteed before the week began. ”
“That's why I refused to sign a brotherhood contract and stayed in the Independence League. Goat Starz is playing 30 games with the Future League team this time, so if you show them what you're capable of, they'll pay for themselves. ”
“Before Angels on the 16th, you had a three-two home run, right? ”
At the same time, Park Jun-hyung was more free than any other player.
You can run in the pros right now, and if you want, Joon-Hyung Park, who is qualified to contract with any division, is actually no different from the player in the FA.
Moreover, side agreements in Korean pro baseball were everyday things that could be seen everywhere.
10 billion contracts with players under the FA contract, but 12 billion won on side contracts, or a 4 year contract and 4 year annual salary guaranteed to non-freelancers players even though only 1 year contracts could be made.
Weekend protection was a very small level of contract compared to that.
“Too bad. I should have taken it out of Draft a long time ago. ”
“Bite.”
Scouts got a taste for it.
Then someone said,
“By the way, Park Jun opponent of the triangle player is here today? ”
Everyone responded.
“Who is it?”
“Was the name Lee Jun Yong · · · · · · · ·. ”
“Is it Lee Jun-yong or the election? ”
“I don't know. I've never heard that name before. ”
“Even if you're lucky, you can't be easily beaten by Park Joon-hyung even if you're beaten by a Triangle or an Outer Triangle. ”
It was then.
“The white war has begun. ”
“Who are the pitchers coming up from the blue team when the white team attacked? ”
“Let's see · · · · · · · · · The name is Lee Jin-yong? ”
At that moment, the scouts tilt their heads.
And one of the guys I told you about just now said,
“Jinyong Lee, that's the name. ”
7.
Major leagues are tough.
There is no reason to grant a worthy nickname to a pitcher just for throwing a powerful ball.
Howling at the mere oriental pitcher, Major League looks beyond the shouting and arrogance.
Nevertheless, Kim Jin-ho was nicknamed the ruler of the Major League.
Kim Jinho proved that he is not just a pitcher who throws a powerful ball, but a pitcher who rules baseball.
Who is better at baseball than anyone else.
That was Kim Jin-ho.
Remember all the advice I gave you?
“I've had so much honest advice, I've forgotten most of it. ”
Yeah, that's what matters. You can barely learn a thing or two by teaching me ten.
Of course, Kim Jin-ho knew better than anyone what Lee Jin-yong lacked.
It was also why Kim Jin-ho added a baseball game to Lee Jin-yong's training manual.
More than six hours a day.
Five out of four matches a day, to be exact.
not just to see the main highlights, but to see all the beginnings and ends of the game.
And make a note of Kim Jin-ho's advice and remarks when watching a baseball game.
Again, you're an inferior player. Physical, as well as restraints, mouth and mouth, menthols are good. Mental maniacs are good.
“You just have a strong heart, can't you say that? ”
Even a puppy can have a strong heart. Anyway, remember, you're an amateur.
In the process, Lee Jin-yong gained indirect baseball experience.
“Yes, I know. ”
And through that process, Jin Yong was able to clearly recognize his position.
‘Kim Jin-ho is right. I'm weak. Fastball restraints are at most mid-110s, and the only weapon available is a B rank chain-up. ’
Reality Awareness.
Of course, if it just ends there, it ends there.
The important thing is to recognize reality and find out where you stand.
‘So there's nothing to lose. ’
Jin Yong found it.
[Deal with the lead batsman.]
[The Leader Bonus applies. Increases points by 20 percent.]
[Proceed to selection.]
[Voter's bonus applies. Increases points by 15 percent.]
[Deal with the first batsman.]
[First party bonus applies. Increases points by 15 percent.]
“Beginner, I'm going to stab one in the middle. ”
Lee Jin-yong, he really started baseball.
8.
‘That pitcher. ’
Ban Tae-sup.
He came out as the leader of the team, a batsman with long legs that fall short of a slim figure.
A player who uses his fast feet as a weapon no matter who sees it.
When he became the leader, there was not a single person who doubted that fact.
In addition, he had a good career.
Although he had not been nominated for the program, he was well-recognized as a Hothajun player in his own region during high school baseball, remained on average even after going to university, and was able to make many of the best career numbers.
He was clearly an elite athlete.
‘It's no big deal. ’
Of course, he regarded the pitcher as a binary dragon in this moment.
‘Slow detention, small build. The helmet foam is a bit unique, but there's no need to get caught up in it. ’
It was impossible to impress a small-bodied pitcher with a fastball restraint in his mid-110s without going crazy.
‘Okay, let me show you. ’
Because he thought this was his chance.
A great opportunity to demonstrate your values to all the coaching staff at Cat Stars.
‘There should be scouts. ’
Furthermore, it is not voluntary, but it is a great opportunity to show your presence to the pro table scouts who are here.
"I'll give you as much trouble as I can. ’
An opportunity to show that you are not just an anther, but a first batsman who can bully the pitcher.
‘The outpost is watched first. Let's get a timer.’
Ban Tae-sup prepared for a long battle at this moment.
In a full count situation, a battle was planned to make the pitcher throw three or four more balls.
The cornerstone of Lee Jin-yong that was thrown against him was a fastball that flew straight to the catcher meat.
Boom!
“Strike!”
A ball that will enter the Strike Zone so cleanly and shout the strikes without hesitation.
