Focus!
SOO-CHANG IS UNSTABLE FROM THE START
I WAS DRAWING A BLANK
I HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
MIRACLE'S ENDLESS ATTACK
The runner runs at the first pitch.
Yoon Jun-h* throws it to second base.
MIRACLE DOESN'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY

I'M GOING TO HIT TODAY

SOO-HYUN IS THE BEST

WE CAN'T FINISH LIKE THIS
THE MONSTERS CATCH UP
WITHOUT HESITATION
Good job!
IT'S A BIG HIT!
-It's going!
-It's high.
It goes behind the center fielder.
Toward the fence.
It hits the fence and falls.
MIRACLE 2 : 4 MONSTERS
THE MONSTERS TURN THE TABLES AROUND
WE CAN'T LOSE
He hits the second pitch.
It flies center-left.
WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN
-It falls behind the right fielder.
-Three!
MIRACLE ISN'T AN EASY OPPONENT
THIS IS IT
HE HITS AGAIN!
It flies left.
DON'T STOP
MIRACLE CATCHES UP TENACIOUSLY
The ball is thrown to third base.
MIRACLE 3 : 4 MONSTERS
MIRACLE IS CLOSE TO CATCHING UP
TO THE MONSTERS
Yeoncheon Miracle is catching up.
WHO WILL BE THE WINNER
OF THIS CLOSE GAME?
One out. A runner on first base.
Two. Let's go.
Lee Seung-woo is at bat.
POWERFUL BATTER 6 LEE SEUNG-WOO
Go, Lee Seung-woo!
I'll stop him.
I MUST
-Okay!
-Strike on the lower left.
GOOD
It's not a ball.
DISTRESSED
As I mentioned earlier,
he's powerful,
so we need to watch out for him.
I CAN'T LET ANY MORE PLAYERS GET ON BASE
HE HITS!
He hits. It goes to the center.
GOSH…
No.
It goes behind the center fielder.
It goes toward the fence,
hits the fence, and falls.
GOOD!
-Run!
-Go!
THE RUNNER MAKES A DASH
KEUN-WOO: HOME!
HYUN-IN LOSES THE BALL
Choi Soo-hyun passes the third base.
And he returns home too.
Good job!
THE MIRACLE CATCHES UP
TO THE MONSTERS
A timely hit for a tie,
it's batter six, Lee Seung-woo.
SEUNG-WOO HITS A TIMELY HIT FOR A TIE
That's our ace!
Well done.
He's a good batter.
The score is four to four.
Yeoncheon Miracle
turns the game tight once again.
These independent teams were
recruited by professional teams,
so they are clearly strong.
I'm out of battery.
I know I can throw well
when I'm doing short innings,
just one or two of them.
But I began to lose my focus
when it was prolonged.
One out, a runner on second.
1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 2ND
Jeon Tae-joon is at bat.
BATTER 7, JEON TAE-JOON
He continues to face the danger of loss.
Two outs left.
MIRACLE CAN TURN THE TABLES AROUND
WITH A HIT
The first pitch, a ball on the edge.
Man, this is… After seven, eight,
it's one, two, three, left-handed batters.
RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER,
DAE-EUN IS WARMING UP
All right.
He needs to throw to the fifth.
Yes.
LEFT-HANDED PITCHER, JU-WON,
MUST STOP THIS INNING
The second pitch.
STRIKE
GOOD!
Good pitch.
He threw a slider.
-One and one.
-Let's go.
He swings and misses.
THAT'S IT
You have to keep going.
The count is one and two.
WILL JU-WON IN A CRISIS
SAVE HIS TEAM ONCE AGAIN?
-Strike!
-Coming in at the edge.
Swings and misses, strikeout. Two outs.
HE NEATLY DELETES THE BATTER
AS EXPECTED OF OH JU-WON
That was great.
Nice pitch!
Oh Ju-won used to pitch
so that it barely made the box.
But this time, he lures them
by making it look like a ball.
CURRENT BATTER'S BOX
This is why he's experienced.
I see.
-Good!
-Good, Ju-won!
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
Now, batter eight, Lee Chung-hyun.
Let's go!
On the first pitch, he swings.
-Okay.
-Nice pitch. Good.
The last one. Focus!
I didn't want to lose a point,
so I kept pitching
more and more difficult pitches.
I kept the inning going as such.
HE HITS!
It flies out. The third baseman catches.
Back to first base.
Out from the first. Great throw.
Lee Hong-ku catches. The inning ends.
3 OUTS
-Nice.
-Yes, Hong-ku!
-My gosh.
-Hong-ku.
RELIEVED…
You can't throw it like this.
It was so close that I made a mistake.
The inning comes to an end.
But the Monsters allowed them to tie.
The game begins once again.
Get together.
We got together and scored a point.
-Gather round.
-Okay.
-Let's keep scoring.
-Join in.
One point at a time.
-One, two, three!
-Go!
The game is tight.
MIRACLE TAKES OUT ITS VICTORY CARD
MIRACLE'S VICTORY CARD IS
ABOUT TO PLAY
Here he comes.
Change pitchers.
CHANGE PITCHERS
Won-sam, call Dae-eun.
-Now?
-Yes.
-Tell him there's cleaning time.
-Yes, sir.
We have to score a point.
We have no more pitchers.
-We have only three pitchers.
-Batters.
Batters have to do their job!
It's the bottom of the fifth inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.
The pitcher is Keum Yu-seong.
His name was Keum Min-cheol before.
He threw over 800 innings in the KBO.
He's here to face the Monsters.
He's the strongest pitcher
the Monsters have faced.
-Right. Natural cutters.
-Yes.
He threw cutters close
to the body of the right-handed batter.
I remember.
None of his fastballs
go straight, not even one.
-Right.
-Yes.
None of his pitches are clean.
Not just clean.
Consider all of them sliders.
His ba*ls aren't going to be easy.
YU-SEONG'S ba*ls WON'T BE EASY
THE FIRST BATTER MOON-h* IS AT BAT
PITCHING AGAIN AT GOCHEOK IN 4 YEARS
WHAT WILL HE THROW FIRST?
STRIKE
The first pitch is a strike.
You can't hit it easily.
-Fastball, right?
-They're all fastballs.
His pitching is still good.
YU-SEONG STILL PITCHES POWERFULLY
It's low. One and one.
The catcher's mitt follows
the ball in a haste.
That means the ball has movements.
He throws difficult ba*ls.
2 ba*ls
It's a nice ball!
That was a fastball too.
-Was it a fastball?
-Yes.
Did he put a spell on the ball?
-Let's go!
-Okay!
Get on base!
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Okay.
-It came in close.
Moon-h* held back on picky ba*ls.
That's it.
All right.
Get on base!
The first batter Kim Moon-h* is at bat.
FOUR ba*ls
Good job!
Four ba*ls to the first batter.
NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Let's go for a double play!
-I'll throw a deep one.
-Okay.
-Don't go after a deep one.
-Okay.
-They're all hit-by-pitch.
-Okay.
Okay. Defense, double play!
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
Yoon Jun-h* is at bat.
HE HITS!
Catch it!
That's it!
NO DOUBLE PLAY!
-It's a hit.
-Catch it!
Third baseman catches it. To second base.
To first base.
THAT'S IT!
You shouldn't hit that way.
This was a pitch by Keum Yu-seong
who used to be Keum Min-cheol.
This is the characteristic
of a pitcher who throws cutters.
Left-handed pitcher Keum Yu-seong's pitch
is more powerful to right-handed batters.
I shouldn't have hit it.
Today the Monsters haven't
finished the inning
with only three batters.
No innings were done
with only three batters.
No.
After a double play, we have
Jeong Keun-woo who got on base every time.
When Keum Min-cheol starts
getting ground ba*ls,
-he excels that day.
-Right.
HE HITS!
It goes center-left.
-Left and center fielders.
-Okay.
Left fielder.
Center fielder takes care of it.
Jeez.
For the first time today,
the Monsters finish their attack
with three batters.
Keum Yu-seong
was the one who made it happen.
This is fun. It's a tie at four to four.
Exactly. I lost track of the time.
-Right? Time flies.
-Yes.
It's the top of the sixth inning.
Yeoncheon Miracle will be at bat.
I used too much strength in the bullpen.
MANAGER LEE: WHY?
Manager Lee chose
Rhee Dae-eun.
Yes. This is a very critical moment.
The score is tied.
Now the game is headed to the latter half.
