- DAE HO. - DAE HO.
- LEE DAE HO! - LEE DAE HO!
You are not tired today, right? You are less tired?
- I'm tired. - What?
I'm tired.
Why.
I couldn't get to sleep.
Well, it is exciting.
You know where this is.
Sajik Baseball Stadium.
It's a bit different to other cities.
- It's the city of baseball. - That's right.
So on off-days, we are barely
even alive.
SONG SEUNG JUN, a signature, please!
SONG SEUNG JUN!
You must play today.
- Please say a word to the manager. - What?
He was going in.
You're handsome.
- Don't lie. - It's true.
You're really handsome.
You're handsome!
Really the top of "Burn to win".
Top of top.
Visual top two.
SONG SEUNG JUN, fighting.
You're handsome.
Why is everyone lying?
No, it's true. It's true.
- Hello. - Hello.
Why did someone whose house is nearby take a car?
But there is a lot of baggage,
a lot of baggage.
Where is your house? From here...
Ah, it's really close.
How many years did you play here?
14 years? 15 years?
But I didn't use here that much.
Sangdong?
Quiet!
The sound of the chants.
It's Busan.
But...
the problem is they are all holding DAE HO's uniform.
- Over here too, please. - We came from afar.
You're handsome.
You have some dignity?
It's Busan.
It's LEE DAE HO!
LEE DAE HO!
DAE HO is here.
DAE HO!
- DAE HO! - Quiet down, it's noisy.
Got to go.
You look like you are disappointed.
I can come out in a bit.
I can do it later.
I have been waiting for 15 hours.
Thank you.
A signature, please.
DAE HO, I have been waiting.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I came back here after 30 years.
This is really.
- LEE DAE HO, fighting! - Fighting.
It's Busan.
Wow.
For baseball, where do you go.
It's Busan.
Isn't it Busan, the city of baseball.
Again with the pranks, huh?
What is this, the MVP seat?
What is this?
- YONG TAIK. - Hello.
YONG TAIK's seat over there
is the one
coaches use on away games.
Isn't this where the bench coach uses?
The bench coach seat.
It's next to the bathroom?
They have to go take a dump a lot.
It's next to the bathroom.
- How do you do. - Hello.
Flame Fighters, Ulsan,
Seoul,
Incheon,
Daejeon, and then
finally have come to Busan Sajik Stadium.
The city of baseball.
As soon as the reservations started,
the highest number of people gathered.
- 263,000 people gathered. - It's different.
As expected of Busan.
Busan is different.
Hey, we are rocking it.
It's Busan.
Been waiting for it.
Rocking it.
A lot of people liked them,
so we prepared fireworks as well.
Fireworks are nice.
PD, you are spending a lot of money.
Watching them after the fireworks felt really strange.
So today, I wish we watch them after we win.
I'll do the Flame News.
Flame News.
First,
today is a big game,
but there is yet another thing that is on the line.
Huh?
- Really? - Today's MVP?
Today's MVP,
along with the MVP gold already given by the Fighters,
our main sponsor
Kakaopay Securities will give
3 million won.
Woah!
This will be given as a bonus.
Today is big, this is really big.
Eyes are sparkling.
If you get MVP today,
it's worth 4 million won.
Well, it's not really something I can relate to.
Is there a chant MVP.
Don't worry.
Kakaopay Securities,
for our loving Flintstones,
will give out 300 million won in overseas stock.
Will give out 300 million won.
Flintstones.
300 million!
The total amount is 300 million.
- I'll also apply. - I'll apply too.
Kakaopay, amazing!
Have to do one of these things
so that they like it.
I have to convey a bit of disappointing news.
What now.
NIPPERT,
until mid-October,
will not be participating.
He has some personal family issues,
so he has to stay in the US for two months.
So, we have to consider this his season over.
So, also
He can't participate here.
JAE YOUNG, why are you enjoying this so much?
Why are you laughing?
You are enjoying this a lot.
Hey, a player can't come, but why are you laughing.
Is that something to crack up about?
No, it's not that.
I am being sad now.
Please get his expression over there...
No, it's not, I am being sad now.
Your face doesn't look sad at all.
Is it your birthday today?
I'm sweating.
I'll announce the performances.
- At third, with 0.313, - All similar.
JUNG EUI YOON.
- What? - Huh?
You've dropped a lot?
- He's dropped a lot. - He's dropped a lot.
I knew it when you started being cocky.
After obtaining his option, it's all going down.
In the broadcast, I saw him spraying a lot of roses.
Cut that out now.
Now, there will be rocks thrown at you.
I've done as much as I could.
So, second is,
I thank you always,
JEONG SEONG HOON with 0.320.
- Thank you? - I thank you.
Yes.
First has been returned to
LEE DAE HO with 0.327.
- Not much of a difference, huh? - Not much of a difference.
It will keep changing day by day.
- We are neck and neck. - All similar.
So, and the people who have reached the required plate appearances.
- Eighth. - Eighth?
At 0.258,
PARK YONG TAIK.
He's come up a lot.
Finding his place.
Oh, please.
Today is Sajik, too. He's hit well at Sajik.
Sajik TAIK.
SaTAIK.
Also, since he has come up to 0.250,
we will change his uniform.
What are you saying, what...
Really?
The C must have gotten bigger.
Really?
- It seems to be a bit bigger. - Really?
- The C changes depending on the batting average? - Show us.
Yeah, this was too small, honestly.
It really got bigger.
Didn't it get too bigger?
I want his batting average to go down again.
So that he takes turns wearing them.
The C has gotten bigger because he has come up to the 0.200 range.
- Does it get bigger if I get to the 0.300 range? - Yes.
If you hit 0.300,
it gets really big.
Please make the C like this, so that it covers like this.
- So that anyone can see that you are the captain. - Got it.
- You can play today wearing that. - Yes, I'll wear it at the match.
- That's really amazing. - Really funny.
- If you hit 0.300, we will make one again with a very happy heart. - Got it.
So, we will analyze Busan High School.
Yes!
I'll start.
Established in 1947,
it boasts 78 years of baseball history
as Korea's traditional, prestigious baseball high school.
It's Busan High School.
That's right.
And with the Gold Lion Flag championship in '23,
Busan High School have conquered the 4 major tournaments,
and have achieved the ninth high school grand slam.
There is a very positive factor for us.
These are the players who are out for the youth national team.
They aren't here.
To be selected for the youth national team means that
these are students who are the best at baseball in the country.
- It's not easy for a team to have 3 players go. - Right?
- Really not easy. - Ah, these kids are good, the 3 of them, really.
First, today's
starting pitcher Kim Kang Won.
- 10th grader? - A 10th grader is pitching?
- 10th grader? - Yeah.
He's a 10th grader? Really?
- He's a 10th grader, but - He throws well.
- Him too? - Yeah.
The biggest strength of this player is
RPM.
2,400~2,600 RPM.
- That's high. - It's called vertical movement,
but you have to think his stuff is really good.
For the fielders,
Lee Suh Joon is today's number 3 batter.
Season batting average 0.316.
He is a batter who swings very aggressively.
He has 6 home runs.
Why does he have so many home runs?
- He hit 6 home runs. - The kids are good-looking.
And finally, the really last thing.
This here is Busan.
Amateur players especially,
with things like the Busan crowd's cheering,
have to be alert about that, I think.
That's all.
Alright, let's get out there right away.
You have 2 uniforms?
Why with the uniform?
Because I got over 0.250,
they made the C a bit bigger.
- There are only 2 numbers retired for Lotte? - Yeah.
That's cool, number 10.
It's so iconic.
It's been a while since you came to 1st base?
That's right, it's the first time.
JUN YOUNG, this is my seat.
Yes!
This seat looked good for me.
- This is expensive, 150,000 won. - Expensive, right?
Where are the good seats?
Ah, they made this so that the pitcher can go back and forth.
Sajik.
Gonna get the energy.
Back to Busan, the home ground of those two.
I can focus well at Sajik Baseball Stadium.
It's a bit weird.
Pitchers, let's go.
Busan seagull
Exercising here makes me feel like I am playing again.
Did you pitch in Sajik a lot when you were playing?
I don't think I pitched a lot.
It is different, Sajik.
Come quick, bring your gloves.
You have to look. Think about the bounce well, it's different here.
I mean, just fungoes alone I caught 30 thousand,
30 million here, and I have to catch them again?
You don't have to.
DAE HO doesn't have to.
Going to throw it sleekly right away.
Get in, and throw it!
Nice ball.
Nice.
Smooth.
Definitely amazing.
MOON HO!
Let's go, MOON HO.
Home ground.
Oh, come on, damn.
Isn't it your home ground?
Hey, JEONG YONG GUM,
- go to right field. - Me?
I think you are the most awkward here.
YONG TAIK must see well in Sajik Stadium.
Okay.
Sort of different, a bit different.
- Amazing. - It went over?
As expected.
YONG TAIK has a good feel in Busan.
This one's gone.
He's a current player.
If YONG TAIK came to Lotte via free agency back then,
he would have gotten another 100 hits.
I would have cracked 3,000 hits.
Good.
Let's go!
That's going far.
Alright.
Why is his punch so good.
Why is the ball going so far when he comes to Sajik?
All the balls are going over there.
How many are you sending over today.
You're all dead today.
He won't take it easy today.
He's a current player.
Doing well since we came to Busan.
Busan.
Busan High School, fighting!
- Busan High School, fighting! - Busan High School, fighting!
Well, Busan High School, as a prestigious school of baseball,
are polite unlike other teams,
and are known as a team that has honest contests.
- Greeting. How do you do! - How do you do!
How do you do!
Looking more in shape, you guys.
You guys can just say hello, it's scary if you greet us all at once.
- How do you do. - How do you do.
- Hello, hello.
Hey, you guys stop saying hello and go rest somewhere else.
How many times are they saying hello?
They are doing it for each person.
- KEUN WOO and EUI YOON are from there? - Yes.
Go say hi to the kids.
- Me? - Of course, you should do it, you are their alumni.
What did I do.
He's here, it's the great alumni.
We have to do the greeting.
- Greeting. How do you do! - How do you do!
To position.
Yes, hello.
Loftily.
Let's our best, alright?
- Yes! - Yes!
Have you had a lot of spectators here?
We have not.
Aren't you going to piss your pants today?
- You aren't, right? - No.
- Have fun and play well. - Yes.
Fighting.
- Greeting. How do you do! - How do you do!
EUI YOON.
Hello?
You aren't saying hello?
- Greeting. How do you do! - How do you do!
They aren't doing it.
Hey, why are you discriminating me with KEUN WOO.
These kids, damn.
You jerk... It's because he didn't win any championships when he went to school.
I did win.
People who won championships don't do that.
Loftily
- Greeting. How do you do! - How do you do!
They greeted everyone except one up to now, EUI YOON.
I think the greeting was louder than EUI YOON's?
- How do you do! - How do you do!
Isn't that just winding him up at this point?
Get ready quickly and come.
- Yes! - Yes!
- Fighting, let's go! - Ay!
Let's go!
