Chapter 251 – Chapter 249. 400 Hitter Ji Maeng-Ho. (3)
“… Minjunie throws well.”
In the beginning of the 5th inning, when Minjun Kim was on the verge of achieving his 4th triple-trial, a senior muttered. And I agreed with that sentiment.
‘Ah, it shouldn’t be like this.’
When my at-bat comes back in the 6th inning, it’s the third at-bat. If I go on like this, the number of at-bats is 4 times, and even if the team members give their strength, it will be 5 times. Getting six at-bats is virtually impossible. It was not rewarding to be the first hitter.
‘This wasn’t in my plan, but he throws rather well.’
Chae Jae-hyeon, who threw yesterday, also threw well, and it definitely felt like the pitchers of Hwasan came up.
“It didn’t feel like this when we met in August…”
In the previous game against Hwasan, I was able to sweep lightly because I was against two mercenaries and the 5th starter, but it was also difficult because there was a one-two punch. … Other players besides me.
“Is Kim Min-jun really that hard? It’s just two pitches.”
“Hey, that’s what you’re saying. How do you hit that baby slider?”
Choi Jin-cheol overheard my self-talk and responded to my words. Choi Jin-cheol’s performance today was 2 strikeouts in 2 at-bats. It was completely dried up by Kim Min-joon’s Lee Ji-sunda.
“It just looks right.”
“I envy your youth, I envy you. When I was young, I just skipped over it.”
Choi Jin-cheol’s sigh echoed loudly in the dugout. He didn’t like the way he looked today.
“Eh? Jincheol hyung, didn’t you fuck with grades when you were young?”
“Ugh, why did you fuck your brother? Everyone is colored by Ji Maeng-ho, so the club has no discipline. Discipline. Originally AT didn’t do this. Yunchul hyung, since when did AT become like this?”
“Well, that’s true, but it’s true that you screwed your dick.”
“Ah, why is my brother like that?”
When Choi Jin-cheol first came to the club from Mirae Buffaloes, it seemed difficult because he was from a future with strong military discipline, but other seniors seem to be comfortable with Choi Jin-cheol now.
‘Well, that’s it, fake news needs to be fixed.’
“Senior, no matter how much I do, I won’t say that I fucked my seniors.”
I corrected Choi Jin-cheol’s statement that the club lacked discipline because of me. There is no one in this club with a clearer hierarchy than me.
“What is it, you never said that to me? Where are you going to get dirty?”
“Ah, I don’t think that people who can’t do it are seniors.”
“Haha, then Maengho thought 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 of us…”
“With 4 people, Jin-cheol is the older brother, and Kwan-hyung is the senior. Sangju-hyung, Suho-hyung? Is that the end?”
“Hey! Then you didn’t think of me as a senior until now… ?!”
Damn, did I tell the truth too much? I’ll add one or two more. Except for Choi Jin-cheol, the other seniors who were nearby started approaching me.
Right!
Right before the seniors bothered, Han Young-jin, who started as the 8th batter today, launched the ball high. The result was an infield flyout. As expected, Kim Min-joon created the fourth tripartite inning.
“Now. Let’s focus on defense. Even if you can’t be treated as a senior by Maengho, shouldn’t you be treated as a junior? Did you see what this bastard Junhoo did? If you get caught under him, you’ll get really fucked.”
“Ah, how good I am to Junhoo.”
We sometimes go to clubs together, and that’s good enough. Cancer, yes.
The bottom of the 5th inning started with Choi Jin-cheol’s words, and for some reason, the outfielders showed a super catch and blocked Hwasan’s attack in the bottom of the 5th with a three-way attack.
“We’re winning 2-0, but you know the game isn’t over yet, right? Now that it’s the 6th episode, let’s go with a new mindset.”
“Yes!”
“Invincibility!”
“AT!”
In the top of the 6th inning, which started with a quick fight during the cleaning time, my at-bat came back in a one-out situation.
“Did I hit the slider the previous time at bat?”
As soon as he entered the plate, he muttered something to himself so that the catcher could hear him. Of course, I didn’t forget the ball I hit the home run in the previous at-bat. I just wanted to see the catcher’s reaction.
“…”
It’s nice to be quiet. In the first at-bat, he walked away from me.
‘It’s a fastball.’
‘Did I change it by talking to you?’
I waited for Minjun Kim’s first pitch and his fastball hit the outside corner. A ball that is unclear whether it is a ball or a strike. It was obvious that no good ball would come out even if I hit it, so I skipped the first ball and waited for the referee’s decision.
“… Cheek.”
‘It must have been ambiguous. Judging from how long it takes.’
‘It’s a fastball again.’
‘Okay,’
The guy’s ball pierced the outside again, and when it came inside the zone, he tried to blow it away, but this time it deviated greatly to the outside.
“Cheek.”
Twice in a row…
“I don’t think you can escape just because you hit a home run.”
“…”
The volcano’s catcher was still silent. And Kim Min-joon’s third ball flew in.
Right!
My bat hit the guy’s ball, but the batted ball didn’t come into the ground through the vague outside.
‘One strike, two balls. It’s betting time. Shall I give you a good ball?’