Dae-eun has the fastest pitching speed
among the Monsters.
The problem is his control. We need to see
his condition today.
I didn't get to take deep breaths.
Take it slow.
-The umpire isn't out yet.
-Okay.
Dae-eun can't catch his breath.
-Why not?
-Why is he having a hard time?
DAE-EUN DOESN'T LOOK GOOD
I thought, "Why am I so tired?"
I was a little nervous.
I'm really getting tired. I'm worn out.
It's like KBO.
A BREATHTAKINGLY FIERCE GAME
Yeoncheon Miracle is at bat.
The top of the sixth inning.
Batter nine Lee Sang-min is at bat first.
The score is tied at four to four.
They're neck and neck.
Rhee Dae-eun is pitching.
The first pitch is an outside fastball.
-Okay.
-That's it.
THAT'S IT
-Why is it so slow?
-It's 12km/h slower.
He said he was tired after warming up.
He couldn't catch his breath.
DAE-EUN, NO…
It's 10km/h slower.
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
HE HITS!
Hey, what's going on?
He pulls. Third baseman catches it!
He pulls. Third baseman catches it!
He gets up and throws it to first base.
He's out on first base.
1 OUT
-Yes.
-He's a genius.
THIS IS CRAZY
-Nice.
-Awesome.
NICE PLAY
That was perfect.
He k*lled it.
IS THIS POSSIBLE?
That was crazy.
What?
-I got it for you. Keep it up.
-Awesome. Thank you.
Watch.
This makes up for his mistake earlier.
He had moved up to stand closer.
Right.
A SELFLESS GREAT CATCH
It hurts.
A SELFLESS GREAT CATCH
We won today. That did it.
We won because of that.
Batter one Park Yeong-bin is at bat.
Let's go!
Park Yeong-bin!
WE CAN'T LET THE MONSTERS
GAIN MOMENTUM
He bunts.
PARK YEONG-BIN'S SURPRISE BUNT
PERFECT BUNT
He bunts.
Third baseman throws it to first base.
The batter is out on first base again.
WHAT'S WITH HIM TODAY?
-Awesome.
-Okay!
Family is best!
Dad, good luck!
What's wrong with Jeong Seong-hoon?
GONE MAD
Seong-hoon read him.
He dashed forward pretty fast.
You ripped it.
SEUNG-HOON'S GREAT DEFENSE
He didn't hesitate, not even for a second.
He got an out easily.
He got two outs
with a minimal number of pitches.
He got two outs with three throws.
I…
You would've thrown
one and a half ba*ls by now.
Probably.
Jeez.
DAE-EUN IS SLOWLY BECOMING STABLE
Batter two Cha Hong-min is at bat.
Yes.
BALL
Good eye.
-No rush.
-Let's go!
I CAN'T FINISH LIKE THIS
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
Yeoncheon Miracle, let's go!
Let's go!
HE HITS!
He pushes. Shortstop catches it.
To first base. He's out on first base.
Five pitches. Thank you.
-Good job.
-Okay.
Dae-eun needed
only five throws
in the top of the sixth inning.
Three outs. Moving on
to the bottom of the sixth inning.
Dae-eun, where did you leave the speed?
TWO-SEAM!
I got them with two-seam.
I don't know how I did it.
SEONG-HOON HELPED DAE-EUN
WITH HIS PERFECT DEFENSE
How did I do it?
SEONG-HOON'S UNBELIEVABLE DEFENSE
He caught it.
If they switch quickly like this
and score points, they'll gain momentum.
Dae-eun has to keep throwing.
-Only five throws.
-Right.
It's not easy to play like this
once you retire.
Let's hit one. I'm getting angry.
The Monsters will bat
in the bottom of the sixth inning.
The first batter is Lee Taek-keun.
Keum Yu-seong is still pitching.
Min-cheol has to stop pitching
if we want to win.
-What?
-He has to stop pitching.
-Right.
-We can't hit his ba*ls.
Oh Ju-won and Lee Taek-keun
played with Keum Yu-seong
-when they were the Heroes.
-That's right.
TAEK-KEUN AND YU-SEONG
WERE THE HEROES ONCE
Ex-teammates are
now facing each other
wearing different uniforms.
FACING EACH OTHER
IN DIFFERENT UNIFORMS
He watches the first pitch.
It comes in close to the batter.
Why can't he control the ball?
We used to be on the same team,
so I couldn't throw strikes
because I felt uncomfortable.
Third pitch. It goes in deep. Three ba*ls.
All right!
-Okay.
-Hit it!
Wait for it.
Close your eyes.
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
Jeez.
The batter gets on base on ba*ls.
First batter. Four ba*ls.
Lee Taek-keun,
the first batter, gets on base.
GOOD JOB ON GETTING ON BASE
-Good!
-You did it.
First batters of the fifth
and sixth innings got on base on ba*ls.
YU-SEONG LET
THE FIRST BATTER GET ON BASE
When I'm at bat,
-suddenly he'll throw breaking ba*ls.
-He'll throw well.
He'll throw from the sky.
He'll start with two strikes.
Keum Yu-seong said
he'd strike Park Yong-taek out
no matter what.
When they were playing in KBO,
they probably played
against each other many times.
They probably know each other well.
The one Yu-seong wanted to strike out
is at bat now.
YONG-TAEK MEETS HIS NATURAL ENEMY
YONG-TAEK HAD
A STRIKEOUT, GROUND BALL,
AND FLY BALL DURING THIS GAME
Park Yong-taek is the worst batter!
YONG-TAEK'S BAT HAS BEEN LETHARGIC
IT'S TIME, CAPTAIN…
Do it this time.
THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT
We have to score!
Lee Taek-keun is on first base.
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
The first pitch is a strike.
-Good job.
-Nice ball!
-He had to hit that.
-I know.
Okay. Yong-taek, bunt.
Please. I don't expect anything today.
-A sacrifice bunt?
-Yes.
-Let's not touch him.
-Okay.
BUNT? I'M PARK YONG-TAEK
Waiting for the second pitch.
He hits.
-Captain.
-Jeez.
He hits. It's a ground ball.
Second baseman gets up.
From second to first.
Another double play.
2 OUTS
Yong-taek is helping us.
This is driving me nuts.
4 AT BATS, 5 OUTS
STRIKEOUT, GROUND BALL, FLY BALL
YONG-TAEK EVEN GOT A DOUBLE PLAY
Jeez.
I was so stressed out.
I was going crazy.
What's wrong with me? It was stressful.
For two innings, there was a double play.
A DOUBLE PLAY AFTER A WALK
It's the same as the fifth inning.
-Four ba*ls.
-It's not good.
Four ba*ls and a double play.
Keum Yu-seong
isn't nervous
about the first batter getting on base
-because he can induce ground ba*ls.
-Right.
Now it's batter four Jung Eui-yoon.
Home run.
Eui-yoon, we need it today!
It's about time!
You have to hit it today!
Get ready quickly!
He had a hit.
-He had four ba*ls on his first at-bat.
-Right.
He hits. The ball hits him.
-Run!
-Fast!
-Okay!
-Take it slow!
He hits. The ball hits him.
He throws it to first base.
Out on first base.
NICE PITCHING
Good job.
It hurts.
Keum Yu-seong makes another double play.
He finishes the inning with three batters.
The score is still tied at four to four.
His ability to induce ground ba*ls…
I didn't expect
-a battle between the pitchers.
-Right.
I have a bad feeling.
It's already the seventh inning.
Now it's about scoring one point.
It's the top of the seventh inning.
Yeoncheon Miracle will be at bat.
Following Keum Yu-seong,
Rhee Dae-eun is
still pitching for the Monsters.
Why am I so tired?
SIGH
From the bottom of the fifth inning
to the sixth inning,
both teams haven't scored.
It's toward the end of the game,
so Dae-eun shouldn't lose
this pitching match.
Right.
You have to get the first batter!
Picky Hwang Yeong-muk is the first batter.
HWANG YEONG-MUK
Let's stop the top batters.
Jeez. He's crazy.
LAUGHING
That's it.
He pushes. Third baseman catches again.
HE CAUGHT IT AGAIN
He throws it to first base.
He's out on first base.
It's Jeong Seong-hoon again.
JEEZ…
WHAT'S UP WITH JEONG SEONG-HOON?
In the beginning, Jeong Keun-woo
took the lead in playing defense.
Yes.
Now, suddenly
Seong-hoon is taking the lead.
-He's using the second instant replay now.