Hit it with a bit of rhythm.
It's too stiff right now.
Yes!
What's the point of shaving your head all the time.
Our Busan High School normally has
a high amount of practice, so I believe that they will do well.
We have done a lot of training in the basics,
so we have the confidence to win against any team.
Okay, Busan High!
The seniors have come down a long way from Seoul,
so we will send you back quickly.
Hey, looking good?
That's gone.
He hits lightly but hits well.
- He'll tear it up today. - I know, right.
I will hit a home run today.
Going to do an interview?
No, the interview
is just a ground interview here.
- What... what should I say? - Nothing much.
Manager.
There are a lot of Busan High alumni in our Fighters as well.
Also, I did a calculation.
Our team members who are from Busan
make up almost half the team.
Why do you think such good players come from Busan?
Since you are also from Busan High.
When I was young, well...
We were close to Japan,
so at each household, back when there were not many apartments,
you could get a lot of Japanese broadcasts if you set the antenna well.
Yes.
So there were a lot of opportunities to encounter professional Japanese baseball,
which I think led to
a comparatively larger population playing baseball.
That's what it was.
Because the reception of Japanese terrestrial broadcasting was possible,
that brought on the baseball fever in Busan,
- which led to a lot of good baseball players? - That's right.
Manager, you have to pick just 1 person.
From the "Burn to win" players,
the 1 player that you like the most.
- I like JEONG KEUN WOO the most, and - Yes.
Why, what's the reason?
- Because he is from Busan High. - That's right.
Then, the 1 player that you don't like to see.
- YOO HEE KWAN. - YOO HEE KWAN? Why HEE KWAN?
Why HEE KWAN?
Well... even with pitching at a speed in the 120km/h range,
he plays with batters
and in the opponent's viewpoint, he is annoying.
Manager, but there are 3 youth national team members out,
so how is your roster strength?
Our 10th graders are so good,
so I think they can replace them comfortably.
- You will deal with it with 10th grade players, not even the 11th graders? - Yes.
Recently, HEE KWAN
has been trying to throw better
by changing gloves again.
So, with an item attached,
he may get on the mound today,
so I am curious if the 10th grade players can cope with that.
- I think it's the right speed for the 10th grade players to hit. - With the speed?
So, if HEE KWAN come up, it will work better with the 10th graders?
Even if HEE KWAN with an item comes up,
- it feels like they will hit a bit comfortably? - I think so.
Yes, we get it.
- We will spin it well that way. - Got it. Today,
- we look forward to a good match. - Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Good luck, manager. - Yes.
My exercise was good.
- It was good. - The exercise was good.
I sweated too much.
- It's so tiring today. - Thank you for your efforts.
Too tiring.
Why?
Why don't I smell sweat today?
It really smelled a lot of sweat when you come in here.
- Coming into the locker room. - It did, we used to.
The outfield has a different activity level.
It's different with dry pitchers.
But it's really refreshing today, why?
- You know why? Should I tell you? - Why?
Ta-da.
The secret is this.
- BAS, BAS. - What's that?
Isn't this the BAS Pink Deodorizer
that was all the rage on social media?
Of course.
- I know this. - Really?
What's for men? It's pink, isn't it.
You are really good at baseball and at self care.
Of course, I'm good at everything.
KYO WON, look at this.
- It's not an air freshener, but a deodorizer.
The smell is really good.
So it's not covering the odor with scent.
Sweat odor, diaper odor, bathroom odor,
all the bad odors it fundamentally removes.
- Totally? - Totally, all of it.
Then this
will be good during winter when it's hard to ventilate.
This is BAS's unique special solid texture, look.
It doesn't fall off even if you shake.
It doesn't pour out.
Then it's good for cars too.
It'll be so good to put in Minjeong's car.
You don't have a car?
- It's Minjeong's car. - You don't have a car?
- I don't have a car. - It's all Minjeong's, huh.
I also moved recently?
This will be good for Sick Building Syndrome too.
- I should carry this in my pocket. - I put it in my bag.
- Let's all be refreshed, BAS. - Let's all be refreshed, BAS.
- BAS. - BAS.
- Let's go put it in the bathroom. - Let's go put it in the bathroom.
Ugh, I ate too much.
I think I will never lose weight.
But watching you eat, you are almost not thinking of throwing at all.
I want to eat milmyeon.
Should we order?
Sounds good.
- Hey, now... now from the milmyeon, almost - Looking at you eat, almost...
You were almost at a first birthday party?
Almost at a first birthday party buffet level.
I want to have no appetite.
I eat too much, really.
The lineup is out.
Before the lineup announcement,
I have to tell you something.
Today, the manager had a sudden stomachache.
In my view, for today's match now,
the manager won't be able to do it.
There are a lot of veterans, so I hope we prepare well as it is a big match.
I saw the lineup.
It's okay.
YONG TAIK will be in the number 3 spot.
It's the must-win order.
So, I'll announce the order.
Number 1, JEONG KEUN WOO.
- Number 1, JEONG KEUN WOO. - Yes.
- Number 2, CHOI SOO HYUN. - Yes.
Number 3, DH.
- PARK YONG TAIK. - Yes.
Number 4.
- LEE DAE HO. - Yes.
- Number 5, JUNG EUI YOON. - Oh, yeah.
This is a sudden number 5?
- Number 6, JEONG SEONG HOON. - Yes?
Yes?
I like number 7.
Number 7, LEE TAEK KEUN.
You went down after just one match?
I did well last match.
That's not it, it's because TAEK KEUN's
performance is the best at number 7.
I really match better
with number 7 than TAEK KEUN.
Amazing.
I really match better
with number 7 than TAEK KEUN.
- He made the lineup. - Amazing.
He put it in himself.
He was giving presents before.
Not at all.
Number 8, JAE WOOK.
Yes.
- Number 9, JAE HO. - Yes.
Starting pitcher.
Why is he like that?
Are you praying right now?
- He heard. - No.
SONG SEUNG JUN.
Is it real? That... that phrase?
You said you had a dream starting.
He ate an extra large portion of milmyeon today.
He ate around 20 chungmu gimbap.
He is too full right now.
He ate till his stomach was about to burst.
I thought you were kidding, but is it real?
This is a catastrophe...
But your stomach is protruding too much.
- I am in big trouble right now. - No, but he said he's in good shape today.
What do I do, seriously?
Today, the pitchers
can be replaced quickly,
- so you all have to prepare fully. - You don't like the starter?
He ate milmyeon with me, but
it's okay if he ate just that.
He also ate the chungmu gimbap.
- He has an option. - Huh?
5 innings...
- Hey, mind your own options. - Why are you doing that, stay put.
Why are you minding his option.
Just that he had 5 innings...
I think you should stay put.
The starting pitcher, then the captain and we will wrap up.
- We are making this picture, huh? - This picture is rare.
Rare.
My stomach is poking out too much.
I don't know, it's my first start in a while.
I haven't prepared what to say.
Just...
Fielders, please help me out a lot.
I don't know how long I will pitch but I will do my best.
Thank you.
Heavy.
Still more reliable than SHIN JAE YOUNG.
My stomach is in trouble, I ate too much.
There's a lot of milmyeon in there.
We got a problem.
Isn't he going to throw up the milmyeon while pitching?
So, when we lose, it's more because we get wound up rather than the opponent doing well,
so we have to be always alert in days like this.
Also, the manager isn't here, so be alert again.
It's SEUNG JUN's start, so be more alert.
Anyway, stay alert today
and let's have a clean game, okay.
- Flame. - Fighters!
The rhyme is good.
- Fighting. - Fighting, fighting.
What do I do.
- Today, YONG TAIK called us to tell us something. - Eh?
Does he have something to give us?
He must be feeling good because he hit a home run last week.
Why do you appear in front of my eyes
- PARK YONG TAIK - Hey, the song has to come out for me to come out.
Quickly, hey, JAE HO, are you not putting in the effort?
Oh my.
I came to tell you something good.
You know I am good at care, right?
- That's right, Care TAIK. - Yeah, Care TAIK.
There should be no other meaning.
Hey, but where is this smell coming from?
Take it off.
These shoes, I brought spikes here?
Oh, damn it.
You are not caring for your shoes just because you wipe the exterior.
- The shoes are wet. - Yes.
You have to dry the shoes well.
But you do high speed drying.
- Really? - High speed drying.
You know what you do that with?
You should have heard of it?
BreezeCare?
You know BreezeCare, right?
What do you even know? BreezeCare.
You have seen this, right?
- This is BreezeCare? - You have seen this, right?
Now, it gets germs and especially things like feet odor.
It gets them all.
I mean, if it can do sterilization, deodorizing, and drying all at once,
it's just all-in-one, that's good.
If you use this once, you just have to use it.
This design is really pretty.
I'd like to put one in my house.
But look, it's kind of different.
What's different?
- Huh? - What's different?
- It's the Fighters. - Yeah.
Fighters, this is a new product that came out.
- Is this a collaboration. - Yeah.
Just 500 units.
- Only 500 units have been released. - Really?
It's a rare item.
It's not because I am an ambassador or anything.
Huh? You are an ambassador?
They usually get people like me for hot items like this.
Okay, JAE HO, be dry at bat,
and you get dry on the mound.
I will pitch dry, not allowing home runs.
Cleanly.
Let's go.
- Dryly today, okay. - Fighting.
Do Flame Care.
- Flame. - Care.
Okay, good. BreezeCare.
- BreezeCare. - Care.
Good.
- The end. - Thank you.
I got LEE DAE HO and SONG SEUNG JUN.
I got LEE DAE HO.
That they are playing a match in Busan, where we live,
it makes us so happy.
We live in Busan.
It's good that it's close.
We came because the baseball stadium is in front of our house.
I think people don't have anything to say about Busan besides baseball.
Baseball is everyday life.
Boils from the blood.
It's the city where everyone is into baseball.
I like LEE DAE HO the most.
If you live in Busan, it's got to be LEE DAE HO.
- LEE DAE HO. - LEE DAE HO.
- I was happy because I thought I could see LEE DAE HO's match again.
LEE DAE HO...
I wish you would come back to Sajik.
- "Burn to win". - Fighting!
What looks like it has better energy?
Is orange better today?
Giants color.
Is orange better then? What looks good?
Huh?
Oh damn...
It's 1:1 again.
SHIN JAE YOUNG, what looks good?
- Me? - Yeah.
I like ones with color, so
2:1, what about you?
I picked that one too.
This? What about you?
I picked the first...
- Okay, first at-bat, I will go with this. - Good.
No, but the feeling is not good.
You have to talk to me a lot, I'm getting nervous.
Seriously.
Looks like he's throwing because he is back in his hometown.
I was coach when SONG SEUNG JUN was throwing three complete games in a row.
Really?
SEUNG JUN was good at baseball,
but he was really polite with his seniors.
He didn't show off that he was good at baseball.
My stomach won't digest. I feel like I am dying.
On this side are 20 chungmu gimbaps, on this side is a bowl of milmyeon.
I can't breathe right now.
Did you eat a lot yesterday too?
