“Wow, is it the Silla Sabbath today? Look at the lineup. “You’re telling me so openly?”

“Isn’t it time to relax because it’s summer?”

“Well, those bastards hang out with Hancheol on the weekend. This week’s rotation starts with Radette, right? “It looks like we will definitely take 4th place.”

As I was looking at the faces of the female fans coming in one after another from the dugout, I heard the voices of my seniors interrupting my viewing. I was a little annoyed because it interrupted my enjoyment, but since I was the youngest, I had no choice but to endure it.

‘Tsk, should I match this?’

The black man’s voice broke my excitement, so I spoke to my seniors.

“But why the lineup?”

“They removed everything except the outfield. Cheolyoung doesn’t appear and neither does Hwanwan. “My senior brother didn’t show up either.”

“Oh, I see?”

After hearing the words, I looked at the electronic display board and the names of Park Cheol-young and Kim Hwan-young were not there. And the name of veteran third baseman Yang Je-hyung. You can’t believe they left out the starting infielders at this important time when the battle for rankings is underway. There must be only one reason.

“Well, they don’t know either. “The fear of this Ji Maeng-ho.”

I realized that there was no chance of winning this match as long as I was there. It was true that I needed a break because it was a hot summer, but it came out so blatantly. Shinra Triggers was pretty cute.

“Envy you. “The world revolves around you.”

“Cronx, this bastard is good. “Thanks to me, you get to eat well.”

“[Hey, Ji! Did you call me?]”

Fuck, I’m surprised. After the misunderstanding was resolved, we started dating women together and our relationship got better, but I couldn’t help but be surprised every time he hooked up with me like this.

“[Okay, play hard today. My brother will help me.]”

“[Okay, Bro. Please take good care of me today as well.]”

I have such passionate fans that I can’t possibly not do them a favor. Consider yourself lucky, Krongs. I normally don’t talk to male fans, but consider it an honor.

“Now, come out. “The game begins.”

“All right.”

At the words of the head coach, we took our gloves and went out to the ground. Perhaps because it was summer, the sun shining brightly made me feel like I was celebrating today’s victory in advance. As I was looking at the sun with my sunglasses on, the national anthem rang out in the stadium.

[East Sea and Baekdu Mountain… … ]

‘Well, since it’s 45 home runs, I guess I’ll hit over 50 home runs before August, right? There are 41 stolen bases, so if you add 9, you get 50 stolen bases. Ha, but it’s so hot I don’t want to run… . Still, thinking about the Asian Games, I feel like I should run now… . Oh, I don’t know.’

As I was listening to the national anthem and thinking about various things, I heard the referee announce the start of the game as soon as the national anthem was over.

[At the beginning of the first inning, Shinra Triggers attack. Batter number 1, Lee Eun-chong.]

With the announcer’s words, Shilla Triggers’ center fielder Lee Eun-chong came to the plate. Lee Eun-chong’s eyes were also quite fierce, perhaps because Krongs, a hot mercenary pitcher in the league these days, was standing on the mound.

‘Would you like to check Crongs’ condition today? I wish I could strike out everyone if possible.’

Since it was the middle of summer, the weather was hot and it was difficult to defend. Plus training and sex that continues every day. No matter how much I am, I felt like I was a little lacking in stamina these days, so I wanted to feel at least a little more comfortable in the game. Because I couldn’t stop having sex.

“Strike~!”

First pitch strike. It started well.

‘I don’t think you’ll have any trouble today at this rate, right?’

Perfect!

Crongs’ second ball was a foul hitting the back net. From then on, it was Krongs’ count. Crongs, who had been pushing for two strikes from the start, slightly threw a manned pitch and struck out Lee Eun-chong, the difficult first hitter, on the fifth pitch.

“Longs, it was good!”

As I encouraged him, Crongs looked back and grinned. And a raised thumb. Seeing as he had time to give a thumbs up, he felt like he was in good condition today. Crongs easily struck out the second batter, and Silla Triggers’ mercenary hitter and right fielder Lasiel Puig came to bat.

Puig, Silla’s black mercenary, was expected to come in as the 4th hitter with his unique power and batting skills, but he seemed to have come out as the 3rd hitter today to focus his batting power as the main players were rested.

