Chapter 202 – Episode 200. What’s Yours? (2)

“Oh, did you turn?”

“Didn’t you turn around?”

‘It’s an inside fastball. Be careful.’

There is only one case where Rosby, who didn’t tell me the location, told me the location. When a bean ball flies.

“Under… Have you ever seen such a tortilla?”

I could feel the catcher’s anger rising to his head. Even if Rossby hadn’t told him, the catcher’s tone seemed to suggest he could have expected the beanball.

“Cheek.”

Because it was the expected ball, I was able to easily dodge the ball coming towards me.

“If you throw me one more time, I won’t hold back.”

I want to kick the catcher right away because of my temper, but I had to endure the thought that the opportunity to receive this shout would be reduced if I was disciplined.

“… If I don’t hold it in, I’ll laugh out loud?”

“If you want to see it, throw it one more time.”

“Chew…”

Even while talking to the catcher, the pitcher kept shaking his head. Well, you probably don’t want to avoid a match after seeing a home run on the map.

‘Slider.’

‘Okay.’

Does the slider fall out? Or since the first ball was thrown toward the body, the ball entering the zone from the body? Whatever it was, it didn’t matter. Because I had the confidence that I could hit any ball.

– Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Oh oh oh! Thunders Ji Maeng-ho! Blow it up to the end of the sky!

‘Okay, I’ll blow it up.’

When opposing starting pitcher Cho Young-joo made a pitching motion, he took a deep breath and concentrated. The ball left his hand,

Ta-evil!

The batted ball curves wide to the left and flies away. A large batted ball flying toward the pole.

“Are you gone?”

– Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho!

I looked at the third base referee’s hand at the ambiguous batted ball, but the result was a foul.

“Ah, was it a bit fast?”

‘I got hit at the end of the bat.’

‘Cabi.’

“Whoa…”

The catcher took a deep breath as if he was taken aback.

‘It’s a fastball.’

‘There are a lot of fastballs these days. Was it also analyzed?’

‘It’s very likely.’

Since I have good grades with slow breaking balls, most of the batteries facing me these days have a fastball and a fast breaking ball. However, it was kind of funny to think that he would be weak on fastballs because he was strong on slow breaking balls.

‘Because it’s cute.’

Rather, it was easier for me to throw a ball in the mid-140s that most pitchers in the KBA league throw. Since most of the pitchers Rossby faced in the past threw balls with that much speed, the type of pitch with the most data was the fastball at 140 km/h.

Can you see it clearly now?

‘… Hmmm!’

Ta-evil!

‘It’s right this time!’

The moment I hit it, I felt it hit the center of the bat. Thinking there was nothing to see, I threw the bat as it was after the follow swing.

“Yes-write!”

– Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho!

– Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Oh oh oh! Thunders Ji Maeng-ho! Blow it up to the end of the sky!

After waving once to the fans who called out to me in a loud voice, I walked to the base. Seeing the expressions on the Charlotte infielders’ faces as they circled the bases, it seemed that they looked really good with their rotten faces.

“Nice!”

“Ji Maeng-ho! You crazy bastard! It really gets over it!”

“No way! If you don’t have confidence, you won’t even hit a home run! Hehe.”

“Really, you stupid bastard!”

3 points, it felt pretty good from the start.

*

-Wow Ji Maeng-ho is crazy haha ​ haha
ㄴㄹㅇ But it’s so fucking fun to hit a home run with a preview and a real home run.
ㄴMaeng Ho Ham C DA C

-Is that bastard crazy?
I feel bad because I got hit.
ㄴ How do UG babies put up with that?

-Aggro is at full level haha
If I had done anything wrong in my resignation, I would have followed you

“Sweetheart, what is it?”

“It’s cheap and you don’t want to eat.”

“Haengnim, are you going to leave the fortune teller?”

“Shiba’s, are you going to crash into it?”

