“… “Minjun throws well.”

In the beginning of the 5th inning, as Kim Min-jun was about to achieve his 4th triple strike, a senior muttered. And I agreed with that sentiment.

‘Oh, I shouldn’t do this.’

If my at-bat comes back in the 6th inning, it will be my third at-bat. If things continue like this, there will be four at-bats, and even if his teammates give him strength, he will have five at-bats. It is virtually impossible to get six at-bats. There was no reward in being the number one hitter.

‘I didn’t plan on something like this, but he throws it rather well.’

Chae Jae-hyun, who pitched yesterday, also pitched well, and it definitely felt like Hwasan pitchers stepped up.

“It didn’t feel like this when we met in August… .”

The previous game against Hwasan was against two mercenaries and five starters, so we were able to easily sweep, but it was difficult because there was a one-two punch. … Other players than me.

“Is Kim Min-jun really having a hard time? “It’s just two pitches.”

“Hey, it’s you who says that. How does that kid hit that slider?”

Choi Jin-cheol, who heard me talking to myself, reacted to my words. Choi Jin-cheol’s performance today was 2 at-bats with 2 strikeouts. It seemed like he was completely stopped by Kim Min-jun’s Easy Choice.

“I just can see it.”

“I envy your youth, I envy you. “When I was young, I just ignored it.”

Choi Jin-cheol’s sigh echoed loudly in the dugout. He himself didn’t like how he looked today.

“Eh? “Jincheol, didn’t you give a shit about your grades when you were young?”

“Ugh, what do you mean by fucking your brother? Everyone has been influenced by Ji Maeng-ho, so the club has no discipline. Discipline. AT wasn’t originally like this. Yoon Cheol-i, since when did AT become like this?”

“Well, that’s true, but it’s true that I got fucked.”

“Ah, why is your brother doing this too?”

When Choi Jin-cheol first came to the club from Mirae Buffaloes, it seemed like it would be difficult because he was from Mirae, where discipline is strict, but it seems that other seniors are now comfortable with Choi Jin-cheol.

‘Well, that’s it. Fake news needs to be fixed.’

“Senior, no matter how much I do, I won’t say that I screwed up my seniors.”

I corrected Choi Jin-cheol’s statement that the club lost its discipline because of me. There is no one in this club whose hierarchy is as clear as me.

“What, you never said that to me? “Where are you going?”

“Ah, I don’t think people who can’t do it are seniors.”

“Haha, then Meng Hao was thinking that I was a senior. Hey, then how many of your seniors are in this club?”

“About 4 people?”

“Let’s see, if there are four people… .”

“If there are four of us, it’s Jincheol hyung and Gwanhyung senior. Sangju hyung and Suho hyung? “Is that the end?”

“hey! So you didn’t think of me as a senior until now? ?!”

Damn, did I tell the truth? I should have added one or two more people. Except for Choi Jin-cheol, other seniors nearby started approaching me.

Perfect!

Just before the seniors could bother him, Han Young-jin, who started as the 8th hitter today, hit the ball high. The result was a poor infield flyout. As expected, Kim Min-jun produced the fourth three-way inning.

“now. Let’s focus on defense. Even if you can’t be treated like a senior by Meng Ho, shouldn’t you be treated like a junior? Did you see what this bastard did to Junhu? “If you fall under him, you’ll be really screwed.”

“Wow, how good am I to Junhu?”

Sometimes we go to clubs together, and this is a good thing. Cancer, right.

The bottom of the 5th inning started with Choi Jin-cheol’s words, and I don’t know why, but the outfielders showed a super catch and blocked the Hwasan attack with a three-way throw in the bottom of the 5th inning.

“Even though we’re winning 2-0, you know the game’s not over yet, right? “Now that it’s the 6th episode, let’s go with a fresh mind.”

“yes!”

“invincibility!”

“AT!”

In the top of the 6th inning, where I quickly strengthened my fighting spirit during cleaning time, my at-bat came back with one out.

“Did I hit a slider in my last at-bat?”

As soon as I came to bat, I muttered something to myself so that the catcher could hear. Of course, I didn’t forget that I hit a home run in my previous at-bat. I just wanted to see the catcher’s reaction.

“… … .”

It’s nice to be quiet. In his first at-bat, he muttered incoherently.

‘It’s a fastball.’

‘Did I change it because I told you to?’

I waited for Kim Min-jun’s first pitch, and his fastball hit the outside corner. It is unclear whether it is a ball or a strike. It was obvious that I wouldn’t hit a good ball even if I tried, so I skipped the first pitch and waited for the umpire’s decision.

“… cheek.”

‘I guess it was ambiguous. ‘I see the decision is taking a long time.’

‘It’s a fastball this time too.’

‘okay,’

The guy’s ball hit the outside again, and when it came inside the zone, he tried to blow it away, but this time it went wide outside.

“cheek.”

Two balls in a row… .

“You can’t avoid it just because you hit a home run.”

“… … .”

The volcano’s gunner remained silent. And Kim Min-jun’s third ball flew in.

Perfect!

My bat hit his ball, but the ball hit an ambiguous outside edge and did not enter the ground.

‘One strike, two balls. It’s betting time, though. Should I give him a good ball?’

‘It’s a curve.’

‘yes? Curves?’

Throwing a curveball here? Although Minjun Kim is a two-pitch type pitcher, he does not throw curveballs at all. In terms of pitch usage rate, around 5-6%? A guy’s curveball that flies a lot, with 3-4 flying per game.

