Absolute on the Mound

12. Save Angels (3).

6.

Hut, hut, swing!

The Devil has avenged his defeat against Angels yesterday with today's victory!

So this is a one-time winner and winner.

The winner of Angels vs. Devils' third year, the second game, was Devils.

“Yang Yin Young, Angels' recruiter, collapsed three times. ”

“The Yangyeong ball wasn't bad, but the Devil's tarmac caught on fire once, and it didn't go out. ”

“The Devil's fears. Once it's on fire, it doesn't go off. Maybe today's strike will last till tomorrow's game. ”

At the beginning of the third round, it was crucial that Devils scored five points against the amphibians from Angels' cast.

Of course, there were other stories about both teams fighting and beating Park Jun-hyung home, but no one cared so much about detail and small things.

The important thing is that the two teams divide by one.

“The winner of this series will be judged by the third match, which is the last match. ”

Now there is only one match left for both teams.

“Even in the Second World, you can't lose the Angel and the Devil series. ”

“Of course.”

And both teams have no intention of conceding that victory.

The final match of the three years of Devils vs. Angels, which began in such a setting, was fierce and fierce.

It was different from the pitchers on the mount.

“Strike, out! ”

“Wow! You're scratching the slider today! ”

“Even the First Class batsmen are hard to hit when the sliders are scratched! Say the Devils are dead! ”

Published as Angels' election, Issup cut off the strength of the Devil's batsmen who had been fitted with his main weapon, a sharp slider.

“Swing, strike out! ”

“Yes! Junho's forkballs will be waiting for you today! ”

“Fork the angels' heads! ”

The Baek Jun, chosen by the Devils, dances the batsmen of Angels with his main weapon, the forkball.

“Both pitchers are not joking today. ”

Up to the third time, both team recruiters competed in the competition, showing the perfect pace where no single batsman was launched.

“Big! Big! Big!”

“Over!”

It was Park Jun-hyung, who came out of the four-horse horse race three times, who is now a big solo home run, created by him in the off-target state.

“Crazy bastard! ”

“Three consecutive home runs against the Devils? ”

“You got yourself a demon-hunter. ”

And in the cracks that were made, the Devils did not create the cracks.

“Here we go, here we go, here we go! ”

“Back-to-back!”

“A scumbag who doesn't ride with the Devils! ”

After five seconds in the middle of a one-to-zero chase, the Devil quickly turned into a back-to-back home run.

“Today's game is no joke. ”

“At this point, the team that loses today will have to take a big hit. The sequelae will last a very long time. ”

A blood clot that goes beyond being healed and kills.

Once again, there was a rift in the blood. It was two quarters of a foot, two thirds of a foot, in the middle of Devils' first lead.

In that situation, no matter who sees it, the reverse two-dot punctuation appeared, thinking that it would be Angels' last reverse chance.

“Joon-hyung Park again? ”

“Oh, my God!"

The protagonist is Park Jun-hyung.

He exhibited the star-like presence of saving Angels and made the universe shine only by himself, including the 2,000 Champions Park, home of the Angels II armies.

“That's it.”

“Here comes the crazy one. ”

Everyone who watched the match at that moment did not have any doubts about the fact that he would become Park Jun-hyung, the hero and owner of the game today.

“Only Park Joon-hyung will remember the game today. ”

“Of course. Other athletes don't even remember. ”

I thought that no one could show something more intense and absolute than Park Joon-hyung showed.

At the beginning of the final attack of the Devils, the ninth inning.

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

A small-bodied pitcher rises from the mount.

Peek-a-boo!

It was a pitcher and binary that blew a big balloon mouth.

7.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

In response to Tutsu's question, the director nodded quietly once instead of answering.

Tucsooch gazed over the mount, gazing tightly, as if he had given up on opening the horse because of the director of Group 2.

"Lee Jin-yong from here? ’

I look at the small pitcher on the mount and think again.

