Chapter 247 – Chapter 245. Achieve 50-50!

In the top of the 6th inning, my time at bat came. Certainly Chae Jae-hyeon seems to be Chae Jae-hyun, but even after being hit in the top of the 4th inning, his mentality was not broken and he threw a good ball and eventually kept the mound until my next turn at bat.

“Maengho, let’s get that bastard down this time.”

“Please leave it to me.”

Besides, this time at bat, it was not a situation where he could skip me because he was the lead batter. Because skipping me when there was no runner on second base was the same as giving up a triple. If I give up a triple, my OPS is 4.000, while my current OPS is 1.483. Even just looking at it, it’s an amazing record, but it wasn’t an OPS that would allow for a triple, so it was only natural that he didn’t miss it.

Volcano’s dugout didn’t seem to think of rejecting me either, perhaps because of that thought. I liked this situation if I was aiming for a home run as usual, but it was a little disappointing because I was aiming for a stolen base.

“Strike!”

Chae Jae-hyeon inserts a circle changeup that spans the outer line of the first pitch.

‘Even though it’s your third at-bat, you keep throwing a changeup like this, right? Have you lost your mind?’

I didn’t touch this changeup thinking it was going outside, but if it came in a little more, I would have swung the bat without delay. And the result must have been a home run, just like the first at-bat. At this point, I wondered what the volcano’s battery was thinking.

“Senior. Why do you keep throwing a changeup? Do I look like a dick?”

“Having a habit of talking to seniors. Why don’t you hit it if you twist it? You didn’t even hit the ball this time.”

A volcanic catcher that reacts instantly when you lightly scratch it. I liked this when I played against Volcano. The catchers of the top teams didn’t react to my words, but the catchers of the lower ranks tended to respond when I scratched them like this.

‘Well, since the information is so slow, it must be stuck at the bottom. Well, I like it Shall we scrape some more? Let’s start with the referee.’

“Oh, I was lucky enough to get a strike across the line. To be honest, it wasn’t strange even if it was a ball, right? Right? Sam.”

I looked at the referee and asked.

“Hmm, hmm. Just focus on the game.”

Damn, you look worried. Seeing that the referee was also embarrassed, it seems that it was not strange even if the ball was declared. After listening to the referee, I spoke to the catcher in a triumphant tone.

“The next time we get into the strike zone, we study. Please know that.”

“… Bluff.”

“Senior, don’t you look at the records? You know it’s not a bluff, right?”

“…”

I was scared Doesn’t it feel burdensome to throw it toward the body? Yes? No matter how good his deception is, he’s still a lefty pitcher. Do you really have a kang to throw yourself at me here?

‘It’s a fastball.’

It seemed that there was no way to throw two changeups in a row. All that remains is the location of the location. I focused on Chae Jae-hyun’s arm as much as possible. No matter how much I do, Chae Jae-hyeon’s deception was tough, so if I didn’t pay attention, I could miss the ball.

‘Where are you going to throw it?’

And Chae Jae-hyeon’s ball being thrown. My body reacted to the exquisitely piercing ball into the inside strike zone.

Ta-evil!

And a tingling sensation in your hand. I watched the ball fly like a bullet.

‘Is it a home run?’

The ball, which flew off the foul line, went near the pole and bent further to the left. The result was a foul home run. It seems that the timing was a bit fast.

‘Still, there’s a reason why I’m throwing well these days. Seeing that it’s plugged right into my body.’

‘Tsk tsk, it would have been a cheek if you hadn’t touched it.’

‘Ah, but it was delicious. You can’t skip a ball like this. Tarzande.’

They say there are two stolen bases left to reach 50 bases, but if you still don’t hit a ball that looks good like this, you’re disqualified as a hitter.

‘Your mind has become quite like another.’

Even when Rossby grumbled, he seemed to be content with my touching the ball. Because his expression was quite happy.

“I shout loudly, but Ji Maeng-ho is nothing.”

“Seniors. You don’t have to advertise because it’s so scary. If you say it out loud, it shows that you are timid.”

“… Two strikes, what kind of confidence do you have?”

‘What kind of confidence.’

I sneakily inspected the volcano’s defensive position. After hitting a hit with a bunt the other day, infielders often defended normally, but when I was cornered by two strikes, it seemed that the defensive position was pushed back again. And for this situation, there was my secret weapon prepared by training with Rossby.

“To me, the kids who hit home runs in two strikes are one lap of the playground. If you’re confident, try putting it on your body again.”

‘Fastball.’

‘Okay. If it’s two strikes and it’s to the side, it’s a ball without looking.’

“Cheek.”

And, of course, the ball became a ball. This time, it was a ball that missed about one and a half balls in the strike zone, but I was able to skip that ball because I had no intention of swinging it in the first place.

‘Slider.’

‘Slider here? The ball was never thrown at me today… I guess that means we’re going to have a match?’

I did need to be careful. The sliders he threw throughout today’s game. Three in total. There was an ambiguous sense of timing. That’s why I decided to use the secret weapon I had prepared. Moreover, using that method, it didn’t matter whether he intended to throw inside the zone to win or to throw outside to induce a miss. Unless it’s an absurdly deviated ball. And Chae Jae-hyun was not a player who would lose his ball count by throwing an absurd ball in this situation.

‘Come!’

The ball left his hand, and I laid the bat down. And I moved the bat according to the slider trajectory of the guy who was about 130km/h in the middle and late.

Tick.

The moment the ball hit, he pushed the bat strongly toward third base and shortstop. After throwing the bat, he immediately started running to first base.

‘You couldn’t have imagined that I would do it in Two Strikes, right?’

