Absolute on the Mound

10.

Cut fastball.

Cutter? Good.

It's called a cutter.

A sphere of transverse movement, similar to that of a slider, and instead of having no greater movement than a slider, restraint is a faster sphere, and it was with the beginning of the 21st century that these cutters began a trend.

If you're good with toothpicks and cutters, you can do the same shit with lefties and lettuces on the home plate. Me? I don't use cutters very well. Why? No matter how much I study and polish the cutters, I won't be able to throw them.

And the cutter epidemic was accompanied by the greatest finishing pitcher in Major League history.

Rivera, that much.

Sandman Mariano Rivera.

If you ask me if I can throw a Randy Johnson level slider, I can make myself clear. I can throw. But if you ask me if I can throw a Rivera level cutter, I'll say, I think there's a crazy guy here with cocaine.

Naturally speaking, with Cutter's fashions, countless pitchers have tried to acquire Cutter, and they have made Rivera's cutter their absolute ideal.

Rivera's cutter did. There was something else. Something more than just what it looks like.

That's why many pitchers, baseball officers and batsmen who had to deal with Rivera's cutters began researching and analyzing Rivera's cutters.

First of all, Rivera's cutters are fast. We got 95 miles of foam and 93 of cutters.

Kim Jinho was one of them.

The second is control. Rivera had so much control that she wouldn't put the ball in the middle of the strikezone of the batsman by mistake. If Madox was throwing darts where he wanted, Rivera was cutting the strikezone like a knife.

He also studied Rivera's cutter.

The third is diversity. Rivera had a variety of cutters. Sometimes I'd throw long-slide cutters, and I'd only use them in the post-season, hiding special cutters that were very important.

And I found out.

The last fourth was throwing the ball to split the bats of the batsman, not on purpose.

The secret to Rivera's cutter being more than just a ball, a staple in the history of the Major League.

And he really cracked the batsman's battles.

The trick was to create a performance that would break the batter's battles.

That was the real secret. Think about it. What's most important when batsmen attack pitchers' balls? Yeah, we're definitely imaging the pitcher's ball. Practicing the swing is meaningful if you're imaging it properly, but you can't even imagine it, and if you swing 1,000, then you're just practicing the swing.

It was never just performance.

But imagine imaging Rivera's cutter. Right now, if you were Libera, his cutter would start cracking battles on leftovers.

Rather, it was a highly strategic opposition.

And that gives me goosebumps for a lefty. The split of the bat means the ball hit the thin part of the bat, but what if it hit closer to the grip than that? At that time, your fingers snap, not the bat. A $10 million batsman is imaged with fear that he might be out of the season. That's when the battlers get a horse that they don't want to hit.

It was the most important task for Rivera to make her primary weapon a great weapon.

Remember, the only thing a cutter can accomplish is to split the bat. As soon as it breaks, the cutter becomes a horse's feet.

And now this moment.

Out of the way!

“Oh, my God!"

“What the hell is this bat shredding? ”

“Cutter? ”

Lee Jin-yong, he finished the job.

11.

At the end of the sixth term, all the batsmen of the Rayvans panicked in front of the cutter, whether Lee Jin-yong pulled it out or not.

“Was there such a thing? ”

“Crazy bastard, you've been hiding cutters like that ever since? ”

Moaning flows from the mouths of the Rayvans batsmen and the coaching staff.

At least Utazana and the coaches were able to stop at the sighing line.

“Fuck.”

“What the fuck. ”

“Oh, shit. ”

But the leftists groan and even despair.

That's the kind of cutter a wooden pitcher throws at the lefties.

The left-handed ball is advantageous against the wooden pitcher, making the conventional logic obsolete.

In Ribera's heyday, the switch heaters and two-handed batsmen stood on the right-handed seat, not against the bullfighter.

It was clear that bullfighters with outstanding cutters were equally feared by left-handers.

“Damn, I hate Cutters the most. ”

Moreover, in the Korean pro baseball league, cutters were not yet trendy, so there were not many pitchers that could be properly pitched, but were, of course, quite heterogeneous for the batsmen.

“That cutter, that's no ordinary cutter. ”

Crucially, the cutter for binary was not just a cutter.

“Arrest in 133. Fast as a fastball.”

