Absolute on the Mound

4.

A famous mountain mountain in Goyang, the Seoul police training ground situated under that mountain.

There was a baseball field here where young people who supported the ceremony were trained before becoming the ceremony.

It was the home of the National Police Baseball Club, a baseball team under the Police Department, and the Seoul Police Training Ground.

It's called a wallpaper baseball field.

Wow, that's a great baseball field.

Naturally, the wallpaper baseball stadium was in many ways worse than the other pro baseball stadium.

Hey, Fence, look, Fence.

From the size of it right away.

It's a little over 100 meters to the fence.

105 meters to the center fence of the baseball field.

Yaaa!

It is the largest baseball field in South Korea, and is rated as large compared to major league fields by a distance of 125 meters to the center fence.

The difference between a baseball rink and a baseball fence is 20 meters.

The horse is a 20-meter difference. It means that a fieldfly that can be caught by an outdoor beast whistling on a nightstand becomes a home run that cannot be caught by an outdoor beast jumping 3 meters from its place on a wallpaper baseball field.

This is a home run, even if we miss it.

So another nickname for the wallpaper baseball field was the wallpaper cube.

I can't even get Coors' business card out of here.

It was nicknamed after the home run as much as the home run in Rockies, Colorado, which is one of the major league stadiums in the highlands.

Yeah, maybe God's finally trying to put you through the right thing.

The tomb of the pitchers.

“Htrio!”

Even in 2017, there were three men in the police force who didn't want to make that tomb hell.

“Park Jae-ho seems to be getting bigger. I thought they told you to die in the winter. ”

“I think Seon Hyuk has grown a little too. This is troublesome. He's a good runner. ”

“Where's Jin-hoon? What, you're practicing swing? Crazy son of a bitch, you're still training for the game? It's poison, after all. ”

Jae-ho Park, Moon Hyuk Seon and Jin-hoon Oh.

As the Htrio of the Police Department, they were preparing to make the battlers' seals mount a cruel wooden baseball field.

Is that them?

Kim Jin-ho and Lee Jin-yong knew that better than anyone.

The big one has 105 points and the one next to him has 101 points. I'll give you 100 points for the other one I can't see.

Among the countless batsmen here, the only player with a three-digit number was them and Park Joon.

That's why at this moment, Kim Jin-ho looked at Lee Jin-yong and said.

Jin-yong, please take care of the deceased. I guess that's your luck, too.

However, Kim Jin-ho's words were not heard in Lee Jin-yong's ears.

‘Just grab it and you'll get 300 points. 400 points if you don't add up the extra points here. If I catch those three here, it's also a bonus for noticing me in group 1. ’

At this moment, Lee Jin-yong was already a hunter looking only at the prey.

‘Then of course we should kill him. ’

Just like the man he can see.

5.

The fun and scary thing about baseball is that there is no fixed time.

1 to 9 times.

The time to start in baseball is fixed, but the time to end is not fixed.

No matter how badly the pitcher is beaten on top of the mount, even if the pitcher spends more than 30 minutes to stop the first inning, this means that there is no decrease in the inning.

Today, the baseball squad and the pitchers of the Angels II felt the fear of it all over their bodies.

Baaak!

“I'm over it.”

“It's over.”

Top 8th.

As soon as the home run came out with a cheerful strike across the ground, both teams took it boldly and gravely.

“Is this the ninth time you've played today? ”

That was the ninth home run of today's game, which made everyone's grave.

“From once to eight times, there are no innings that haven't come out of the home run. ”

“Not a home run race. ”

No matter how rare it was, it was often buried in front of him. Even a home run called a baseball flower was bored when I saw it nine times.

“Both teams have two-digit scores · · · · · · · handball matches. ”

Of course, there were also many scores from both teams based on the home run.

“Twelve to thirteen, score one. ”

The police department's baseball scored 12 points by the end of the seventh term.

And now, in the early 8th, Seoul Angels II scored a home run with 13 points.

“It's a battlefield.”

The battlefield was a match that matched so well.

“A nightmare for pitchers. ”

It was also a game that made the pitchers' faces look like they saw ghosts.

“Nightmares, this is hell, hell. Hell, no.”

Hell of a pitcher.

In such a hell of a situation, it was a place called Bullpen, where the pitchers waited for their mounts to come up.

Jin-yong, it's over again!

In many ways, Bullpen was also a poor baseball court.

From the location.

The green net that fluttered over the fence was all about sharing the fire pen and ground right next to the ground in which the game was played.

The moment I saw it, I thought it was an outdoor fly, and I shook my head. But there's a home run.

This means that the pitcher can see, hear and feel the batsman's home run in real time.

Thanks to Lee Jin-yong, who was relaxing in Bulpen, and Kim Jin-ho, who had no choice but to go next to him, was able to see the disaster that took place in the ground in real time and saw the pitchers bowing their heads to the batsmen on the mount.

