Absolute on the Mound

13. Greater fish hunting (1).

1.

Scouts belonging to the pro baseball team usually move closer to Group 2 than Group 1.

It's natural.

The role of a scout is to recruit a player, and the breeding ground for that player is Group 2.

That's why it wasn't unusual for the director of Group 2 to talk to Scouts with a variant.

I saw the video you sent me a moment ago.

“How do you feel?”

Is this real?

“I don't have the ability to manipulate the video. ”

Oh, my god.

The strange thing was he was what they were talking about.

Is this really the ball that binary dragons threw?

Jin Yong Lee.

Scout's surprise felt clear from beyond his smartphone as he watched his video of throwing the ball in the final three-year game with Devils.

However, Group 2 supervisors did not give Scouts time to calm their surprised breasts.

“I called to get some advice. ”

Talking to a second-in-command supervisor wasn't an official story or a private matter.

Of course, the director of Group 2 was not interested in increasing his intimacy with Scouts.

All he needs is his ability and his sight.

I don't know if my advice will help.

“What do you think of this ball of Jin Yong Lee, which you call a two-sided fastball? ”

I'll give you 65 points for a two-center fastball.

“Let me ask you a question. Do you have a two-core fastball that you think scores 80 points? ”

I don't give 80 points for any pitcher's pitch. Greg Madox's gut gave me 79 points.

Scouts in the Major League score 80 points when they measure their players.

“But 65 points. ”

If that two-center fastball was thrown by Lee Jin-yong in the mid-130s, he'd give you more than 70 points.

In that sense, the words of the meta-human were utterly praiseworthy.

It was so praiseworthy that I could not help but have a dissent beyond doubts.

However, in front of this dinner, Woo Ji-wook, the director of Group 2, did not react like this.

“I think so, too. ”

The two-sided fastball that Lee Jin-yong threw was a huge ball except that he had a restraining order of 122.

It's an amazing ball. It's only in the early 120s, and I can't believe we're seeing this kind of movement.

“Why didn't you include this in your scouting report? ”

I've never seen it before.

The problem was this part.

“You didn't know, either. ”

Mr. Wu doesn't have the personality to have a surprise party with this.

“Joon-hyung Park is a good batsman. Powers, bat speeds, and musical masterpieces. It's not hard to predict that he'll be able to show this much results. ”

At that moment, Group 2 director Woo Ji-wook mentioned Park Jun Hyung as the subject of the conversation.

However, she quickly realized that it wasn't because she really wanted to talk about Park Joon-hyung.

But it's hard to fathom Jin Yong, you mean.

Lee Jin-yong, he was an unthinkable pitcher.

“I wanted to see the limits. The bottom, so I came back on a difficult stage. ”

Raising Jin Yong at the moment of the incision was also to better gauge him.

“Rather, that only raises questions. ”

However, on the stage, Lee Jin-yong did not become an appraiser, but rather asked a bigger question.

“The problem is that my role is not to win trophies in Group 2, but to raise players for Group 1. ”

And for the director of Group 2, who had to assess the players and train them accordingly, there was no more troublesome player than the underdog.

That's why I called the meta-human for help. In order to raise Lee Jin-yong, I needed to assess him somehow.

However, even the variant couldn't help.

In the first place, the organ of a metamorphosis was to identify and target the player, not raise him.

It's outrageous, but...

Instead, he carefully voiced his own opinion.

Why don't you check if it really works in group 1?

“Checking for immediate power or not? ”

Yes, I am.

The advice made a face to the second-in-command director.

“Send Jin Yong to Group 1? ”

The call up of a player in Group 1 is entirely a Group 1 role.

Of course, if the director of Group 2 asks you to use this player as a call-up, Group 1, who knows his abilities, will gladly call him up.

But it was a privilege not to mention that he was not already a proven athlete, and that he was sent to the first group to be tested.

The director of Group 2 was not as keen as he wanted to do things that way.

You can't accept a request from the First Army.

Variants don't know that either.

Don't you have a team close to Group 1 in the Futures League instead?

That reminded me of the director of Group 2.