“Suddenly, it came into my body. The movement is at his disposal. ”

The confinement is 133 kilometers, as fast as the fastball of binary, and the movement is just as sharp as the two-center fastball of binary.

“Look at the split bat. Power is unusual. ”

And a ball powerful enough to destroy a bat!

At this moment, the binary cutter imaged in the heads of the Rayvans batsmen was such a ball.

Bat breaker!

‘I've arranged more leftists to catch Jin Yong on purpose than usual · · · · · Now it's a nightmare. ’

‘Thank God for Uttar Jaya. ’

Because of this, the heads of the Ravens batsmen were only filled with the fact that the only cutters thrown by binary dragons were the ones.

That's why no one questioned it.

Why did he pull out this cutter only six times, not once?

What made me realize that was not anyone else, but Lee Jin-yong.

In the sixth horse, Lee Jin-yong faced the lefty once again, using the cutter to pull out the ground ball, and ended the horse six times in a heartbeat.

And as always, he made me confirm that I had caught the typewriter with my ears, not my eyes.

“Hooray!”

Lee Jin-yong cheered.

However, the cheerfulness has so far been a different cheerfulness from the cheerfulness of Lee Jin-yong.

"Huh?

Huh?

Lee Jin-yong, he looked at Dugout on the third side, not the first floor of the audience full of his fans, and told them.

I control this game from now on!

It wasn't until I heard the Declaration that Reyvans realized.

‘· · · · · · · · · Exceeded. ’

Jin Yong Lee, it was under very careful planning that he pulled out the cutter six times.

12.

There is a saying that baseball is a skirmish.

In fact, it's not just baseball, but everything a person to person puts up is a skirmish.

The weak may also be victorious, and the strong may also be defeated if they lose their strength.

In fact, if there is a conflict between similar power and power that no one can win, the one who has the strength will actually win.

Because of this, athletes and coaching staff use a variety of means and methods to bring about or defend their strength, often expressing such means and methods as operations or strategies.

And those who can do that by themselves are often referred to as Aces.

Out of the way!

“Grrrgh!"

The bat is broken! The ball rolls in front of the shooter powerlessly. Park Hae-young runs. A striker grabs the ball and sings it. He punches.

Outside.

And on June 1st, Lee Jin-yong was proving that he was the Ace on the mountain.

At the end of the seventh run, Jin Yong finishes the inning with a triple slalom and continues today's refreshing pitch.

7 Inning 2pianta, no bolnets, flawless pitch.

The helmet count is 81 up to 7 times!

It shows the essence of efficient pitching. It's amazing. It's amazing.

At this pace, we should be able to finish the ninth inning with less than 100 helmets.

In addition, the helmet count is only 81 times.

That's enough. Even for binary players today, the pitch seems to be six times more intense.

That's right. There's only two battles now, right?

Finally, Lee Jin-yong showed seven more powerful looks than the first time.

Now, I don't think it's easy for a Ravens batsman to score against a binary. What do you think?

If you look at my current experience, what kind of person is that in a situation like this? All I can think about is,

Using a 133-kilometer cutter, they were beating their will with the batter's bat.

“This is not a joke. ”

“Lead with all your heart to the ground against the Utaja, and with the left to the Cutter. ”

“If it doesn't work for both of you, you can use a splitter to grab a triple. ”

“Without restraint, it's complete. ”

To this end, everyone in the press room vomited without any serious admiration.

“Fantastic.”

It was the same for the reporter behind Hwang Sun-woo.

“You're overwhelming the Rayvans, first time this season in a pro season. ”

He also expressed his admiration towards Jin Yong, who finished seven perfectly and went down the mount.

Huang Seonwoo smiled at the appearance of such a junior journalist.

“What's really great is that you took out the cutter six times. ”

“Yes?”

“If I had taken out the cutter in one go, Lee Jin-yong would have made today's game much easier to operate. Isn't that right?”

“Well, of course you did. ”

“But Lee Jin-yong instead gathered his strength and pulled out a number of hidden spleens at the sixth time. ”

“Why?”

“To bring strength. ”

“Are you a guitar?”

Hwang Seon-woo, who was speaking, now looked at the moving ground to prepare 8 seconds.

