“uh? If so, is there one left?”

“What?”

“Ah, bro. “If I tell you that, he’ll be conscious.”

“Oh, you didn’t know?”

While I was sitting on the bench waiting for my turn to bat, my seniors approached me. But what is left?

“no. Next at-bat… . Let’s do our best.”

“Hey, senior. “Please tell me what’s left.”

“Ugh, well. It’s not like you should worry about things like that. You have a cycling hit, one triple left. Well, it may be difficult. “It’s the perfect gift for the director’s inauguration.”

“Cycling hit?”

Cycling hit. Recording a hit, double, triple, or home run in one game. It wasn’t a particularly great record, but it was a record that was hard to come by anyway.

“okay. Cycling hit.”

“Let’s ride a bike. “I need to set a record.”

In other words, that record is called a bicycle. It would have been nice to set a record, but it was quite difficult to achieve given that only a triple was left.

“Hey, if there are 3 bases left, it’s almost impossible. “Triple bases are the hardest.”

“No, it might be possible because it’s Jamsil. Oh, send it to Hyeonho. “Because he’s not good at defense.”

Would it be possible in the vast Jamsil?

“Wait a minute, isn’t today the first rookie to graduate from high school? I’ve never heard of a high school graduate hitting it. I’ve seen a few new college graduates in the past. Manager! “Can you go out and find the records?”

“Okay, wait a minute.”

The manager who left after hearing our questions soon came back.

“They say he’s the first rookie to graduate from high school.”

Ta – evil!

-Woo Kwan-hyung! Woo Gwan-hyung! Woo Gwan-hyung!

As Woo Kwan-hyung hit a timely hit, the score gap widened to 2 points.

‘2 points difference… . Are you really trying? The first high school graduate to hit cycling as an inauguration gift from the coach… . Not bad? What do you think, Mr. Rossby?’

‘joy… . That’s a cycling hit. It’s not a particularly great record, so what’s the big deal?’

Rossby’s sarcasm as usual. No, the sarcasm was the same as usual, but the tone in it wasn’t the same as usual. … no way?

‘Mr. Rossby, you sure haven’t tried cycling hit?’

‘… … . A big hitter like me doesn’t need records like that. ‘He’s a pinch hitter who hit .400 and won the Triple Crown twice.’

‘Your tongue is sticky? So you’re saying you tried it or you didn’t try it?’

‘This body doesn’t need records like that.’

‘Ah, you mean you haven’t tried it? Hehe, a great record that even Mr. Rossby couldn’t achieve. ‘I’ll give it a try.’

Next time at bat, I’ll definitely hit a triple! If we can make fun of Rossby with this… ! I wanted to make fun of Rossby, calling him a fool who couldn’t even hit a cycling hit.

‘Ugh… . Okay, why don’t you try doing it on your own once?’

‘Oh, we are bound by a contract. Really petty. ‘Since when did Mr. Rossby become such a sissy?’

‘girl? ‘You bastard!’

‘Then from today onwards, I will only have sex with Soyoung. Mr. Rossby, go around and look at women’s panties.’

‘Yi, dog chew… !’

‘Will you help me?’

‘… I get it.’

Hehehe. Rossby is having a hard time with me. How long has it been since this? If I just hit a triple here… ! It was a perfect opportunity to make fun of Rossby more.

‘Then my at-bat comes in the 6th inning, and if I do well, once more in the 8th inning. ‘If it takes two, wouldn’t you hit me once?’

With the explosive power of today’s batting line, there will be a chance to hit twice. In the bottom of the 5th inning, our offense ended with adding 1 point, and in the top of the 6th, our defense blocked JT’s attack, and in the bottom of the 6th inning, it was our turn to attack.

“Senior Suho. Go for it!”

“Suddenly you’re cheering.”

“I’m going to hit a triple, so if you’re not going to get home, don’t go out at all. “Did you know?”

“… Such a fool. Don’t worry. “I’m not a senior who ruins my juniors’ records.”

“Wow, of course senior Kim Su-ho!”

“More than that, don’t be too conscious of triples. “There’s no way I can’t see myself behaving foolishly in a game because of my record.”

“yes. “Don’t worry.”

Even though Kim Su-ho said something, my mind was already full of triple hits. So, if you hit it to left field, you have to hit it well to get a double. You’ll have to push it as far as possible to right field. Push away from the hitting point as much as possible.

Considering JT’s defensive position until the last at-bat, there was a lot of space in right field and along the line. If I just dropped into that space, getting to third base at my speed was a piece of cake. If I land there, there are very few right fielders who can catch me with a throw. If the opponent’s right fielder had shoulders like Woo Gwan-hyung’s, he would have the confidence to run all the way to home.

Moreover, this is Jamsil, which has the largest stadium. Because the stadium is large, home runs are not common, but it is a stadium where fast-moving players can run all the way to third base as long as they hit the ball close to the fence. In other words, the goddess of baseball was smiling at me.

‘Ugh… .’

It was obvious that, like Rossby’s sigh now, the loser’s sigh after this at-bat would become a seasoning that would make this victory more satisfying.