‘It’s a curve.’
‘Yes? A curve?’
Throwing a curve here? Although Kim Min-joon is a two-pitch pitcher, he did not throw a curveball at all. In terms of pitch usage rate, it is about 5-6%? The curve of a guy who flies a lot when 3-4 per game.
He never threw that curveball today, so it looks like he saved it for now.
‘Yesterday they gave me a changeup, but today it’s a curveball. He sets the perfect table for me?’
He would have thought he would be able to get a strike if he had never shown his curve before, but since he knew the type of pitch in the first place, there was no way he could be fooled. If you’re expecting it, the curve is just a slow shitball.
The ball left his hand, and I followed the curve with my eyes. And…
Ta-yeah!
It hit the top of the bat a bit, but it tasted good. The direction of the batting ball is to the right. The ball with power flew far away. However, it was unclear whether it was a home run, so he threw the bat and started running toward first base. I could see the right fielder chasing the batted ball.
‘Does it pass?’
‘I’m not sure.’
A batted ball that even Rossby can’t be sure of. The right fielder jumped and extended his glove toward the ball.
-Wow!
– Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho! Ji Maeng-ho!
And a shout resembling Jamsil burst out. Just hearing the shouts made it feel like our home stadium. Receiving the cheers, I slowly turned around the base.
‘Wow, but that was a bit risky. Is it because the curve has been around for a long time? How did I pass it?’
‘To pass this up. The more I look at your power, the more absurd it becomes. Also an orangutan…’
I let Rosby’s words, as if they were insults or compliments, go through one ear and stepped on the base. The next hitter, Kim Su-ho, was waiting at the home plate holding my bat.
“The home run was good.”
“Of course you have to hit it. Dare you throw a curveball?”
“This is the first curven that came out today, and you managed to get the timing right. By the way, if you go to the dugout, change your bat.”
“Yes? Why?”
“The bat is broken.”
After listening to Kim Suho’s words, I looked at my bat and saw that it was slightly cracked.
“Wow, if the timing was just a little bit off, it would have been fucked up.”
Is it because the bat broke like that? In the remaining at-bats, he could not add any more hits and ended with one walk and one stolen base. His record was 4 at-bats, 2 hits and 2 home runs. I was able to finish the game with a pretty good record from day one.
*
-AT Thunders, 2 consecutive victories against Volcano! Ji Maeng-ho went 4 at bats with 2 hits and 2 home runs!
… AT won 4:2 and confirmed the winning series. … Meanwhile, Ji Maeng-ho recorded 2 hits and 2 homers in 4 at-bats, almost confirming a batting average of 40%…
ㄴAssuming 16 at-bats in the remaining 4 games, you only need two more hits. Actually it’s over
ㄴI see a 40% hitter in my life…
ㅇㅇㅅㅇ
ㄴ Wow, if I didn’t go to the Asian Games, the record would have been ruined haha Can’t I just set a record without going to the Asian Games?
No
-Volcanic Falcons, sprinkle red pepper powder on AT! 11:3 big win!
… As starter Kim Chan-young collapsed, the AT Thunders were hit by the Volcano Falcons. … 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 you set a new home run record? The obstacle is Jamsil Stadium?
… Ji Maeng-ho, who was interviewed saying he would aim for the 61 home run, hit 56 home runs while hitting four home runs in the match against Hwasan. Joo Hyung-jin’s record of five home runs remains. But the schedule didn’t make me smile. The AT Thunders will face off against the UG Overlords this weekend in Jamsil. Whether he will be able to break through the walls of Jamsil and hit 6 homers to record a new record is attracting attention from all over the country.
Don’t bother the reporter.
3 games, 5 home runs? Actually seems hard
-Can Ji Maeng-ho do 60-60? 5 home runs in 3 games is honestly impossible and I think I can hit 4, but is 4 home runs and 7 stolen bases possible?
It’s almost impossible.
ㄴI should have been driven out of the Volcano, but it must be difficult because it’s UG.
-Honestly, at this level, didn’t Joo Hyung-jin get over it? 56 home runs for 40%.
ㄴ I think I have to admit that this is enough haha50-50 is not even a dog’s name haha
-Wow, I saw that the baseball world was in a frenzy because of a player named Ji Maeng-ho, and he was really handsome. I guess I’ll be a fan too
It’s famous these days haha
What about the husband…
Is the husband important? Just looking at Ji Maeng-ho’s face makes me feel good haha
-Ha… I think it’s possible to hit 60 homeruns, but the opponent is tough.. Are you sure you’re UG…
ㄴㄹㅇ If I had played against Charlotte, JT, or Mirae, I would have just pierced it haha
ㄴBut the match seems to be winning these days, UG is our fucking house haha
ㄴWhy don’t you use NV?
ㄴㄴ I don’t know why, but I don’t know why, so AT is the only team with a bad record against NV among the bottom teams.
When the public’s attention was focused on Jamsil whether Maeng-Ho Ji would be able to achieve a new record, the coaches of UG Overlords were also paying attention to Maeng-Ho Ji.
“This series is the last AT battle with Maeng-Ho Ji. If you think of fall baseball, you have to test it here.”
