Absolute on the Mound

8.

At the start of spring training on February 1, a baseball field across the state of Florida started to smell of baseball, with players and baseball fans coming together.

At the same time, the intensity of the training began to increase.

Throughout the week, training, which was nothing more than conditioning, stretching, and light running, gradually began to turn into a training for those who didn't know baseball well enough, such as Longtos, Free Betting, Baseball Running, and Ball Defense Training.

“Strasberg!”

“Stanton is here! The legend of the 60-home run! ”

“Chris Sale! ”

And the stars, like the stars, representing the major leagues, began to emerge one by one.

Of course, the press was also busy.

In order to take at least one more photo of the Major League star, he drove his rented car around several baseball fields in the state of Florida.

‘Finally you're here. ’

Hwang Seon-woo, who is now a journalist covering the Major League, not Korean pro baseball, was also no exception in the adversity parade.

In fact, a major league journalist was very tired both physically and mentally, even though it would be good for his career and connections.

The distance traveled was not comparable to Korea right now.

Although it is busan level in Seoul no matter how far away it is from Korea, if the major leagues are wrong, they will have to spend five or six hours in front of the Economy Stone.

Moreover, the United States was still not an eastern friendly country.

Although not explicit, there was definitely no racial discrimination, including but not limited to physical discrimination.

Nevertheless, it was also the reason why Hwang Seon-woo once again faced a major league reporter.

How's Lee Jin-yong? ’

I want to see Lee Jin-yong's major league challenge from one to ten.

It was natural that Huang Seonwoo ran to the first data field in news of the training competition for Jin Yong.

“Jin-yong Lee! ”

Hwang Seon-woo could see Lee Jin-yong who wanted to see him so much.

“Oh, Mr. Hwang? ”

The appearance of Hwang Seon-woo turned binary.

“It's been a long time, since the Golden Glove awards ceremony. ”

“Yes, it's been a long time. ”

“The awards ceremony was great in many ways. They weren't all in a frenzy. ”

“Yes, it wasn't that much of a commotion after the game. Every time they meet, they say, Call me if you lose any money in the Major League, I'll help you save up any money you want, so make sure you succeed in the Major League and retire there. I ate the whole thing up. ”

“Haha, there's nothing good about you jumping from Korea. ”

Through that conversation, Huang Zhongwoo naturally asked questions like a journalist.

“So what do you think? What about Major League?”

“I haven't seen you throw a major league ball yet. It's a start.”

“Do you have a minute? Can I ask you a question right away? ”

In saying that, Lee Jin-yong nodded.

“Good.”

Hwang Seonwoo immediately took out his smartphone and started recording.

The question came up after that was nothing.

It was a question that everyone was curious about, and Lee Jin-yong was happy to answer, not to mention why he chose Metz, the goal of the season, the player he wanted to deal with, and nothing special about the future.

In addition, there were not many questions.

“No more interviews. ”

“Are you done already? ”

“It's not even the start of the season yet, but there's no need for a lot of interviews. Most importantly, in this time of year, only the answers are prepared. ”

Huang Zhongwoo, who put his smartphone in his pocket, now asked as a baseball fan, not a journalist.

“So which hand are you going to use today? ”

Lee Jin-yong smiled at the question and said.

“Either hand, I'm only left. ”

“What?"

“Only left-handed hits right now. ”

At that, Hwang Seon-woo expressions that he doesn't understand English at all, and Lee Jin-yong said with a similar face.

“I'm only playing in a typewriter today, didn't you know? ”

“Let's get in?”

Terry Collins.

One of the leading directors of the Major League, he has been a director of New York Mets since 2011.

He put New York Mets on the stage for the 2015 World Series.

A worthy applause.

But at the end of the 2017 season, he was thinking about retiring as a supervisor.

He entered the 2015 World Series stage but failed to win and failed to enter the next season.

Collins, who failed to make the post season in 2017, acknowledged his inability to do Mets' homework.

Furthermore, he felt that his baseball had become old.

The only reason he held off his retirement was because of two athletes the captain had arrested.

Jin Yong Lee and Joe Jones.

Among them, Collins expressed his astonishment at the capture of Joe Jones.

‘I never thought the club would catch Joe. ’

In fact, Collins has always wanted Joe Jones.

His prime was great enough to get all the directors drunk, and he needed a catcher like Joe Jones to train Mets' young and strong wild horse.

However, compared to other groups in the same region spending enormous amounts of money without hesitation, the Mets Group was not such a costly team, and it did not even cost more than 100 million dollars to attract defective catchers like Joe Jones.

But the club caught him.

Of course, the surprise disappeared immediately in front of the scouting report on binary dragons.

"What a player! ’

Lee Jin-yong, he was a pitcher that Collins shouldn't have seen.

It wasn't because I was a two-handed pitcher.

‘Perfect, I know how to catch a rider perfectly. ’

That's why Lee Jin-yong pitches perfectly against the batter than any pitcher.