He didn’t throw that curveball once today, and it seemed like he was saving it for now.

‘Yesterday he gave me a change-up, and today he gave me a curveball. ‘You prepare a full meal?’

You might have thought you could get a strike if it was a curveball that was never shown, but since you know the pitch in the first place, there’s no way you could be fooled. If you’re expecting it, the curve is just a slow ball of shit.

The ball left his hand, and I followed the trajectory of the curve with my eyes. and… .

Ta-tah!

Although it hit slightly on the top of the bat, it felt good. The direction of the hit is to the right. The powerful ball flew far away. However, it was unclear whether it was a home run, so he threw the bat and started running toward first base. The right fielder was seen chasing the batted ball.

‘Are you going to pass?’

‘I’m not sure.’

It’s a ball that even Rossby can’t be sure about. The right fielder jumped and extended his glove toward the batted ball.

-Wow!

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

And a shout reminiscent of Jamsil erupted. Just hearing the cheers made it feel like it was our home stadium. I slowly circled the base while receiving those cheers.

‘Wow, but it was a bit dangerous. Is it because it’s been a while since I’ve had a curve? ‘How did I get through it?’

‘You can’t believe I’m passing this over. The more I look at your power, the more outrageous it becomes. After all, an orangutan… .’

As I stepped on base with Rossby saying something that seemed like a curse or a compliment, the next batter, Kim Soo-ho, was waiting at home plate with my bat.

“The home run was good.”

“Of course you should hit it. How dare you throw a curveball?”

“This is the first Kirven that came out today, and you managed to get the timing right. By the way, when you get to the dugout, change your bat.”

“yes? why?”

“The bat broke.”

After listening to Kim Su-ho’s words, I looked at my bat and saw that it was slightly cracked.

“Wow, if the timing wasn’t right, I would have been screwed.”

Is it because the bat was broken like that? In the remaining at-bats, he was unable to add any more hits and ended with one walk and one stolen base. His record is 2 hits and 2 home runs in 4 at-bats. We were able to finish the game with a pretty good record from the first day.

*

-AT Thunders, 2nd consecutive win over Hwasan! Ji Maeng-ho had 2 hits and 2 home runs in 4 at-bats!

… … AT won 4:2, confirming the winning series. … … Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho recorded 2 hits and 2 home runs in 4 at-bats, almost confirming his batting average of .400… … .

ㄴAssuming he has 16 at-bats in the remaining four games, he only needs to hit two more hits. It’s actually over.

ㄴI can’t believe I’ve seen a hitter hit .400 in my life…..

ㄴㅇㅅㅁㅅ

Wow, if I hadn’t gone to the Asian Games, I would have lost my record haha. Can’t I just not go to the Asian Games and set the record?

I have to get a military exemption.

– Volcanic Falcons sprinkle pepper powder on the AT! 11:3 Great victory!

… … The AT Thunders suffered a blow to the Hwasan Falcons when Kim Chan-young, who appeared as a starter, collapsed. … … Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho continued his commitment to 60-60 by recording 1 hit, 1 home run, 2 walks, and 2 stolen bases in 3 at-bats.

-Ji Maeng-ho, will he set a new home run record? The obstacle is Jamsil Stadium?

… … Ji Maeng-ho, who said in an interview that he would aim for 61 home runs, hit 56 home runs by hitting four home runs in the game against Hwasan. There are 5 home runs left until Joo Hyung-jin’s new record. But the schedule did not smile. AT Thunders are scheduled to face UG Overlords in Jamsil this weekend. The entire nation is paying attention to whether he will be able to break through the walls of Jamsil and set a new record by hitting 6 home runs.

ㄴDon’t pick on the reporter bitch.

5 home runs in 3 games? In fact, it seems difficult

-Can Ji Maeng-ho do 60-60? To be honest, 5 home runs in 3 games is impossible, and I think I can hit about 4, but is it possible to hit 4 home runs and steal 7 bases?

It’s almost impossible.

ㄴIt should have been driven out in the volcano battle, but it would have been difficult because it was UG.

-Honestly, isn’t this more than Joo Hyung-jin? That’s 56 home runs at .400 lol.

ㄴI guess I have to admit it to this extent haha 50-50 is not even someone’s dog’s name haha.

-Wow, I heard that the baseball world is in an uproar these days because of a player named Ji Maeng-ho, so I saw him and he was really handsome. I think I’ll be a fan too haha

ㄴIt’s famous these days haha.

What about my husband…

Is your husband important? Just looking at Ji Maeng-ho’s face makes me feel good haha.

-Ha… It looks like he can hit 60 home runs as a fierce defender, but the opponent is tough… Why is it UG?

ㄴㄹㅇ If I had played against Charlotte, JT, or Mirae, I would have just gotten through haha.

ㄴBut I think we will win the game, UG is our fucking house these days haha.

ㄴWhy don’t you include NV?

I don’t have a good feeling against NV, the fierce god of defense. I don’t know why, but AT is the only team in the bottom tier that has a bad record against NV.

While the entire nation was paying attention to Jamsil to see if Ji Maeng-ho would be able to achieve a new record, the coaches of UG Overlords were also paying attention to Ji Maeng-ho.

“This series is the last AT match with Ji Maeng-ho. “If we think about fall baseball, we should try out here.”