‘I haven’t even hit it yet… .’

‘yes yes. But if you don’t know it properly, it won’t be fun. ‘Did you know?’

Perfect!

Just then, Kim Su-ho made a batted ball that cut into left-center. The hit that cut through the vast Jamsil was enough for Kim Su-ho to land on second base.

‘If there is a runner on second base, there’s no way you can’t get there because you’re blocked. Are you lucky today?’

I was definitely lucky today. It’s as if the sky is cheering for my cycling hits.

-Wow!

As I entered the batter’s box, I could feel the crowd’s cheers getting louder than before. The crowd probably knew that if I hit just one triple, it would be a cycling hit.

‘Okay, I’ll give you one.’

I waved to the crowd once and went to bat.

“Have you already won? Even wave your hand, do you feel relaxed?”

huh? The catcher has changed? When did it change? Did you change it because you gave up a lot of points today?

I wanted to shake this guy up with words too, but now is the time to focus on hitting triples. I ignored the catcher’s slightly changed words.

Swing with the hitting point as far back as possible. Until now, I have rarely thought about consciously pushing. Most of the balls going to the right were hit because the timing was slightly late. Luckily, one of those hits was a home run, but I wasn’t conscious of it.

However, I thought it might be possible. Because today is your lucky day.

‘Fastball, to the body.’

Grab the ball near your body for a push.

“strike!”

‘Chi, if it weren’t for a triple, I would have passed the ball right over.’

The speed recorded on the electronic display board was 143km/h. He was a new pitcher this inning, and his speed was not burdensome to push.

“Have you been lucky so far? “If you see that even if you tell him to hit it, he can’t hit it.”

The catcher’s voice was triumphant, as if he thought he had caught me off guard.

“I was lucky.”

However, pointless arguments are prohibited. Hitting triple was not something he could say he wanted to do. Rather, it is a record that is more difficult than a home run. I couldn’t concentrate on arguing with the catcher right now.

‘Because I haven’t seen the curve ball yet. ‘I’ll have to focus on fastballs on the outside as much as possible.’

‘Body side, slider.’

Hmm. Seeing as he keeps showing his body, does he mean to strike out on the outside? As expected, I was lucky today.

I pretended to be surprised when the pitcher’s slider deflected from my body toward the strike zone.

“cheek!”

“Wow, they come in from this angle?!”

… It wouldn’t have been awkward, right?

“Sungyoon has a good slider, right? “Those right-handed guys won’t even be able to touch it.”

I definitely felt like I could understand why a guy who throws a ball in the low to mid 140s is in the first team entry. It was an act, but his slider was quite sharp. However, since he was a bullpen pitcher, there was no way he could have a better breaking ball than this, and I had already noticed his main weapon.

‘Only one on the outside.’

The time to throw the deciding ball is after two strikes! You can only hold out until two strikes, Ji Maeng-ho!

After that, he filtered out a low ball and took an awkward swing at a clumsy outside breaking ball. A swing that looks like anyone is aiming for the ball near the body. As long as the catcher has his eyes set properly, he can fully know what kind of ball I’m aiming for.

‘Outside, it’s a slider.’

come! Since the timing on the outside didn’t seem right at all, I guess I wanted to try one more outside. Instead, don’t put it in the zone, just enough to elicit a swing. And that ball was the ball I was waiting for.

Ta – evil!

A cheerful hitting sound! As expected, I’m lucky today. It turned out just as I thought. I quickly started sprinting to first base. If I wanted to run to third base, I had to grit my teeth and run from now on.

-Wow!

-Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maengho! Ji Maengho!

The crowd’s cheers let me know that my ball hit the right side. Otherwise, there would be no way there would be such a loud shout. This shout is clearly a shout of congratulations on achieving a major record.

‘Mr. Rossby, where’s the ball?’

‘… … .’

I asked Rossby as he was rounding second base, but he didn’t answer. Tsk, I’m pouting.

‘Then slide to third base… !’

The third base coach wasn’t making any particular gestures towards me. When I saw him raising his hand, he was told to stop at third base. There was no gesture telling me to slide, but I slid into third base to prevent any possible outs. Then he stood up in style and raised his fist towards the home fans.

“Ugh!”

A long roar coming from the Danjeon. And I listened to the cheers of the fans. It was hard to hear when I was concentrating, but if I listened like this… .

-… … .

Why can’t I hear the cheering? Then, shouts and laughter were heard coming out at a slightly slow beat. Why are you smiling?

“What are you doing?”

“yes?”

The third base coach called me while I was looking towards first base.

“What are you doing? Hey, anyway, this isn’t a provocation, is it?”

There the third baseman was looking at me with an expression like he was going to hit me.

“What is that… ?”

“Bitch, it’s a home run, but why does it stop at third base?”

“yes?!”

You passed over? I just swung it lightly? Did you push me? That’s over? Jamsil was the largest stadium in Korea and one of the largest baseball stadiums in the world. But I passed it on?

“Wasn’t it a stop sign?”

“High five. bastard.”

“ah… … .”

“sorry. As you can see, the kid is out of his mind. “Please speak carefully to the director.”