At last, Lee Jin-yong has a cloud in his baseball life.

And, of course, Kim Jin-ho desperately wanted Lee Jin-yong to climb that mount.

God, please put Jin Yong on that mount at the end of the eighth time!

In other words, it means that there is no more despair than riding on a mount at the end of the 8th.

Bam!

That's why the bullpen pitchers throw a particularly weak ball at the bullpen.

“Jin-woo! You fool! Does it make sense that someone over 140 throws a ball like that right now? Throw it properly!”

“Oh, coach, that's what's going on today. ”

“Coach, my shoulder hurts a little. ”

“Well, I've got a bit of a back. ”

Furthermore, it was the reason that the pitchers threw the ball out of the pen, each with a weak sound and a scream.

It was a sight that was hard to see in Group 2.

Players in Group 2 must somehow demonstrate their skills, possibilities and values to their supervisor and coach.

They have to insist that anything that hurts is necessary.

I want to play somehow so badly that I can hide my injuries, get hurt more and then retire. What more explanation do I need?

But now Angels' bullpen pitchers are weakened in front of the coach.

“Are you fucking kidding me? ”

Towards such athletes, Sung Young-hoon, the coach of Angels II's Bullpen, opened his eyes.

However, that was the end of Sung Young-hoon's anger.

“Do it right! Wake up! You've got to work hard! Somebody's got to mount up eventually! ”

You don't need a two-man army who just howls and pulls the results out of the players.

“You have to get your helmet on, even if you get hit! ”

You have to understand what the players are up to and understand what the mind is like to be a real coach.

Sung Young-hoon, Group 2, Bullpencoach, was that coach.

‘This is what I said, but I don't want to go either. ’

At this moment, Sung Young-hoon Bullpencoach knew that the tougher things than anyone else were the weaker players.

‘If you go out, you'll get hit. ’

Future League game scores remain.

Very clearly and very clearly.

Remaining grades are a very important indicator when attempting to call up a player in Group 1.

Of course, we don't just look at numbers.

When posting scouting reports for athletes in Part 2, write enough of them to see who they have thrown the ball against in which game.

But the way the world works, it's different for people, it's different for people to see.

After all, the first thing you notice when you see a group 2 pitcher as a group 1 coaching staff is the defense rate.

But what if the pitcher's defense rate isn't good enough?

This pitcher's defense rate is more than 5 points for running in group 2? Tsk!

Once you kick your tongue, the rest won't come to your attention.

However, the defensive rate of firefighters rises vertically after one wrong match.

That's how defense rates are calculated.

What was the defensive rate of the pitcher when he threw the pitcher up to 9 innings? It's an indicator of that.

A defensive rate of 10.0 means that if the pitcher throws 9 innings, the pitcher will score 10 points.

That is, if the pitcher scores three points on the first inning, the defense rate on that day of the pitcher will be 27.0.

In that sense, leaving today's game, where the defense rate has to go higher than ever, is no different than writing pink on their bodies.

‘And the 8th starts from 1. ’

Even the eighth term, the baseball squad of the Police Department started from the first.

‘Even the best pitchers in the 1st Army would not want to face that trio. No, it's hard to be sure of anything other than a Bullpen Fighter in the 1st Army. ’

At the end of the eighth round, the pitcher had to face the runner-up of the Junes who had achieved 35 runs in the first batsman pro baseball league, then the slugger Park Jae-hoon who had scored 26 home runs in the pro baseball league as the third batsman, even if he had a league top.

‘Today, the three of them combined scored 7 points. ’

Welcoming those three batsmen from the beginning was nothing else, but welcoming them here on the walled baseball field was like putting my hand in dessert in the mouth of an already hard-eating beast.

‘There can't be anyone left who can stop those three. ’

Critically, today, Group Angels II was leading the game.

It meant winning, and so far, the Angels II had sent out only the most reliable pitchers they could.

That means that the fighter has already finished the pitcher, and the remaining pitchers in the bullpen are all of the members of the chaser or vanguard.

In a situation like this, who would want to open the door to hell on their own?

There's no reason to do that without going crazy.

But there's one maniac everywhere.

There was a madman like that in Bullpen in the Second Army of Angels.

Boom!

“You're just scratching your brains out. ”

Like talking to coach Sung Young-hoon, the pitcher talks to himself in a very loud voice.

“On a day of home-run lies, it's a great ambition to lead the way. Of course! It's even better if you use the chain business well! ”

A pitcher who talks unthinkable nonsense.

‘Phew.'

Jin Yong Lee.

Only in situations where everyone tries to hide themselves and disguises themselves as weak, he reappears.

He was making a childish advertisement as if he wanted to be put on the horse mount 8 times right away.

"Hey, what the hell are you? ’

In fact, Sung Young-hoon Bullpencoach did not even snore.

