Absolute on the Mound

1.

Sunday, April 23.

Sunny two-thousand champions park baseball fields are hotter than usual.

As the clock on either corner of the baseball field began to approach 2 p.m., quiet in the ground that had been cluttered by the relaxers until just before.

Meanwhile, the number of stadiums was increasing.

Among them, it was not only the journalists who looked more than usual.

“How is Joon-hyung doing? ”

“The odds are already five home runs for the fifth. Fourteen more spots to go. ”

“You're chewing on Group 2. With this strength, we'll be able to register as a qualified fighter on May 1st. ”

“It's natural to go up, and the important thing is how to go up, right? ”

The story of such reporters was about Park Jun-hyung.

It wasn't unusual because a lot of reporters came here in the first place to decorate Park Joon.

“It's all good, something's up! There's no story worth telling. I need to play hardball or something. ”

“By the way, when is Ahn Chan-sub coming back? ”

“I heard they're running a story in May. ”

“Enter Group 2 in May, and the Group 1 call will take place around June. ”

“If Park Jun-hyung hits home run against Un-sub again, it would be good to create a story. ”

Because normally, the story would have stopped here.

But today was different.

“More. ”

There was one more new player on today's media roster.

“Is she for Jin Jin? I heard it's small, but it looks smaller from a distance. ”

“I don't know anything else, but I'd like to be named after you if you go up to Group 1. You'll be the best pitcher. ”

The small-scale pitcher on the mount was the one the reporters were interested in.

“You said you captured Htrio all at once. ”

“I spoke to Moonhyuk, and he said he had a strange temper. ”

“Monster? That's an odd expression. Well, whatever that expression is, if it's got Htrio, it's got to mean something. ”

Jin Yong Lee.

Before the final match of the third race against Mars Rangers, he was no longer an anonymous pitcher, but a remarkable player to catch the eye of those watching it.

It was a price I was willing to challenge and win from Htrio.

Of course, the attention, attention and gaze that is pouring towards the mount now was what Binjin wanted so much.

However, it was not good for binary expressions where the mount was tapped into my feet.

Jin Yong, the press and the crowd are all looking at you! Now you're a professional, too!

The reason was to be next to Jin Yong.

“No, it's just to see if I have panty marks on my butt. ”

Kim Jin-ho, because of his pranks, Lee Jin-yong suddenly became a person with strange taste in black panties.

Every time Lee Jin-yong passes by, the Angels look at Lee Jin-yong's butt.

“I'm an idiot to trust. ”

Don't worry, it won't matter if you go to the Major League next year, will it? No, honestly, it's not illegal to wear tights, is it? Maybe the answer is to go to the civil code. Let's stir up the T-Panties!

“Shut up.”

In Kim Jinho's words, Lee Jin-yong turned away from him instead of answering.

Then Doug came to my attention naturally on the third floor.

Of course, there were also Martian rangers who filled the doughouts in the third round.

and the numbers that were filling the heads of the Mars Rangers.

“Phew.”

After checking the numbers, Lee Jin-yong chose to breathe.

Kim Jin-ho came to Lee Jin-yong's side and said,

Jin-yeong, I know you're upset about the panties, but if you ruin the game today, you won't feel bad about it.

At that, Lee Jin-yong nodded.

‘You need to wake up. ’

As Kim Jinho said, today's game was not just a game, but the fate of Jin Yong Lee.

If you mess up a match like that because of the panties, that means it's just a wink for binary.

‘Cause if you mess this up with your panties, you're gonna be embarrassed and retired. ’

And frankly, there's nothing as funny as shifting your mental facade and ruining the game today.

Anyway, professionals talk sexually.

For whatever reason, if the grades didn't come out, the fate of the professional ended with that, and Jin Yong didn't intend to put a stop to his professional life that way.

“Your head is cold, your chest is hot and your teeth are sharp. ”

Lee Jin-yong's eyes flashed sharply as she cast the spell.

At the same time, the batsman who was in the waiting stone lightly unhooked and moved toward the stone, and he shouted that he had checked his watch.

