“hello! Ji Maeng-ho! “Congratulations to the outstanding player of today’s game.”

“Ah yes. what.”

He responded calmly to the reporter’s congratulations.

“Did you hit the 60-homer mark today by hitting three home runs? How do you feel… please?”

The reporter was momentarily taken aback by my casual answer. I tried to make it seem like I was happy about the reaction, but since I was the type of person who couldn’t force myself to do that, the tension had no choice but to be lowered.

“It feels good, but it doesn’t feel good.”

Because it felt really good, but it also felt bad.

“yes? By hitting 3 home runs today, didn’t you reach the milestone of 60 home runs, something only one person in the history of Korean professional baseball has ever achieved?”

I answered the reporter’s question with sincerity, but the reporter didn’t seem to understand me. In that case, I have no choice but to kindly explain.

“First of all, I can tell you that I hit 60 home runs. And although the season is not over, for me personally, it was the last game of the regular season, and I feel good that I was able to live up to the fans who came.”

“So?”

“However, I’m a little disappointed that I hit an outfield fly in my last at-bat. So I don’t feel that good.”

There’s only one reason I’m not in a good mood. It was because I didn’t like the last at-bat. He was so conscious of hitting 61 home runs that he went for a home run swing and ended up getting caught in the batting wall. Perhaps because he was too forceful with the ball targeting the low strike zone, he was unable to clear the fence in his last at-bat.

‘Fuck, even if I hit one more anyway, it’s 61 home runs, so it’s not a new record, but I’ll just get on base with a walk and steal base.’

If he had gotten on base and succeeded in stealing bases, he could have achieved another record of 60 home runs and 60 stolen bases by adding two stolen bases, but he just added one batter who could not surpass Joo Hyung-jin with 60 home runs.

If we had just aimed for another record, we could have received more attention, but we overexerted ourselves and couldn’t even set a record…

“wow. Of course, Ji Maeng-ho! Incredible! So you’re more concerned about one at-bat where you didn’t hit a home run than the three at-bats where you hit a home run? “As expected, it’s a great sense of professionalism.”

‘… What is he saying now?’

I laughed because the reporter was interpreting my words however he wanted, but it wasn’t a bad misunderstanding so I didn’t bother to correct it.

“After all, you have to have this kind of mindset to set an incredible record, right?”

“… Yeah, whatever. Yes.”

“Well, first of all, I want to talk about today’s game. You hit the first pitch in your first at-bat and retired. “How did you feel at that time?”

“Honestly, I was kind of happy.”

“You were happy?”

“I thought UG was unmanly by avoiding winning throughout the three-game series, but I was glad that there was still one manly pitcher in the club.”

“Aha, ha. okay.”

“Austin Webb. Although he is my opponent, I think he is manly. Even though he knew he would hit a home run, he challenged me. That’s not easy. haha.”

“ah… . … yes. ah… ! So next question. 40% has been confirmed through today’s game. This is the first record since the first year of 1982, and he recorded the highest batting average of all time with .401 3 ri, surpassing former Baek Un-cheon’s record of .401 2 ri. How do you feel?”

“Oh, is that a new record? I feel good. But I’m not particularly concerned about the batting average record.”

“yes?”

“Not even the major leagues. Batting average has no particular meaning. More than that, I wanted to break Joo Hyung-jin’s record… . It’s a bit disappointing. Let me compete, all two days… . under… . Anyway, next year I will focus more on home runs and try to go beyond 61 home runs and reach 70 home runs.”

“… and. hmm… . okay! ah! yes. In addition, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS broke all-time records. What do you think about that?”

“It’s good.”

“… end?”

“Actually, I didn’t attach much importance to percentage stats until I got to the majors.”

A .400 hitter in the Taiwanese league and a .400 hitter in the Mexican league. I don’t know if it exists, but even if it did, the ratio stat meant something to me.

“That’s amazing. If it were a normal person, I would have been really happy… .”

“I’m not an ordinary person.”

“ah… . yes. Yes. then… .”

A reporter eagerly looking for a question to ask. He probably expected that I would give a different answer and had prepared a question. I felt a little sorry for him, so I decided to help him.

‘Well, the face is even and smooth.’