-Yes.
SAFE!
-His foot was off.
-His foot!
Go ahead.
He's using the second instant replay now.
Yes, because it's the latter half
of the game and it's the first batter.
So he's giving it meaning.
-He's out.
-He's out.
Wasn't his foot off?
No, he caught it first.
It's out.
Hong-ku, it came off after, right?
I don't know.
You should know!
(STEALING A GLANCE)
Say you caught it first, you fool.
(WHISPERING)
LAUGHING
No swearing.
His foot came off.
Right. His foot came off.
CALL OVERTURNED
IT'S SAFE
-It's safe.
-We saw it right.
The call is overturned. It's safe.
NICE
Why is he so fast?
-He's fast.
-Yes.
You caught it really well.
-It was a successful instant replay.
-Yes.
It's recorded as an infield hit.
NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Batter four Kim Si-woo is at bat.
Yeoncheon Miracle's main batters
are at bat one after another.
MUST STOP THEM FROM GETTING ON BASE
STRIKE
Strike.
His pitching speed has decreased a lot.
His speed is the same as mine.
He isn't throwing at full speed.
Why is he throwing slowly?
Is he trying to control the ball?
Speed isn't important.
Just don't let them score.
HE HITS!
-It's a hit.
-He hits.
Second baseman catches it. To first base.
He's safe on first base!
You did it!
YOU DID IT! OKAY
IT'S A PARTY
Let's go!
There were two consecutive infield hits.
Instant replay, please.
REQUEST FOR INSTANT REPLAY
Manager Lee requests an instant replay.
Following Yeoncheon Miracle,
Manager Lee requests an instant replay.
What? Did they request an instant replay?
BUT IT'S A SAFE
I think it's an out.
Is it safe?
-Is it?
-I think so.
There was a big difference.
THE RUNNER GOT ON BASE FIRST
The result is safe.
With two infield hits, it's a crisis.
NO OUTS, RUNNERS
ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES
We have to win.
WITH A HIT,
THEY CAN TURN THE TABLES AROUND
Dae-eun, you can't throw 136km/h.
He can't.
He has to throw fast ones.
When runners were
on first and second bases,
I thought I needed to throw strikeouts.
I can't let the runners get on base.
I have to throw strikeouts.
STRIKEOUT IS THE ANSWER
Don't bat.
Rhee Dae-eun is facing Choi Soo-hyun here.
Let's go.
Dae-eun has two runners behind his back.
SWING!
-He bunted.
-Swing!
He was too slow.
-Yes.
-He swung.
That was wrong, punk.
THAT WAS WRONG, PUNK
You can hit anytime.
One more time, Dee Gordon.
Come on, Dee Gordon.
If you want to come back, do it again.
Outside. It's a foul.
FOUL
Two strikes.
Focus! Let's go!
Hit it!
-Don't come down easily!
-Focus!
Stop him. Double play.
I'LL STOP HIM NO MATTER WHAT
Outside. He swings and misses. Strikeout.
DAE-EUN THREW A FOUR-SEAM FASTBALL
Rhee Dae-eun
chose to throw a four-seam here.
THAT'S IT!
Outside at 143km/h.
That was the fastest pitch today
for both teams,
so he swung the bat.
He threw the fastball we needed
and struck out Choi Soo-hyun.
Yes, this is it.
That's it.
I knew Soo-hyun was on our team.
DIZZY
You can return in two days.
One out.
Runners on first and second bases.
He's against Lee Seung-woo now.
-He hit really well earlier.
-He was good.
Right?
I think it was him. Yes, he was good.
HE HITS!
It flies high.
It doesn't go far.
Second base runner gets ready to tag up.
Left fielder catches it.
Second base runner tags up.
He can't run. The runner stops.
He returns to first base.
That was dangerous.
Hyun-in was very quick.
Two outs.
Runners on first and second bases.
From no outs to two outs.
Runners on first and second bases.
We just have to stop him.
It's good to stop him here.
Let's go, Dae-eun! Two outs!
He swings and misses.
Don't let them hit.
If they don't score here,
we can turn the tables around.
Go all out.
Outside.
It's a strike this time.
Make contact.
-One more!
-If they don't score here,
we can turn the tables around.
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
Outside. Strikeout looking!
-Nice!
-That's it!
Not outs.
Runners on first and second bases.
-That was nothing to Dae-eun.
-That was good.
-Nice.
-That was Rhee Dae-eun.
He didn't let them score even one point.
-Hasn't he gotten better?
-Yes.
He really changed.
He talks to Sun-woo a lot.
GENUINELY IMPRESSED
He really changed.
(I'M PROUD OF HIM)
Nice.
-Nice pitching.
-Good.
-High five.
-Dae-eun.
That's what I'm talking about.
Good ball. You did it backward.
Forkball, slider, fastball.
(1 MORE INNING)
(OKAY!)
You threw a little over 20.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
You can throw until the 11th inning.
MANAGER LEE
All right.
An opportunity comes after a crisis.
AN OPPORTUNITY COMES AFTER A CRISIS
If we score in the bottom
of the seventh inning,
-we'll gain momentum.
-Yes.
Wait, they changed pitchers.
It's the bottom of the seventh inning.
The Monsters will bat.
They changed the pitcher to Im Hyeon-jun.
Keum Yu-seong threw 23 pitches,
and he was doing well.
I thought he'd throw more.
But Im Hyeon-jun got on the mound.
This could change today's game.
Im Hyeon-jun's on the pitcher's mound.
His fastest pitching speed is 142km/h.
Pitcher substitutions.
If you get on base,
I might order a bunt or a hit-and-run.
-Okay.
-Keep that in mind.
DEFENSE KING
JEONG SEONG-HOON GOES TO BAT
-Quick reflexes.
-Pardon?
-You have quick reflexes.
-The ball just came to me.
-Good luck.
-Okay.
All right. A two-base hit.
STRIKE
-The angle he throws.
-Yes.
This is a slider.
THAT WAS GOOD…
It was too ambitious.
SIGH…
OKAY
GRUNT!
STRIKE
GRUNT?
Outside. It's a strike.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.
IM HYEON-JUN THROWS A STRIKEOUT
THAT'S IT!
Yeongcheon Miracle's Keum Yu-seong
and Im Hyeon-jun are both solid pitchers.
Because Yu-seong was substituted
a little too soon,
I doubted Hyeon-jun.
He's a trustworthy weapon.
-Right.
-Yes.
The drop and the movement
of his slider are very good.
Also he's very good
at throwing to the outside corner.
Jeez. What am I doing?
Now it's batter six Ryu Hyun-in.
Let's see how he deals
-with left-handed batters.
-Yes, let's see.
BALL
Go.
(THINKING…)
2 ba*ls
-Suddenly he's losing control.
-He is.
There are pitchers like this.
It's hard to explain why,
but there are some pitchers
who loses control
depending on left or right-handed batters.
Hyun-in, we have to catch up.
UNDERSTOOD
Let's get on base, Hyun-in.
Look at this.
It's four ba*ls.
-Okay.
-Nice one.
-Nice.
-Go.
-Be confident.
-He let left-handed batter
Ryu Hyun-in get on base on ba*ls.
1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
-Good eye.
-Yes.
Hong-ku!
NEXT IS
RIGHT-HANDED BATTER LEE HONG-KU
Hong-ku, rip it.
Outside. It's a strike.
His sliders go in perfectly
when the batter is right-handed.
Right.
RIGHT-HANDED BATTER k*ller
IM HYEON-JUN
FOUL
-So close.
-No.
SO CLOSE
STRIKEOUT LOOKING
He's running!
TRYING TO STEAL A BASE
Second base. He misses the ball.
He's safe on second base.
Batter six Ryu Hyun-in
gets on second base.
Two outs. A runner on second base.
2 OUTS, A RUNNER ON 2ND BASE
Moon-h*, let's hit one.
-Moon-h* has to hit one.
-Moon-h*, take care of it!
Don't come back.
Step on the home plate.
-He'll hit one.
-I have a good feeling.
Moon-h* is left-handed,
so it'll be interesting.
Let's see how Im Hyeon-jun plays.
Pitcher! He's the last batter.
This is the last one.
MIRACLE 4 : 4 MONSTERS
Just one point!
He hits.
He hits. Second baseman catches it.
CHA HONG-MIN'S NICE CATCH
He did it!
Run fast!
He catches it. To first base.
The runner is out on first base.
3 OUTS
-Hey!
