Chapter 171 – Chapter 169. Special Training. (4)
Ha, I wanted to show you properly. I mean it didn’t fit well from before. Is it because I changed the swing trajectory as Rosby said?
My score today is 1 hit in 3 at-bats. The fact that the first hit didn’t go over the fence and the other balls were caught in front of the fence was also an unfortunate trend.
‘Didn’t you say that your talent exploded before the game and you hit 5 hits in 5 at-bats?’
‘… If things went the way I thought, I would have won the WBC.’
Rosby, who was pouting next to him, was especially unlucky.
‘It’s definitely difficult because you don’t know the location. Still, the score difference is wide, so I’ll have to keep trying.’
While I was thinking about that, the meteorologist called me.
“Hey, Ji Maeng-ho.”
“Yes, senior.”
“Sweeup, I’ve been wanting to tell you since I was competing in literature….”
“Yes.”
“Don’t pump it up too much. Now that I am resigning, I go all the way to the fence, but if it was Jamsil, I couldn’t even go to the warning track. I usually don’t say things like this during matches, but my expression looks dark. Tsk.”
The weatherman was also telling a similar story to Rossby.
“Does your senior look like that too?”
“Okay. And there’s too much power in it. Starting from before UG. Take some power and do it. You know that when you put in power, your muscles get tense and your swing doesn’t go smoothly, right? You know right? Ha, this is because the major league kids are of a different race from us. That it is full of power But don’t you know why there aren’t any kids who swing so stiffly in the majors? They all know it too. That you don’t need that much strength to get over the fence.”
The weatherman began to tell the story, adding to the story he knew.
“He started again. Is it a ferocious tiger this time?”
I could hear another senpai’s muttering nearby, but the weatherman didn’t care and started to explain. Even until Kim Su-ho, the batter right before me, went to the waiting at-bat.
“………. Okay? Hey hey! Are you listening?”
“…… Yes.”
“I don’t think this bastard is listening?”
“…… Yes.”
“You fell behind.”
“Ah! Jokes, jokes!”
When the weatherman approached and tried to hit me with my helmet, I quickly got up and grabbed my equipment.
“Ah, senior! I have to go to the waiting at-bat right now!”
At my urgent cry, the weather forecaster stopped walking. Hmm…. But does it seem so powerful? Maybe it was because I didn’t know the location, so I felt impatient. Okay, relax and let’s go.
– Wow!
Just as Kim Joo-yeop, the ninth hitter, got a hit and left, the resignation began to stir. Of course, with the cheers of away fans.
‘Whoa. Let’s relax Don’t be conscious….’
The score has already changed to 8:0. Charlotte’s third pitcher was on the mound.
-Kim Soo-ho! Safety! Kim Soo-ho! Safety!
From the third base side, excited AT fans could be heard chanting Kim Soo-ho. Kim Soo-ho’s performance today was 3 hits in 3 at-bats. It was something that fans couldn’t help but be excited about.
‘Sweep, I should have called them all.’
On the other hand, I felt a bit sick to my stomach because I hadn’t been able to get on base except for the hit in the first inning. Those cheers should have been directed at me….
And today, Charlotte’s third pitcher, Park Joon-yeol, who was conscious of Kim Soo-ho’s sense of hitting, dealt with Kim Soo-ho with a pitch that easily escaped.
‘The average speed is around 143, curve and slider. Well, nothing seems to have changed from what I saw during the power analysis.’
“Base on Balls!”
Kim Soo-ho, who picked out a walk, slowly walked to first base. Kim Soo-ho saw 6 balls. He wasn’t bad for running the simulation.
‘With a little bit of strength….’
Before he goes to the plate, he resets his mindset and gets into it slowly. The situation is 2 out, 1st and 2nd base.
‘It’s a fastball.’
Rossby’s words, which he has grown accustomed to after three at-bats. Probably, since I gave Kim Su-ho a walk, I thought I would want to put the first pitch as a strike.
‘Should I watch it?’
Park Jun-yeol made a pitching motion. He had an 8-point lead, so perhaps he thought there were no stolen bases, so his pitching motion was a windup. The boy’s hand swings wide. He didn’t even have the heart to hit it anyway, but I felt that his ball went a little deep into his body.
“Cheek.”
“You said this didn’t come in?”
“It’s gone.”
“… Chit.”
The catcher gave the ball back to the pitcher while shouting ballmen.
‘A good choice. The next ball… It’s a curve.’
Will the curve come lower? There will be no idiot in the world who deliberately throws a high curve. I decided to watch this curve as well, judging that if he has the ability to control every corner, he is not an 8-run pitcher.
‘Also!’
And as I expected, his curve came in low.
“Cheek.”
“…….”
This time, without making a sound, the catcher throws the ball to the pitcher.
‘Hmm. I feel like I’m getting a little bit of something.’
Originally, I often just listened to Rossby’s pitches and hit them. However, such cases were usually when the pitcher’s control was so severe that the position of the catcher’s mitt was meaningless. But now, watching the pitcher’s ball without such conditions, I felt something.
“What, are you still lacking?”
But nothing has been clarified yet.
“Maracano. Do you have the spirit to say that you are lacking in seniors?”
“Talk to yourself, talk to yourself. Why are you overreacting?”
“Baby….”
Why is this baby burning alone? Did you lose your mind after getting hit by 8 points?
‘It’s a fastball.’
‘Yep.’