“Play ball! ”

At the same time, you hear a notification from the baseball manager.

[Deal with the lead batsman.]

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

[Proceed to selection.]

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

[Deal with the first batsman.]

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

[Due to the Daily Effect, the Fossil Fastball rank has increased to B rank.]

The game has started.

2.

Mars Rangers' number one typewriter.

On the right batter box, he looks at the pitcher on the mount and thinks:

‘It's smaller than I thought. ’

The pitcher on the mount looks smaller than he imagines.

It was a pleasure for the batsman.

because it couldn't be an advantage for a world where talent is everything, where physical ability is small on the stage, and small.

‘No.'

At that moment, she said to herself,

‘Caution is forbidden. ’

Don't let your guard down.

‘Even if it looks like that, the pitcher has 2 saves against the Devils. ’

As I thought, the pitcher on the mount was a pitcher who looked completely different from what it looked like, and he was the pitcher who made the results.

‘I got Htrio. ’

The Mars Rangers' striking coach also noted that.

Ignore Lee Jin-yong and don't be careless in front of him because his prison is slow and his body size is small.

Of course, that did not mean that it wrapped binary dragons as great monsters.

“No matter how high you evaluate it, the specs of binary dragons are meaningless. A two-sided fastball is special, but a two-sided fastball is not a horse's feet. Most importantly, Binding a two-core fastball for binary is only in the mid-120s, and if you can't hit that, you don't qualify as a professional. ”

Objectively, there was no reason to fear the specs of Jin Yong Lee.

“In other words, the pitcher is not a monster. I'm just a pitcher struggling to get some results out of a lack of ability. That's it. With just skill versus skill, power versus power, technology versus technology, you have no reason to lose. ”

The striking coach told the players.

“So you don't have to look at the situation the hard way. Throw away the obscure ball and actively attack the ball that enters John. But don't let your guard down. Then you can score enough points. ”

If Lee Jin-yong tries to fight, do not get caught up in that fight and hit yourself.

"Coach is right. ’

Yiseong has been reminiscent of that fact.

‘You don't have to get involved in a skirmish. Aim for the ball that enters John. No matter what you throw, there's no reason for me to be pushed from strength and skill. ’

When the chewing was done, the binary dragon on the mount pulled his left foot back.

At that moment, I thought to myself,

‘There is no forward battle. I'm sure he'll throw a small ball across John. Let's just let the ball go. ’

Lee Jin-yong would never go head-to-head against herself.

It doesn't make sense that a pitcher like that chooses a straight forward battle.

It was around the time when Lee Jin-yong's thoughts reached there.

‘Coming.’

After lifting my legs and turning my body into a twirl, a baseball left from the right fingertip of Jin Dragon flew honestly towards the strikezone in Lee Sung, and now he swings the bat without thinking like this.

Baaak!

Then, with a cheerful sound, the ball flew forcefully towards the far, far and left fence.

The ball that flew like that went over the fence.

“Too bad.”

“Paul Homerun. ”

We crossed the foul line together.

“A little more time would have been a home run. ”

You're welcome for Jin Yong.

“At least that's how small the goose feels when you see it fly. He's not even a batter anymore. You've never hit a home run in Group 1, have you? ”

“There's a limit to what a pitcher can do without restraint, no matter how special. Maybe he was really lucky. Honestly, you threw three innings, right? ”

But everyone who was watching the game at this moment thought,

“It's even creepier than throwing a postal ball and getting a postal ball like this. ”

“It's not going to be easy to put the ball in the Strike Zone. Sure, 'cause putting it in John would be like putting your hand in a bomb. ”

Lee Jin-yong on the mount would have felt a chill in his spine instead of sighing relief.

‘Okay.’

The same was true of Yijesung's thoughts.

‘Just don't be careless. ’

Now, I thought I couldn't hit the ball for Jinsung, no matter how much I washed my eyes and looked for it.

‘It's going to get more complicated in my head. ’

At the same time, Ixesung expected the pitcher on Mount to be severely distressed at this moment.