"Huh?
A ball that makes the batsman frown for a moment.
“Wow, that's a bet ball. ”
“I can't even throw a ball like that in the all-star home run. ”
“Just look at that? You should have swinged it!”
The moment the Strike Declaration appeared on the ball, the crowd began to rumble.
The murmur made his face stiff.
Boom!
He clenches his teeth.
Son of a bitch! ’
At this moment, he thought he had become a jest to the left.
Of course, when he threw the second ball over the mount, when it was determined to be a Fastball, he moved the bat without hesitation when he said it was coming towards the Strike Zone.
Exactly!
And the moment the bat hit the ball, he had a hunch.
Fuck!
The fact that he has given the striker today an opportunity to do great things with the land ball.
And the fact that this trial is over.
“Out!”
His prediction became a reality the moment he stepped on a first-round base, the moment he saw the burning fist of the first-round.
“Damn it!”
The first "damn" sound echoes through the ground.
9.
[You have won 37 points.]
[Breakpoint Inning Bonus begins. Increased bottleneck inning increases the amount of points you earn.]
[We are currently pitching 0.1 inning zero dot.]
Lucky me.
“What luck, what skill. ”
As soon as I caught the lead batsman, Lee Jin-yong in the mount took a short breath.
His eyes immediately stood next to the typewriter. I identified the number of 33-points above the batsman's head.
‘The first batsman's point was 25 points. Better than the typewriter, then. ’
At that time, Kim Jin-ho asked for Lee Jin-yong.
Now, here's the problem. Does the batter on the mountain think he's a jerk, or does he think he's a jerk who's backed off like a jerk against him?
Jin Yong answered the question.
“You both think you're an idiot. ”
Oh, now you know something! Meanwhile, it is rewarding to teach.
In Kim Jin-ho's words, Lee Jin-yong cleared her head instead of answering.
‘At least none of these people think I caught the typewriter well. They'll all think the batsman fell on my foot. Even now, the batter would only be looking for an opportunity, not to be afraid of me. Just like the previous batsman. Throw a couple of fastballs out of John before placing the changeover inside John. ’
As soon as he finished organizing, Lee Jin-yong shared his signature with the catcher.
I picked a fast ball, and I picked a course to get off the Strike Zone.
The catcher didn't react well to that.
The catcher wasn't part of the Goyang Starz test, he was part of the war effort.
Started with conformity beyond the coordination of such a predator, the battle against Battalion No. 2 of Jinyong ended in three quarters.
The moment I saw the two balls falling out of the previous zone, the second moment the third ball came towards John, I moved the bat, saying that I had waited for the second ball to come in.
Exactly!
Then, the second rider frowned and sprinted to the first floor with the sound of the ball being missed. After eating potatoes from the ball, he entered the bench.
“Damn it!”
Then I scattered the second "damn" sound over the ground.
[You have won 37 points.]
[Successfully cleared 2 consecutive Bumper Hits. You will earn bonus points for successfully dropping the Triad.]
[We are currently pitching a 0.2 Inning zero dot.]
The baseball manager immediately started the settlement.
What kind of game is this? Is there a problem with this? You're going to the Major League next year, aren't you? My stomach hurts! I went to the Major League for so long! Why are you eating like this?
And Kim Jin-ho expressed her complaint as if she had waited.
Lee Jin-yong smiled at that fact.
At this moment, it was definitely Lee Jin-yong.
‘At least I won't be nervous. ’
I think I can enjoy the process no matter what results I get on this stage today.
Of course, when Batter 3 stood on the battlefield, Lee Jin-yong was not afraid when the number 50 points stood on the battlefield.
‘This repertoire works much better than I expected. ’
In fact, the repertoire prepared by Jin Yong today was simple.
Throwing a fast ball that's perfect for a home run and then throwing a chain-up.
In the beginning, it was also the purpose of using the chain business.
Isn't the change-up supposed to lead the fastball to the batsmen?
Furthermore, the chain business for Jin was B rank.
It was not just a ball of pepper, it was a ball of pepper powder.
The moment I think of fastballs and swing, damn it! It was a fantastic changeover, and two people had already made a damn sound in front of the pepper powder.
‘But a 50-point batsman would know the repertoire ahead. ’
Of course, I didn't expect the third guest to be equally affected by this repertoire.
Because of this, Lee Jin-yong once again engraved on the advice Kim Jin-ho gave.
‘If you're going to get hit anyway, it's less damage to watch a battle neatly. ’
Kim Jinho did not ask me to force him to create something that was not there.
Instead, he told me to do the best I could.
‘It's a showdown. ’
Because of this, Lee Jin-yong wanted to see the battle at the beginning.
Strikezone throws the chain-up into the space where the batsman can hit the ball.
That way, Jin Yong could get it.
“Damn it!”
The third "damn" sound that fills the ground.
[You have earned 57 points.]
[You have successfully retired for the first time. Get a one-time Bronze Wheel pass.]
[You won 100 points as a Triple Killer Bonus.]
[You have succeeded in exiting the first sphere. Bonus points will be awarded.]
[You have succeeded in exiting the first sphere for the first time. Get a one-time Bronze Wheel pass.]
[You have successfully pitched the 1st Inning Flawless Point.]
And sweet rewards!
“Hooray!”
Hooray!
Lee Jin-yong, he started going crazy.