Why in the world is this important game? ’

The 1st place in the Futures League is definitely less valuable than the 1st place in the Korean pro baseball league.

The first win of the season doesn't necessarily mean risking your life.

The winner of the long Pennanthrax is not who runs fast, but who goes farther.

But today, one win was different.

‘This game needs to be won. ’

The winner of the three-year series against the Devils was determined, and at the same time it was very difficult to get a few matches in a season.

A paving match created by both the batter and the pitcher, pulling out everything they have!

At least none of the players or coaches in the professional world didn't know that winning a match was the surest way to measure a real climber.

‘How does it end up being the 1st save in a match like this · · · · · · ·. ’

In that situation, I am coming up to the end of nine rounds to keep score of one.

‘Isn't there no way that Lee Jin-yong can do it? ’

Today's contest was no longer the task of a beginner pitcher who would become the second platform on the stage of the pro.

Of course, the director of Group 2 knew about it.

‘It is the most perfect stage for pitchers to feel burdened. ’

The winner's Series, the Winning Series and the Stage of the Losing Series.

The first inning that cuts the winner and loser of 26 innings so far.

Score 1 points.

The opponent is the same team whose rival history is also the history of Korean pro baseball.

Even though it's a typhoon starting from number 9, the alternative to the typewriter is Anju Chan, the most reliable alternative card that Devils can give.

‘There's no better stage to see the pitcher's bottom. ’

The combination of all the worst situations a pitcher could face was also the best stage to measure the bottom of the pitcher and the limits.

Director Woo Ji-wook, that was the most important thing for him.

‘Pro says as a result. ’

In the end, the value of a professional baseball player has to produce results.

‘Lee Jin-yong is any type of athlete, that sounds good. ’

No matter how many restraints you throw, no matter how tall you are, they don't matter.

Do they produce results, or do they not?

Even if you can throw a 160-kilometer ball and not produce results, you can't become a pro, but if you can produce results, the pitcher in San Francisco Giants with a height of 177 centimeters can be the best pitcher in the Major League.

‘If you make a result here, you're a professional. ’

Woo Ji-wook, the director of Group 2, planned to assess Lee Jin-yong's pitcher that way.

Create outcomes or not.

‘Luck or not, I'll admit it if you make it. ’

There's no cleaner way to go.

In that situation, Lee Jin-yong who was mounted said, looking up at the sky.

“What a beautiful day to shout. ”

Lee Jin-yong, at this moment he was really smiling.

8.

A new pitcher will be given a chance to throw a ball within the 6th sphere with practice.

Most pitchers use this practice pitching to measure their ball, zero it, and the first batsman to face the pitcher watches the pitcher's ball carefully in the waiting stone.

This is as plain as it gets, as it gets, at any moment.

All that matters is the others.

New pitchers and other batsmen opening up the inning.

There is no obligation or obligation to pay attention to the process, such as to spectators, journalists, or other officials.

In other words, depending on how focused they are on pitching pitchers, we can see how important the game is and how intense the game is.

If everyone is focused, they are watching the pitcher practice more than ever before.

From that point of view, the importance and fierceness of today's game were unquestionably strong.

“It's Lee Jin-yong, the one who saved the day last night, right? ”

“That's why Joon-hyung and I joined. He's been a pro less than a week now. ”

“Restraint is slow, but the ball is odd. ”

Everyone was watching the rehearsal pitch for Jin Yong.

Among those many eyes, Kim Jin-ho looked at Lee Jin-yong.

The best way to know the human limits is to complete the marathon. But if that's not possible, there is a suboption: to climb up the mountain in the first save.

In the words without laughter, Lee Jin-yong covered her mouth with a glove.

“Who said that? Rivera? Hoffman? ”

No, I just made that up. I feel like I should say something like this.

With the horse, Kim Jin-ho scratched his chin and continued.

Lee Jin-yong kicked the tongue briefly.