I ate a lot of gopchang.
Yang family's tripe and gopchang.
Let's go gopchang fastball.
Chungmu gimbap curve.
Milmyeon splitter.
LIM SANG WOO!
- LIM SANG WOO, slate. - Yes.
- Woah. - SANG WOO slate.
But I did do it once back then.
- You've done it? - Yes.
- You know this, right? - I did it last year.
Say I will hit the slate, and then go one, two, three.
I feel like my voice will crack.
I hope your voice cracks again.
Going, I will hit the slate.
I will hit the slate!
All "Burn to win" cameras, we will hit the slate.
Go.
What, it's LIM Star?
That it is.
So, the slate fairy of today's match is LIM SANG WOO.
The slate fairy suddenly changed.
Today was a day that couldn't be avoided,
could this be the prelude to signal victory.
I'll hit the slate!
One, two, three!
His face is red again.
Thank you.
You're good?
You should do it always now.
- You're so good. - You heard? Could you hear it well?
I'll hit the slate!
That's a relief, I thought my voice couldn't be heard.
- It wasn't too hard to hear, right? - I could hear it well.
That's cool.
Retired number.
I've got goosebumps.
9 out of 10 came to see DAE HO.
This guy's looking at everything.
- I wasn't looking. - This guy's looking at everything.
This guy's looking at everything.
Why isn't there one for you.
You crazy bastard.
That number can only be worn by Ye Seung.
That would be really cool.
You know what Lotte fans say?
They say let's meet at the number 10, number 11 exit.
Because number 10 and number 11 are close together.
- The vibe is kind of - The vibe makes you think it's an exit.
That's right.
We have to say hello.
Both squads, greetings to the spectators.
Next, we will have the Pledge of Allegiance.
Everyone, please stand up from your seats and stand facing the Taegeukgi.
Taegeukgi?
- It's over there. - Ah, it's over there.
Who is it today?
Who is it?
I'm shaking.
Today's national anthem will be sung by Wax,
Korea's representative vocalist celebrating 25 years since debut.
Wax.
Wax is here.
I'm shaking so much.
Yes, hello, it's singer Wax.
I sincerely consider it an honor
to sing the national anthem.
I'll be in your care.
Until the East Sea
and Mount Baekdu
dries and wears
God will help us
Hail to our nation
Mugunghwa, the whole of Korea
a glorious land
Daehan people
through Daehan
may we protect it forever
Definitely, a singer is different.
Wax.
I will always cheer for "Burn to win".
This year is Wax's 25th year since debut.
That's incredible.
If "Burn to win" does 25 years...
- How old are we? - That's what I'm saying.
We are 1 year old right now.
We are 1 year old.
If we're 26, we are in our prime.
The commentary... let's give it a lot of effort.
- Yes, 1 year old, we are. - Yes, we are now 1 year old.
Here where everything began,
the blue flames look to light up the baseball capital Busan.
Hello, everyone.
"Burn to win", the match between Busan High School and the Flame Fighters
will be with you all.
With expert analysis, it's commentator KIM SUN WOO.
- How do you do. - Hello.
Now they are greeting each other.
The team to face today.
The school that comes to mind when thinking of baseball in Busan.
It's Busan High School.
- Busan High and Kyungnam High. - That's right.
To LEE DAE HO from Kyungnam High,
what kind of performance will they show.
But they are Busan guys, so they won't get nervous easily.
If they actually play with a manly man style, this will really
We will watch on to see what these Busan men will show.
Hats off, greeting.
How do you do.
Thanks for your efforts.
Alright, let's put in a lot of effort.
- Alright, put in a lot of effort. - Fighting.
From this point where we start, this point onward
there is no frowning.
Laugh.
Don't you throw away this fun time.
This coach went to Summer Swag and played really hard for 3 hours and a half.
I still have that feeling.
You think that this is over there
and have fun.
Laugh.
Really do it while laughing.
- Got it? - Yes!
- Okay. - Let's go.
Let's go, have fun.
Let's win.
Alright, let's win.
- Fighting, let's go! - Ay!
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Let's get hot.
This is a burden too.
Why are you making me do this....
Let's go from the start, let's focus, okay.
We'll go on a win streak.
- Flame. - Fighters!
- You're good. - Flame.
I have laryngitis.
It's the batting order for Busan High School.
Number 1, Ha Hyun Jin.
Number 2, Suh Sung Bin.
Number 3, Lee Suh Joon.
Number 4, Choi Min Je.
Number 5, Kang Do Yun.
Number 6, Kang Dae Ho.
Number 7, Shin Ji Hun.
Number 8, Jang Ju Young.
Number 9, it's Kim Ji Hwan.
It's the defensive positions for the Flame Fighters.
Outfield, JUNG EUI YOON, LEE TAEK KEUN, CHOI SOO HYUN.
Infield is JEONG SEONG HOON, KIM JAE HO, JEONG KEUN WOO, LEE DAE HO.
The catcher is PARK JAE WOOK.
Busan's mound calls on this player.
The name that was with many memories in many years.
SONG SEUNG JUN, right here in the baseball capital Busan,
has his first start since the team's founding.
- SONG SEUNG JUN! - SONG SEUNG JUN!
It's chaos.
I'm getting goosebumps.
When SONG SEUNG JUN started, I watched thinking the match was won.
He always didn't allow runs, didn't he.
When I came here, SONG SEUNG JUN started every time.
A real legend.
His last start at Sajik was
against Doosan in October 14th, 2018.
In that game, he recorded no runs allowed in 5 and 1/3 innings.
He starts here after 2,506 days.
His last professional game was in September 8th, 2020,
starting in a match against Changwon NC,
which means this is his first pitching appearance in 1,811 days.
Even if it is Busan,
SONG SEUNG JUN's starting appearance
is not something anyone in the squad could or did expect.
- Don't get nervous, I think you'll throw well. - Good!
I can't digest.
It will be very nerve-racking.
In truth, I didn't know until right before the match, so...
An acquaintance of RHEE DAE EUN
What gimbap is it? Chungmu gimbap.
Brought that over.
I told him to eat it.
When he said he will stop eating, commentator KIM SUN WOO went,
"It's tasty, eat more"
"You can eat more"
"You'll get hungry later"
"You can eat more"
"You're not starting anyway"
But he is starting!
So today his stomach is a bit more protruding than usual.
Let's go.
SONG Sambong.
Let's go, SONG Family!
Let's go, romance baseball!
Let's go.
It's your home ground.
He'll be shaking, and also nervous.
Indeed, in this Sajik Baseball Stadium,
what pitching will he get to show.
He contests with the number 1 batter, Ha Hyun Jin.
It's the leadoff hitter, 10th grade center fielder Ha Hyun Jin.
Don't be discouraged.
- Do more. - Do it!
You have to hit against the Kyungnam High alumni.
The 10th grader has a league batting average of 0.306
and is good at stealing bases too,
so he is a player as dangerous as Ha Hyun Seung.
Okay, let's go from the first pitch.
The ball goes past the catcher.
- Nice, that's it. - Doing well.
SONG Family, you nervous?
Slowly.
It feels like the stomach isn't going over.
Huh?
It seems like the stomach is kind of not folding.
The stomach isn't folding. He ate too much today.
It sticks in low and inside.
Fastball at 133km/h.
Okay.
That's it.
The pitch is good.
Looking alive!
It goes in accurately on the outside.
- He has experience. - We have to get on base.
Hyun Jin, go break it open!
Hit!
Do it, go hit it.
Calmly.
I don't know, there should be a desire to strike out the first batter.
Pitcher's count.
Starting pitcher SONG SEUNG JUN.
It's caught on the end of the bat.
That's it.
Hey! Run!
It's caught on the end of the bat, ground ball.
The second baseman fishes it out and throws to first.
He's out at first base.
It's freed up now.
That's it.
Okay.
The old senior seems to be back?
Yes, as soon as the game started, against a left-handed batter,
with a four-seam, curve, and splitter,
he steadily gets strikes.
He would have started on the mound with such a shaking heart,
but SONG SEUNG JUN got the first step well.
I'm full.
Hyun Jin, what?
- Forkball last. - The ball doesn't come.
- Hit it. - You can see it, the forkball.
Forkball, curve.
What about the fastball?
He stuck the fastball on the inside to me.
Now, 11 grader Suh Sung Bin is at the plate.
He is a player with good contact
and has much confidence in hitting,
so they say he is the type to swing daringly.
Sung Bin.
Breaking ball.
Show us.
Show us your class.
The first pitch is a breaking ball.
What's that curve.
It's really so good right now.
It goes in towards the inside.
135km/h.
Look at the pitch selection.
He just throws this four-seam while tossing breaking balls.
He throws them where it hurts.
It was a pitch sticking into the inside.
He's 45 years old and pitching like that?
- Wow, the ball... - Amazing.
He suddenly got the call to start,
but his condition looks very good.
- His concentration is excellent. - That's right.
The breaking ball low was pulled,
but right at the second baseman.
JEONG KEUN WOO takes care of yet another out.
2 outs.
Easy.
That's it.
The defense. He's definitely Busan High.
Kyung High pitches
and Bu High caught it.
Right now, JEONG KEUN WOO caught it but made a bad throw to first base, but LEE DAE HO
got mad and threw it harder.
Hey, JEONG KEUN WOO, aren't we friends.
He went like that, but suddenly, what are you!
Even the same team fights between Busan High and Kyungnam High.
Hey.
This distance is...
2 outs.
Now it's the number 3 batter, Lee Suh Joon.
- He's here. - Suh Joon!
- Lee Suh Joon! - He's here, Lee Suh Joon!
- Lee Suh Joon! - Who's this!
Who's this.
How do you do.
6 home run batter.
- Is it 4 home runs or 6 home runs. - It's 6.
Recording a batting average of 0.316 in the season,
and even recording 6 home runs as well.
In particular, he is a player who won 3 awards including the weekend league second half MVP.
- What's the deal with this kid's physique? - Good physique.
He has good power too.
Crazy physique...
They say he's really good.
Hey, good thighs too.
- 6 home runs? - Looks like he could hit them.
Ain't you a home run batter.
Let's get on first base from the 1st inning.
First pitch, low and away for a ball.
It's a ball.
- Suh Joon, good eye. - Lee Suh Joon, do it.
It's mishit, high into foul territory.
- PARK JAE WOOK follows. - PARK JAE WOOK.
- That's it. - Okay.
He can't, no way.
- PARK JAE WOOK follows. - PARK JAE WOOK.
Trying to hit a home run?
Let's hit a home run!
Suh Joon, loosen up.
Breaking ball, he pulls sharply to the left side.
Left side,
it's foul.
Good hitting.
That was dangerous.
He hits the breaking ball. He's coming in looking for the breaking ball.
If it's like this, I wish SONG SEUNG JUN will throw a four-seam on the outside.
Because right now the timing is spot on for the breaking ball.
If he read that, it's a four-seam on the outside.
Against the threatening batter Lee Suh Joon, the count is one and two.
That's it.
Four-seam on the outside.