-Jeez!
Seriously.
Moon-h* doesn't have a bang.
He hit a good one
for the defense to catch.
NICE PLAY!
-Nice play!
-Hey!
Second baseman
Cha Hong-min's monstrous defense
finishes the Monster's offense.
Okay.
IT'S A PARTY
Nice.
IT'S A PARTY
-Well done.
-It's okay.
SHOUTING
Jeez.
ANGRY
We'll hit one next time.
Hong-ku, play defense.
IT'S TIME TO PLAY DEFENSE AGAIN!
It's the top of the eighth inning.
The score became four to four
in the fifth inning.
The score is still the same.
It's the latter half of the game
and the score is tied.
The pitchers are throwing well
and the defense is great too.
-Right.
-It's neck and neck.
It's important for Dae-eun
to stop Yeoncheon Miracle
in the top of the eighth inning.
I MUST KEEP THIS BALANCE
-Let's go again.
-It's the first batter
Lee Chung-hyun is at bat.
Chung-hyun, let's go.
FIRST BATTER LEE CHUNG-HYUN
FOUL
He hits the first pitch.
It flies to the foul territory.
They hit the first pitch.
They're very aggressive.
-They're very aggressive.
-They are.
HE HITS!
He hits the second pitch.
It goes past the shortstop.
IT GOES SHARPLY PAST THE SHORTSTOP
It goes sharply.
-All right.
-Come on.
We'll score this time.
For the first time today,
Dae-eun's ball flies to the outfield.
THE FIRST BATTER GETS ON BASE
Jeez, it didn't go in.
No outs. A runner on first base.
NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Lee Sang-min is a fast runner.
-He hasn't gotten on base at all today.
-No.
Double play.
Dae-eun, go strong!
A GROUND BALL
-Okay.
-Double play.
IT'S A DOUBLE PLAY
He hits the second pitch.
Third baseman catches it.
To second base.
Then it goes to first base.
He's safe on first base.
Jeez, it didn't work. So close.
Jeez.
HEADACHE
We can't help it. This is all we can do.
This is our best.
Anyway, the first batter is out.
One out. A runner on first base.
(LOOK OVER THERE)
PARK YEONG-BIN HAS
IMPRESSIVE RECORDS
Let's stop this one.
We have to stop a long hit.
Eui-yoon,
don't give it to first base runner.
Okay.
I CAN'T LET ANY MORE RUNNERS
GET ON BASE
Stop this one.
Outside. Strike.
If a forkball goes in outward like that,
a left-handed batter can't hit it.
Right.
You need to be able to throw forkballs.
I WANT THAT FORKBALL
It's another outside strike.
Relax. The count is favorable to us.
Don't rush.
Throw a ball.
The count is favorable to Dae-eun.
The ball drops.
-He swings and misses. Strikeout.
-Okay.
Dae-eun makes two outs.
He watched the two previous pitches.
They were outward forkballs.
This time, it was a strikeout pitch.
He had to swing
because he saw the two previous pitches.
Right.
Only one out left.
Cha Hong-min is at bat.
HONG-MIN SHOWED GOOD DEFENSE
STRIKE
He couldn't catch the timing.
He pushes. It's a foul.
Good ball.
As Dae-eun's two-seams
and fastballs became perfect,
the process of getting two strikes
became really easy.
Today Dae-eun has good control,
plus he has great sequences.
FANTASTIC BATTERY
Dae-eun, go all out. Let's go.
WITH ONE STRIKE,
THE INNING WILL BE OVER
He swings and misses. Strikeout!
He swings and misses. Strikeout!
Dae-eun wins this fight!
He didn't let them score this inning,
not even one point.
Losing no points for three innings.
-That was Rhee Dae-eun.
-Okay.
-The forkball just now…
-It was great.
I thought it was a fastball
until it dropped.
PERFECT STRIKEOUT
WITH PERFECT FORKBALLS
That was crazy.
POP-EYED
ASTONISHED
-He became a really good pitcher.
-Yes.
-Dae-eun, good job.
-Well done.
-Nice pitching.
-Shall I throw more?
-What?
-We're tied. Is it okay?
You threw 30-something pitches.
You need to throw again in two days.
-Okay.
-Well done.
Hit a home run.
-Yong-taek, a winning home run.
-Let's go.
It's your ball.
It's perfect. It's yours.
There has been another substitution.
It's pitcher Son h*-jin.
He graduated from Konkuk University.
He joined Yeoncheon Miracle this year.
There's been a pitcher substitution.
He's like the ace of the team.
I think I saw 30 aces on A Clean Sweep.
I SAW 30 ACES ON A CLEAN SWEEP
He has the fastest pitching speed
in the Miracle.
STRIKE
SPEED 139KM/H
His ball is freaking fast.
It looks like he slipped on the mound.
-That was 139km/h.
-Yes.
He used to throw 150km/h.
He threw good ba*ls in the bullpen.
I threw 150km/h too.
LAUGHING
It's the bottom of the eighth inning.
It's important
for the first batter to get on base.
The score is tied at four to four.
The first batter is
Yoon Jun-h*.
HE HITS!
He hits. It goes left.
Left fielder.
-In front!
-In front!
-It comes down.
-Okay.
He caught it.
TOO BAD
-We need to stop them here.
-Stop them here.
Number one!
One out. No runner on base.
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
I MUST GET ON BASE
Stop him here.
STRIKE
A curve ball came in low.
A SPLITTER
Was it a splitter?
-Slider.
-Wasn't it a slider?
I think it was a slider.
He's showing that
he can throw a strike with a curve ball.
Yeoncheon Miracle
has a lot of good pitchers.
Right.
Outside. He swings and misses again.
THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE
TO MIRACLE
Awesome sliders today.
You can get on base. Get on base!
It's one out with no runners on base
for the Monsters,
but if Jeong Keun-woo gets on base,
they can gain momentum.
Don't be ambiguous.
STRIKE
It was a weak swing.
Strikeout. It's two outs.
TWO RUNNERS ARE GONE IN NO TIME
NICE BALL!
That slider drove in sharply
toward the batter.
He has a sure weapon.
It's nice.
-Keun-woo, was it a slider?
-It's a slider.
But it's confusing. It's like a fastball.
It drops late.
ONLY 1 OUT LEFT
-Now it's Lee Taek-keun.
-Yes.
Today is the 15th game of A Clean Sweep.
Out of 14 games, he had 13 hits.
Today he hasn't had a hit yet.
Only two walks.
He hits.
He hits. It's a hit toward the center.
-Hey!
-Okay.
AS EXPECTED!
Lee Taek-keun doesn't go quietly.
Right. He wouldn't.
CAPTAIN!
Now it's batter three,
Captain Park Yong-taek.
The previous three at-bats were nonsense.
I was so pathetic.
On the fourth at-bat,
when it was a double play,
I thought it was good timing.
He is at bat at the right time
to show something.
Here it is. Do it!
-Please do it!
-Do it!
-Go!
-Do it!
I think he can hit this one.
-I think he can do it.
-Please.
Lee Taek-keun is on base
and it's two outs.
The Monsters can
score even after two outs.
It's empty between first and second bases.
Just stay alive.
I'll make a long hit
to make you come home.
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
Outside. It's a ball.
-Hey, come on!
-Let's go!
It looks like Yong-taek
will have a hit here.
I feel like he'll do something.
Park Yong-taek's batting
is really important.
CAN THEY MAKE AN OPPORTUNITY
WHEN IT'S 2 OUTS?
He hits.
PENETRATING THE RIGHT FIELD
It goes past first base!
-Okay!
-Go!
RUN
-Go.
-Run.
A sharp hit.
Lee Taek-keun goes to second, third,
-and he keeps going!
-He can come in.
He keeps going!
Let's go!
GO!
Lee Taek-keun goes all the way
to the home plate!
MIRACLE 4 : 5 MONSTERS
CAPTAIN'S 3-BASE HIT
TURNS THE TABLES AROUND
WE TURNED THE TABLES AROUND!
Captain did it!
Park Yong-taek gets on third base.
That's our captain!
SURPRISED…
The Monsters' captain
finally makes the game five to four!
FORM IS TEMPORARY
CLASS IS PERMANENT
YONG-TAEK IS BACK
IT'S A PARTY
His batting has been so frustrating,
but he hit a three-base hit
when it was really needed.
Lee Taek-keun
makes the score five to four.
The Monster is ahead by one point!
The ball hit the base
and went outside the line.