“Well, it’s almost time, but I’m always grateful to the AT fans who support me. And everyone, please look forward to the Asian Games. I will come back with a gold medal. Well then, thank you for your hard work.”

After finishing speaking, I coolly walked towards the dugout.

“yes? Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! … Until now, Ji Maeng-ho was the AT Thunders player.”

I heard a reporter calling me from behind, but I ignored it. When you help women, you have to act cool like this to have an impact.

‘Ha, a bastard like me. It’s so fucking cool.’

-[KBA] Ji Maeng-ho’s path will soon become a legend.

… … Ji Maeng-ho appeared in 115 games this season and recorded ratio stats of 0.413 (1st in history), on-base percentage (1st in history) of 0.528, slugging percentage of 0.991 (1st in history), and OPS of 1.519 (1st in history). Although the season is not over yet, it is believed that it will be impossible for any player to surpass this record during the remaining 15 games. In addition, Ji Maeng-ho did not have the all-time first place record in terms of percentage statistics, but he set enough records to take first place in the season. Ji Maeng-ho currently has batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, as well as hits (182), home runs (60), runs (122), RBIs (157), and stolen bases (58). It ranks first in eight categories.

Among Ji Maeng-ho’s records, the record with the highest probability of not being able to secure first place is in the hits section. In terms of hits, Ji Maeng-ho has currently hit 182 hits, and he is followed closely by Park Cheol-young with 173 hits, Ki Ki-joo with 167 hits, and Lee Eun-chong with 163 hits. Since there are at least 15 games left during the Asian Games, Korea’s first record of winning 8 gold medals is virtually impossible.

In addition, 122 runs and 157 RBIs are also being followed closely by latecomers, and attention is being paid to whether the team will be able to secure first place during the 15-day period during which the Asian Games are held.

On the other hand, the records that clearly rank first are home runs and stolen bases. Ji Maeng-ho is in first place with 60 home runs, followed by Choi Jin-cheol in second place with 42 home runs. Except for Choi Jin-cheol, other batters have yet to surpass 40 home runs. In fact, it can be said that Ji Maeng-ho is confirmed to be the home run king this season.

In addition, in the stolen base category, Ji Maeng-ho (58 stolen bases) is followed by past steal kings such as Kim Dong-jin (Hancheol Grizzlies, 46 stolen bases), Park Cheol-young (Silla Triggers, 43 stolen bases), and Yang Ji-hyuk (Hyunseong Madcats, 42 stolen bases). . However, Kim Dong-jin was called up to the Asian Games, and Park Cheol-young and Yang Ji-hyuk have also never recorded 50 stolen bases, so unless something unexpected happens, there is a high possibility that Ji Maeng-ho will become the king of stolen bases.

Meanwhile, the most surprising record that Ji Maeng-ho achieved this season can be considered WAR. WAR is a record that examines how much a player contributed to a team’s victory compared to replacement players, and Ji Maeng-ho rewrote the history of Korean professional baseball by recording 16.7 and 17.3 on two sites, respectively.

The previous record was 15.31, set in 1986 by Taeyang Hyun, a legendary pitcher who dominated Korean professional baseball from the 80s to the early 90s. The highest record among batters was 12.01, recorded by Joo Hyung-jin in 2003, surpassing all previous legends’ records and announcing the birth of a new legend.

… …

… Everyone’s attention is focused on what kind of shocking record Ji Maeng-ho, who is certain to advance to the majors, will write on the Korean stage.

ㄴIs this a person’s record? ㄷㄷ Is this a record you see in some game ㄷㄷ

Wow, what a mess.

No need to say anything. I’m just a fan of baseball.

60 home runs in .400. Just GOAT

ㄴWe live in the era of Ji Maeng-ho.

ㄴJi Maeng-ho, so does he work in the majors?

I don’t think I can write this record even with Trout.

Is Trout possible?

ㄴㄴI can’t do it because the pitchers filter it out haha.

-[KBA] Ji Maeng-ho, interview controversy! Korean baseball is meaningless?

… … Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho is causing controversy by saying that he does not attach much importance to the records achieved in Korea. …

ㄴNothing special, it’s a controversy haha.

ㄴㅅㅂ I don’t like this bastard who opens his mouth like this.