It went a bit high now, so the count is two and two.
Good ball.
The pitches are killer today.
Relax.
He can go again.
Count two and two.
- It's outside again. - It was good.
This means it goes on to a full count contest.
- He has to be fooled, because the number 4 batter hits well. - Yeah.
Lefty.
You know what this means?
It's actually a splitter.
This is kind of late.
I think the late bat means he is thinking breaking ball.
- Came out wrong. - Good.
Take one out.
Let's go, signature.
Strike out swinging on the low breaking ball.
It got caught on the check swing and becomes a foul ball.
Cut!
Look at the cut.
Hit aggressively.
Lee Suh Joon, do it.
Makes contact on the low breaking ball.
Another foul ball.
Wow...
- That's scary. - He swings well.
Then, he has to go fastball again.
The timing on the breaking ball is so good.
Nice ball.
His pitch count is rising, SONG SEUNG JUN.
No walks, he must contest here.
He nods on the one finger.
SONG SEUNG JUN.
He makes contact on the fastball.
The ball going towards center field, the center fielder
runs back and catches this ball.
LEE TAEK KEUN.
Hey.
Who's that, is it LEE TAEK KEUN.
Now, the ball was going towards LEE TAEK KEUN
and then curled at the end, surprising LEE TAEK KEUN.
But LEE TAEK KEUN
caught it well.
But at the end, looking at him putting on the brakes with this step,
I can feel his age a bit.
- I can feel his age. - Is that so.
Pitcher SONG SEUNG JUN making his first start since the team's founding.
He completes the starting inning with a clean 1-2-3 inning.
Sambong.
My stomach can't digest.
It's digested.
It can't digest, the milmyeon's in trouble.
Milmyeon.
Don't overdo it. You have to pitch to the 5th inning, but you are throwing too hard.
- SEUNG JUN is very stable? - He's doing too well?
- And the pitch selection is going in extremely easy. - That's what I'm saying.
Kang Won.
As I say every time, don't try to do well, got it?
Don't try to do well and just have fun and come down, got it?
- Don't get tense trying to do well, got it? - Yes.
It's surprising.
- Manager Park Gye Won has - Slowly.
chosen Kim Kang Won as the starter.
This player is a 10th grader,
but he already is recording a maximum velocity up to 146km/h.
The especially scary thing is that he pitches a fastball and curve,
and the RPM on the fastball comes close to 2,400~2,600.
So I want to really see today if this is true.
Then he's not a 10th grader.
But he is a 10th grader.
He's a 10th grader, but he's a 10th grade player who's already 183cm tall.
He's not a 10th grader.
But he is a 10th grader.
Even if you look at him again, he's a 10th grader.
This won't do.
But I am watching his warmup pitching now,
and his form is this smooth?
He throws well, prettily.
Kang Won, cover the base for the left-handed batter.
A 10th grader starting on a spectator game
- That's why it can't do. This will be a problem. - It'll be so nerve-racking.
It's Sajik.
Let's go with the lineup!
Flame lineup!
- Number 1 batter. - JEONG KEUN WOO.
- Number 2 batter. - CHOI SOO HYUN.
- Number 3 batter. - PARK YONG TAIK.
- Number 4 batter. - LEE DAE HO.
- Number 5 batter. - JUNG EUI YOON.
- Number 6 batter. - JEONG SEONG HOON.
- Number 7 batter. - LEE TAEK KEUN.
- Number 8 batter. - PARK JAE WOOK.
- Number 9 batter. - KIM JAE HO.
- Flame pitcher. - SONG SEUNG JUN.
FIghters.
Now, it's the Flame Fighters' offense in the bottom of the 1st inning.
We will start from the number 1 hitter, JEONG KEUN WOO.
Let's go from the start.
Let's go.
JEONG KEUN WOO
is recording a batting average of 0.289 this season.
JEONG KEUN WOO's batting average has risen quite a lot.
It's an honor.
Show us the 10th grade spirit!
- Show us, 10th grader Kim Kang Won. - 10th grader!
Let's get on.
Ain't it Busan.
Let's go, kill him, Kang Won.
He makes contact from the first pitch.
A weak ground ball.
Shortstop Lee Suh Joon
takes care of it cleanly.
- Nice. - Clean defense.
Good.
Whenever he comes to Sajik, this guy bats while floating, KEUN WOO.
His stuff looks good?
No, even if the stuff is good, he can't hit whenever he comes to Sajik.
That guy hurries whenever he comes to Sajik.
I mean, but is he really a 10th grader?
I have said this multiple times, he is a 10th grader.
The first thing that I see is
his arm is very long, despite being a 10th grade student.
From there, his pitching form is very smooth.
Look at that smile.
Seeing that expression, he's definitely a 10th grader.
He is a 10th grader.
Now we go on to the number 2 batter, CHOI SOO HYUN's at-bat.
Slowly.
It's smooth, but this CHOI SOO HYUN
has to hit it.
We have to get some runs first today
- to make SONG SEUNG JUN's body lighter. - That's right.
Let's go, Lu Bu.
We can do it from number 2.
Life is real.
Show us, Kang Won.
First pitch is a strike on the inside.
Fastball at 140km/h.
That's how you put it in.
Pitcher, nice ball.
It goes high, 1 ball, 1 strike.
It's a fastball at 142km/h.
He's a 10th grader but he throws well?
He's a 10th grader but throws 142km/h.
I know, right.
- He's not a starter for no reason. - When he becomes a 12th grader, he will hit 150km/h.
- The arm coming over is quick. - Yeah.
I went in underestimating him and uh...
The third pitch goes low, 2 balls, 1 strike.
It's tight.
Almost.
Good ball.
You can do a bit more.
- It goes wide on the outside. - Loosen up.
He gets his velocity up to 144km/h.
3 balls, 1 strike.
If you get greedy with speed, in front of this many spectators,
- since it is his first appearance, how nervous will he be. - That's right.
144km/h, but he's tensing up.
- Loosen up. - Loosen up.
Now 3 balls, 1 strike.
The count advantage is to the batter.
It's a chance, a batting chance.
Okay, aim for one.
It's pitcher Kim Kang Won who took care of JEONG KEUN WOO cleanly.
Low, it's a base on balls.
Nice on base.
Yes, set it up.
It's a ball?
Umpire!
You did good.
Slowly.
It's become 1 out, runner on first.
Now we go to the number 3 batter, PARK YONG TAIK.
- PARK YONG TAIK! - PARK YONG TAIK!
Do you hear it?
It's the shout of the fan's chanting PARK YONG TAIK.
- PARK YONG TAIK! - PARK YONG TAIK!
Hey.
The opponent is the enemy today.
I hope he rips one.
Good feel.
PARK YONG TAIK's batting average for the season has rocketed up to 0.256,
making his letter C on his left chest quite bigger.
- Really? - Yes.
Why is it really that big?
They said they will make it bigger if he goes over 0.300.
That's not a C, that's a magnet.
We are the Fighters,
but we look like the Cighters because the C is too big.
When I was young, magnets used to look like that.
- The horseshoe magnet? - Yes, the horseshoe magnet.
That's right.
Let's go, Sajik TAIK, SaTAIK.
- Well, Sajik TAIK is - Of course.
something we all know. Today, about 4 hits?
Enjoy.
Do it.
He turns it sharply to right!
But this ball goes right to the right fielder.
It's the disappointed Sajik TAIK, PARK YONG TAIK.
Nice catch.
Sajik TAIK...
Right at him.
It was well-hit...
But it was hit too well.
And because his hitting feel has been extremely good recently,
I said I am expecting a bit right now, but it was right at him too much.
Number 4 hitter, first baseman, LEE DAE HO.
- DAE HO. - DAE HO.
Now in the batter's box, number 4 hitter,
the batter who was this Sajik's hero,
who was the Giant of Sajik.
LEE DAE HO has come back to this place again.
- DAE HO, DAE HO. - DAE HO, DAE HO.
The king of Sajik.
Whoa...
It's different, DAE HO.
Really different.
I want to hear it.
I had shivers down my spine right now.
We grew up watching this as well.
The cheering is greater than ever.
The first at-bat at this Sajik Baseball Stadium that LEE DAE HO steps into
is very moving.
But for Kim Kang Won,
the great Kyungnam High superstar that he's only heard of,
- to be facing him head-on, how nerve-racking will that be. - I know, right.
First pitch, it's a strike up the middle.
Good.
Do Yun!
Deep on the line, outfield extra bases! Tell them.
And in my dream, it is really an unbelievable thing, but
I have that memory of him hitting a home run at Sajik Baseball Stadium after retiring.
- I have that too. - Really?
This player was
a player that fit this Sajik that much.
It's odd.
He hit well every time he came to Busan.
DAE HO seems like he'll pick this and send one over.
Let's go!
Okay, aim for one.
Good ball.
Fight him.
He pulls it.
Okay.
He pulls it.
Third baseman!
He caught the upwards bounce and to first.
They take care of the out at first base.
What's with the handling?
He caught it like this...
He caught that upwards bounce.
- Wow... - But look at that.
The first baseman as well.
Look at his backstep.
The defense is really good.
It won't be easy today.
Kang Do Yun.
- Kang Do Yun. - How did you catch that, one more.
With Lee Suh Joon and Kang Do Yun with the good defense,
the 10th grader Kim Kang Won
protects the first inning without allowing points in the end.
We go to the second inning.
It keeps going into the third base glove.
I thought this would be easy, but it seems it won't be easy?
I thought it will be easy, but it seems it won't be easy?
I mean, because they are all 10th graders.
Busan kids have guts.
But SEUNG JUN's pitching is more surprising.
- I know, right, he's throwing so easily. - He threw too easily.
If this is the case, SEUNG JUN should be starting.
Now we go to Busan High School's offense at the top of the second inning.
Still on the mound is SONG SEUNG JUN.
Come to think of it, SONG SEUNG JUN has an option.
If he achieves a 5 inning starting win,
SONG SEUNG JUN, while the win is also precious,
will get his original salary
starting from that match, reversing the pay cut.
But I do think he will get there.
If we get runs, I think he will get there.
The leadoff batter, Choi Min Je.
- The good-hitting batter is out here. - Agreed.
Batting average, RBIs, and OPS,
he is first within the team.
In particular, when he was an 11th grader,
- he is a batter that record a home run against Jeong Woojoo. - Is that so.
- When he was a 11th grader. - Yes.
If you hit a home run here, it's a drinking story for life.
Out-of-the-park home run.
It's the background screen if he hits a home run.
- Min Je, let's go. - Min Je, show us.
Let's go, the man who hit Jeong Woojoo's pitch for a home run.
Min Je, let's go.
First pitch, a breaking ball strike.
Up high, it's foul.
Good.
Today, SONG SEUNG JUN seems to be in extremely good condition...
That milmyeon earlier.
Because of the milmyeon and chungmu gimbap,
I think his condition is good.
It's the meal power.
What SONG SEUNG JUN ate today was
First, lunch box. Second, a bowl of milmyeon.
Third, even the chungmu gimbap.