Yes. Captain Park Yong-taek
took care of the problem in the end.
It's a standing three-base hit.
I'M THE CAPTAIN OF THE MONSTERS!
It's five to four.
The Monsters are ahead again.
Let's go, Monsters!
-Let's go!
-One more!
-Let's go, Monsters!
-Come on!
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
Eui-yoon, hit it. Let's finish this.
THE TRUSTWORTHY 4TH HITTER
Today's theme of the Monsters is
-it's not over until it's over.
-Right.
This inning was like that.
After two outs, they're scoring points.
Right.
They need more points.
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
He hits!
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
HE HITS!
He hits!
It's a clean center-left hit.
-Yes!
-Yes!
HE RIPPED IT!
Third base runner
Park Yong-taek reaches home plate.
CK Monsters' main batters
are making RBI one by one.
WE'RE THE BEST!
THEY'RE WRITING
ANOTHER MIRACULOUS DRAMA!
ADMIRATION
The Monsters are like real monsters.
How do they score points
all at once so often?
Gosh!
ROAR OF VICTORY
PARK YONG-TAEK IS BACK!
I was going to chuck him
if he couldn't hit.
He's the best at scoring
in the bottom of the eighth inning.
-He always does this.
-Exactly.
Two more points.
They needed that one point.
-It's six to four.
-Yes.
Let's stop here.
-Okay.
-Jae-hyeong will play. Good job.
Jae-hyeong will pitch.
That's it for Son h*-jin
SON h*-JIN LEAVE THE MOUND
Park Jae-hyeong is on the pitcher's mound.
The runner is on second base, right?
-He was with Hanwha Eagles.
-Yes.
He was a trainee.
Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched, WHIP.
He has the lowest WHIP.
Good. One at a time!
You can do it! You can stop them!
WE'LL STOP LOSING POINTS
Play defense! Let's finish!
Move up a little.
Let's move up. We have to stop them
from going to home plate.
Batter five Jeong Seong-hoon.
I'LL TRAMPLE OVER YOU!
A runner on second base.
Outside. One strike.
His pitch is quite powerful.
Hanwha Eagles and NC Dinos
are still watching him
and talking about him.
Some pitchers have speed plus power.
He hits.
SEONG-HOON IS MORE THAN POWERFUL
FOR HIS AGE
-Hey.
-What?
-He hit it.
-No, he didn't.
NO WAY, AGAIN?
Center fielder runs back.
But he can't catch the ball.
SCREAMING
HE IS MY HUSBAND!
-Batters three, four, five.
-Run fast!
The main batters
of the Monsters are expl*sive.
MIRACLE 4 : 7 MONSTERS
Okay.
You're a genius.
I'M A GENIUS
Another big inning.
The best team.
They're CK Monsters.
When a team scores more than three points,
we call it the big inning.
It's because
if you look at the probability,
scoring more than three points
in one inning,
it's less than four percent.
That's why we call it the big inning.
-Yes.
-Why do the Miracles
make big innings so often?
-You mean the Monsters.
-Yes, the Monsters.
Jeong Seong-hoon made a two-base hit.
It's seven to four. Three points.
THE MONSTERS ARE
STILL IN SCORING POSITION
Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.
-It is high. Left fielder goes after it.
-Left.
Left fielder Lee Seung-woo catches it.
Three outs.
After two outs, four batters
-made four hits and three points.
-Go stop them.
-Go stop them.
-The score is seven to four.
Let's score three points.
We can win in overtime.
-Let's go.
-We can do it.
-We can catch up.
-One last chance.
-Just once.
-Let's do it.
One, two, three!
LET'S GO FOR THE LAST ATTACK!
Shall we let Won-sam have a save?
-Shall we?
-Sure. It doesn't matter.
-Go when there's a runner on base.
-Okay.
THE TOP OF THE 9TH INNING
I feel all right. Trust me. I'm serious.
Okay.
MIRACLE 4 : 7 MONSTERS
It's the top of the ninth inning.
If the Monsters get three outs,
they will have eight consecutive wins.
The out count is in Won-sam's hands.
-Pitch for one inning.
-Okay.
-Have you had a save?
-Yes.
My arm is in its best condition ever.
Is it?
Let's get you a save.
Seung-jun says he doesn't have to pitch.
SPEED 124KM/H
-It's 124km/h.
-Jang Won-sam!
I'm going to k*ll them all today.
Nice pitching.
Seo Dong-wook is first baseman.
Let's go!
Let's do this. We're better.
The first batter is Hwang Yeong-muk.
Yeoncheon Miracle's
main batters are lined up.
He swings and misses the first pitch.
NICE!
Won-sam is back.
Won-sam is coming back
from his elbow injury.
-Outside again.
-Nice.
Okay!
-Good eye!
-Let's go!
His slider is 120km/h.
-Wasn't it a fastball?
-Slider.
He threw 125km/h during a warm-up.
Slider.
Hwang Yeong-muk had a good eye.
He threw a good one.
-That was Won-sam's symbolic pitch.
-Yes.
It's one and one.
He swings his bat.
STRIKE
He can't help
but swing at Won-sam's ba*ls.
They're similar ba*ls
and have similar trajectories.
-But the batters can't hit them.
-Nice ball.
Exactly.
Won-sam is back.
One and two.
The count is favorable to the pitcher.
He breathes in and throws the ball.
Jeez.
No!
-He did it!
-He did it!
It skips off the bat.
It goes over shortstop.
It falls in front of the center fielder.
Play until the end!
Yeoncheon Miracle is really tenacious.
That completely skipped off the bat.
I thought it was interesting
how he hit the low ball.
-He's good.
-I hear he's the best batter.
A lucky hit. The first batter got on base.
Yes.
Si-woo, let's go!
Batter four Kim Si-woo is at bat.
If another runner gets on base,
the Monsters can't relax.
-Of course not.
-Let's go!
-Okay.
-Left. Strike.
-It's 127km/h.
-Okay!
Make it 137km/h!
Go for 145km/h!
For right-handed batters,
Jang Won-sam was the best pitcher
in Korea in the 2010s.
-Of course.
-Close to the batter.
People think of Won-sam
as having excellent control.
BALL
Outside and low. It's a ball.
It's one and one.
Let's do it!
Let's go, Si-woo!
It's the third pitch by Jang Won-sam.
No outs, a runner on first base.
Three points apart.
Pitcher Jang Won-sam
is sweating b*ll*ts already.
It goes in very close to the batter.
It was too deep.
Won-sam, let's go!
Go for it!
Won-sam, please stop him.
Double play, please.
No four ba*ls.
-He must stop him.
-No four ba*ls.
-That's it.
-It didn't go in.
Four ba*ls.
-Hey!
-That's it.
That's it.
This is bad.
JEEZ… THIS IS BAD…
TWO RUNNERS GOT ON BASE
You can't predict baseball.
That's it!
SMILING
Let's go!
MIRACLE GAINS MOMENTUM
-Let's go!
-Let's get it!
No outs,
runners on first and second bases.
Baseball is unpredictable.
He just has to stop this one.
It's seven to four. Three points apart.
IT ISN'T OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER
-And…
-Yes.
Choi Soo-hyun is waiting.
Soo-hyun is at bat
in a situation like this.
-We can do it.
-Let's go, Soo-hyun!
-You can do it.
-Let's go!
Soo-hyun is on our team.
Stop the long hit!
OUTFIELDERS MOVE BACK
Soo-hyun used to be Won-sam's teammate,
but today he's different.
Soo-hyun is wearing
Yeoncheon Miracle's uniform.
Do it. Don't back off!
Please.
Please.
HE HITS!
-He pulls. First baseman catches it.
-He catches it.
Seo Dong-wook,
second base, then first base.
-Double play!
-Double!
OUT?
SAFE?
Jeez
-He pulls. First baseman catches it.
-He catches it.
Seo Dong-wook,
second base, then first base.
He's safe on first base.
SAFE
-Dong-wook!
-Nice!
Good job.
Why didn't it go through?
What was that?
Their defense is so good.
-Look at this. It was a sharp hit.
-Yes.
Dong-wook caught it, stood up,
-and threw it to second base.
-Right.
CLEAN DEFENSE STOPPED A LONG HIT
Dong-wook plays
the perfect defense as a first baseman.
Exactly.
Soo-hyun. You scared me.
Timeout.
MANAGER LEE VISITS THE MOUND
-Today's pitching was all right.
-Yes.
-It was.
-Was it?