“There is no chance that scores will be high in Anchan Seop vs. Lee Jin-yong's match-up. It will be a game where no one can win up to 5 times in other words. And in fact, that's what the game was about. ”

As Hwang Seonwoo said, today's match was an amazing level of pitching.

Up to the fifth time, Lee Jin-yong was pitching two pianthas, and Ahn Chan-sub was sticking to Nohit Noron Face with just two balls.

Of course, no one could fathom the outcome of today's match.

“In that situation, Lee Jin-yong brought strength by throwing the cutter six times. As soon as he threw the cutter, the Ravens batsmen who thought the game was going to be ice cold today felt a crisis. It creates dramatic situations by pulling out powerful weapons at crucial moments. ”

In that situation, the cutter that Jin Yong brought out in the sixth time definitely brought the atmosphere of the game to Angels.

“The problem is there's no way in the Ravens to bring that stolen energy. ”

But now the Ravens can't take this situation away from them.

“It will be impossible for Ahn Chan-sub to be stronger than once, to have a stronger look or to have a new look from now on. ”

“Ah!”

Then the junior journalist, as he understood, looked at the ground with a similar look to what Huang Seonwoo saw.

Huang Seonwoo, who had such a subordinate reporter by his side, continued to talk.

“That's the real Ace. Preparing for a match to win a team, rather than preparing for it to perform well. ”

At that moment, Un-sub came up on top of Mount.

Hwang Seon-woo, who saw Ahn Chan-sub, was filled with laughter.

“That's why none of the major league scouts attended Ahn Chan-Seop's return, which was rated as having a talent beyond Yoohyun. ”

The 8th round has begun.

13.

At the beginning of the 8th round, Angels' Doug out was once again full of tension.

To score, I focused on pitchers above the mount.

Lee Jin-yong was also refining her concentration with her eyes closed for the next eight words.

Lee Jin-yong's expression didn't look so good.

‘It's not easy. ’

I tried not to, but I couldn't help it.

Leaving physical strength and throwing the ball for seven innings was hard enough on its own.

Above all, I couldn't be free from the burden of being an Ace because I had to win, but I still felt like I was in a zero-to-zero situation.

Jin-yong, isn't it hard?

Kim Jin-ho spoke to Lee Jin-yong.

You want me to sing for you? Yeah? Yeah.

At that moment, Lee Jin-yong opened her eyes and shaken her head vigorously.

Don't be so nervous.

Then, seeing Lee Jin-yong released from the burden, Kim Jin-ho turned his head to a slight mount.

It's gonna score on this inning anyway.

Followed by Kim Jin-ho's words, Lee Jin-yong gazed at Kim Jin-ho with shrewd eyes.

What's that look? You think I shouldn't have said that? You think I'm talking nonsense?

Instead of answering, Lee Jin-yong changed his eyes a little.

Hey, I'm Jinho Kim!

Even after Kim Jin-ho's words, Lee Jin-yong didn't let go of her face.

Finally, Kim Jinho said.

Come on, I'll show you what a great pitcher I am. I will prophesy to you from now on.

With the horse, Kim Jinho looked at Mount and said.

First, I'm going to throw a fastball eight times. And the restraints will be 150.

In saying that, Lee Jin-yong tilted his head.

It doesn't make any sense.

At the moment, Ahn Chan-seop was under arrest compared to the beginning of the game.

There was not a single ball more than 150 of the fastballs he threw, even if he had seen it seven times.

After seven crucial times, Ahn Chan-seop's helmet exceeded 100.

And you throw over 150 fastballs in eight games?

It was then.

Boom!

“Wow!"

“Oh, my God!"

With a blurry sound that the ball hits the catcher's meat, the startling sounds begin to spread to Doug Out.

“151!”

“Crazy bastard, you threw over 150 balls in eight runs? The helmet count is already over 100. ”

Then there was a specific number.

In fact, Lee Jin-yong opened her eyes wide and looked at Kim Jin-ho in surprise.

I told you, there's over 150 balls out there.

Lee Jin-yong said with her eyes, looking at Kim Jin-ho, who became energized.

How did you know?

It's simple. Right now, I'm just full of thoughts about not wanting to lose to that ugly scumbag pitcher. No, you can't imagine losing.