A low curve on the inside fastball. Do you think you’ve cheated your eyes and poke the outside cheek? So, a high outside fastball? Or is it the body again?
‘There are many misconceptions. If so, why don’t you listen to me? The reason for this exercise is to see and react. If I’m going to hit it predictably like that, it’s meaningless.’
‘… Sorry.’
Yes, Rossby was right. If you’re going to make a prediction like this, it’s meaningless.
I focused again on the pitcher’s hand. The guy winds up again. I stared at the guy’s helmet.
‘Is it outside?’
The moment the ball leaves my hand, the judgment I made is the ball. Phut! A cheerful sound came from the catcher’s mitt.
“…….”
The referee’s silence lingers around the home plate. And soon the referee’s voice is heard.
“Cheek.”
“Yes? Is this a ball?”
“It’s a ball. Why are you so soggy?”
Phew, luckily I got one. But seeing the catcher react like that, I was also a little curious.
‘Mr. Rossby, was it a real ball?’
‘Well, it looked like a strike to me. What kind of judgment did that bastard make?’
The position of Rossby and the position of the referee were different, so the judgment could have been different. If it had been a strike, Rossby would have been cursing at me for not being able to touch a ball like that, but it seemed really vague. Well, maybe the catcher’s framing was bad. Charlotte’s catchers were mostly poorly framing.
‘It’s a slider.’
And his fourth ball flew in. Even at a glance, it seems to fall far away.
Widely!
It would have been nice to walk out, but now, when I have to watch the ball a lot, I forcibly cut the slider. The ball hit by the bat curled to the right and entered the crowd.
“Foul.”
‘Slider.’
‘What? Another slider?’
Could it be that you think I’m weak on the outside slider because I just hit the same ball? … Wouldn’t it?
But contrary to my expectations, the outer slider flew. This time inside the strike zone.
“Strike!”
No way, I watched one, but a ball like this. I laughed because it was so obvious. It was like looking at our team’s autograph. Occasionally, when I saw it from second base, such a ridiculous sign came out.
‘Slider.’
‘Could it be outside again? Isn’t it?’
‘…….’
Rossby didn’t answer. Rosby told me not to think and hit, but he couldn’t help but think. The battery, which gave the ball three times in a row, caught two strikes outside. And throw the same ball again.
A normal battery wouldn’t throw the same ball. Because that’s common sense You know the pitcher, you know the batter, you know the catcher, you know even the fans watching the game.
‘Is that why you throw it? To catch me off guard?’
I loaded my swing while glaring at the pitcher. And the thrown ball flew to a familiar course after seeing it twice.
‘I will enjoy this food!’
Fuck!
Although it had power, the launch angle of the batted ball was slightly low. Considering Sajik’s high wall, it wouldn’t be a home run. At first, I ran towards 1st base.
‘Up to second base!’
“Second base!”
Rossby and Coach shout at the same time. When I sneakily looked toward the home side, Kim Joo-yeop, who had already started because it was a two-out, arrived home, and Kim Su-ho, who was the runner on first base, was also running around third base. Even after stepping on second base like that, it took a few seconds for the ball to arrive at second base. A double hitting the center wall. It wasn’t a bad result.
– Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho!
And the fans chanting my name for making a 10-point difference. I waved my hand as if reciprocating to those fans.
And the cheering song of all the clubs that make up for the resignation, ‘Apartment.’
-Ahhhhh! Wow!
It was a pretty good start for a first day of special training.
*
-[KBA] AT Thunders win by 7 points! 13:6 Victory!
…… AT took the lead with a 10-point lead in the 6th inning, and in the remaining 4 innings, the Charlotte Blue Mariners followed 6 points and burned the chase, but could not overturn the win or loss. …… (Syncopation)…….
ㄴ No matter how the fuck you get robbed, are you going to get robbed by AT?
ㄴㅋㅋ I’ve been up for too long, you guys, come down toohaha
No, AT and Charlotte should be at the bottomhaha
Seeing this article, I feel that spring is coming to an end.
-It’s like a fuck since Tuesday
Nope
-AT bastards are suddenly flying around. Is it because you changed the director?
ㄴWe also have to send Dol Jong-suk out ㅅㅅ
No matter what, it will fall again. Oh, is there no time to fall?
-Still, we won the game on Tuesday. I hope you do well in Gyeonggi-do tomorrow.
ㄴ Certainly, it seems that Lee Soo-hyun is leading the team well because he came up from the 2nd division.
-[KBA] AT Thunders 3:2, Shinseung! Reap the winning series!
…… The decisive blow came in the top of the ninth. The AT Thunders, who had a chance to get 2 out and 1st and 2nd base with a hit by Jung-Jin Baek and a walk by Maeng-Ho Ji, who came in for 9th hitter Kim Joo-Yeop, reversed the score, which was trailing by 2 points, with a single hit by the 3rd batter….
– What the fuck, 2 consecutive losses to AT?
Those bastards have also defeated UG.
ㄴㅅㅅ When the cycle suddenly explodes, stick with us
-The game performance is far from good.
A nuclear war broke out yesterday.
ㄴIt seems like they had a batting match because they were pitchers I heard about today
-Kim Chan-young, who is that guy? Suddenly, 6 innings and 2 runs?
Who the fuck is this Lee Jun-pil?
ㄴㄴOur promising managerhahaTired of 7 scoreless innings?
It’s boringhaha
-You can’t sweep, colot bastards! Please.
Have those f-kids ever swept this season?
No no no
No, then I’ll give it to you