The batter and the pitcher, the two of them are eaten and eaten.

That's a natural period.

However, Lee Jin-yong was different. He was just a unilaterally devouring monster.

As soon as the two players were recruited, Collins no longer thought about retiring.

‘This year is different. I can really do it again to match the name of the Amazing Mets. ’

I was excited and prepared for spring training.

In that situation, the first rehearsal match for Jin Yong was held.

It was standing on the tarmac, not the mount, but I had to wonder, as Collins's director, anyway.

“What kind of player do you think Jin Yong is? ”

What kind of player is Binary Yong?

Tom Gordon answered the question.

“I don't think that's bad. I don't think it's going to bother you during the season. ”

“Complaints?”

“Yes, I think that will be enough after the season is over. ”

Director Collins looks at Tom Gordon with embarrassed eyes.

It was an expression that didn't fit the binary dragon skills that Collins thought.

‘Tom Gordon is a good coach. To be able to oversee a major league in the future. And what makes you think he's gonna give you this assessment? ’

Furthermore, as Collins' director saw Tom Gordon as a talented coach, he was more than surprised.

Tom Gordon shrugged his shoulders as Collins spoke.

“I'm a hit coach. You cannot make any assessments other than striking a binary player. ”

“Ah.”

Then Collins took a sigh of relief, knowing what Tom Gordon meant.

“Huh?"

And at the end of that sigh of relief, I had to question him.

“What does that mean? ”

Tom Gordon smiled at the question.

“You'll see. ”

10.

Helmets and hits are like applause.

The sound of two palms touching makes no sense at all.

A good batsman knows the pitcher's helmet mechanism, while a good pitcher knows the batsman's strike mechanism.

The important thing to do when hitting is to set the strike zone clear. So the form is important. The strikezone of the batsman is made by foam.

In that sense, Kim Jin-ho, who was an excellent pitcher, had no choice but to know more about the batting than the dizzy batsman or coaches.

After that, you have to choose and focus. You can throw the pitcher at all the batsmen with the idea of catching the Trident. But the batter mustn't think of hitting every pitcher's ball. That's the way it's supposed to be. The batsmen need to know exactly what they're doing and only hit what they can.

In fact, Kim Jin-ho had 14 home runs during the Cardinals in the National League at 7 coins for 2 chances of being distributed.

It was never enough to teach someone about the impact.

That's why Lee Jin-yong made his own form under Kim Jin-ho's advice and under Tom Gordon's guidance, and showed it to the world for the first time.

“What's wrong with the form? ”

“What form is that? ”

The form was definitely unique.

As if a frightened rabbit was curled up, Lee Jin-yong was making his body as small as possible.

“You don't look so good. ”

“Don't you look more pitiful than that? ”

“Well, I'm a little bit of a player, but I feel like I have a kid in an adult league. ”

I felt sorry for him.

Wouldn't the pitcher feel pity for throwing the ball at the batsman? That's what I thought.

"Boom!"

However, the visible binary of the pitcher on the mount was never the object of empathy.

Where do you want me to throw it? ’

The strikezone of the batsman is determined by the batsman's body and the batsman's strikeform.

In that sense, the strikezone, visible to Perez, who is now mounted, was small without a chin.

Half the batsmen are big.

I can hear the pitcher squirming.

Naturally speaking, this strikeform was a strategic target prepared by Lee Jin-yong.

‘Even if the opponent is a minor league pitcher, he can only be arrested for over 90 miles. If I'm the only one who's trained to fight a pitcher like that for a week, it's just luck. ’

As Kim Jin-ho advised, Lee Jin-yong first identified her own fountain.

‘This is not a place to test your luck. ’

I also have not forgotten that what I have to do now is not to wish me luck, but to find my way through trial and error without luck.

The strike form was the result of that thought.

‘Roll the ball over the ground somehow and run. ’

While reducing the likelihood of being tripped by making the Strikezone as small as possible, it was an optimal foam for swinging to fit the ball somehow, rather than a joyful batting with full power.

Of course, this was not enough.

The opponent is a minor league player under Mount Mets, but he is still a fighter who jumps more than four seasons in the minor league and maintains a 4-point defense rate.

He has enough talent and potential to attend spring training here.

They are not just strategically able to extract results from a strike-form that has been refined for a week.

"It's impossible to report. Eventually, we need to raise the odds a little bit with hand-to-hand combat. Read pitcher, read ball. ’

That was why Jin Yong did not stick close to the homeplate.

Of course, the pitcher and the catcher noticed that.

As soon as they realized it, they quickly analyzed the situation and immediately spoke to each other.

‘The foam is so bizarre that it doesn't give the strike zone a bad impression, but all the different batsmen are the same. ’

‘I'm a pitcher anyway. A pitcher who's never been hit before. You put a 90-mile fastball into the Strike Zone. ’

‘Then let's just make sure we stick the fast ball inside the Strikezone. ’

‘Okay.’