Perfect!

Then, Puig hit Crongs’ first pitch, and the batted ball flew high. Near second base.

“My ball.”

The ball comes right away even if you don’t move your body. After calling the call, I caught it without even raising my glove to the sky.

“Hey, look at me being insincere? “Is your drink out?”

“Well, this is light.”

When I caught the ball with ease, Puig, who was the batsman, seemed a little upset. It wasn’t anything I cared about, though.

“Look at him fussing. “I’m angry because of you, kid.”

“Why is it because of me? “I guess I didn’t hit it well.”

“[Hey, Ji! It was good defense! “A defense team that shows concentration and will not waste energy.]”

… Crongs, this guy is all good, but sometimes when he praises me like this, it feels like he’s making fun of me. However, I was very confused because the expression on his face was one of pure admiration.

‘If I get caught later, I’ll have to beat them up or something.’

As we entered the dugout, promising to do it later, Lee Ki-cheol encouraged the batters, probably feeling good about the three-way strike.

“Now, since Crongs blocked it with a three-way strike, let’s just lightly score one point. “Typers can do it.”

Well, even if that wasn’t the case, Lee Ki-cheol seemed to be in a pretty good mood these days. From what I heard from Hyejin, it looks like she received a bonus last month because her batting performance improved a lot compared to last year. I was a little annoyed that I gave up that bastard’s bonus, but I could tolerate it to some extent because it was being used to raise my son.

“Meng Hao, is your youngest not answering already? “Get out.”

Fuck you, you’re tripping me up for no reason.

“… yes.”

“Come on, let’s go! invincibility!”

“AT!”

“… AT.”

After responding to Lee Ki-cheol’s singing, drowned out by the voices of my seniors, I sat down on the bench.

‘Lee Chang-jun… Did you say that? I’ll have to check to see what level it is. There wasn’t much to see in the video.’

I thought that Kim Joo-yeop would be able to check Lee Chang-jun’s level. And then our attack began in the bottom of the first inning. After 5 pitches, Kim Joo-yeop hit a hit and reached first base.

‘Well, there’s nothing special like you saw in the video. Velocity is around mid 140s? The slider is a bit bent, but it’s not something to worry about.’

It may have worked at the second-tier level, but this is the KBA league. And we were the hottest batting lineup in the KBA league.

Perfect!

Kim Su-ho also got on base with a hit that passed cleanly between the second baseman and the shortstop, and I also headed to the standby at-bat to coincide with the weather warning.

‘I’d like to easily score 1 or 2 points.’

And just in time, the weather forecaster hit Changjun Lee’s first pitch.

Ta – evil!

A light hitting sound and a ball flying far away. Right fielder Puig follows the batted ball. The voices of AT fans grow louder with big batted balls.

-Wow!!

– Weather warning! Weather warning! weather… .

But that voice ended in a sigh as Puig caught the batted ball of the weatherman. And runners who tag up. With a big batted ball caught in front of the fence, the situation was now 1 out, 2nd and 3rd bases.

‘Fuck you.’

It was a good situation to score points, but it was the worst situation for me, who was aiming to be the Distinguished Player today. In this situation, there was only one strategy for Silla’s bench to choose. It’s an intentional phrase. Because I was showing excellent batting skills, it was clear that no manager would be so foolish as to skip the pitch when first base was empty.

“Ah, Kabbi. “I thought it was over.”

“Senior, if you’re going to do this, just don’t hit me. “It’s because of my senior that I ended up being deliberately attacked.”

“Sorry, but can you not hit that?”

“Well, the ball is so stupid that it’s hard not to hit it.”

After chatting with Ki-joo Ki for a moment as he entered the dugout, I walked to the plate.

‘Tsk, if this goes on, Choi Jin-cheol has a high chance of becoming a distinguished player, right?’

Choi Jin-cheol with bases loaded and one out facing a left-handed pitcher. It wasn’t easy not to score first.

“Hello. Let’s go quickly. “It was intentional anyway, right?”

After saying hello to the umpire, I spoke to the catcher. But the catcher did not respond.

‘It’s not fun.’