‘Starting at the beginning, pitchers go crazy. ’

The ball in the Strike Zone, it almost became a home run.

It's because I realized that Lee Jin-yong can't even dominate the castle among the Mars Rangers who have no power.

The moment I threw my brawl, I faced the fear that I might get hit by a home run.

Because in general, it was a situation where you had to take deep breaths to collect your mind.

In fact, in this situation, if the pitcher wanted to throw the ball, he would have signaled that even if the catcher stepped up and breathed into the pitcher.

"Huh?

However, unlike Lee Jin-yong's expectations, Lee Jin-yong shared his signature with the catcher and immediately got into a helmet position.

What's going on? Why is it so fast? ’

Instead of worrying, Lee Jin-yong threw the second time without even having time to reminisce about the ball a little while ago.

And the ball that was thrown was like the ball that was thrown just now.

It was a Fossim Fastball coming into the Strike Zone.

Boom!

In front of the ball, there was no reaction.

Without rest, my body was unable to react against the ball of binary dragon that suddenly came in.

“Strike!”

The ball, of course, was given without hesitation.

Damn it!

The moment the warning light flashes in the head of the castle.

At that moment, the catcher hurriedly threw the ball into the meat to Jinyong.

After catching the ball, Lee Jin-yong immediately saw the appearance of Lee's castle, and took a helmet position.

In his appearance, Lee Seong took a beating without me even knowing it.

It was a mistake.

Oops! Time! ’

I should have shouted time! The idea passed through the mind of the castle, but it was already in the past.

Damn it!

Lee Jin-yong threw a third ball towards Izaeng, which became so complicated in his head.

The quality of the ball this time is also the Fossim Fastball.

Course is not in the Strike Zone.

Ixesung's body moves towards the ball without my knowledge.

Fast ball to the Strike Zone, no matter what!

It was a word that was engraved many times in advance. And that swing wasn't bad.

At the very least, it was a swing that could produce a powerful ball to match the fence.

Boom!

If the ball that Lee Jin-yong threw didn't sink less.

I had to come out as the leader so that I could retreat to the top.

At that moment, however, he did not care that he had to resign.

"That pitcher, are you sure you want to use that restraint to battle straight ahead? ’

It was more surprising than that.

3.

“The pitcher Lee Jin-yong looks like he's going to fight against us. ”

At the beginning of the first time, when the third ball was thrown by Lee Jin-yong and the first time he retreated to the flying ball, Lee Jae-seong came back to the bench and said that, no one took the fact seriously.

“A frontal battle? That pitcher? To that prison? ”

Some said that throwing a ball in the 120s was a frontal battle.

“Well, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”

And I was happy that some of it didn't have to be so hard.

Of course, the bench didn't change the plan.

The battlers against Lee Jin-yong are aggressive against the aggressive Lee Jin-yong.

I actively swing a bat at the fastball for binary entering the Strike Zone.

“I'm not getting on!”

“Hyuki hit me."

When the second batsman, Pregnant Hyuk, immediately struck him down, he thought that was the right answer.

“Ah, soldier! ”

“Tsk.”

The third batsman, Oh Dong-su, felt sorry even when he hit the bottle, but none of the Rangers' batsmen doubted that their choice was correct.

What made me feel strange was that Angels also sent the horse once without scoring, and it was at the beginning of the second time.

When Lee Jin-yong dealt with the batter 4 and 5 consecutively with the ground ball in front of the striker.

Batter 6 made his way to Anta in front of the midfielder, but then Batter 7 retreated to the Outer Fly.

“So far, you've only thrown your heart and mind, right? ”

“That's right. I threw a fastball. ”

“I threw it all into John. ”

“Then I didn't even miss it. ”

Around that time, some people began to feel strange.

“When you organize, · · · · · · · you're putting all the fastballs in John, right? ”

Lee Jin-yong faced up to 7 batsmen twice, throwing only a heart and a fox, throwing all the balls towards the Strike Zone.

It was the same even when it was three times.

Lee Jin-yong threw the same.