He's throwing with his stomach power.
He ate all this in 1 hour.
He makes contact with the breaking ball.
- It becomes a base hit through the middle. - It was high.
The first base hit for Busan High School in today's match
is made by the number 4 batter, Choi Min Je.
Let's be calm.
It's a missed pitch.
It centered to the middle.
The curve got centered.
It was a curve.
Not missing the curve dropping in the middle, he pushes it.
A base hit...
Oh damn.
This means the leadoff hitter has gotten on base,
and now it connects to the number 5 batter, Kang Do Yun's at-bat.
Batting average of 0.304 in the league
and recording 2 home runs is Kang Do Yun.
He's an 11th grader.
I thought he was amazing with the handling,
- but he was an 11th grader. - That's right.
Let's get two.
Let's look for two.
Let's go two.
First pitch is thrown opposite. It's a ball.
It bounced.
- Good eye. - He's unsettled!
I don't know,
after allowing the base hit to Choi Min Je,
pitcher SONG SEUNG JUN is starting the count battle with 2 balls.
JAE YOUNG.
JAE YOUNG, get out.
JAE YOUNG!
JAE YOUNG! I said get out.
Go play catch.
Don't be lying around, damn.
- Is he getting a Thai massage. - Get loose quickly.
Should have done it in the first inning.
What's the situation?
- I'll go. - Yeah, you just go play catch.
Why, what's the situation?
Come on, digest already.
Go in after looking.
Let them hit.
The ball bounces to the side.
However the runner wasn't able to move.
And it's 3 balls.
Why are you doing that.
Hey, do it quickly!
Yes!
Count ball 3.
He has to throw in a strike here at all cost.
It was high.
So this means SONG SEUNG JUN allows consecutive bases with a base hit and walk.
Should I go up there?
- Time out. - Time.
Now they have to break the flow.
PARK JAE WOOK goes up
and has to buy them some time.
The digestion is making me crazy.
Didn't you eat too much?
My body isn't going over.
That's right, it's not coming over too well.
- I can't digest even now. - Let's take it slow.
Even if you don't try to put it in
It's fine.
You don't have to try to avoid getting hit too much.
Since it's the beginning,
we get results when we at least get them to hit.
He won't bunt, right?
Well, he could, he is a kid that hits well usually.
- Let's have a go at it. - Okay.
Let's get two.
- SEUNG JUN, are you going to do it? - Huh?
- Are you going to do it? - Let's call.
Let's call as it goes.
So, it's become a no out, runners on first and second situation.
And up to bat
is the number 6 batter, Kang Dae Ho.
- Little Dae Ho. - It's Little Dae Ho.
Dae Ho.
- Dae Ho. - Dae Ho.
Hey, rein it in.
- He'll bunt, right? - Definitely.
Because they are students, thinking a bunt is coming,
LEE DAE HO has been pulled forward.
Let's stop it.
Give it.
The ball bounces again!
- Go! - Go!
The ball bounces again!
PARK JAE WOOK was not able to block it. Even without a bunt,
Busan High School make a runner on second and third situation.
Oh my god.
He got greedy. He should have just given it to him.
Now this was a miss
and it's a situation where we made second and third base too easy for them.
- I don't know. - Yes, the curve on the lower side
This dropped further in front than PARK JAE WOOK thought,
leading to this miss.
There was no block.
From the second inning, we are in a really unbelievable
danger of allowing runs.
Before today's match, manager KIM SUNG KUN
wasn't able to start this match with us
because of his body condition.
During this time, will the players, along with the coach,
be able to navigate this match by themselves.
You're all done?
- Almost? - Yes.
Infield, what do we do?
They pulled the infield forward.
This means despite it being the early phase, they won't give up a run.
Because SONG SEUNG JUN can get ground balls,
he just needs to throw low.
- The ball drops but he doesn't react. - He's not hitting.
Good eye.
He lets this pitch go without hitting.
A 10th grader?
If that's the case then,
he has to slowly rile him up.
The great pitcher of Kyungnam High,
will he get done by a 10th grader.
It comes in on the inside.
Good.
Now, after 6 pitches, he finally gets a strike called.
Let's stop them.
Do it one at a time.
Do it with the batter.
On the outside, it doesn't go in.
3 balls, 1 strike.
It's a ball!
Okay! Ah...
It's a nice ball...
Kang Dae Ho, go confidently.
Batting chance!
It's very difficult with the pitch count rising this inning,
but this SONG SEUNG JUN cannot allow runs first.
Right now is a very critical situation for us "Burn to win".
This time, it's a bit more inside. This time, strike.
Nice ball.
Hit it!
Trying to hit a forkball?
The tight contest now becomes a full count.
- Strikeout! - Strikeout!
- Please strikeout. - Please.
Strikeout swinging on the dropping breaking ball.
Live up to your name.
- Kang Dae Ho. - Dae Ho has to do it.
Pitcher SONG SEUNG JUN.
Full count.
Breaking ball dropped low! Swings and misses for the strikeout!
This is really big.
In a danger situation, he gets the out via strikeout.
SONG SEUNG JUN.
He can't do anything with the splitter.
He got had.
- 3-2 full count. - It was perfect.
This is maturity.
- You don't just get 100 wins in the KBO? - That's right.
- Wow, forkball at 2-3 is nuts. - I know, right.
Crazy decision.
He has a heart of steel.
1 out.
And now it leads to the number 7 hitter, 10th grader Shin Ji Hun.
Let's focus, let's stop them.
First pitch strike up the middle.
- What's with that stuff? - That's what I'm saying.
If we stop this, the flow comes over to us.
It will really come over here.
Let's go, SONG family.
- Right away! - Second pitch is also a strike.
He's got his form, nice.
He's got it now.
I mean, really in this situation,
in a 1 out, second and third situation,
SONG SEUNG JUN chose
2 four-seams.
Who thinks like this.
The continuing crisis of conceding runs.
Two outs remaining.
You can get him like before with the forkball.
Forkball...
- I think he will go forkball now. - He got the feel for the forkball.
Ball count at 2 strikes.
He makes contact with the low pitch.
Go past.
Third baseman.
There is nowhere to throw.
This became 1 out, bases loaded, but
this really is a situation where the batter-runner should have been easily caught out.
- He couldn't handle the bounce. - That's right.
KIM JAE HO moved quickly to try to throw something.
The bounce was not handled.
Good save.
- Let's change. - Yes.
JAE YOUNG, get ready.
In the end, coach LEE KWANG GIL comes up.
I can't throw because I can't digest.
My waist can't go over.
- I can't digest. - This is all because of the milmyeon.
- Because of the milmyeon. - You ate too much milmyeon.
- Good effort. - SEONG HOON.
- They see that this is it? - That's right.
- SONG SEUNG JUN! - SONG SEUNG JUN!
Starting pitcher SONG SEUNG JUN, at this Sajik Baseball Stadium,
leaves the mound with the applause of many fans.
This was the starting pitcher, SONG SEUNG JUN.
Okay.
Nice pitch, okay.
Thank you for your efforts.
The player that inherits the mound
is the relief pitcher SHIN JAE YOUNG.
- You have to get them, with confidence. - Yes.
They don't have quick feet, double.
- 1 out. - I have to do the set position, right?
Without the windup?
We might pickoff the runner.
1 out.
In the most important turning point of the contest in the early stages, up to the mound comes
SHIN JAE YOUNG.
During SHIN JAE YOUNG's appearance before the last,
when he left runners on base in a danger situation,
the player who stopped all those inherited runners was SONG SEUNG JUN.
Now the positions are switched.
In today's match, SHIN JAE YOUNG has to stop them.
Against high schoolers, again with the perfect slider,
he has the highest chance of getting things like a strikeout or double play at 1 out, bases loaded.
That's why they sent down SONG SEUNG JUN
and sent this player up.
- Because there is a strong belief. - That's right.
Will he be able to stop these 3 runners
from third, second, and first base.
And it's Jang Ju Young.
Jang Ju Young is a 10th grade catcher.
- They say he got a grand slam in a recent practice game. - Really?
Ju Young hit a grand slam recently.
His feel is really good.
- I think he'll stop it. - Huh?
I think he'll stop it.
- JAE YOUNG is good recently. - This guy hits well, doesn't he.
No.
JAE YOUNG is good recently.
Kids can't hit JAE YOUNG's slider.
Let's throw it confidently.
The first pitch is extremely important.
- What will SHIN JAE YOUNG's slider look like to these students. - That's right.
First pitch, he gets the swing and miss.
The slider is so good.
You can't hit that.
It's a magic pitch.
You can't hit it.
That's it, this is what I wanted to see.
This is what I wanted to see.
Why, because in this situation, when the sharpness of SHIN JAE YOUNG's slider gets in,
do the batters swing and miss or not.
This is what I wanted to see.
I strongly believe.
I believe in SHIN JAE YOUNG.
- Again, swing and miss! - That's it!
- Heave-ho slider. - Heave-ho.
- Can't hit that. - Can't hit it.
Can't do that.
- No! - Really can't do that.
Done, game over.
Really?
- No, we don't know. I don't know. - We can watch comfortably?
If the ball goes in, it's over.
SHIN JAE YOUNG got to strike 2 extremely fast and comfortably.
It's all sliders to the outside.
Aim for that and hit it.
Outside!
1 out, bases loaded.
Choi Min Je, Kang Do Yun,
even Shin Ji Hun is out on the bases.
He has to throw a slider out by about 4 balls.
He doesn't have to throw anything like a fastball.
It's caught on the end of the bat.
It got caught on the end.
Make sure.
Should have put it out more.
Do it with certainty, you have the advantage.
So, 3 pitches.
The first two were swung on and missed.
And the pitch just before caught on the end of the bat.
He has to drop it low and away for a ball.
Pitch on the outside.
Whoa!
Please!
Please.
He pushes it to the right, this ball!
This ball!
Becomes foul outside the line.
Damn...
Wow, damn...
It's foul!
- I mean... - Right now,
he made contact by almost throwing the bat.
- Wow... - He hits this?
It looked like the bat got 2~3 inches longer for a moment.
Whoa...
If he hadn't hit it, it was a ball.
I told him not to be a gas station owner, damn it.
You can't make him reach it!
He keeps letting their bats reach it.
Throw it so that it doesn't reach.
JAE WOOK, you can't let them reach.
It was outside the batter's box.
You did good.
Ju Young's got confidence.
Ju Young's bat got lighter.
So, PARK JAE WOOK and SHIN JAE YOUNG are continuing their outside contest.
For the first time, he puts the mitt to the inside.
Will he be able to be
a nose-burning spice.
Inside! It goes in!
- That's cool! - Looking strikeout, SHIN JAE YOUNG!
SHIN JAE YOUNG is cool.
Okay!
That's it.
Inside! It goes in!
- That's cool! - Looking strikeout, SHIN JAE YOUNG!
SHIN JAE YOUNG is cool.
In a 1 out, bases loaded situation,
he gets an out with a strikeout.
The first inside contest
works perfectly.
This is pitching in a perfect fighter style.