Lee Jin-yong frowned slightly at the rhetoric that gave her a nod towards herself.

But if we keep going like this, we're going to lose to anyone? So, what do we do? Why don't you go find the director and turn him into a champion, because I can't throw him? "Or you fucking bastards! I'm alive! You're alive, you sons of bitches! Is that what you're going to shout on top of the mountain?

“Damn it.”

Lee Jin-yong answered.

Yeah, that's why I threw the ball with this crocodile, and that's why I got 150.

Kim Jin-ho, who was speaking, soon smiled and looked at Mound.

But if I get my restraints back, there's no way a pitcher can throw a fast ball in this world, is there? Obviously, I'm running low on stamina. And then you get over 150 balls? There must be a reason.

“Over 150, I think the ball is stuck in the middle. ”

“Release points are definitely different. ”

At that moment, the batsmen filling up the bench spit out their words as if they were answering Kim Jinho's words.

He's a pro.

Even if there was something wrong, even if I didn't score a single point today, I survived on stage number one as the leading contender for the team called Angels.

It's not a restraining order, it's a restraining order.

Because of this, they could see that the burning of the flame was no different from the burning of the flame just before Ahn Chan-sub's flame went out.

Maybe he'll take the lead out. But all of a sudden, there was a 150 ball. The second batsman will probably get him, too. He'll get him two outs.

Kim Jinho did a much better analysis than that.

But I'm going to take out two outs, and then I'm going to take a beating or give you a bolnet. If you get hit there, the tension that made you move will be severed.

Beyond surprises, a truly terrifying prophecy.

In the prophecy, Lee Jin-yong's face was stiff.

The sight of Kim Jin-ho who makes such detailed predictions was beyond surprising and terrifying.

Then Game over, Un Chan-sup won't be able to catch even one outcount today.

Kim Jin-ho nailed Lee Jin-yong the last time.

7.2 Inning 3. That's the score of Un-sub today. If I'm wrong, I'll call you Jin-yong. I'll call you Mom.

“Oh, no! ”

I got it!

Creepy nails.

That's how fate began eight times.

14.

It always is.

The bigger the thing, the faster the collapse.

It was the same for Ahn Chan-seop.

At the beginning of the eighth time, he climbed up to the mount and threw a 151-kilometer foam fastball at the beginning, throwing a fastball again and grabbing the two outcounts, leaving only one of the eight outcounts.

Until then, there was no sign that he would collapse.

There was not even a hint of this that he thought would collapse.

Oh, shit!

“Huh?"

“Huh!"

However, Ahn Chan-sub gave up his sadness for the first time on behalf of the number 9 batsman.

“No hits broken! ”

“Oh, it's broken! ”

It was the moment when Ahn Chan-Seop's Nothit Noran broke.

Until then, of course, the Ravens fans who watched the game were still confident in winning.

“Phew.”

“Too bad.”

“I wish we had a notch pitcher. ”

There was only one rider in the first two quarters.

Un Chan-Seop will catch the outcount against the next batsman.

I thought so.

“Son of a bitch, he's breaking nothits. ”

Anchanseop himself was the same.

He was also still confident in winning, so he looked at everything but himself.

That was the baseball that Ahn Chan-seop had been playing, and at the same time he made Ahn Chan-seop the pitcher for Korean pro baseball.

Of course, Ahn Chan-sub had no intention of changing what he was doing at this moment.

I didn't feel the need to change it.

Of course, even when the catcher asked for a slider, not a fastball, he strongly ignored it.

How do you expect Angels to hit a 150-foot ball? These guys can't hit my ball. You sound like a fucking slider. ’

He didn't want to play tricks on Angels.

"I'll show you the level difference. ’

Rather, I wanted to press them with force.

That's more like retribution.

However, for those who had no power, they could no longer be themselves.

Only arrogance.

Oh, shit!

“Huh?"

“Huh!"

And the vengeance of the arrogant begins with the vengeance of the angels.

“I'm not getting on!”

“Big!”

There was a series of hits, with the first player in third and the first player in first.

It was the first time Angels' batsman ever sat in third place today.

And the hits start with number two.

In times of crisis.

“Come on, let's catch one. Chan Seop, just grab one and I'll give you a kiss! ”

“Let's get one count! Just one!”