-Yes.
-Yes.
-The result wasn't good, but you did well.
-Yes.
-I'm okay.
-Well done.
-Good work.
-You can go in.
Take care of it.
That was it for Jang Won-sam.
There are two out counts left.
Song Seung-jun is headed to the mound.
CLOSER SONG SEUNG-JUN
You guys are pretty good
at playing baseball.
-The infielders…
-The defense is crazy today.
Yes, today.
The defense opened its eyes.
Let's go.
-Let's play defense.
-Defense shift.
-Defense shift.
-One at a time.
Yes. One at a time.
SEUNG-JUN HAS TO GUARD
HIS TEAM'S VICTORY
What are they like?
What are they like?
Most of them bat aggressively
from the first pitch.
And batter seven
can hit only fastballs.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Okay. Let's go for a double play.
-We need to save Won-sam's points.
-Yes.
LET'S GET A DOUBLE PLAY!
Runners are on first and third bases.
Song Seung-jun is on the mound for a save.
But the next hitters will be
difficult to deal with.
Lee Seung-woo had a long hit today.
Right.
Jeon Tae-joon didn't have a hit,
but he's fast.
-We need to watch out for him.
-Right.
Checking first base runner.
A SUDDEN CHECK
-Seo Dong-wook caught it well.
-Timeout.
HE ALMOST MISSED THE BALL
Hey!
HE CAUGHT IT
How come he's so good?
Seo Dong-wook is so good.
Did you just see that?
The ball came in deep to the right.
Dong-wook almost dove in to catch it.
Manager Lee changing the defense players
-was a divine choice.
-Yes.
First pitch is a breaking pitch.
Yoon Jun-h* blocks.
Another breaking pitch.
-But it's two ba*ls.
-Right.
Okay. I see hope here!
OKAY! I SEE HOPE HERE!
Seung-woo, let's get on base.
If they allow a runner to get on base,
he might make the score even.
WITH AN EXTRA RUNNER,
THE GAME MIGHT BECOME EVEN!
We should let one come home
and go for more outs.
At this rate,
we might end up allowing more runs.
WE MIGHT ALLOW MORE RUNS
Just no extra-base hits.
Let's trade a run for one out.
THEY NEED MORE OUTS
The count is two ba*ls. He hits the ball!
A foul near third base.
The count is two and one.
Lee Seung-woo knows how to make big hits.
So he's trying to trick him into swinging
with breaking pitches.
An outside pitch
comes straight into the zone!
All right! Nice ball!
He indeed is very skilled.
-Of course.
-He's played baseball for years.
Give it your best!
The count is supposed
to be favorable for the hitter,
but he plays as if he has the upside.
ONE MORE STRIKE FOR A STRIKEOUT
It's an outside pitch,
but it's not in the zone.
SO CLOSE!
OKAY
THE FIGHT IS AT FULL COUNT
We're at a full count.
If they allow another runner,
it may become risky.
I CANNOT ALLOW THE BASES
TO GET LOADED
Swings and misses, strikeout!
PITCHES A STRIKEOUT
IN AN INTENSE SITUATION
NICE STRIKEOUT!
Nice ball!
-Thank you.
-Seriously. Thank you.
What the hell?
Darn it.
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
MISSED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS EYES
Lee Seung-woo succumbs to a high pitch!
Two outs!
The forkball was coming in high.
-It was near his face.
-Indeed.
He was too scared of the pitch.
When hitters are scared,
they react to a breaking ball.
-Right, when the slider curves.
-Yes.
Gosh, that was big.
One last out left.
Song Seung-jun is ready to pitch.
ONE LAST OUT LEFT
Next up is Jeon Tae-joon,
the seventh hitter.
He makes contact!
He makes contact!
A hit in the right field!
Go for third base!
Third baserunner comes home.
First baserunner comes on third.
The score is now seven to two.
Nice, Jeon Tae-joon!
Nice job!
They can now make the game even.
RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD WITH 2 OUTS
-One last out!
-Just one!
Throw well!
Darn it, these guys are so persistent.
I told you they were good.
If he pitched a walk,
it would've been seven to six.
THEY ARE BEING CORNERED
WITH 1 LAST OUT LEFT
Eui-yoon, something feels off.
Don't worry. We have two outs.
Gosh, we're being chased down.
MIRACLE 5 : 7 MONSTERS
It's seven to five.
We have two outs.
1 LAST OUT REMAINING
They're playing Im Do-gyeong
as a pinch hitter.
His BA is .349 in the independent league.
He hit 7 home runs and has 32 RBIs.
His intention is to turn the game around
with this hit.
The first pitch is a ball.
Im Do-gyeong! Go!
(THINK ABOUT THE BASE STEALS)
The first base runner is trying
to get into scoring position.
He's leading off aggressively.
Checking second base and the pitcher.
THE GAME WILL BECOME EVEN
IF THE FIRST BASERUNNER COMES HOME
The Miracles want to make the score even.
We have to turn the game around.
Let's make it happen.
PLEASE, AN EVEN SCORE
The runner starts running!
-Gosh, he's too fast.
-And…
he steals the base.
Why? Why didn't you throw the ball?
A hit would result in two runs here.
This shouldn't be happening. That was big.
A single hit can make the game even.
Runners on second and third bases
with two outs.
Hit that ball.
-One hit, and it's even.
-This is good!
Let's get ready!
Im Do-gyeong!
Don't make a play you'd regret!
Please.
An extended game would be an issue.
We have no pitchers.
We can't let them hit it.
Seung-jun, please. Do this for us.
VICTORY OR AN EVEN GAME
A BATTLE BACK AGAINST THE WALL
A ground ball. Foul near first base.
THEIR HEART DROPS
Please.
All right, we have a favorable count.
THE COUNT IS FAVORABLE
FOR THE MONSTERS
Song Seung-jun is quite nervous too.
Of course. The runners are
on second and third,
so a hit could result in
making the game even.
Favorable count.
What kind of pitch will Son Seung-jun
show us this time?
THE GAME DEPENDS ON
SEUNG-JUN'S SHOULDERS
Seung-jun, let's go!
Come on, show us a curve!
-Just one more!
-One!
sh**t the ball!
1 LAST OUT
A STRIKE CAN END THE GAME
Im Do-gyeong, the pinch hitter.
He's the best hitter
of the independent league.
-Beat him!
-Let's beat him!
-Go!
-Please.
-Please.
-Beat him!
Come on!
Two runners in scoring position.
A hit will make the game even.
Swings and misses, strikeout!
CK MONSTER'S VICTORY
The game ends!
THAT WAS SICK!
A LEGENDARY FINALE OF THE GAME
THEY SIGH…
It was a rough ride.
But Song Seung-jun doesn't yield!
This is their eighth winning streak!
Song Seung-jun makes it happen!
-Good job.
-Good work.
We had a bumpy start with Shim Soo-chang
at the beginning of the game.
GAME AGAINST MIRACLE
WAS A SERIES OF CRISES
But thanks to the hitters
and the pitchers,
but they managed to turn the game around
and showed their strength.
The Monsters' hitters were
unrelenting today.
The best team. This title suits
their team's name and their baseball.
WE ARE THE CK MONSTERS
-The Miracle.
-The Monsters.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
CK MONSTERS VS YEONCHEON MIRACLE
Gosh, so full of energy!
Goodness, good work.
THEY ARE TRUDGING
All right.
I'm so exhausted.
Everyone seems drained.
-They're so good.
-Gosh.
THEY'RE ABOUT TO FAINT
-I'm so drained.
-Worn out.
Good work on today's game.
All right.
Congratulations on your miraculous
eighth winning streak!
ENDLESS WINNING STREAK
It's the eighth already?
Gosh, an eighth-win streak?
I think today, we had the most
extraordinary plays so far.
I couldn't believe we were
doing so consistently
and that this team was
made of retired players.
Both teams showed their best today.
Although Shim Soo-chang
came down from the mound early,
but the other players worked the game out.
It was a difficult win,
but I'm so glad that we won today.
A VALUABLE WIN
AS IT WAS DIFFICULT TO WIN
Today was your first today
as a submarine pitcher.
How do you feel?
It definitely wasn't easy.
Because I couldn't control the ball,
I didn't get a chance to pitch a curve.
It was a difficult game for me.
Thanks to me, we played
a very challenging game today.
THANKS TO ME?
I helped my team stay on their toes.
I hope that's a good thing, right?
-No, it's thanks to me.