Without rest, without hesitation, when the batsman stood on the battlefield, he threw a headache or a foam at the batsman's Strikezone.

“Damn it!”

“Fuck!”

And when batsmen 8 and 9 retreated in front of such a simple pitch.

“What is this? Why can't you hit that thing? ”

“You're a 120-year-old fastball! Of course we should hit him when he's a hard-ass and he's a hard-ass. ”

Something ominous began to flow from the Rangers of Mars doughout.

“Zesung, hit me this time! For once, but for twice! ”

In his misfortune, Lee stood on the second stone against Jin Yong, and around that time, the striking coach of Mars Rangers showed the director a chart of the pitch for Jin Yong.

“Director, Lee Jin-yong has thrown a three-inning stint, restraints and course. ”

“This is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Then I found out about Mars Rangers.

“I've never thrown the same fastball against a batsman. Different courses, different constraints, different ball movements. It's the same 120 fastball, and none of it sinks any less. If this is really the intention, then Lee Jin-yong has four kinds of fast balls. ”

That the pitch for binary is not just a pitch that inserts a Fastball into the Strikezone, but a highly calculated and prepared pitch.

“Ah! Another ball of dirt! ”

“What the hell is this? ”

And when Yiseong once again retreated to the groundball of the striker, the Martian Rangers were only then able to hear.

“Hooray!”

Lee Jin-yong, the sound of him treating them as prey now.

4.

What if a very slow fighter were to go head-to-head against the battlers on the pro stage?

Most people will say that they are crazy, that they are unreasonable, and that they will be badly beaten by others.

Of course, if you're a slow fighter, you'll have to perform another skill. Instead of a frontal battle, you'll have to run away and throw away mannequins to distract your opponents and throw a ball like a surprise attack.

All pitchers must pitch aggressively. That's the basics. Common sense.

But Kim Jinho denied it.

Were there any pitchers that you could remember the name of right now that were running away? Did Greg Maddox pitch his escape for slower restraints? What about Pedro Martinez? Surprised Ryan? Roger Clemens. Oh, no junkies. However, none of the fighters who survived left behind their names escaped.

Kim Jinho thought that running pitching was just an expression he made to classify the losers.

Of course, Lee Jin-yong, who was taught by Kim Jin-ho, had never pitched a run.

The important thing is how to attack.

Even against Mars Rangers, Lee Jin-yong was willing to fight as much as ever.

Greg Maddox said, I will not throw the same ball from the mount. If you ask me to throw 80 balls, I will throw 80 balls. This is exactly what a lineman should have.

Kim Jin-ho advised Lee Jin-yong.

You know why I told you to practice throwing slower balls?

At the same time, Kim Jin-ho trained me.

Literally.

If restraint is complete, and even the ball's trajectory is controlled, I guarantee you, you'll be able to make it to Coopers Town unless you run for nine seasons and die in a car accident.

Kim Jinho trained him to throw a slower fastball next to Lee Jin-yong.

You can't throw a faster ball by trying, but you can throw a slower ball by trying.

Every time Lee Jin-yong threw the ball, he corrected and advised me about his helmet foam.

In other words, what Lee Jin-yong has achieved is just the result of all of that.

[You have earned 65 points.]

[You have successfully retired from the Triad. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[We are in the middle of a three-inning flawless pitch.]

[Current cumulative point is 1,545 points.]

“Hooray!”

And as a result of that, Jin Yong naturally expressed joy.

Hey, don't like it too much! Your balls must have gotten a little cooked up since you took a detour. And now the Martian Rangers will change their mission. Even if I get out, I'm not gonna just barge in and punch out like I do now. We're gonna stick together.

“I know.”

However, I was not satisfied with the results obtained.

“That's why you're ready for phase two? ”

That's how I learned.

Damn, he taught me too much. I'm teaching you how to do it little by little, watching you struggle.

“I live because of your grace. ”

When did you say it was your sister?

“Oh, you want my sister? I can't help it. Jinho, call me brother from now on. ”

Fuck you!

To the greatest pitcher of them all!