At the end of the first inning, after the AT Thunders had finished their short inning shift, the Charlotte Blue Mariners dugout was in a frenzy because of Ji Maeng-ho’s eccentricity. Most of Charlotte’s players are rough Busan men. They were not the kind of people who would tolerate being insulted like this.

And the eyes of the rough Busan men were directed to Kang Han-bum, the team’s mental support.

“Chiara, do you know what the ugliest thing is?”

“Ham… ?”

“It’s time to get angry after being smeared with jjakpalligu. Say you have a kiln, Ham will show you.”

After saying that, Charlotte’s 4th hitter Kang Han-beom took the bat and headed to the plate. Charlotte’s players, who were deeply upset by Ji Maeng-ho’s announced home run, had no choice but to quietly watch the back of Kang Han-beom’s rough momentum felt in his body.

[In the beginning of the second inning, Kang Han-beom enters the plate.]

[Returning player Kang Han-beom, with 14 homers, ranks third after Ji Maeng-ho and Choi Jin-cheol, right? They are second with 46 RBIs. In the first season of his return, he is doing a great job.]

[Junhyung Park’s first pitch, uh, uh! To the face of Kang Kang-bum! Player Kang Han-bum, he doesn’t blink an eye.]

[It’s a battle of momentum, right? Usually hitters don’t show signs of pain even when they are hit by a ball, but this is because they express their will, ‘I’m not afraid of your ball at all’. In particular, in the major leagues, when you are hit by a ball, there is also a look down on you if you complain of pain, such as rubbing the hit area.]

[Still, it wouldn’t be easy to stare at a fast ball coming towards you like that. It is also a strong criminal.]

[You’re not a strong criminal for nothing, are you? Haha.]

[Kang Han-beom’s eyes are not unusual.]

An atmosphere that anyone who watches baseball can feel. The atmosphere that seemed like something was going to happen was felt in Kang Han-bum.

“Isn’t this unusual?”

“Ha, I guess that’s right.”

And AT fans sitting on first base felt the same atmosphere.

– Kang Han-bum! Blow it up!!

Of course, not everyone hit and hit home runs with that kind of momentum. However, the batter standing at the plate is Kang Kang-beom. He has been a hitter who has made the uneasy imagination of opposing fans a reality by standing on numerous bats so far.

Ta-evil!

[Kang Han-bum! The third ball was kicked up! This batted ball! Pursuit Solo Cannon! The season 15 home run hits here. Kang Beom’s solo gun that pours cold water on the hot AT atmosphere! Park Junhyung lowers his head!]

Kang Han-beom, who had been watching the batted ball, threw the bat indifferently. And cheers erupted from third base. The cheers of Charlotte fans, who were filled with anger at Ji Maeng-ho’s cheeky behavior, were passionate enough to match their reputation.

-Wow!

– Kang Han-bum! Strong criminal! Strong criminal!

Ji Maeng-ho, who was standing next to second base with both hands on his hips, and Kang Han-beom, who was running slowly after hitting a home run, met eyes. At Ji Maeng-ho, who had a rugged expression, Kang Han-beom smiled and said.

“No, don’t be fooled.”

Because he had spoken with the national team several times, Kang Beom knew Ji Maeng-ho. He has such a strong pride that he can be beaten by Jin-mo Goo, a personality that gets easily excited enough to say bad words to the pitcher standing on the mound when the game doesn’t go well, and his performance, which is greatly influenced by his emotions.

It was obvious that Ji Maeng-ho’s swing would grow if he scratched like this, and it was a provocation from the thought that if he had such a big swing in Jamsil, it would be easier for him to solve the game.

“… Chit. Are we winning?”

And as Kang Han-beom thought, the reaction came quickly.

“A home run is a teacher’s child?”

“Let’s see it after the game, shall we? Who wins.”

‘Because they are easy to understand.’

Seeing Maengho biting his tongue, the strong tiger smiled again and moved on. And Ji Maeng-ho looked at Kang Han-beom’s back with hot eyes.

