Absolute on the Mound

7.

There are more people in the world who are better at baseball than I thought.

Kim Jinho said.

There are more pitchers who know how to throw a fastball than I thought. It's a lot more than you think.

Throwing the ball isn't that hard.

The problem is it's easy to practice, but it's hard to practice. In practice, it's Greg Maddox, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson and Kim Jinho. But on Mount? Most of them can't see half of what they were seen practicing.

But there are only a handful of people who can do such great things in action.

Because your breasts are smaller than your sparrow? Or do you have a phobia of heights where you can climb to the top like a mount? Actually, the reason is simple.

Kim Jinho also told me why.

Talent. I just wasn't born with it. In other words, it's not a stage. It's like being an actor. Who can't take out half of what they have onstage, but who can take out 120 percent of what they have?

It was around that time that Lee Jin-yong rebelled.

“Which one am I? ”

Which one do you think?

Kim Jinho didn't answer that question.

However, Lee Jin-yong did not have a big question about that.

“Phew.”

Right now, right up in the mount.

[Voter's bonus applies. Increases points by 15 percent.]

[The Leader Bonus applies. Increases points by 20 percent.]

[First party bonus applies. Increases points by 15 percent.]

‘20 points. ’

And as soon as I saw the points on the heads of the batsmen preparing for the batting, I could clearly see which type he was.

“I guess I'm no substitute. ”

Yeah, well, the problem with being onstage is that your character is not an actor, it's an extra.

Polished mount.

On top of that, Lee Jin-yong's surroundings were always filled with cold eyes.

The eyes of the Blue Dragon fighters he was about to face were naturally warm, and the eyes of journalists who had never seen Jin Dragon before were also hard to find a point of kindness.

Even the Goyang Stars players were looking at Lee Jin-yong with suspicious eyes instead of the young gaze of a cheerful arc.

It's hard to find an ally on a stage.

However, Jin Yong did not feel any fear at all.

That's always been the case.

He was not a coward, to be exact.

Never been hit by an anthrax, hit by a home run, or thrown a ball for fear.

Okay, let's get started.

“Yes.”

Of course, at this moment, Lee Jin-yong was able to throw without hesitation.

Where's the starter?

“Slider.”

Lee Jin-yong, he started his first debut.

Blue Dragons.

It is a top social baseball team.

Of course, their baseball level was not comparable to those who just played baseball as a hobby.

It wasn't just a hobby that the Blue Dragons played against the Cat Stars.

“Come on! Let's work hard again today! ”

“Let's sell ourselves to help the young sprouts! ”

“Let's do our best. Let's do it like we used to do it! ”

Service or contribution.

I want to help cat stars who are trying to live up to baseball in tough situations.

If it weren't for that, the Blue Dragons' athletes wouldn't have to sweat their balls off at the home field of Cat Stars until Monday, March 6, on a golden holiday.

At the heart of these Blue Dragons was Lee Jong-hoo, the current director of the Blue Dragons.

He is a franchise star in Dolphins, Gwangju, and has retired with some of his best records for over 16 years. He has served as the director and coach of the Blue Dragons team since his retirement, and has done little for Cat Starz as well as Korean baseball.

“I don't know why you sweat so hard on the show anyway. ”

As soon as I got back to the bench after interviewing the reporters, I put him in the race against Cat Stars as the Blue Dragons' first pitcher.

“Ahn Chan-seop.”

“What's the matter, sir? ”

“Call me Director. ”

“Oh, yeah. So, what's going on? ”

“Take it easy. ”

“Oh, I've solved enough already. You see, it's already in the 140s. I only deal with the kids as Junpy.That's enough. ”

“Watch your mouth. ”

“Yes, I'll be careful. ”

Ahn Chan-seop.

No matter who saw him, instinctively, morally lacking, when he was voluntarily removed from gambling events, no one wanted to be his fence.

There were even more people who thought he looked good when he was like that.

If Ahn Chan-sub had been the last man to demonstrate the right conduct to set an example for others, he would have been able to spend the 2016 season on a pro baseball stage rather than being self-sufficient.

Ahn Chan-Seop's major league trip to qualify for posting at the end of the 2016 season was one of the most important events in the Korean baseball world.

In that situation, he became his fence, not just the same team, but a post-heterogeneous director from Dolphins, Gwangju, who was the same team as Daegu Ravens.

“Ahn Chan-seop, take care. I don't know what you're thinking in your head, but from now on, be prepared and act like you're being watched. ”

Of course, the director after Jong-seop did not become his fence because he felt sorry for Ahn Chan-sub.

“Above all, spend the rest of your life volunteering for Korean baseball. ”

There is currently no pitcher to replace Ahn Chan-sub on the Korean pro baseball stage.

In such a situation, it is absolutely necessary for the performance of Korean pro baseball and international competitions.

That was why the director became the fence of Ahn Chan-sub even as he became scorned.

“Yes, yes ~. ”

‘My insides are burning. ’

However, the moment she knew the trouble, Ahn Chan-sub, felt that her lifespan had diminished.

‘Goddamn it. ’

Ahn Chan-sub was like a bomb that didn't know when it would explode.

‘Damn genius. ’

But the bigger problem was the ability of Ahn Chan-sub.

Ahn Chan-seop was a very talented owner.

Even though it was practically just playing during the year, Ahn Chan-sub's ball did not lose any power.

What he showed was not just a trace of effort and sweat, but a proof that he was born.

‘Even with such talent. ’

In other words, if Ahn Chan-Seop had honed himself with sweat and effort, he would have been a pitcher a little closer to Kim Jin-ho, after his nickname, 2nd Kim Jin-ho.

After Lee Jong-Woo, the director was so disappointed.

Why did God bestow on a human being named An-sub the gift God so desires to possess?