Lee Jin-yong's soliloquy was not wrong.

Clearly, you should raise the pitcher to induce the ground ball rather than the flying ball at the field where the home run bursts.

It is also true that when pitchers draw the ground ball from the batsman, the quality of the pitch is transformed fastballs, two-center fastballs and change-up.

But that's the story of athletes who are somewhat above average.

‘Everyone hates going out, but they protest so much that they want to let themselves out.' ’

A pitcher throws a fastball in his mid-120s, a two-center fastball, and it's just a home run ball.

Of course, Sung Young-hoon Bullpencoach knew that Lee Jin-yong threw an amazing ball.

‘This is the first time in my coach's life I've ever seen such a jerk. ’

But surprising and crazy are different laws.

What Lee Jin-yong is doing right now was not surprising, it was just crazy.

“Coach St. ”

At that time, a coach over the net approached Sung Young-hoon Bullpen.

“Director wants you to post Jin Yong on the eighth try. ”

“What?"

Sung Young-hoon spoke to Coach Bullpen again and emphasized briefly.

“The 8th time, Jin Yong! ”

At that, all the pitchers in Bulpen smile brightly.

“Hooray!”

All of those pitchers, of course, included binary applications.

6.

pitchforks are like glass, so once they crack, they collapse beyond control.

Because of this, pitchers come out in games with a lot of scores.

The pitcher who started scoring keeps scoring.

Rather, it is called fighting on the floor that raises the pitcher that continues to launch the batsman. Throwing the ball is punishment.

After all, the mounting of such a pitching match is the worst.

It's not a metaphor.

The ground of the mount, trampled on by countless pitchers, crumbles miserably.

That mount looks like shit.

The mounting soil on the baseball field was not very good.

The mount was now closer to the surface of the moon than the mount, as Angels II's homefield was sorry to compare to the mound made of dirt airborne in the Major League.

Lee Jin-yong, standing on the mount, was chewing gum without a word.

Kim Jin-ho said something when she saw him.

It's the perfect mount to be beaten and whipped at home by the fall of the balance when pitching.

That was all Kim Jinho said.

Among the horses Kim Jin-yong passes to Lee Jin-yong, there was not a single word like the rider today, what kind of ball to throw, and how to attack.

It wasn't because Kim Jinho genuinely didn't care about Jin Yong or wanted him to collapse, and didn't want to give advice.

‘I waited only for this moment. ’

I was so prepared that I didn't have to say it anymore.

That the preparation is perfect so that even Kim Jin-ho no longer needs advice.

‘The preparations are perfect. ’

It was never unreasonable confidence.

Rather, it was an objectionable, reasoned confidence, and the basis for that was the role of those three players.

‘I've had video analytics analyzed dozens and hundreds of times with Kim Jin-ho, no one else. I've run dozens of simulations. ’

Until now, most of the players faced by Jin Yong, most of the battlers who faced him, were not actually informed.

A really simple, crude level, even if it is.

This batsman was a type of batsman, had some grades, and had a level of information with letters.

However, the players in front of me were different.

Htrio, the data on the three is overwhelming. The number of pages in the scouting report was different and the footage was high.

I even got the data from Group 1's power analysis team here. ’

Essentially, there was data produced by a team of power analysts in group Angels I.

Most batsmen, of course, develop over and over again to get away from such analyses.

This is why batsmen who scored 3 chances to win, hit 30 home runs and had a successful season revise their strikeform and change their direction throughout the winter.

Now, when athletes go around with their iPads, looking at the videos that they analyze, players who don't change in the era of attacking can't survive.

‘Above all, that trio stood on the tarmac according to that data. ’

But Htrio at the police station was different.

They didn't have to change.

In the Future League, they didn't have to excel. Just because they played two halves in the Future League and hit a 10-home run doesn't mean their club won't use them when they go back to Group 1.

They were clearly different from the other group 2, the only ladder to go up to group 1.

All they needed was the fact that they kept playing baseball.

The same goes for the Police Department Baseball.

The police department's baseball coaching staff has already corrected the strikeform for the three same players in their original club, change the strike balance, or do you want to place that spell?

Maintain skill, do not get hurt.

They just ask for these two things.

In other words, the purpose of maintaining the phenomenon is during their military service as members of the police force baseball.

Those three were trying to stay the same at the police station.

‘Just as I expected last year. ’

And Lee Jin-yong was able to turn her predictions into convictions while watching Htrio play today.

‘But if you can't catch it, you don't deserve to be in group 1. ’

That's why at this moment, Lee Jin-yong was willing to become a hunter, without worrying.

With that look, I looked at 35 degrees on the threshing floor, Joon's typewriter Hyunhyuk, and the number 101 shining on his head.

“Play ball! ”

And so began the eighth sentence.

“The first inning of magic. ”

Lee Jin-yong started hunting.