It would have been a long conversation if you'd said it.

However, the conversation between the pitcher and the catcher was all about the catcher moving his finger twice.

A pitcher, fully prepared, hurls a foam fastball towards the outside of Jin's Strike Zone.

Arrest is 90 miles.

‘Okay, I caught it. ’

Okay, I caught it.

Bin Yong, who intended the pitcher to throw the ball beyond the expected level, waved the bat without hesitation.

Exactly!

So, the ball hit by the bat of Jin crossed over the ground like a waterslide, and went straight between the three runners and the striker.

It was a moment of neat anthem.

“Clever. Tried to get the outside ball thrown. ”

Director Collins was able to understand the meaning of Tom Gordon's words.

‘Like Coach Gordon said, it doesn't really bother you in the middle of the season. ’

Tom Gordon, on the other hand, smiled meaningfully instead of answering Collins' words.

By the time the two in Doug out had a short conversation, he heard a notification from the baseball manager in his ear.

[You got 185 points.]

[You made your first impression. Get a Golden Wheel Pass.]

[You have successfully made your first appearance. Get a Golden Wheel Pass.]

Happy to announce.

Shit, this fucking game of junk.

And Lee Jin-yong, who was naturally annoyed by Kim Jin-ho, looked at the pitcher above the mound without changing his face.

‘You don't see me. ’

I measured the pitcher's psychology through the pitcher's spite, and at the same time I scoured the whole ground, including the catcher.

‘No one thinks I'll do it. ’

It only took a moment to sweep through the entire ground.

"I don't want to show you how the Major League Director's been squirming at you in practice games. I'm more likely to throw the ball if I don't show up. ’

And the amount of time it took to analyze the information obtained by sweeping through the ground in my head was only a moment.

‘If the pitcher ignores me here and does the wind-up, I will jump right away. ’

Of course, it didn't take long for Lee Jin-yong to analyze the situation and make a decision accordingly and take action.

Okay!

As soon as the pitcher throws the ball against the next batsman of Lee Jin-yong, the moment the pitcher ignores Lee Jin-yong, Lee Jin-yong started racing towards Round 2.

“Huh?"

“Huh!"

The unexpected dough!

The pitcher threw the ball in front of the dough, as well as the bulldozer, froze.

[Douro succeeded. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[You have succeeded in the first draw. Get a Golden Wheel Pass.]

Lee Jin-yong, it was the moment when he plucked the dough by poking the opponent's nakedness, not literally the leg.

Kim Jinho said something to Lee Jin-yong who stole the second roughhouse.

Jin-yong, don't even think about going during the season. If you're wrong, you could be crushed by two rookies or a sniper. Well, the director will never allow it now.

Literally.

“Oh, my God!"

Director Collins flashes a red warning light in Lee Jin-yong's head.

‘I need to pay close attention. ’

The team's first pitcher, or the first pitcher, can't do anything more stupid than that if they hurt their fingers while playing the drums.

Of course, Collins was going to put a ban on Jin Yong at the end of this inning.

Lee Manmul did not know that fact.

During the season, the director would never approve of the dough, and during the season, he did not really intend to do the dough unless it was a very special situation.

That's why I did the dough now.

‘That's why I'm doing this. When it's a practice game. ’

It's not a season, it's not a demonstration, it's just a practice game.

because it's like a white war between athletes, in some sense a team, gathering under the name Mets.

"When else could I do it? ’

Here, Jin Yong was going to do everything he couldn't during the season.

Lee Jin-yong's eyes glanced over the base for three times.

That way, the gaze across the three-round base went past the three-round, past the catcher, toward the pitcher and then across the whole ground.

‘There is no restraint. Death is not a loss. ’

As it was a moment ago, everything happened suddenly, and Lee Jin-yong who finished his decision chose to breathe.

“Hooray.”

Haha, you lunatic.

Kim Jin-ho, who knew Lee Jin-yong's intentions in the sound of breathing, poured out a laughter.

And as soon as the pitcher threw the second ball against the batter standing on the platform, Lee Jin-yong once again raced towards the third floor.

This time, the catcher who caught the ball did his best to go to the third floor.

It was a really powerful song.

It was not a ball, but a Song Song that looked like it shot a laser beam, and it was a Song Song that was so fast that it could not be compared to the footsteps of Jin Yong.

“Ah!”

The problem is that the third wheel didn't catch it.

“I lost it!”

Go, go, go!

As soon as the ball dropped behind the third runway, Jin Yong who stepped on the third runway is now running toward the groove without hesitation.

No more speeding!

At the end of that sprint, Jin Yong stepped on the homebase.

[Succeeded in the third round of dough. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[First time on the third row. Get a Platinum Wheel Pass.]

[Scored successfully. Bonus points will be awarded.]

[You have successfully scored your first goal. Get a Platinum Wheel Pass.]

Lee Jin-yong, it was the moment of flagging that matched his name as Amazing Mets.