-This is off topic,
but when Shim Soo-chang plays
as the starting pitcher,
we get the highest rating.
SHIM SOO-CHANG STARTING PITCHER
LEADS TO THE HIGHEST RATING
It's quite odd, isn't it?
He tends to make memorable games.
But don't beat yourself up too much.
It was your first.
-I hope that you keep training.
-Yes, sir.
I'll announce the MVP of this game.
MVP CANDIDATES
-Today's MVP?
-It's hard to guess today
IT'S HARD TO GUESS TODAY…
There are too many players
that deserve it.
-There are four candidates.
-Four?
I'll announce them right away.
Jeong Keun-woo.
THE DEFENDING FAIRY, KEUN-WOO
-I agree.
-He definitely deserves it.
He stopped two runs.
Next, Jeong Seong-hoon!
-Jeez.
-What was that?
-I'm not worthy.
-Not worthy.
Both of them aren't.
Next, Park Yong-taek!
-He deserves it too.
-Okay.
Last is Rhee Dae-eun.
LAST CANDIDATE
THE WINNING PITCHER, DAE-EUN
-Why are you applauding so softly?
-Just sit down.
Gosh, this is disappointing.
You didn't even receive it yet.
Today's MVP is…
ANNOUNCING TODAY'S MVP
It was hard to choose today.
Please.
-I think it's Keun-woo.
-Maybe.
The devilish second baseman.
Because it's hard to choose,
I will let the manager decide.
HIS BRAIN STOPS WORKING
A headache.
OH… DID YOU SAY MY NAME?
-It's up to me?
-Yes.
You each got one vote.
I see.
If you were to tell me to pick
one of the four,
I want to give the MVP to Rhee Dae-eun.
Thank you, sir.
-But? Let's listen.
-But!
However…
I've had an experience
just like this player's experience today.
The game wasn't going well,
and I dropped to rock bottom.
But thanks to a lucky hit in the end,
he rose from hell to heaven.
For that reason, I would like to give
the MVP to Captain Park Yong-taek.
TODAY'S MVP IS CAPTAIN TAEK!
I'm sorry for playing terribly today.
I guess you don't have to stay good.
Gosh.
You just need to get one lucky hit.
I hope you live a great life.
HE'S BITTER
Our team captain has to be well
for our team to be well.
Although the captain is getting the MVP
with a single lucky hit,
but please congratulate him.
HE'S BEGGING HIS TEAM
-Congratulations!
-Thank you.
CONGRATULATIONS, CAPTAIN!
-Captain, treat us to a meal!
-Sounds nice.
-Thank you.
-Indeed. Do something for us at least.
You know my hand is bleeding
from the game.
I know, right? What is this?
No need to try hard anymore.
-Thank you.
-Why does home even base exist?
Thank you.
ON PINS AND NEEDLES
-Look how much I'm bleeding.
-Seong-hoon.
This isn't important.
All you need to do is to bat.
Let's have a team dinner. My treat.
APPLIES REMEDY
NICE, TEAM DINNER
This is what I wanted.
SO DIFFICULT TO RECEIVE MVP
Last game, I went five for zero.
Including a double play,
I was out six times that game.
In today's game, I went four for zero.
I was out five times with one double play.
Honestly, I was considering
resigning as a surprise,
due to my performance.
But thanks to my manager
and the team's trust in me,
they became one and gave me the strength
to bring out a good result within me.
I will always love CK Monsters. Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
CONGRATULATIONS
But to finish up
the MVP announcement like this
feels lacking
as the general manager of the team.
There's one more?
You're not taking it away, right?
HE'S ANXIOUS
As a general manager,
we will appoint another MVP.
THANK YOU, GENERAL MANAGER
So there are two.
THANK YOU, GENERAL MANAGER
The second MVP…
WHO IS THE SECOND MVP?
…is the Jeong Keun-woo
who showed insane defense.
THE ONE WHO SHOWED GREAT DEFENSE!
Didn't you say you shouldn't try hard?
But I did!
You guys all have MVPs already though.
HE'S JEALOUS
I always win MVP with someone else.
Thank you.
Thank you, General Manager.
Why did you hug me though?
Now you have two.
Keun-woo, you pay the other half
for the team dinner.
HE FOUND HIS OPPORTUNITY TO INVADE
-Let's split it.
-Look how sly you are.
I've got a good feeling about baseball
and my body always feels ready
to play to suit the game.
My confidence came back
as if I were a pro again
along with my competitive spirit.
I'm thrilled to play baseball.
And I believed that today's game
was an important game.
When I threw the ball home,
I believed that it was a game-changer.
That's why after getting him out,
I was confident we'd win.
And we all did great today in defense,
so I'd like to thank
my team members for this.
A DEVILISH SECOND BASEMAN
Thank you!
Don't forget to take your doll.
My doll.
Look at him. He almost forgot this doll.
We won't take away your dolls anymore.
You get to keep them.
Gosh, everyone has MVP now.
Seriously.
Have you noticed
one of our teammates is missing?
IT'S STILL EMPTY BESIDE HYUN-IN
No.
-Soo-hyun.
-He was there.
He really had his eyes wide open today.
I know, right?
He was trying so hard today.
He should've been scolded like Jun-h*.
His batting was so good
in the independent league.
YOU BRAT
I never realized when he was with us.
You played against CK Monster today.
How do you feel?
As we played the game,
we were pretty determined to win,
as our team is decent
in the independent league.
When it was
the eighth inning with two outs,
but they really proved that
they were on a different level.
Look at you talk.
-The eighth?
-Yes, sir.
You're allowed to return now.
HE'S SATISFIED WITH HIS COMMENT
You all did great.
By the way,
-Kim Sun-woo isn't here today.
-Right.
But Song Jae-u came today.
Although I didn't listen,
I thought he did a great job commentating.
I THOUGHT
HE DID A GREAT JOB COMMENTATING
-But you didn't listen to him.
-Seriously?
ALL OF A SUDDEN?
Gosh.
Goodbye, Sun-woo.
Although I didn't hear it, I can tell.
-I heard him commentate.
-Right.
And Jae-u is better.
HE MAKES IT CERTAIN
We had fun.
WE HAD FUN,
AND LET'S NOT SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN
-Bye.
-Why don't you come in and comment?
It's Song Jae-u and Jeong Yong-geom.
HAPPILY WELCOMES THEM
There were other interesting games.
But today's was the best.
When Seo Dong-wook was changed
at the last minute,
I was a bit skeptical,
but when that happened in the ninth,
I had to applaud.
You seem happy, Manager Lee.
Thank you.
HE'S ALWAYS SORRY FOR HIM
In baseball, pinch hitters
influence the game a lot
and even sometimes
bring the momentum back.
I was worried that this might
lead the game off the track.
If Sun-woo is sometimes sick or anything,
if an urgent matter comes up for him,
I have no intention
of refusing if you would call me.
But I don't want to steal
my junior's place.
I will always watch the show,
cheering for all of you.
I don't have an ounce of doubt
that A Clean Sweep
will keep on marching
to its success and victories.
You made me understand that today.
Thank you.
That was a nice wrap-up.
That was good.
He speaks so clearly.
He's different.
Gosh, the quality of his speaking
is on a different level.
He's so eloquent.
WILL KIM SUN-WOO GET KICKED OUT
JUST LIKE THAT?
Let's end it for today with a cheer.
Doesn't matter who's next.
CK Monsters will win
for a ninth winning streak.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
LET'S GO FOR OUR 9TH WIN STREAK!
Bye.
The game is in two days!
-Let's go!
-Come on!
MONSTERS, WHO FOUGHT SO HARD
AGAINST THE MIRACLES,
SUFFERED A BITTER LOSS
AGAINST THE U-18 TEAM
STAY TUNED, THE 1ST MATCH

4 MONTHS AGO
AT JTBC OFFICE BUILDING
-Hello.
-Hello.
SUN-WOO CAME TO MEET
THE GENERAL MANAGER
You're always trying to make me nervous.
What do you mean?
-I couldn't sleep?
-Why not?
-Because I was nervous.
-Why?
Who knows? I might get kicked out too.
HIS INTELLIGENCE GOES UP?
When I asked you to meet me,
I'm sure you assumed this.
-Yes.
-Right.
To me, your opinion is the most important.
I want to do it.
Did that thought come to your mind?
That you want to pitch?
No, not really.
But as I watched the games,
I felt something.
And I believe this is
what Manager Lee is feeling as well.
