Absolute on the Mound

6.

[You have reached your maximum health.]

After checking the notification from the baseball manager, Jin began to move his shoulders heavily.

On March 6, I did not feel any fatigue from throwing a 65-grade ball during the 5th inning on the day of the election.

‘Okay.’

Only the mood and feeling of the day remain clear.

Your HP recovery speed is about 0.7 points per hour. Recovery will be 16 points if you rest a day.

Kim Jin-ho opened his mouth behind Lee Jin-yong's back.

Your health will be important from now on. Six points of stamina will be consumed if you use both before the trial and the rising fastball at the same time. Whereas daily recovery is 16 points. In fact, if you become a pro, it's a health management battle, because if you can throw a 160-kilometer ball and you fail, it's over.

Health.

It was a stat that at first could not be understood, but Lee Jin-yong and Kim Jin-ho were now somewhat finished with their physical strength.

Stamina was closely related to helmet count.

Throwing 1 Helmet did not consume 1 HP.

Different points of stamina were consumed depending on the type of throwing, restraint and situation. For example, if a binary ball is thrown with power, it consumes 1 point of health, but if a binary feature is thrown lightly or does not burden the shoulders, it consumes lower points.

“Skill usage is higher than I expected. ”

From that point of view, consuming 3 points of health when using a skill was the same as consuming a power helmet 3 times in a row.

Well, it's a good thing you could throw a ball a little less trashy.

“That's right. It's more important to catch the game because you can lose your stamina. ”

Of course, worrying about this physical strength was also a happy concern in Lee Jin-yong's position.

The worst thing for athletes is when they don't have to use that much power.

They don't have the strength to use it, but they end up using it in a faraway place, which is why they retire.

In that sense, you must be born lucky.

In that sense, Jin Yong was lucky.

“I can't deny it. ”

As soon as I joined Goyang Stars, I immediately got a chance to compete against the Blue Dragons and immediately after a few days of rest, I heard that I was included in the contest entry with Seoul Angels II.

It was quite special.

“I honestly didn't expect to take me to 2,000. ”

The importance of a duel against an Independent team cannot be spoken of.

Of course, only vetted and selected players in Goyang Starz will get that chance.

It means that this year's rookie, who has only played one match, is not an opportunity to give a small-scale pitcher with insignificant restraints.

Didn't Coach Kim Jong-ho tell you about his first race against the Blue Dragons?

“When I heard about the selection in the Blue Dragons, it was clearly a subordinate card. ”

Jin Yong Lee, you are still a subordinate card that needs to be verified.

So it won't be a good opportunity in the future.

I predicted it.

But Kim Jinho was different.

He's more of a sledgehammer than usual. First of all, that's his motto.

“That?”

Oh, I don't know baseball ~!

“Yes?”

Literally. He admits that no matter how great a power analyst is, he can't completely quantify and theorize baseball. You know that restraint isn't everything, and your body size isn't everything. On the contrary, I admit that the results are clearly visible.

“What does that mean? ”

You know Billy Bean?

Billy Bean.

When the word came out, Lee Jin-yong nodded, of course.

“Billy Bean? The guy from the money ball movie? ”

Not only those who like baseball, but maybe those who don't really care about baseball.

Is the money ball in the movie?

“Yes, as Billy Bean, Brad Pitt did. ”

What actor?

“Brad Pitt. ”

Brad Pitt married Angelina Jolie? Billy Vienna, the hot actor who played Billy Vienna in the movie?

“Yes.”

That said, Kim Jin-ho vomited a meaningless smile.

Looks like the Hollywood kids have lead in their eyes. How did Billy Vin and Brad Pitt hook up? Are you out of your mind?

He continued to speak with a solemn look on his face with his hollow smile.

If that were the case, would you use Leonardo DiCaprio as a part of my film?

“It could be. ”

Lee Jin-yong willingly expressed positive in Kim Jin-ho's words.

“It would be a genre SF fantasy instead. ”

What, man?

“When Leonardo DiCaprio appears at Jinho Kim, it's a fantasy. ”

What's wrong with me? How popular was I in the Major League? When I went to L.A. for the former Dodgers, Hollywood actors came to see me. I was too busy rejecting blind dates after the game!

Lee Jin-yong said after activating voice search on her smartphone instead of answering Kim Jin-ho's objection.

“Search for Kim Jin-ho's love story. ”

Google immediately gave me search results.

Lee Jin-yong showed Kim Jin-ho liquid crystals showing the results.