Kim Jin-ho changed the topic of the conversation as if it were cool because of the sound of Lee Jin-yong's tongue.

Major league top-closers loved to mount in the first place.

Lee Jin-yong threw a story that would interest her and Lee Jin-yong reacted.

“Really? Why? ”

It's a place where everyone in the Major League survives when they're drunk. But finishing pitchers can't make things happen on their own.

“What does that mean? ”

For example, the pitchers are good at their job. If you're good, you can finish. You can finish. But the pitchers can't do that, can they? He wants to get in the first place, and he can't. It only comes up in nine save scenarios.

“That's right.”

The problem is that in a three-point situation, no matter how many finishing pitchers make a great pitch and save, there is no impact. Anybody's savings on Major League dot com has been knocked out of the park! Nothing like that ever comes up.

Lee Jin-yong smiled at Kim Jin-ho's words.

For those finishing pitchers, this is an opportunity, because if you win a save on a first-point baking match, you'll get the spotlight more intense than any other player that day.

Kim Jin-ho speaking looked at Lee Jin-yong.

Lee Jin-yong's appearance in Kim Jin-ho's eyes was a little different than usual.

Do you have to take a shit?

Lee Jin-yong picked up on Kim Jin-ho's remark.

“No, why is it that you talk so well and suddenly poop? And why do I look like I'm shitting my face? ”

I thought you had a bad face.

“I didn't lose my appetite, but I have a biceps. ”

Biceps.

Kim Jin-ho smiled at the expression.

You nervous?

“I'd rather be nervous. I think I'm excited. ”

Excited?

Given the current situation and the position of Jin Yong Lee, it was completely incomprehensible.

More important and more burdensome than ever?

However, Kim Jin-ho could understand such a Jin Yong.

It's my first time at rank A, but it's not uncommon to be excited. I'm curious about that, aren't you?

Lee Jin-yong was like a young college student driving his first supercar.

What if we weren't even renting that supercar, and we were the owners of that supercar?

What if God gave me that supercar as a gift?

I'll be lucky when I'm done being excited.

“Could you give me some advice? ”

Lee Jin-yong eventually asked Kim Jin-ho for advice.

At Lee Jin-yong's request, Kim Jin-ho looked at the typewriter in the waiting seat.

Don't give me any advice. Just kill them all.

At that, Lee Jin-yong smiled and replied.

“Very well. Now let's catch the devil and save the angel. ”

Finally, Lee Jin-yong threw the first ball towards the catcher and threw the newly acquired A rank ball.

Boom!

His pitch was a two-sided fastball.

9.

It's dirty.

That's not a good thing to hear.

However, there are those who are so anxious to hear this, that they can't wait to hear it.

Pitcher.

They are filthy, cruel, vile, goddamned from everyone they throw a ball at! I eagerly hope to hear the same.

The problem is that you can't just hear that the ball is dirty because it is fast.

Something more special.

Something more powerful than the other pitchers.

Something insulting.

You must have something like that to be told that you are dirty from others.

In that sense, the ball that Jin Yong threw was qualified enough.

Boom!

He deserves to hear it's a fucking dirty ball.

Fuck!

Ahn Ju's feelings as the first batsman of the Devils prove it.

"Fuck you! ’

Anju Chan.

He had already faced the ball of Jin Yong two days ago and had never underestimated him.

He was wary of that two-centered fastball of Lee Jin-yong who screwed him over.

‘Cause it's a hell of a lot worse than that. ’

At the same time, I was prepared to aim for it.

He was talented.

A natural talent enough to hear the sound of hidden-cards as soon as they need to be struck by the director of Devils II at an early age.

When I was in high school, I was considered a talent for hitting home runs even when I caught a bat upside down.

A talent that has so far walked the path of success and praise through hardship and adversity.

‘The ball that came into the middle of the Strike Zone suddenly came into my hands · · · · · · ·. ’

However, the two-center fastball facing Lee Jin-yong today gave such a despair to Ahn Ju Chan.