A young player can say this

ㄴThis guy just ignores all his seniors. If you do well, you have to be humble. ㅉㅉ This is not the only player who ended up scoring a goal.

Even if you add up the WAR of those guys, it doesn’t match the WAR that Ji Maeng-ho accumulated in his first season.

ㄴIt’s rather likeable, isn’t it? Aren’t you saying you don’t care about the record and just play your own game?

ㄴㄴㄹㅇ He said he was in a bad mood today because he hit a bad hit in his last at-bat.

ㄴㅉㅉ There’s not a lot to worry about.

A bastard like this should be expelled from baseball. Looks like shit at other players

ㄴㄴI see you’re angry, are you a UG fan?

ㄴPlease don’t slander a national treasure player. Ji Maeng-ho is a treasure that Korea must cherish.

-The God of Fierce Tigers is also really funny haha It’s the best season ever, but I’m getting criticized for the interview at the end haha

ㄴThere aren’t many posts swearing, but it’s funny that there are. If Woo Kwan-hyung or Kang Han-beom had set a record like this, there wouldn’t be a single curse.

Actually, even when Woo Gwan-hyung got 3,000 hits, there was hardly any swearing, but this guy has so many, it’s funny haha.

-Ji Maeng-ho, am I the only one who doesn’t feel affectionate?

What can I say, it feels like I’m too arrogant and have no respect for the other person? If you have that level of skill, you should be humble. Every single word I say is so off-putting. How can a fluke last a year, but can such a cocky player really have a long run?

Just worry about that player^^

Haha, isn’t it because you’ve been beaten so badly that you’ve lost your mind?

ㄴRight now, today too, Sunsoon was annoyed because he was out in his last at-bat. Please pay attention to the players on your team. Don’t just mention someone else’s team player.

ㄴI also agree. AT should teach players’ character first.

-Is this level of fierceness acceptable in the majors?

ㄴUnconditionally, if it doesn’t work, it’s Eva haha.

If it’s 40%, it looks like even Major will hit 30% and 5%. Choi Joo-tae also fell by about 4%. Wouldn’t it be similar for Fierce Tiger?

ㄴWow, I can’t wait to see Ji Maeng-ho get to the majors haha. ㄹㅇ It seems like a shit bar record is meaningless to Maeng Ho-shin haha.

-Didn’t there be a ferocious meme of Fierce Tiger today? I see that every time a record is set, it is set at the same time.

ㄴYou weren’t there today? And they say it protects one’s heart.

Hmm, indeed…

ㄴSomeone I know is in the same class as Ji Maeng-ho, and that person is called ㄹㅇ ㅈㅈ? That older brother is a fierce warrior and he is so fucking big haha.

ㄴㄴI got my part-time job at Fierce Protector haha SY Agency is doing a good job haha.

-I saw a story about a fierce warrior today haha.ssul.

I saw Tiger Tiger at a club in Gangnam, and he was there with Aga Junhu? The two of them were drinking alcohol lol This is a proof shot, I cropped it so that only the fierce warrior is shown.

How did you take the picture? I don’t take pictures with men who are fiercely protective.

This is a woman

ㄴThe photo of Fierce Protector came out well.

ㄴMeng Hao, let’s not just drink and drive.

ㄴRead more stories.

Are you not solving it?

This bitch got divorced.

“Ji Maeng-ho! Please give me an interview! “You were called up to the national team. How do you feel?”

Tuesday is when the national teams convene for the Asian Games. There were reporters lined up in front of the training ground who had come to cover me.

“Sorry, I’m a little tired.”

But there was nothing to say in response to those reporters. First of all, I was so tired. Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to see her for a few days, I just wanted to sleep a little right now because all my girls had gathered together and had a celebration party from Monday morning until this morning. Even for me, it was difficult to have sex for three days without a night’s sleep starting on Sunday night.

“Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! “Just one word!”

I ignored the reporters who urgently called me and moved on quickly.

‘Whew, it’s still our first meeting, so I guess I should sleep for two hours, right?’

First meeting with colleagues convened for the Asian Games. In order to overcome the momentum, I first needed to get my body under control. Leaving behind the voices of reporters moving away, I went into the largest room in the hotel and started to sleep.