“The police department. ”

That's right. Besides, isn't the Trio at the precinct right now? A batsman who did 35 runs last year, a batsman who hit 24 home runs, and three unfortunate monster gods who scored three quarters. · · · · · If binary yields results against three of them.

Then the director of Group 2 smiled.

“You mean you're good enough for Group 1. ”

The call was over.

2.

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Two thousand in April where the sun is particularly warm.

On the grounds of the Second Ground of Angels, located in the Icheon, Lee Jin-yong sat in a dazed seat.

Purpose flowed from Lee Jin-yong's mouth.

“Why didn't he take me on the expedition if you threw so well? ”

After three Home games with Devils II, Angels' next match was three games with the Second Army of the Classic Rangers.

Of course, the athletes who would compete in the expedition took a fabulous bus to Mars, where the Archdiocese Rangers' 2nd Field was located.

However, Lee Jin-yong was unfortunately not on the list.

“It was a two-game tough save! ”

It was hard to convince Lee Jin-yong of his stunning performance before the Devils.

“I've got a six-way streak! ”

As Jin Yong said, he won two saves in two matches in three years.

It was a momentous save, and I didn't throw a lot of balls in the process.

“I threw a necklace! ”

He even showed his surprising performance by mixing the 2-center and rising fastball skills that became A rank.

And you took him away?

“What did I do wrong? ”

Kim Jin-ho answered Lee's question.

There was no problem with your skills.

“Right?"

So there was a problem on the outside.

“What's that? ”

Lee Jin-yong asked with a firm expression, and Kim Jin-ho replied with a serious expression.

He said to himself during the game, saw him doing hohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho hohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho

In response, Lee Jin-yong frowned.

“Phew · · · · · · · ·. ”

Such frowned expressions included the feeling of not being able to deny Kim Jinho's words.

“Should I file a diagnostic letter with a real psychiatrist? · · · · · ”

Why don't we just cut the crap on the mount?

“What the hell are you talking about? ”

Whenever I ride in the Mound, hooray! This shit. It's upsetting for the batsmen. In the Major League, when you do something like that, the sound of a howl will make the batter's head explode.

“Don't worry. You can do it in Korea. ”

On what grounds?

“What's wrong with all the home-run batsmen in Korea? ”

Bat flip?

“Yes, if Kim Jin-ho had jumped in a league where the batsmen were allowed to jump, would you have held still? ”

I don't do ceremonies on the mount, even if I have homeless bastards and bat throwers.

“Really? Kim Jin-ho? ”

If you have the strength to do a ceremony like that, then you have to use it to inject a 100 mile syringe into his ass the second he stands on the tarmac. I can see how you feel about that. What's wrong with a 120?

“That's how you interpret it again. ”

Interpretation, I'm just telling the truth.

“Yes, of course. ”

Even if I tell you the truth, it doesn't matter. Oh, so this is what you saw on the Internet, a factual assault? Yeah? Yeah.

Lee Jin-yong spit on Kim Jin-ho's laugh.

He then activates his Stats window as if he were about to change the subject.

Advancement of the Elders.

‘It's still not enough to go pro. So we need to get as many points as possible. ’

However, Jin Yong did not intend to be satisfied with this fact.

As Jin Yong said, there was still too much to go through in the pro.

And even if it wasn't, Lee Jin-yong didn't intend to give up on greed.

Kim Jinho, too, emphasized whenever he needed, even as he was constantly chatting.

Don't settle for now.

Be a greedy monster.

‘Whatever it is, we need to increase the number of matches. ’

In order to fulfill that greed, I needed to somehow play more matches.

I need an impression. I need an impression. As soon as the director, the coach, cries out, there's an impact on my face. ’

So at this moment, Jin Yong had something more than just a simple result in mind.

With that thought in my mind, I looked up at him.

What? I'm sorry.

Kim Jinho reacted bluntly.

“Is there any way to impress people other than just being good? ”

Kim Jinho said with a deep smile as if he was waiting for the question.

Do you know what they use to compare Japanese baseball or Korean baseball to major league baseball?

“Major leagues see battles without avoiding them under any circumstance. ”

Yeah, well, in the Major League, you don't get to say you're a great player. Then why?