I had to.

"How is this possible? ’

Lee Jin-yong's ball movement was at least a ball that trampled the common sense level of Korean pro baseball.

I felt that feeling, but it wasn't just for Ahn Ju.

As Ahn Ju Chan retreated to the ground ball in front of the trainee, he headed for the bench.

“Hooray!”

The moment the pitcher on the mount speaks a strange cheer.

Now, Han Taehun was clearly feeling the Devil's 1st rider, who had to deal with binary dragons in the real granite, not in the air.

‘I can't hit that ball today. ’

I feel like I know how to win or lose even before I battle.

‘The ball you threw was not a joke, but now the ball refuses to compare with the ball. ’

Above all, it was not only the pitcher on the mount who threw the odd ball.

‘And that pitcher is an asshole. ’

If Han Tae Hoon wanted to see the ball and wait for it, he was a pitcher who could unhesitantly make a fatal provocation of throwing a 110-kilometer fastball at the strikezone of Han Tae Hoon.

‘Where did this monster come from? ’

Han Taehun's imagination soon became reality.

Lee Jin-yong, he threw a curve at Han Tae-hoon, who was full of two-heart fastballs.

The curve was dull, but in his head, he threw a strike in front of the ball he had never imagined, and the second time, he just swung a bat in front of an ordinary fastball, but all his nervous body could do was send the ball out of the Pauline.

With it, it was like Han Tae Hoon's neck had already been placed on a guillotine.

The moment I became a Noble Two Strike, I thought of the ball that didn't sit well in Taehun's head a moment ago.

“Rising Fastball, the day before planting. ”

And Lee Jin-yong was willing to cast a spell for Han Tae Hoon.

In a way, Han Tae Hoon predicted Lee Jin-yong's ball.

However, when Lee Jin-yong threw a two-center fastball that entered Han Tae-hoon's body correctly, Han Tae-hoon couldn't react.

Boom!

“Strike out! ”

Without any response, he allowed the rooking triangle to stand in front of him and panicked at the ball movement.

“Hooray!”

And now it's a sacrifice of pitcher's cheer.

In doing so, I now spoke to YangFeng, who was the second batsman to stand on the floor on his behalf.

“Never aim your heart out. ”

“Yes?”

“Aim for something else. ”

“What the hell. ”

What Han Tae Hoon said to Yang-seong was a completely different request from the bench sign.

The coach told me to go for it. ’

Of course, Devils, who were blocked by Lee Jin-yong in the first place, immediately figured out how to respond to Lee Jin-yong.

If you're just fascinated by the fact that you've never seen a pitcher before, that's because you don't deserve to be a professional.

The answer from the Devil's Coach at the end of the basket was simple.

Lee Jin-yong's two-core fastball is great, but there's nothing else to see. Aim for the two-core fastball!

All you have to do is break the two-core fastball!

Nothing unusual.

With the right materials, preparation and experience for the ball, there's no shortage of two-center fastballs.

The ball of Jin Yong is a great ball, even if the movement is a great ball of restraint.

“Never. ”

But now, Han Tae Hoon was denying it.

“This ball is not the same as the ball yesterday. It's a ridiculous ball. ”

The two couples have no choice but to answer the same advice over and over.

“· · · · · · Yes, let's try something other than pitching. ”

But the advice was meaningless.

Jin-yong, it's the last batsman. What do you want to do?

“You have plenty of stamina, a rank A fastball, a magical first inning, and you still have two uses left, so why choose multiple options? ”

Oh, yeah?

“The batsman will go for the rest of the ball except the two-core fastball, and all he has to do is throw it. They're probably just watching you put it in the Strike Zone. It'll self-destruct in two strikes. ”

You evil bastard.

It was the Devil who was on top of the Mountain.

“Say you're like Kim Jin-ho. Didn't you learn all this from Kim Jin-ho? ”

That's why he's the devil.

Not one, but two demons smiling on the mount.