‘It’s a first-pitch fastball.’

‘… yes?’

Fastball… Throwing it? You didn’t skip it?

‘Fuck!’

It looks like these bastards haven’t come to their senses yet. These crazy guys need education.

‘Take one hit and come to your senses. ‘You bastards.’

A little time passed and Lee Chang-jun did the windup. As soon as he takes his foot off, the ball flies… ?

“uh? uh! “Fuck!”

I saw the trajectory of the flying ball and immediately ducked. And the ball he threw passed right where I was standing just a moment ago. While I was dumbfounded, 3rd base runner Kim Joo-yeop and 2nd base runner Kim Su-ho advanced and scored 1 point, but it was a strong feeling.

‘What the fuck? Mr. Rossby! ‘Where was the mitt?’

‘It was a low ball in the middle.’

I didn’t ask for a body ball, and even a low ball came over my head?

‘Fuck, these bastards… !’

“sorry. I missed the ball too much. “I think Changjun was nervous.”

“… “It’s missing, right?”

There was deep confusion in the catcher’s voice. A tone of voice that said it was not expected at all. If this was an act, this guy should have been on TV, not wearing a catcher’s mask. In other words, this must be the pitcher’s opinion… .

‘Usually, when a left-handed pitcher loses the ball, he goes to the left, right?’

‘What kind of nonsense are you saying? Do you do baseball one today? Just by looking at it, it looks like they came out aiming for it.’

“That’s fun.”

“… huh?”

I collected myself, ignoring the catcher who made stupid noises. Obvious provocation. There was no reason to avoid the fight.

‘No one has touched me since before UG. Looks like that wasn’t enough. ‘Maybe I should have soaked one more person then?’

This is why you must not show weakness. I should have just hit the catcher’s head and the pitcher’s head.

“sorry. “Changjun seems a little nervous, perhaps because it’s been a while since he’s been on the first team stage.”

The catcher offers an apology once again. Yes, I will save you.

The game resumed, and the pitcher started shaking his head. Probably rejecting breaking balls and throwing fastballs.

‘Is that right? Shall I not?’

My reflexes were enough to avoid his balls, but I was a little worried.

‘That’s right. That way, I can hit you comfortably.’

‘… ‘Isn’t that true too?’

I was planning on hitting him, but it was obvious that if I didn’t hit him, I would definitely be severely punished. So a justification was needed.

‘Come, I’ll give you a hit.’

The guy did the windup again. And then the ball flies towards the body again. I jumped and turned backwards, and felt a strong pain in my back.

“uh?”

“Are you okay?”

“You want to fight, right?”

Without needing to hear an answer, I threw the bat and started running towards the guy standing on the mound. The guy standing on the mound was staring at me intently, wondering why he was so proud.

“Wait!”

“Ji Maeng-ho!”

I run towards him, ignoring the sound behind me. The distance between him and me is about 10m. I saw him take the glove out of his hand. The corners of his mouth quirked up, and he seemed to be slightly ignoring me.

‘Ha, fuck. Now all the fucking bastards are sticking to me.’

“what?! what!”

The pitcher guy screams when we make eye contact.

‘The cub seems to be a bit scared.’

Considering the catcher running behind me, I can only hit him with two hits. The distance between me and him is getting closer. The guy who had taken the stance swung his arm towards me first. I struck his right fist away with my left hand and thrust out my right hand.

‘First of all, hit with your right hand first!’

puck! I felt the heavy blow from my fist hitting the guy’s chin.

‘With your left hand again!’

When I was about to raise my left hand like that, the guy disappeared from my sight. And my left hand split the air.

“… huh?”

As I looked down, I saw the fallen figure to my left.

“what… ?”

I thought he was just a guy who was having fun because he came out confidently, but is this the end? It was so absurd that I was embarrassed.

at that time,

‘Ji Maeng-ho! ‘Look to the side!’

… Rossby’s cry was heard. When I heard Rossby’s voice calling my name, which he didn’t usually call, I looked to the side and saw a black object running from right field.

‘Fuck, when did this bastard end up here…? !’

“hey! it’s crazy!”

And before I knew it, I could feel the presence of the catcher running towards me.