“What should I do? There's no real search for stories about Kim Jin-ho and Hollywood actresses and romance. ”

Yeah, 'cause I snuck up on him! Yeah, covertly! I snuck up on you!

I nodded, looking at Lee Jin-yong's sad eyes towards the refusal Kim Jin-ho.

“Yes, let's say that. I'll believe you.”

It's true!

“Yes, I believe you. So why did you bring up Billy Vienna? ”

Chet!

Kim Jin-ho with a short tongue continued.

Anyway, I met Billy Vinn.

“It's the same time as when Director Billie Bean raised the stock price in the Athletics and Kim Jin-ho destroyed the league. ”

At that time, the Red Sox was the one who was most thirsty. You know, the millennium started, and I didn't see any signs of Bambino's curse breaking, and I thought, maybe we'll spend the first century without actually winning.

“So?”

Around that time, Billy Bean contacted me. If the Red Sox take you from the Cardinals, I will gladly become the Red Sox captain. And then he told me about his baseball theory.

“The Sabre Matrix. ”

He said there will come a time when baseball secrets will be numbered. That's why only a team with something that can't be explained by numbers can win.

Lee Jin-yong nodded.

Yeah, so I asked. How do you know that? That's why he said, One in ten athletes who produce results beyond their abilities has one of those.

“One in ten? What about the other nine? ”

It's called "Frock." Anyway, his baseball theory is similar. If a player continues to produce results that exceed his or her abilities, he or she will definitely be worth the opportunity.

“On the contrary, if I don't create another opportunity, you'll see everything about me as Porlock. ”

Instead of answering, Kim Jin-ho made an OK sign facing his index finger and thumb.

Lee Jin-yong did not sigh.

I'm on the other line right now, and you're blaspheming.

Kim Jin-ho asked Lee Jin-yong.

When asked again, Jin Yong boldly replied.

“I didn't go to all that trouble and didn't even think about coming to the floor. ”

Kim Jinho nodded.

Yeah, that's the spirit. Did you know that the top brass of the Angels Club just happened to see this game and they're going to love you for it?

Lee Jin-yong smiled.

“Say something that makes sense. ”

Yeah, that's bullshit.

7.

Icheon Champions Park.

Seoul Angels' parent company Hyunsung Group, a state-of-the-art, second-class training camp in South Korea, showed up at the ground for cat star athletes matchmaking with Seoul Angels' fleet of runners.

“Wow."

The first thing that surprised the players who showed up was the lights wrapped around the baseball field.

“Look at these lights. ”

“You said it was brighter here than the slightly cloudy day. ”

“So they say you can train through the night? ”

Although he is using the main baseball field of the country, the two thousand Champions Park, which has facilities to boast in South Korea as well as the world, was literally a star-studded universe for cat star athletes.

Man, that's a nice baseball field. Now the 2nd Army field is of this quality.

Kim Jin-ho is impressed. What explanation do you need?

It was for binary purposes as well.

“I think it's better than the sleeping chamber. ”

If it wasn't for the Jamsil Stadium remodeling, it'd be quicker to find a shitty baseball stadium than there is.

“I don't think so. I built it a long time ago. ”

But I have a feeling about the sleeping chamber.

“Feelings?”

I once stepped on a Jamsil Field mount with a Hyunsung Group Owner family · · · · · · Anyway, you'll know it when you step on it.

“I wish I had something to stomp on. ”

At that moment, Kim Jin-ho looked around and looked at one place.

Hey, hey, look.

“Where?”

Lee Jin-yong turned her head.

Then in their eyes they saw the symbol of Seoul Angels, a sailor dressed in black stripes and stripes on white clothes.

They were looking at the ground-filled players of Cat Stars.

In his eyes, Lee Jin-yong tightly bit his teeth.

I felt a dual purpose.

I assure you, they're making a death sentence today.

Seoul Angels' runners facing Goyang Stars are now more desperate than ever.

And it was very natural.

“It's a 1 if you lose to the same Second Division, but if you lose to an Independent who is going pro, it's not a 1, it's not a qualification. ”

Of course, if a major league player is beaten by a double A player, he should pack his bags.

It is a bitter defeat for the Second Army players to lose.

However, losing to the Independent Guild is not a bitter defeat, but a discussion of their qualifications.

They're the only place you can take it, right? Don't you think?

Easy for you to say, the chair is taken.

The goal of Independent League players is, in a certain sense, the seats of Second Army players.

Losing to an Independent like that means there's nothing wrong with taking his place at any time.