‘Only players like Kim Jin-ho can handle this kind of trouble. ’

Furthermore, that regret led to Kim Jin-ho's death.

After Lee Jong-ho was able to spend a short time with Kim Jin-ho during his tenure.

From the debut of Lake Kim Jinho to death, we were together for that period.

Kim Jin-ho, who remembers Lee Jong-hoo, was a great player.

I wasn't just good at baseball.

Rough, selfish, and self-absorbed, but he was never just a talent eater.

He was more passionate about baseball than anyone else, longing for victory than anyone else, and grinding and brushing himself.

So the world was enthusiastic about Kim Jinho.

It was also thanks to Kim Jin-ho that baseball became one of the most loved sports in Korea.

‘What a pity. ’

It was because of Ahn Chan-seop's actions that he continued to be foolish in his talents.

‘Talent is also a talent, but it is a pity that there is no pitcher for this relief. ’

Without stars, South Koreans will turn their backs on baseball much sooner than they think.

And from the moment the Koreans turn away from baseball, many of the Korean pro baseball players will have to be hungry.

That was the end of the issue of post-heterogeneous supervision.

Honestly, the post-heterosexual director had no time to think about anything else.

“This director. ”

“Huh?"

Of course, the post-heterosexual director had no time to care about the game.

“No, why are you already here? ”

It was around the time that Lee Hyuk-soo, who was the center of the team and the third batsman, came back to the bench.

“It's already over with the three-way retreat. It's an air shift.”

“Yes? What's that? ”

“I've been overwhelmed by the number of pitchers on the mountain. ”

“A skirmish?”

Jeon Hyuk-soo.

Although not as much of a post-heterosexual director, he was almost always a pro during his time.

He is now 50 years old, but he still works hard at his sport.

An armed athlete with a weapon of skill, though his stamina and strength may be lacking compared to that of his time.

That's how he fell into the pitcher's hands?

“I'm throwing the slider to the base and the fastball to the crystal ball. No, is it a chain business? ”

“What's that? Throw the slider at the base? ”

Even the words that came out of the mouth of the whole revolution, even more ignoring common sense.

“The other pitchers throw the fastest ball. During the first inning, the fastest ball against the three batsmen throws the slider and the change-up. ”

Only then did the director look at the mount for the first time.

After Lee Jong-hoo, it was the first time he saw a pitcher named Lee Jin-Long.

Fastball is the most popular pitcher on the pro stage in life.

Even if you throw 100 pitchers with amazing high-speed sliders, a curve showing ridiculous falls, and a fork ball that sounds ridiculous, more than 50 of them are fastballs.

The reason is simple.

Because the fastest and most powerful ball a pitcher can throw is a fastball.

The fastest and most powerful means that if you are hit by a batsman's bat, you are most likely to be pushed out of the ground or fly.

That's what pitchers are for.

Not all batsmen can be triangulated, the season can be completed without a single hurdle, and a pitcher who never hits a home run can only have a short professional career.

After all, the most powerful ball a pitcher can throw is a fastball, and pitchers usually make a ball count using a fastball.

Magical forkballs or throwing sliders that induce the swing are often in a two-strike situation.

Jin Yong, you're more powerful than a fastball. To be precise, fastballs suck.

In other words, if you have a ball that is much more powerful than a fastball, you should focus on it.

But a slower fastball pitcher is slower than any other man.

A pitcher throwing 130 kilometers as a fastball throws 140 kilometers as a slider.

So it's better to make a ball count with a slider than with a fastball.

However, Lee Jin-yong was different.

Of course, the fastest ball that Lee Jin-yong can throw is a fastball.

But his fastball is an E rank. It's just a ball of restraint, and the Guerilla movement is terrible.

On the other hand, the slider ranked B by the effects of the Daily Epic Skill was a completely different ball.

The restraints were not very low compared to fastballs, and the angle of bending was sharp and sharp like a blade, and the corners were fine.

You throw a slider, you grab a two-strike, and then you pull the ground ball with the change-up.

Another B rank for Jin Yong Lee, the characteristic of the chain business, has already been verified through triage.

The election, or anyone else, is a junior who has never reached a professional level, and has a power that cannot be easily targeted at a social baseball level.

How many batsmen will look at a transverse slider and immediately adapt to the sudden hook in the chain?

Furthermore, how many such capable batsmen anticipate that Lee Jin-yong will do such a pitch, and how many in the Blue Dragons will stand on the mount with their minds set?

It did not take long to find out the answer.

[33 points awarded.]

[Triple Killer Successful. 100 points awarded.]

“Phew!”

Triple homicide!

Lee Jin-yong, he used a slider and change-up against the three batsmen to pull out only the ground ball.

[1 Inning defect in progress.]

[Current cumulative point is 1,219 points.]

It perfectly decorates the beginning of his first debut.

Okay, this will get you a one-time ticket to Bronze Wheel. Good work.

At the same time, I also earned a large income.

The income you can spin the Bronze Wheel again.

“Not a single player is watching me at the Blue Dragons Doughout right now. ”

However, what was visible to Lee Jin-yong at this moment was not such a trivial income.

Can you afford to see the other team Doug out?

“Every pitch, I've been told to nail the other team's doughout. ”

With the horse covered in gloves, Lee Jin-yong looked around as he climbed down the mount to the bench.

The moment Lee Jin-yong finished the inning with a three-way retreat.

However, there were no people looking at Jin Yong at this moment.

“Everyone's in their heads right now. The Blue Dragons bench has no idea what I just threw. ”

That's right.

Jin Yong did not complain about that.

Instead, I blinked my eyes sharply.

What did I tell you to do then?

The glittering eyes gaze at the bench of the Blue Dragons.

“Thank you for the food. ”