“Because that's what men are for? ”

Being a man means nothing. You don't use a batter for a buck or a pitcher for a 10-point defense rate just because you're a man.

“Really?"

It's better than winning a lottery in Korea if you beat three of the best batsmen in the world's best baseball leagues or hit a home run against the best pitchers. You're making lottery nowadays, right?

Kim Jin-ho pointed at himself with a straight thumb.

That's just me. Those bastards who hit me have been names and names ever since. It's just a huge hit on Kim Jin-ho. And that fact alone gives me a tremendous opportunity. Whoever gets kicked out of the minor league is the guy whose hit coach beat Kim home. Why don't you give me one more chance? Oh, yeah? I gave him a chance. And the man who hit the homerun against me deserves it.

“The more you go back, the more you lie, but if you organize it, you want me to show you something against a player with a name value? ”

Yeah, well, if you did something for 100 points right now, you wouldn't want to come out.

“But a player with a name can't be in the Future League. ”

At that moment, I thought of Jin Yong.

“Oh, there it is. ”

Anybody? - Where?

“The police department. You know what I mean? ”

Oh, the police department!

“Jin Yong Lee!”

At that time, I heard a voice calling Lee Jin-yong, and Lee Jin-yong stopped chatting and stood up and shouted.

“Jin Yong Lee! Here it is! ”

Then he rushed forward with all his might towards the person who called him.

“Coach Park, what's going on? ”

“Go to Cat in three days. ”

“Yes?”

Go to Cat!

Kim Jin-ho said that.

Finally, something's come up! Dispatch to Starz! No, it's not dispatch, it's a return, not a month since we've been in Angels.

Lee Jin-yong's expression was hard on Kim Jin-ho's words.

“Cat, no way. ”

At this moment, the worst picture was drawn in the head of Jin Dragon.

The coach who did not stop to understand how Jin Yong felt continued to talk.

“Yes, I'm going to the police station in Cat. ”

“Yes?”

What? I'm sorry.

“than the director who tells me to run in three years with the police department in three days. ”

In saying that, Kim Jin-ho and Lee Jin-yong's expression magically changed.

3.

Korean men have a duty to serve.

And where there is a duty, there is always a privilege.

It was the same for baseball.

Professional baseball players had the privilege of being relieved of their duty as a soldier.

An Olympic medal or Asian Games gold medal was a privilege.

But not everyone could benefit from it.

As always, there are those who are talented but unlucky, or who are not privileged by a few other factors.

The second option they chose was to play baseball in the military or the police department's baseball team.

For this reason, the commercial team or the police department's baseball team often had young athletes who had already played more than the state level in Group 1.

To the extent that sometimes you think you're better than the first group in a pro baseball league.

Among them, the 2017 police department's baseball team had a line that was hard to find.

There were three of them in the center.

“Oh, I think I ate too much yesterday. ”

A man with a strong body that feels like a slugger that creates a home run at 185 centimeters.

His name is Park Jae-ho.

After graduating from college as a junior high ranger, he made 26 home runs in the 2015 season with a pro in his fourth year.

“Eat enough. If you get rid of all the fans, you'll become a pig. ”

“But you can't leave anything out from the fans, can you? ”

“That was given to me by my fans. ”

“Yes, I'm glad I'm so handsome that I get so much food from fans! ”

A man with a slim figure who reminds me more of a model than a baseball player by his side.

His name is Seon Moon-hyuk.

After graduating from high school as part of Busan Titans, Titan became a treasure trove of titans with a 3-year professional career season, stealing countless loos with quick feet and a long, sophisticated blow.

“Where's Jin-hoon? ”

“Angels, I'm practicing my punches. ”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." ”

The name of the player that became the subject of those two stories was Oh Jin-hoon.

As a member of Dolphins, Gwangju, you are a genius with a chance to win 4 coins for season 3 2016!

Ho, Hyuk and Hun are all nicknames with H in their names.

“More like three fights with Angels tomorrow, right? ”

“Yes.”

Those were the ones Angels had to face now.

“Let's go catch some angels. ”

Skilled people who have proven that they are not enough to be in the lead in the pro baseball league.