‘Okay, let’s see who wins.’

However, unlike Ji Maeng-ho, who was burning with the desire to compete, there were also players whose hearts were pounding with tension. That was Park Joon-hyung, the pitcher who won 1 career win for Charlotte in the 7 years of his debut.

[Hitter number 5, Campbell comes to bat. He batted 2/4 2, but had a slugging percentage of 4/9 8, and was a one-shot hitter. 11 home runs. Watch out for one shot… I have to! Campbell kicked the first pitch! This ball… !]

[Oh, is it big? Is it big? Right fielder Lee In-hyeok follows.]

[Lee In-hyeok Back, back, back! There is nowhere to retreat anymore! A home run following Kang Kang-beom! Campbell’s back-to-back home run! Now the score is 3:2! Charlotte Blue Mariners chasing by one point!]

[Is this a mistake? The slider went into the middle of the strike zone. It must have been a birthplace to throw into a backdoor castle, but it was a trajectory that was clearly visible to Campbell, a left-handed hitter?]

[Campbell walks around the ground with a bright smile!]

*

“Fuck Yeah!”

“… Are these babies crazy? Keep scratching”

Did you scream while looking at me? I was dumbfounded, so I looked around and met Yoon Seong-tae’s eyes.

“What you looking at?”

“Seong-tae hyung, that bastard shouted while looking at me, right?”

“I did that shit, but it’s natural, kid.”

“… You’re on Charlotte’s side just because you’re from Busan, right?”

“… Ah?”

“… Do you think that’s right?”

“… Child.”

“Traitor Shack. Don’t talk bro I will tell all of this to Sangju senior.”

“… Concentrate on the game.”

“There was Frakzi on the team.”

There was no one to trust in the world. After all, I have to do this team. I woke up and focused on Park Jun-hyung’s pitching. Charlotte’s 6th hitter, catcher Yang Chan-woo, hit Park Jun-hyung’s fifth ball, and the ball headed toward the shortstop.

“Short!”

The batted ball bounced at the boundary between soil and grass, and the ball flew where Yun Seong-tae could not catch it. The infamous irregular bounds in Jamsil had exploded. Kim Soo-ho, who had run up to him, quickly picked up the ball, but Yang Chan-woo had already stepped on first base, so Kim couldn’t scatter the ball.

“… Ah, Shiba, Jamsil really.”

“Brother, isn’t it really?”

Damn, isn’t this bastard a real spy?

“… It was an irregular bound…”

“…”

“… I’ll show you when I attack.”

… I didn’t believe it at all.

‘As expected, I have to be on this team.’

After thinking so, all the puzzles came together. Kang Han-beom had already recognized me. That I am the only proper player on this team. Kang Han-beom, whom I know, was a heavy man, and he wasn’t someone who provoked others or anything like that. Even in the national team, it was the same as the mental support of hitters who hold the center of the team.

But such a strong criminal is trying to provoke me? It meant that Kang Han-bum also thought I was the most dangerous guy.

‘Is the big Other a law that recognizes the Big Other?’

Right!

A batted ball came rolling towards me just in time, and I immediately caught it and threw the ball to second base.

“Out!”

“First base!”

“Out!”

“Nice!”

Neat slaughter. Charlotte’s spy also seemed to notice that he made a mistake, so he handled the double play neatly. Park Joon-hyeong also handled the remaining out count neatly, probably because of my defense, and Charlotte’s attack in the top of the 2nd inning ended with 2 points.

However, perhaps because of the 2 points, Park Joon-hyung’s shoulders drooped as he descended from the mound. It’s like that boy made a few mistakes.

“Park Joon-hyung!”

After all, this body should do what encourages the pitcher.

“… Why are you calling your senior name carelessly?”

… To be strict.

“… Seniors. You said you’d make a winning pitcher, right? Just trust me I’ll do it for you.”