“yes. “At first, I thought it was a provocation and was a little annoyed, but it’s funny.”

The third base coach talks to JT’s third baseman.

‘Hehehahahaha. Haha. Have you ever seen a scene like this? Ha ha ha ha ha. What is a cycling hit? ha ha ha.’

And Rossby started laughing, telling him to leave. Fuck! I guess you knew it was over?

‘I guess I’m really lucky. To push it over with such a clumsy swing. amazing. amazing. Hahaha. This time I was impressed too. ha ha ha.’

‘… ‘Stop laughing.’

“What are you doing. “Go home quickly.”

“… yes.”

I clapped hands with the third base coach and trudged home. plate. If you step on this, it’s a home run.

“What are you doing? Don’t you step on it? No way, I will lose 1 point because of the record. Isn’t it something like this? If so, I think I will be disappointed in you. Ji Maeng-ho.”

Kim Su-ho’s sad eyes and cold words, who were waiting after scoring, pierced my heart.

“… “I’m going to step on it.”

Fuck… . Somehow I got lucky. Argh! Why is Jamsil so narrow? Wasn’t it the largest stadium in the country? How can this be overcome?

“Multiple home runs, it was good. “There’s still one at-bat left, so why not look for the next at-bat?”

“… yes.”

Why am I not happy when I hit a home run?

… And like a ghost, I failed to hit a cycling hit in my next at-bat by hitting an outfield fly. Of course, I won the game.

*

[Then, let’s introduce today’s Distinguished Player, Ji Maeng-ho. hello. Ji Maeng-ho!]

[hello.]

[4 hits in 5 at-bats today. He scored two home runs, a double, two runs, and four RBIs, giving coach Lee Soo-hyun a big inauguration gift. How do you feel?]

[…] It’s nice to win.]

[Ahaha, but my voice seems to have calmed down a bit… .]

[It’s my mood. I really like it.]

-Look at that kid forcing a smile haha. Anyone can see that he looks upset?

ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ I think it’s because I’m not good at cycling.

ㄴI thought you were riding a bike, but ㄲㅂ

[Wow, 8 home runs with multiple home runs today. What is the secret to a home run?]

[I don’t know the secret. I didn’t know that home runs could come so easily. Is it this easy to hit a home run?]

[ah… . Home run was easy? As expected, the confidence of being number one in home runs! I can’t believe he’s a rookie.]

-If Baek Seong-yoon heard it, he would feel terrible haha.

-Home runs were the easiest!

[hmm… . And after hitting his second home run of the day, he slid into third base. Was this an intentional celebration? Or is it a mistake?]

[haha. Of course that was intentional. I regret not being able to hit a triple. haha. It was absolutely no mistake. Not really. haha. under.]

[…] Is your voice shaking?]

[Not really. haha. I’m not stupid. Would you make a mistake with that? haha.]

[…] okay.]

‘It’s a mistake.’

Also the announcer interviewing Ji Maeng-ho.

-Wow that guy, I think it was a mistake haha.

ㄴHow happy would you be if a rookie was able to do cycling? That’s possible.

– ㅉㅉ, how many AT screws must be missing for a rookie to make such a mistake?

ㄴㄹㅇ Team discipline is a mess, the youngest son.

AT fans watching the interview,

-I felt bad because I thought it was a ceremony after a home run, but it was a mistake.

Well, no matter how rude it is, would you hold a ceremony like that?

-If it was a ceremony, I would have gone to Jamsil tomorrow.

ㄴㅋㄹㅇ But now that I know it was a mistake, it’s so fucking funny.

Team N lost. Are you kidding me?

ㄴㄴㄴWe play 6 games a week and we might lose once.

ㄴㄴㄴㄴI’m a fan of the 2nd series?

Then, don’t smile for the rest of your life. Because I lose every day.

Even JT’s fans who watched the sports channel empty-handed after losing the game could all see that Ji Maeng-ho had made a mistake.

[Then would you like to say one last thing?]

[First of all, I am happy to be able to present multiple home runs to the manager on his inauguration day, and I am happy that the team won thanks to my multiple home runs. Also, Jamsil is a bit narrow. No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a hit I could pass over. I feel like Jamsil stole my cycling hit. No, isn’t it normal to not go over it?]

[yes? Uh, uh. You want me to hang up? yes yes. So, it was Ji Maeng-ho of the AT Thunders who won today. thank you.]

-What? LOL Did you tell me to cut off the interview? ㄹㅇ He’s a legend haha.

ㄴㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, my confidence is ruined.

Ji Maeng-ho: Jamsil is narrow!

-Jamsil noona looks narrow haha.

ㄴㅋㅋㅋ Ah, it’s too narrow for Meng Hahaha.

-Shit, hitting a home run and saying something like that is so fucking lame.

ㄴSo why are you interviewing the decorated player after losing the game? Is it Majo?

-Kim Jam-sil, who stole Ji Maeng-ho’s bicycle haha.

ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋ They should have stopped it at Jamsil level.

It is true that Jamsil stole this.

ㄴㄹㅇ If it were wider, I could ride a bike haha.