Inside?
Because he can make contact on the slider outside, going inside?
It was amazing pitching.
This was really spicy.
It had a spicier flavor than Thai peppers, this one pitch.
It's a nice ball.
He got caught off guard, he was probably looking for the slider again?
There is one left.
Now there is one out remaining, it's become 2 outs, bases loaded.
Up to bat is the 11th grader, Kim Ji Hwan.
Please.
Let's win, please!
- We have to end it here! - Please.
Here!
Let's get the batter, let's get him.
Surely.
He makes contact.
Three.
Completely changed Cleanlab.
As expected of an ace.
It's a performance taking care of the entire life.
Improving even the small discomforts,
nice play.
- As expected of the national brand, Cleanlab. - The national brand, Cleanlab.
- Caring for life, Cleanlab. - Cleanlab.
He makes contact.
Three.
He makes contact.
- That's it! - Third baseman blocks with his body.
- And to first base. - That's it.
He's out at first!
- I pitched 1 inning, no runs allowed. - No runs allowed.
Okay!
SEONG HOON.
SHIN JAE YOUNG returns the favor to the pitching captain.
Showcasing pitching without runs allowed,
he leaves the mound.
It's still 0:0.
We go to the Flame Fighters' offense in the bottom of the second inning.
- Doing well. - Doing well.
You stopped them well.
- Nice ball. - Nice pitching.
Thank you for your efforts.
Okay, nice ball.
Hey, what are you doing celebrating before it's over.
No, I thought it went
and I thought it was a base hit, so I was so happy it got caught at third.
Good job.
- It's really a relief. - Good job.
- Good stop. - Yes.
Thank you for your efforts.
I still can't digest.
Hey, you stopped this?
It was really cool.
He suddenly kept throwing to the outside,
and I have a thought that it would be good to go inside for once.
JAE WOOK put his mitt right at the inside.
- Really. - It's not easy because it is bases loaded.
- That's right. - Because a hit by pitch can't happen.
He's been upgraded.
We start with the banner cheering song!
Flame Fighters!
The banner cheer is going on.
Despite no runs scored, the atmosphere here is
hotter than ever.
Also today, the general manager Jang Si-won's hometown is here,
and this is also the place he got to like baseball.
He's prepared so much,
flames are coming out already.
- You have to understand Busan. - That's right.
Whatever general manager Jang Si-won does, you have to understand Busan.
I mean, even if that's the case.
At his hometown, just
You can do anything in your hometown.
He is making a festival with the fans.
The player that made this festival hotter
was SHIN JAE YOUNG.
Is the ball coming to you, YONG TAIK?
It comes in well.
- What was it when the glove opens up? - Breaking ball.
Listen up, the glove, right.
If the glove goes like this and the ends
close up, it's a fastball.
If this opens up, it's definitely a breaking ball.
- Fastball, breaking ball. - Fastball, breaking ball, okay, tipping pitches.
- Tell it to the people who come in. - Yes.
It seems like a breaking ball if he turns.
- If the glove opens up, the probability of it being a breaking ball goes up. - If the glove opens up, it's a breaking ball.
Coach can't see well, but he says he can see.
He says the chances of a fastball is higher when it closes.
- What? - If the glove is like this,
if it opens up, breaking ball.
Coach can see, we can't see from here.
- You go see if you can see from there. - Yes.
Chance after a crisis.
So now, we go on to the Flame Fighters' offense in the bottom of the second inning.
We go from the leadoff batter, JUNG EUI YOON.
- Hello, umpire. - How do you do.
Because they stopped them without any runs allowed,
the Fighters are in a situation to get hold of this flow itself.
And to score runs in this situation? We...
- can become really good. - That's right.
We thought we will just concede runs.
But we didn't.
Now, it's the leadoff batter JUNG EUI YOON.
It's JUNG EUI YOON who has dropped to third in the team for batting average at 0.318.
What kind of performance will he show in the first at-bat of today's game?
I wish I could see the glove from here.
- Let's go, from number 5. - I want to see these habits.
Let's go.
Let's rip it.q
Fastball.
I saw.
It's fastball, it is opened up.
First pitch, breaking ball comes in.
- Nice ball. - It's a nice ball.
- It's a breaking ball? - It's a breaking ball?
- JUNG EUI YOON. - He said it's that if it opens up, right?
- Right, he said breaking ball if it's open. - It's the opposite, right.
- Let's go, JUNG Rose. - We'll see.
These days, Rose JUNG is all the rage.
Recently, the roses have disappeared a lot.
Oh damn...
Ground ball caught on the end of the bat.
- Shortstop Lee Suh Joon takes care of it cleanly, 1 out. - He's good.
- Clean. - Clean.
Clean.
Look at the movement of the shortstop.
We complimented him a lot at the batter's box before too.
He's good.
1 out.
Good defense.
He hit it too lightly.
Now it's the number 6 batter, JEONG SEONG HOON.
Let's go, baseball genius.
In the inning right before, JEONG SEONG HOON had difficulties with this Sajik's mound.
- Thank you. - He is currently second in the team for batting average with 0.320.
- Thank you for your effort. - Good effort.
However, for JEONG SEONG HOON this season
- to be starting this much, we are grateful. - Of course.
Still, before the match, he is wobbling.
But when he gets into the baseball field,
- his eyes change, JEONG SEONG HOON. - That's right.
This is so thankful.
First pitch is ball.
Okay.
Let's go.
It's ball again.
It's come in deep, 3 balls.
Look at that, why a ball again.
Focus!
Loosen up,
your body. Just get hit!
- JEONG SEONG HOON! - JEONG SEONG HOON!
Let's go, baseball genius.
Let's get on base.
Let's go, let's get on.
He take a ball outside, straight walk.
A walk after 1 out.
Like the last inning, we succeed in getting on base.
- Thank you for your efforts. - Good effort.
And now, at 1 out with a runner on first, the batting order leads to LEE TAEK KEUN.
Actually, LEE TAEK KEUN is also from Busan.
What result will he make in the first spectator game in Busan,
in the first spectator game since the team's founding.
Let's go, TAEK KEUN V.
The first pitch becomes a ball again.
That's it.
The chance is coming. It's a big inning.
Kang Won, put the point in front!
The ball is outside.
It goes high for 3 balls.
He's done, it's over.
Umpire, we'll call time.
You go up at 3 balls?
The catcher and him are both 10th graders.
- 10th grade battery. - Must be fun.
It's the age where it doesn't matter if they do well or not.
There's nothing to lose.
Kang Won, get up.
Look.
The score is tight.
It's the bottom of the batting order, right.
But why are you keep throwing balls.
Even if you are hit, there are fielders.
- Got it? - Okay.
Just, the point up front.
The atmosphere of the field has come over to our side now.
He looks at a ball up the middle.
Okay.
That's good, just like that now.
Coming in even here,
I hope LEE TAEK KEUN thinks four-seam
and turns one of the biggest swings.
Thinking big.
You can allow a home run.
- I'll really hit one. - Yes!
- Have to hit it. - Have to look for it.
If a fastball comes, he has to hit it. He has to hack it at one two.
- Have to hit the fastball. - Hack it.
If you think of two with the breaking ball at 2-3, you'll be late for the fastball.
Hack it, one two.
He hits it hard but it's in foul territory. He follows.
Stop.
It drops where it couldn't be caught.
He almost died.
It's now a full count.
What pitch will the 10th grade battery choose?
That's it!
He pulls it, foul along the third base line.
That was close, the TAEK KEUN zone.
His control on the breaking ball is good.
For a 10th grader, this is good pitching.
After catcher Jang Ju Young visited the mound,
Kim Kang Won is planting 2 consecutive pitches into the strike zone.
I thought he will just throw fastballs because the control was gone.
- But he actually went the opposite way, right? - That's right.
This fight that started out at 3 balls, has come to a full count.
Starting pitcher Kim Kang Won.
Will the 10th grade pitcher be able to get LEE TAEK KEUN?
Let's get on.
He places the mitt low.
Full count contest.
He holds back, base on balls.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Good eye. - Nice.
He succeeds in getting on base on 8 pitches.
The manager Park Gye Won heads to the mound himself.
Oh, you idiot.
It's the bottom of the order, why are you throwing balls...
- Good effort, look, because you gave up the walk. - Yes.
- Good job. - Good effort.
You pitched well.
He considers this to be the end.
Busan High School replaces their pitcher.
The pitcher taking over the mound is 11th grader Kim Min Hyuk.
- It's first and second. - Yes.
This player is a right-handed sidearm pitcher.
He throws a two-seam.
But with this two-seam, with no regard to left-handed or right-handed batters,
he is a player excelling at inducing ground balls.
- Get your balance, and just throw low. - Yes.
1 out, runners on first and second base.
JEONG SEONG HOON and LEE TAEK KEUN is out on base,
and up to bat is PARK JAE WOOK.
It's clear.
PARK JAE WOOK is up, and we will get a double play with a ground ball.
Two-seam.
Throw the two-seam.
That's right.
JAE WOOK.
JAE WOOK, get hit on a pitch inside.
- Let's go, son of Busan. - Let's go.
Even now, the pitch comes deep inside for a ball.
You should get in business.
He throws a sinker well too. He just threw one deep inside.
He throws a two-seam naturally to the inside of the right-handed batter like that.
If the strike goes in, it seems like it will be really tricky.
He's nervous.
It's deep.
He is shaken the moment he came onto the mound, coming to 3 balls now.
JAE WOOK, close your eyes.
Don't get greedy.
Close them.
This time he gets the strike count.
- Oh, come on... - If he hit it, it would have been jammed.
PARK JAE WOOK has to decide here.
The last time when he hit a home run,
he turned the bat on a
3-1 count.
Will he do that confident swing now.
Look for it.
Rip a fastball.
- It's a strike. - It goes curling to the outside.
That's right.
It looks like the ball stops and tails away to the outside.
Look at the spin.
Going with a breaking ball here?
It's a slider with extremely good spin.
No way he is throwing another breaking ball, right?
3-2 full count.
- He hoists it, the ball sailing high into foul territory. - In front.
It heads to the bleachers.
Nice ball.
It's dangerous.
Get in there!
Good timing.
Okay.
Just don't get your head up.
But PARK JAE WOOK dealt with it well now.
How do these young Busan High players throw breaking balls so well at the full count?
The continuing full count contest.
Foul.
It's mishit, and pops up high. It's another foul.
It's a foul that goes behind.
Nice cut.
Good timing.
Good.
You have to best it.
You win it!
Even the Busan High School students know as well now.
The terrifying number 8, 9 batters of "Burn to win".
We have to be careful here.
3-2, full count.
Will PARK JAE WOOK be able to make the first run.
He holds back on the ball outside.
Woah!
He held back on that.
This long contest.
PARK JAE WOOK creates a walk in the end.
This contest here was not the pitcher
meekly giving up a walk.
PARK JAE WOOK hit off all the good balls
- to create the walk. - That it is.
Holding back on all the numerous good pitches,
cutting and made a very precious walk.
Good.
Shocked, wow.