If he bunted on a two-strike and went off the line, he was immediately out, so it was clear that a normal hitter would not be able to even try. In order to live on first base after bunting in a two-strike situation, I had to try bunts that hit the line with precision, but that was too difficult.

But I was different. I didn’t have to bunt so elaborately because the infielders were back anyway and I was confident enough to live in that defensive position. Plus, I had confidence because I had trained with Rossby a few times in my imagination.

“Safe!”

And the result of my efforts came back as tax revenue. Hwasan’s third baseman caught the ball, but he couldn’t even think to throw it and had a dazed expression on his face.

– Woo-woo-woo!
– Ji Maeng-ho, go away!

And the booing of the volcano fans began to be heard. But what to do with booing? I’ve already been on base.

Some would say bunting is embarrassing, but I thought otherwise. After all, baseball is a game about getting on base. A free on-base is right in front of you, but you’re an idiot not doing it. Of course, I don’t intend to use it often because just hitting a bunt can reduce the feeling of hitting and miss the opportunity to hit long shots, but I was willing to bend my pride and bunt at any time in a situation linked to a record like this.

“To bunt there. I couldn’t have imagined.”

“Why? I’m surprised?”

“Of course, I thought you would make fun of a home run.”

First baseman Choi Si-woo also spoke to me as if he was quite surprised. After breaking Wonhyung Lee’s leg, a guy he hadn’t spoken to before while playing against Hwasan started talking to him, so I could roughly guess how surprised he was.

‘Would you like me to match the rhythm?’

Breaking the opponent’s mental state with words isn’t very powerful, but it was pretty good at making the performance worse, so I accepted Choi Si-woo’s words more.

“Do you know why you bunt?”

“Huh?”

“That’s 48 stolen bases. I want to do two more this time.”

“… Crazy guy Are you saying that?”

“If you can stop it, stop it.”

I had the confidence that I could steal second base. In general, there is an image that left-handed combat is strong against checks, but Chae Jae-hyun was different. His pitching form had the advantage of twisting his body to the level of showing his back to the hitter and having good deception, but it was a form that was difficult to check. At this level, he could steal a base even at the timing of a fastball if he got the timing right.

‘But the pitcher who took the timing off with a changeup only throws a fastball? It’s nonsense.’
I widened my lead, full of confidence.

“Safe!”

“Safe!”

“Safe!”

Possibly thanks to Choi Si-woo’s signature on my story, checks flew in succession, but the checks didn’t work because I had no intention of running after hearing his grip.

“Cheek.”

“Strike!”

Two fastballs. Should I throw a breaking ball now?

“Safe!”

“Safe!”

And after two checks, the ball I was waiting for came.

‘It’s a changeup.’

‘Okay. I jump right in.’

As soon as I got into his pitching motion, I took a step,

“Safe!”

The result was, of course, safe. It’s safe enough that you don’t even have to slide.

“Senior circular. High? Now you don’t block second base? Good idea. If you get hurt again, it’s your loss. Right?”

“…”

And as soon as I arrived at second base, I greeted Lee Won-hyeong like an annual event. Ever since Lee Won-hyung returned, he said hello every time we met, but it was so nice to see him turning his head without answering anything, so I couldn’t stop talking to him.

‘Because you’re such a trash guy too.’

‘It’s all thanks to Mr. Rossby.’

‘Okay, are you going to play third base as well?’

‘Yes. I have one left and I have to run right away.’

After talking with Rossby, I widened my lead again.

“Safe!”

“Safe!”

And the check flying again. I lightly went back and avoided all of the guy’s checks. It wasn’t common to throw a check ball when I was at second base, but seeing as I threw the ball up to second base, it seemed that he was quite conscious of me.

And I lightly shook off the guy’s check and ran to third base, and the catcher hurriedly threw, but I had already reached third base.

-Wow!!!!

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

– Super Sonic! Ji Maeng-ho! Theft! Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Theft!

AT fans gathered at third base also congratulated me on my record achievement by singing a cheering song for the first time in my life.

‘Sweet. If I had known this would happen, would I have done it at home?’

I stole the base with the thought of turning the insides of Hwasan fans upside down, but I thought that if I had known that an event like this was prepared, I would have achieved it in Jamsil. I would have felt better if I had heard this sing-along in front of a full crowd. It was a bit regrettable.

“50-50. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

Even Hwasan’s third baseman congratulates me on achieving my record. After that incident, I wasn’t very close with the volcano players, but seeing them congratulate me like this made me realize what kind of record I had achieved.

50 home runs, 50 stolen bases. Also known as the 50-50 club. A record that no baseball player on the planet has ever achieved in a professional league. Even in the KBA league, which is of a lower level than the major leagues, I ended up making a great record with my own hands so that no one could disparage this record.

‘Hehe, you pretended to be calm before running, but now you seem to be shaking a bit. How are you feeling? This is baseball When I first achieved 40%, I felt just like you.’

And the acknowledgment from Rossby that he hadn’t received in a long time. My heart started beating on its own.

‘I see. I thought you were bold I feel overwhelmed when I achieve something.’

I knew I could do it, but after I really achieved it, I couldn’t contain my excitement.

‘Did. I did it!’

“Fuck! This is it!”

I immediately reached out my fist at the fans. And cheers poured in again. The cheers again make the heart beat out of sync. Great pleasure that comes later. Before I knew it, my cock was already erect. I quickly repositioned my cock to make it less visible,

‘Ugh, that’s a bit cheap.’

I could feel the pre-cum leaking a little, but that didn’t matter right now. Because I was the one who set the first world record! I, no one else, became the owner of that great record. Fuck!

‘Fuck! This is sex!’

Until the game resumed, I fully enjoyed the afterglow, and my alter ego did not calm down until Choi Jin-cheol’s outfield fly came home.