“But my eyes are more fierce than I expected. ”

That must be why Ahn Chan-seop became a defeatist.

Here's another thing, the Independent Guild has won against Unacceptance.

For the 2nd Army players, they made the player like the stars in the sky laugh online.

That's why there's so many people in the audience.

And because of that, reporters and members of the table were filling up 2,000 Champions Park today, which was unrivalled.

“That should be plenty. Since the demonstration is on March 14th, all the journalists from all over the country will be here. ”

Now, 11 days ahead of the trials, the journalists who have already struggled have had enough time to play this game today.

"Huh?

At that time, Kim Jinho seemed to have found something.

Hey, go over there.

“Where?”

Behind the Cannon.

Lee Jin-yong turned her head.

Then I saw a man and a woman talking.

“Wow.”

It was a woman who looked so beautiful that her eyes turned back as soon as I saw her from a distance.

Lee Jin-yong said a word.

“You find one like this more haunted than a ghost. Again, Major Lieger's eyes are different. It's the eye of a hawk, the eye of a hawk, that's what I'm looking for. ”

It's not like that!

“Oh, what are you hiding? All men do. ”

Just go!

Lee Jin-yong willingly walked for Kim Jin-ho. He also wanted to see how great her face was.

When the distance was so close, Lee Jin-yong again had to admire the beauty of the woman.

‘It's really pretty. ’

At the same time, I felt strange.

By the way, where do you think you saw him? ’

I think I've seen him somewhere before.

Kim Jinho was the same.

Soon I remembered Kim Jin-ho.

It's the granddaughter of the old president!

“Yes?”

Yeah, I'm sure. He was the one who gave me flowers when I met the real-estate owners when I came to Korea.

“The granddaughter of the former chairman? ”

In saying that, I immediately took out my smartphone as if I thought of something for a binary purpose. And then I did a search.

“An obituary.”

Yeah, that's the name.

At that moment, Guernsey, who was there, looked down at Jinyong Lee.

8.

“Who is it?”

On her question, the deformed body next to her lowers her head and looks at the ground.

"Huh?

Suddenly, I saw a player start to run near the artillery.

It was hard to see his face because he turned his back for running in a jumper, but the deformation immediately knew who he was.

“I'm a binary athlete. I'm with Starz.”

Players with small kidneys like that were almost impossible to find on a professional level.

“A player?”

That's why Guernsey frowned slightly.

“It's small. Is it my beast? Second base? Player?”

“No, it's pitchers. A pitcher who came out against Ahn Chan-sub and became a victorious pitcher because of his 5 Inning flawless points. ”

“Ah.”

Then Guernsey could think of the word "victory pitcher binary" in the match results sent by variant.

“How did you do? ”

“Five Inning is a bust. ”

“Is that all? ”

“We've dealt with 15 consecutive Bumper Hits. In a neat way, it was a five-inning perfect game. There was no bolnet. ”

The letter surprised me.

“You have a pitcher like that? ”

“But fast ball arrest is only in the early 120 's. Even fast ball posturing is not good. Instead, the slider and the changeover are great. ”

The meta-human who explained it was intuitive.

The moment I heard that restraint was only in the early 120s, the slider and the chaining were excellent in the ears of the grinder, and the same could not be said in the slightest.

The Grimoire will wipe that pitcher's attention right out of your head.

“Is that so?"

However, the response in the passage was different.

She doesn't erase that little pitcher from her mind.

“Is there anything else? ”

“Something else? ”

Gu said to himself, but frowned at his eyes to see if he didn't like what he said.

“No, it's not.”

“Do you feel anything from that pitcher? ”

Variants cautiously ask questions.

The question reminded me of how I felt, and I smiled.

“I just looked at him and I remembered him. ”

“Old memories? ”

“I remember meeting Kim Jin-ho. ”

He smiled as if he was transformed.

Kim Jin-ho.

Dominator of the Major League, which created a star that no one could touch for nine seasons in the Major League.

But instead of being nominated in Draft, you think about the memory of the great pitcher from a speedball pitcher in the early 120s?

It was something to laugh about.

Of course, they didn't know.

Ah! She was beautiful then, but now she's not joking. If I had married him back then, I'd be a martyr, too, I'm afraid!

“Don't be ridiculous. ”

Too bad. I knew you liked me back then.

“Fuck.”

What did you just say?

“Yes? What did I say? ”

I told you to fuck off.

“Is that possible? You heard wrong. You're hearing things nowadays. Would you like me to make some more potions for you to eat? ”

that they are really good at what they do.

I didn't know yet.