3 walks, base on balls for 3 batters in a row
has become 1 out, bases loaded.
It leads to the number 9 batter, KIM JAE HO.
- Thank you for your efforts. - How do you do.
Good effort.
But why does it have to be KIM JAE HO.
Why did it have to be KIM JAE HO.
You can do it, JAE HO.
Don't get your hopes up, he hits when you don't.
Today, the MVP will have a special 3 million won prize.
Right, there is investment support fund.
And then, KIM JAE HO right now is
a player who is hungry for money.
Yes, he has to hit here.
Ground ball, double.
It's KIM JAE HO's first at-bat.
That was dangerous.
The catcher Jang Ju Young stops this?
He stops that?
- He's a goalkeeper? - Good block.
Jang Ju Young, good.
Get him ready.
- The glove went the other way. - That's right.
It went the other way but it was caught by the super sense of those young players.
It went the opposite way, how do you block that?
Meanwhile he even pushed it back inside all the way.
Youth is good.
The first pitch is ball.
Fight, get hit!
Get hit!
There are fielders!
The pitcher Kim Min Hyuk may be shaken on the mound.
And this time get a strike on the outside.
Okay.
You knew how to put it in.
- You can just do it like that. - Min Hyuk!
It's a strike? Oh my.
He puts this in?
In this tense situation, he has to show the abilities of the veteran.
It's another strike again.
- That's it, man! - Please.
Do it.
It was right on the outside edge.
It was a strike right now?
- KIM JAE HO, base hit. - KIM JAE HO, base hit.
You have to finish it.
Finish it!
We are waiting for a base hit, or even an outfield fly.
He makes contact.
The ball is high in the air.
- Huh? Okay. - That's it.
That's it, at least we got one in.
He can't go in.
- It's enough. - Towards center.
The center fielder catches it coming down.
The runner on third base tags up and comes home.
The runner on third base come all the way home.
- Nice. - Sacrifice fly.
Nice.
KIM JAE HO's sacrifice RBI.
- He exchanges an out with a run. - You did the hard thing.
- You saw it the best. - You did the hard thing.
I thought it was slightly shallow,
because the center fielder went back at first.
As this fell more to the front than anticipated,
I thought it would easily be challenged at home.
Because the runner on third base was JEONG SEONG HOON.
- However, the center fielder rather challenged second base. - That he did.
Score 1:0, the first run goes to the Flame Fighters.
- Min Hyuk, I said fight. - Alright.
Your pitch is good.
Fighting, thank you for your efforts.
- He didn't throw to home? Why? - I don't know.
You're fast.
- You run fast. - Okay.
Thank you for your efforts.
Hit it deep for once.
- Nice. - Nice.
SEONG HOON runs with a lot of effort.
And it's the at-bat of JEONG KEUN WOO, the Busan High alumni.
- He makes contact. - That's it.
It ends up going right to the shortstop.
Like that, it's 3 outs.
Tell them to attack aggressively.
Was that a breaking ball just now?
- What? - Now.
- It seemed like a fastball now? - No, it's not a fastball?
I just let go a little bit now?
- I'll go. - Yeah.
KIM JAE HO, damn.
The Fighters made the go-ahead run.
Now we go on to Busan High's offense in the top of the third inning.
It's kind of disappointing?
That it is.
Why are there so many good players in Busan?
- The kids are good, but it's a bit better that a 10th grader is like that. - I know, right.
He'll be good.
Look.
Everyone has too many thoughts, when now's the chance.
It's square one even if you can't hit it.
You are playing the seniors, you get what I'm saying?
- Go aggressively, alright? - Yes!
Let's go.
Get 1 run.
See wide.
- Fighting, let's go. - Ay!
In the last inning, SHIN JAE YOUNG
saved the inning from 1 out, bases loaded with no runs allowed.
Before today's match, SHIN JAE YOUNG was recording an ERA of 2.70.
If he gets into the regulation innings without issues now,
he will be keeping his place in second behind RHEE DAE EUN in terms of ERA.
He was to complete this inning.
- Is that so? - Yes.
It's starting now.
The score is 1:0.
It's not a gap to feel easy about.
Let's get the leadoff batter and go.
Now, the batting order has gone full circle,
and the number 1 hitter Ha Hyun Jin is up to bat again.
Hyun Jin, go.
Aim for the first pitch.
Hit aggressively, swing.
Don't wait.
First pitch is a strike on the outside.
- Okay. - Nice ball.
That slider is good.
It comes in just like this on the outside.
The ball completely dances.
- Let's go with another slider. - That's what I'm saying.
- Another? - Another.
In front.
It's foul.
Oh dear.
The kids hit well. From number 1 to 4, they hit well.
- Their bodies don't pull out. - Yeah, they don't.
- The fact that a 10th grader is playing like that itself. - I know, right.
- Hyun Jin, doing good. - Hyun Jin.
No balls, 2 strikes.
One strike remaining.
But now here,
is he doing changeup?
Should we do a changeup?
Changeup here.
That's right!
Low pitch, swings and misses for the strikeout.
Facing three batters, SHIN JAE YOUNG has 2 strikeouts.
Good changeup.
JAE YOUNG's pitching is insane.
Just until the seventh inning...
We would have won the championship if he came to throw in the final.
He is from Dankook University.
SHIN JAE YOUNG can pitch well like this.
Last Monday, SHIN JAE YOUNG's first pitching appearance was aired.
So the students don't know well yet.
How SHIN JAE YOUNG is these days,
they don't know yet.
We are thankful for that.
Hyun Jin, what did he throw?
Slider, changeup.
Hyun Jin, how was the changeup?
The changeup was almost from a different country.
What's the payoff pitch?
The payoff pitch is almost a changeup.
It was a changeup just now.
The number 2 hitter, Suh Sung Bin.
Heave-ho, and slider.
He's very well-planned.
This time he'll go heave-ho and a fastball.
Look.
On the outside, swing and miss.
A fastball at 137km/h.
137km/h.
Looks like he'll hit 140km/h?
- The swing doesn't catch up? - Nice ball.
The timing is off.
It's entertaining now.
The students didn't know that recently
SHIN JAE YOUNG has changed like this.
He's hero-swinging.
Good swing.
What's good about it, it didn't hit the ball.
- Is it a strike? - Yeah.
Sung Bin, do it.
Low pitch, makes a ground ball.
JEONG KEUN WOO catches it and it's runner on first base with 2 outs.
I mean, we throws so comfortably like this?
Then if we gets the out here,
- he'll become second in ERA? - That's right.
Have to be careful of this friend, he hits well.
Up to bat is the number 3 batter, Lee Suh Joon.
Thank you for your efforts.
Suh Joon.
Let's go, Suh Joon.
Let's go, Lee Suh Joon.
First pitch is a ball.
Okay, good eye.
There is a kind of stability.
Watching the ball.
The bat comes out and stops.
He has good plate discipline.
- Okay. - Good eye.
Suh Joon, that's good.
Good.
Suh Joon, do it.
Suh Joon!
He holds back another time.
Good eye.
He's not hitting.
Now, against the number 3 batter Lee Suh Joon,
SHIN JAE YOUNG's temptations are not working.
Get on base.
Suh Joon.
3 ball count.
Loosen up.
Contest it, don't get scared.
- Good ball, he can't even hit the fastball. - 2 outs, 2 outs.
It's ball four.
It's a ball?
SHIN JAE YOUNG's walk is
the first walk allowed this season.
Oh, it's the first walk allowed.
He's walking, Lee Suh Joon.
A walk on 2 outs, this isn't it.
Who should we prepare as the third?
- HEE KWAN. - HEE KWAN?
- Does he know? - Yeah.
Now, the batting order leads to Choi Min Je.
Thank you for your efforts.
He's the scariest.
The man with the tight lower body.
Tight lower guy Choi Min Je.
The one who made the team's first base hit in the last at-bat,
it has come to Choi Min Je.
Loosen up, JAE YOUNG.
Don't let go.
Still one out remaining.
He turns on it sharply.
What are you saying? It hit the end.
It flies high to the right side.
The right fielder CHOI SOO HYUN takes care of it, and that's 3 outs.
Achieves regulation innings.
It's the pitcher with the second ranked ERA in the team, SHIN JAE YOUNG.
Good, nice ball.
- That's good, nice ball. - Nice ball.
The stuff is alive.
The pitch is not 137km/h, in my view.
Some water for me... is there water?
SHIN JAE YOUNG showed good pitching
to keep protecting the one point lead.
The pitcher has changed again.
That it is.
Jin Wook, don't think about our form.
Just do our thing, alright?
Don't try to do something yourself.
Just use 100% of your 100%.
- Don't try to use 120% out of your 100%. - Yes.
- Got it, Jin Wook? - Yes.
- You can do it? - Yes.
The pitcher has been replaced to Kim Jin Wook.
Kim Jin Wook, he's an 11th grade pitcher.
He throws a fastball, curve, and slider.
They say this fastball has some natural movement.
Is that so, that means there is a lot of movement at the end of the pitch.
Jin Wook, go low.
Now the match is in the bottom of the third inning.
- It will progress with the Flame Fighters' offense. - Thank you for your efforts.
The leadoff hitter CHOI SOO HYUN, and leads to PARK YONG TAIK and LEE DAE HO.
- PARK YONG TAIK's recent feel is extremely good. - Extremely good.
- Set it up for the number 3, 4. - It has to get going so that...
It should get going smoothly.
Let's go.
Let's go, Jin Wook.
Fastball at 141km/h.
The pitch is good today.
It's the day.
It's alright.
Let's go.
It's deep inside.
Good, nice ball.
Good.
Loosen up.
The pitch comes low.
Okay.
Pitcher, put it in.
You put it in, they can't hit it.
Middle.
He's considered a player with good control,
- but I sense tension. - That's right.
There is a lot of tension.
- Okay. - Okay.
Oh my...
He's impatient.
If he can't contest up front, then
now it's Sajik TAIK,
- and the legend LEE DAE HO. - Of course.
But this Sajik Stadium's match today,
because the 23,000 seats are all filled,
- he must be shaking. - Loosen up.
Let's go for 100% on-base percentage.
- He's tensing up a lot. - He's shaking, it's ball four.
- Okay. - That's it.
CHOI SOO HYUN has gotten on base on balls two at-bats in a row.
This is the first time Busan High's mound has let the leadoff batter get on base.
The pitchers have no control, huh.
Do Won.
- Do Won, you don't have to hurry, but you have to be fully ready, got it? - Yes.
- You're done? - I'm done.
Now it's a big problem, why?
- PARK YONG TAIK and LEE DAE HO are coming out. - That's right.
Get it in, get hit.
- PARK YONG TAIK! - PARK YONG TAIK!
- Thank you for your efforts. - Good effort.
Wait.
He has no thought of hitting.
Let's go, captain.
Please, let's go.
Let's go!
Jin Wook, slowly.
He pulls it foul on the first base line.
Hey, captain.
Direction!
He took a slightly bigger swing.
And on a day like today where the MVP ward money is big,
- this player has his eyes open wider. - That's true.