At that moment, of course, the Ravens fans who filled the cod court prayed for Ahn Chan-sub to escape the crisis.

‘But how do I catch it? ’

At this moment, however, no one could think of a way to escape this crisis.

Ahn Chan-seop, he was a pitcher with shoulders that could throw over 100 speedballs of 150.

Because that was it.

And now the fastball is tapping into it.

In the end, Ahn Chan-sub gave the third successive hits and recorded his first score, and then gave the fourth and last hits to Hong Woo today.

Ah, the director's coming to the mount.

Replaced.

At the beginning of the 8th time, Ahn Chan-sub finally went down the mount without holding the outcount.

At the end of the eighth round, there was now a protagonist in the mount.

Mama, oooh! Didn't mean to make you cry!

With the queen's famous song, bohemian rap sody in the background.

Jin-yong, what's the next line?

“Shut up. ”

Shut up. That's the lyrics. Mama! Whoo! Shut up!

“Damn it!”

‘Even if I don't want to hear this sound, I have to finish the game quickly. ’

To end this game.

“Rising Fastball. ”

‘Finish with a six-way triangle. ’

So began the one-man show for Jin Yong.

16.

There is a saying that baseball starts at 2 out of 9 times.

Although the game was not over yet, on the other hand, just before the game was over, the spectators watched the game with anticipation and tension at the end of the 9th round.

The same was true of Daegu Square.

Even the sound was killing him with anticipation and tension inside the coffin in a two-out situation.

But it wasn't the anticipation or the tension about the Rayvans using the cod as a home.

On the contrary, it was from the current mount to the pitcher just before killing Reyvans' breath.

Whoo-hoo!

Soon the pitcher will grab his last outcount with a triple splitter.

At that moment, the deaf Angels fans who were filled with tension and anticipation shouted.

Hooray!

[You got 155 points.]

[You caught the Trident. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[You have won the final victory. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[Current cumulative point is 21,021 points.]

“Hooray!”

Lee Jin-yong, it was the moment he won the ninth inning.

“Hooray! ”

Then the reporters who were looking at the scene posted an article prepared and sighed for a long time.

“Wow, that's amazing. It's a three-game race! Sambong!”

“No hits, no runs, 10 innings and just a bat. It's just a simple wand. ”

“This is going to be a great article tomorrow. ”

“That writer Ahn Chan-Seop will look good tomorrow. Why don't we just go to the ravens tomorrow? ”

“If you're not Chae-seop, you won't just go to the stadium. He doesn't even show up for his election day, does he? ”

It was a sigh at the fact that the game was over today and that a dot had been placed on the series of Angels and Ravens.

“Sir, it's finally over! Ugh, it's hard to get through the game. Thanks anyway. Since you're all the way to Daegu, why don't you have a drink in a chipmunk? ”

However, instead of sighing, one looked at the pitcher holding his fist in the mount with a more nervous expression.

“Sir?"

Hwang Seon-woo, his junior journalist, who was looking at his nervous appearance, cautiously spoke.

“Hey, the game's over. ”

According to the junior journalist, Huang Seon Woo glanced at him with cold eyes.

Then he replied.

“The game is over, but the real start is now. ”

“Yes?”

“At the end of today's match, Lee Jin-yong's zero point inning has become 40 innings. ”

“Yep · · · · · · Let's see · 7 Inning Fruit Point, then Nohit Noron, 10 Inning Wand and finished today, so I went to the selection and threw 35 Inning, and threw 5 Inning with a pen · · · · · · 40 Inning. That's a great guy. He's practically a quarter-course finish. ”

“About two games now, maybe one can break a legend that won't break Korean pro baseball history. ”

The junior journalist tilted his head.

“What legend? ”

“One of the legends of the climber-free bombers. ”

“Yes? Wait a minute, sir. The legend of the climber-less bomber. ”

“The legend of the 49.1 inning flawless pitch. ”

“Yes?”

“In 1986, there was a chance to break the legend left by a zero-figure pitcher who was never to be seen again. ”

At that point, the junior journalist looked at Lee Jin-yong who was coming down the mount with the same face as Hwang Seon-woo.

< 27.00. Are you that good at baseball? (3). > End