Today, who will eat the 3 million from Kakaopay.
Let's go, captain.
Recording 3 base hits in the last match,
it's PARK YONG TAIK with a recently improved batting feel.
He turns on it sharply.
It becomes a base hit between first and second base.
The ball goes right past in front of CHOI SOO HYUN.
Three!
PARK YONG TAIK's base hit, it's no outs, runners on first and second.
Okay.
That's it.
He hits really well.
It came in well
high and inside,
but with a really compact swing, he turns it into a base hit.
If this ball hit the runner, the runner is ruled out,
so CHOI SOO HYUN had to start by avoiding the ball,
forcing him to stop at second base.
PARK YONG TAIK's red-hot batting form,
especially the majesty of Sajik TAIK is amazing.
With this base hit, he made a golden chance
for LEE DAE HO now.
- DAE HO. - DAE HO.
And now, there is a chance in front of LEE DAE HO.
- Did LEE DAE HO hit with that bat for his first at-bat? - Yes.
Send one over, it's Sajik.
Tell the shortstop to get back.
- Shortstop! - Shortstop!
Get first base back too.
Close double, alright!
LEE DAE HO up to hit.
Let's go.
Hit again.
- He makes contact on the first pitch. - That's it!
Base hit between third and short.
Okay!
Turn.
CHOI SOO HYUN has to get in!
- CHOI SOO HYUN with quick feet rounds third base. - You have to go here!
Home!
- Huh? - He couldn't get it.
CHOI SOO HYUN gets back again.
What's he doing?
- Why didn't he go? - Why didn't he go?
Why didn't he go?
Why did he stop, he sent him around?
- You didn't step on it, didn't you? - I couldn't step on the base.
Will you get it together.
Nice back.
The ball just came in.
Shame.
He should have gotten in.
Because the hit was shallow,
he was sent around on the decision that he can get to home from second with ease.
But CHOI SOO HYUN stopped by himself.
CHOI SOO HYUN stopped.
Seeing the ball come in,
CHOI SOO HYUN made the decision to stop.
What.
He didn't step on the base.
- He didn't step on the base. - Ah...
- If the manager was here, that guy's dead. - That's what I'm saying.
However, it's still fine because it's no outs now.
Forward.
Forward...
- Thank you for your efforts. - Thank you for your efforts.
Up to bat is JUNG EUI YOON.
The chance goes to JUNG EUI YOON.
He's here, JUNG EUI YOON.
He's here, number 5!
It's JUNG EUI YOON with a slight drop in hitting pace recently.
Show us the alumni charm.
- Yeah, teach them a lesson. - Grand slam homer?
The juniors.
First pitch, ball on the outside.
You can get hit.
Jin Wook, you can get hit!
That startled me.
- You can get hit! - That startled me.
Focus, JUNG EUI YOON!
You have to hit.
Jin Wook, slowly.
The ball bounced.
Stop!
However, CHOI SOO HYUN is unable to get in.
He's not coming in?
Now, manager Park Gye Won sent this player out to kind of
get them here for certain.
But they are in big danger now.
No outs, bases are loaded.
On third base is CHOI SOO HYUN, on second base is PARK YONG TAIK,
and on first base is LEE DAE HO.
Because it's 2 balls, the swing will be the biggest.
Look for yours.
Focus, just once.
Don't get greedy, hit what's coming in.
You can't get greedy.
Don't worry about overseas stock,
ask!
To Kakaopay Securities.
Gathers on their own,
connects information,
and tells you properly.
Ask Kakaopay Securities about overseas stock.
Kakaopay Securities.
Don't get greedy, just hit what comes in.
You can't get greedy.
It's a ball on the outside.
That's it.
The control isn't working.
Will the man who was once
the strong number 5 batter Rose JUNG
be able to make that flower live again.
There's no three.
You can get hit.
It gets away. A bases-loaded walk.
Look!
It's a ball...
Nice.
- Thank you for your efforts. - Did you go without stepping on the base.
Let's just end it with a cold game.
- SOO HYUN. - Good eye.
You did that on purpose to not give DAE HO an RBI, right?
- No, but would I have lived if I came in? - You would have lived.
This inning, we are making a great chance.
In the end, they replace the pitcher.
Even the third pitcher as well
is getting overpowered by the Fighters.
Kim Jin Wook found
it hard to get through in the end.
You should have put it in.
Good effort.
Don't want to get hit?
- This was all for Kim Jin Wook. - Hey, Dae Ho.
They are changing again.
The pitcher, they...
have pitchers to keep changing to?
They must have a lot of pitchers.
They keep coming out.
- Don't give them a walk, compete. - Yes.
You can get hit, do it with confidence.
- In the middle. - Yes, you jerk.
- Throw calmly. - Yes.
Up to the mound is 11th grade pitcher, Kim Do Won.
Some say he is a player with good control of his fastball and breaking balls,
but since today is really a special occasion.
Joo Young.
Busan!
Do Won!
Let's go, Do Won.
The no out, bases loaded chance continues.
Up to bat is JEONG SEONG HOON.
Let's go, SEONG HOON.
Let's go, big inning.
Look for the first pitch of the replaced pitcher!
Think there are no runners.
Do everything you want.
Jin Wook, ah, I said Jin Wook.
Do it.
First pitch contact, it's foul.
The timing is good.
Nice timing.
JEONG SEONG HOON had something he was looking for going in,
but this became a mishit ball.
It's very good that he knew that he was looking and he still went in for the first pitch count fight.
- He lost it again. - The foul ball goes behind yet again.
- Okay. - Good!
- Good. - Kim Do Won!
Doing good!
- Slider. - Why doesn't this go forward.
Because it's thrown in three-quarters,
the slider slightly floats up once like this.
- That's why the timing seems to match but it didn't. - Is that so.
Like that, two pitches in succession got caught on the top of JEONG SEONG HOON's bat.
But the worry is that when it doesn't float up and sinks down low,
that will be hard for JEONG SEONG HOON.
If this slider gets in, it's extremely dangerous.
He hits a ground ball.
Okay, two.
- That's it. - No.
He hits a ground ball.
The second baseman picks it up, to the shortstop,
and on to first base.
A 4-6-3 double play.
Good.
Meanwhile, the runner on third
PARK YONG TAIK scores, and the score is 3:0.
1 run, okay.
Got 1 run.
- Alright, one came in. - Shame.
Captain.
Okay.
PARK YONG TAIK's run scored.
The score becomes 3:0.
Anyway, since it was JEONG SEONG HOON that was at-bat,
it is very disappointing to end on this double play.
Even if a run was scored.
And in the perspective of manager Park Gye Won, from the worst situation
- he created the best outcome, that's how I want to view it. - That it is.
Do Won, loosen up more.
Nice ball.
- 2 outs. - Nice.
2 outs.
Now up to bat is LEE TAEK KEUN.
Let's go, TAEK KEUN.
Of course, 3:0 feels like there is some breathing room,
but the match is only in the 3rd inning.
I wish that we make a big inning when we can.
We have no choice but to do so.
- Because we don't know what's going to happen when. - Of course.
Just one more run.
Let's go.
Let's just get one more run.
Do Won.
It's a strike on the inside.
Nice ball.
Good ball.
On the mound today,
pitchers mostly have had trouble contesting,
- but he is throwing with courage. - That's it, that is what looks good right now.
It's in the strike zone again.
The ball kind of curls inside.
Of the Busan High pitchers who got on the mound today,
- this Kim Do Yun catches the eye the most. - That's right.
He is worthy of praise, he has a lot of strikes.
Why is his pitching so good?
- Why are you saying he's good because he's your junior. - It really is good though.
Isn't it different?
- What's different. - He is good?
Just because it's your alma mater.
Whoa...
Please, you can do this.
LEE TAEK KEUN on the count disadvantage.
Let's get a strikeout.
Do Won, do it.
Let's go.
Just until the runner on third base.
Good feel, you can do it.
You can do it, please.
It's low, LEE TAEK KEUN holds back.
- Good job holding back. - He held back on that!
- Whoa. - Nice looking.
He doesn't hit at that.
LEE TAEK KEUN holds back on that.
I thought he only axed, but he can step as well.
Good eye, TAEK KEUN.
1 ball, 2 strikes.
The bat has gotten really better recently for LEE TAEK KEUN.
- That's it. - He clears it.
- The ball is to the left. - Back.
- To the wall!
To the wall, it hits the wall.
That's it!
The runner on third base LEE DAE HO comes home leisurely.
LEE TAEK KEUN gets to second base.
Three.
- Three! - Three!
1 RBI hit, LEE TAEK KEUN.
- LEE TAEK KEUN! - LEE TAEK KEUN!
I just hit it like bop, and it goes there.
It went really far.
He hits well.
This is actually the case.
At no outs, bases loaded, we only score a little run.
It would have been a bit disappointing.
However, with this extra base hit from LEE TAEK KEUN,
he brings home LEE DAE HO
- to make a more relaxing situation. - That's right.
The Flame Fighters make a big inning this way.
And it's LEE TAEK KEUN.
Woah, hey...
We got it going.
- Okay. - Nice.
The balance is killing it.
- Woah. - Nice.
Okay, nice.
It's coming out.
- Thank you for your efforts. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Good.
Runner still in scoring position.
And up to bat is PARK JAE WOOK.
PARK JAE WOOK's contact on the first pitch.
The third baseman comes down and takes care of it.
Like that, 3 outs.
With the 1 RBI hit from LEE TAEK KEUN,
the Flame Fighters make a big inning to go ahead.
How can he survive that.
He's going to buy chicken.
It hit the end.
The ball kind of curls in like this, right?
- The breaking ball is not easy to catch. - Right?
- It hit the fence on one bounce? - Yeah.
Should we just end it on a cold game?
Cold.
Is it hard to focus?
To feel a better feeling, you have to make the effort to win.
Hit aggressively from the get-go.
- If it's similar, you all come out and throw, got it? - Yes!
Let's go.
- Fighting, let's go. - Ay!
- It's not over yet. - 1 run at a time.
He makes contact on the first pitch.
It drops in front of the center fielder.
It's hit well.
The ball is to the left, it's a base hit inside the line.
The hitter runner, the runner on first and second all run.
The ball is sent to home plate.
- Run! - At home!
It's called safe.
What are you doing!
Guys!
The atmosphere of the stadium has completely changed.
Just one.
- You can't back down, especially in times like this. - Let's go, Sajik TAIK.
They have to make more runs.
He pulls it through between first and second!
He pulls it.
He makes contact. It drops cleanly in left center field.
Ah, a slugfest.
Winning by scoring more runs is baseball.
Today is the day to run away and chase to win.
There is only that way left.
He has to think of the big one.
- DAE HO. - DAE HO.
He needs to show the image that everyone wants.
- He's here, it's here. - Home run, let's go!
Send it over!
- Good. - Fight!
He sends it rocketing!
This ball is headed to the wall!
It goes over the fence!
LEE DAE HO's two run blast.
- LEE DAE HO. - LEE DAE HO.