That's why he played as a hitter.
As I commentated,
my heart ached
when I see the pitchers injured.
-Really?
-Yes.
And I wanted to share
that burden with them.
So, I can pitch.
But I'll need some time.
-How long do you need?
-Three months.
Three months?
How fast can you get your velocity up to?
Maybe…
-about 128km/h?
-So close to 130km/h?
My maximum is 130km/h.
I see.
Then can I expect you to be on the mound
at the end of September?
Is September 4th Monday?
-The fifth is Monday.
-I see.
The fourth is my birthday, so…
HE TRIED TO MAKE IT MEANINGFUL
Since the fourth is your birthday,
can you get ready by the fifth?
-So I'm pitching on September fifth?
-Yes.
I'M PITCHING ON SEPTEMBER 5TH?
Let's do it.
I want to fit
the purpose of A Clean Sweep.
In the game that can be my last game
as a pitcher,
I want to prepare with enough time
and pitch the ball
however many times I want.
Kim Sun-woo who is 46 years old.
I didn't really have
a resignation ceremony.
I just left the scene quietly.
This place might be my last chance
as a pitcher.
And I'll definitely be in pain
while I prepare for the game.
But I want to try pitching
for a single game.
I WANT TO TRY PITCHING
FOR A SINGLE GAME

Sun-woo, come here.
I get to sit here today?
Hey, starting pitcher. Come here.
Yong-taek.
FEELS PROUDER NEXT TO MANAGER LEE
CK Monsters are here in Munhak Stadium!
MONSTERS ENTER LANDERS FIELD
KEUN-WOO AND EUI-YOON
COME BACK TO THEIR HOME GROUND
We have a new player.
(ROOKIE'S SMILE)
He's nervous.
Look how pale he is.
He indeed is.
You look like Shim Soo-chang
on his very first match.
He's worse than I am.
-General Manager.
-Yes?
How dare you compare me to him?
He's drawing clear boundaries.
Like we have shown you
in the preview for the show,
the only major league baseball player
of the show, who has been a commentator,
joined the team as a pitcher.
A big round of applause.
FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHER
KIM SUN-WOO JOINS MONSTERS
-Is he permanently on our team?
-Coors Field shutout.
Is he permanent?
How do you feel?
All right.
I'll show you that major leaguers
are in a different class.
HE'S TOO SERIOUS
Does he mean Itaewon Class?
HE'S TOO SERIOUS
I'd like to tell all the citizens
this one thing, short and quick.
There are many legendary players here.
Those who have never been to MLB…
LOOKING DOWN ON THEM?
…played the game until now.
I'll prove my worth
as a former MLB player.
I'll help you realize that
-I'm a world-class player.
-All right.
What a heavy blow.
-Please.
-He's so cool.
All right.
Play like you did in Coors Field.
I'm looking forward to it.
That game was so memorable.
Will he be the starting pitcher,
Manager Lee?
Yes, I am.
That's what he says.
He wants to pitch first.
-Seriously.
-He wants to pitch?
What is your goal as a former MLB player?
-Shutting out one inning.
-Sorry?
SHUTTING OUT ONE INNING?
-Shutting out one inning.
-Sorry?
CAN'T HOLD IN THE LAUGHTER
Didn't you say this is the best place?
-You were the world's best player.
-You're no different from Soo-chang.
It is best indeed, but the eight years
that I've missed is just too big.
So what's your goal?
Shutting out one inning.
A former MLB player
has the same goal as Soo-chang.
MLB PLAYER
WITH SHIM SOO-CHANG-LEVEL GOAL
Why don't you aim higher for your goal?
(HE THINKS CAREFULLY)
Shutting out two innings.
-I hope he won't say two innings.
-Shutting two innings.
(HE GOT IT RIGHT)
I can't allow that.
How about shutting out three innings?
Then do I get something?
-Are you drunk or something?
-He's getting annoying.
HE CUTS HIM OFF
What do you think will happen
as his partner?
I met him earlier this morning,
and he told me
that the mound feels so far.
The Kim Sun-woo that I know
would never say he'll pitch
unless he's confident.
Because he gained some confidence,
he's sitting there with that uniform.
I believe three shutout innings
can happen.
I see.
As you know, our opponent for today
is Inha University.
I heard you were happy to hear
about the opposite team.
Why were you happy?
-I was happy?
-You were thrilled.
(ACTS LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW)
WHEN THE STORM CAME
ON THE 2ND MATCH AGAINST U-18
Did you call us so that
we can grill the meat for U-18?
I think so.
Oh Ju-won is good at grilling them.
So I'm here to grill meat today, right?
Let me just take one more.
-Dig in.
-Thank you.
Could we get some more meat?
Dig in, Myung-geun.
AND THE GENERAL MANAGER CALLS?
-What's happening?
-Hello.
The second match against U-18
was canceled today.
Right.
After their competition abroad,
we'll gather them so that
we can play our second match.
But they should be going to school.
HE'S WORRIED?
What is important for us now
-Yes.
-is next week, the 12th and 13th.
-We have consecutive matches.
-Yes, we do.
Who are we playing against?
WHO ARE WE PLAYING AGAINST?
(HE HANDS HIM OVER THE
It's a bit heavy.
Please, not against a pro team.
Not against a pro team.
What's this?
-It's not money.
-No pros.
Please.
Please.
ANXIETY LEVEL AT MAX
No professional teams.
Please.
Please, no.
WHO WILL THEY FACE
AFTER GOING AGAINST U-18?
(HE SMILES)
A MYSTERIOUS SMILE?
I guess you saw it.
CANNOT HIDE HOW HAPPY HE IS
INHA UNIVERSITY
Last week, the team we went against
was very powerful.
The fact that the atmosphere
and the team have changed
is what made me smile.
I'm not implying that they are a weak team
or I'm not looking down on them at all.
-Okay.
-All right. I'll stop here.
Please.
He's good at escaping trouble.
I'll tell you about Inha University.
In the university league, U-League,
they consecutively won
out of a group of death.
-They're good.
-And…
they have the best catcher
in university baseball.
Park Chan-hui.
-Isn't Jun-h* the best?
-I thought he was.
I thought it was Jun-h*.
-It's not?
-He's not?
No. According to scouting reports,
many say that he's better than Jun-h*.
HE'S BITTER
Jun-h* can't hide his expression.
Do you admit that?
-Jun-h*, say something.
-You should.
Are you yielding?
I don't even know him that well.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM THAT WELL
HE WAVES HIS HAND?
He doesn't know who he is.
You don't know?
I've only heard of this name.
HE BITES THE b*llet
You're so cool, Jun-h*.
HE CHUCKLES
I'm sure you know.
Dong-eui lost to Inha with a called game.
…a called game.
That was two years ago.
But I wasn't in the game
for having stomach flu.
SO HE DIDN'T LOSE
-So they lost when you weren't there?
-Yes.
THEY LOST WHEN YOU WEREN'T THERE?
We'll see who is the best catcher
of the U-League is today.
Tell us how you feel
about entering the game.
We will try our best no matter
what team we will face.
If a losing streak continues in sports,
it's not a good influence on the team.
Through today's game,
there will be no losses.
Our destination is higher than this,
so we'll win today and advance up.
MONSTER'S SECOND TIME
AGAINST A UNIVERSITY TEAM
THEY'RE STARTING TO WARM UP
I'm currently
the manager of Inha University.
I heard you were upset hearing that.
Indeed, I was.
Inha University won't
be easy to take down.
When they get the momentum,
they play aggressively.
I think we will win.
I think we have
a 70 percent chance to win.
People don't realize how strong we are
until they play against us.
So I think we will win decisively.
Maybe ten to nothing.
There are no seniors or juniors
in playing baseball.
So they can see for themselves.
I won't say much. I'll just destroy them.
CK Monsters is in Landers Stadium.
They're going for
their first win of the fall.
Hello, everyone. For today's game,
we are here today
with Song Jae-woo.
-Hello.
-Yes, hello.
Actually, last week,
we were supposed to hold a second match
with the U-18.
But it got canceled due to rain.
And after that,
when the members heard that
they were against Inha, they were happy.
But Inha isn't a team
they should look down on.
Indeed. This fall,
a baseball competition will begin.
And Inha is included in that tournament
as one of the top 20 teams.
You can consider them to be
one of the strongest teams.
THE STRONGEST TEAM, INHA UNIVERSITY
It won't go as easy as they think.
I'll show you
how fierce university baseball can be.
I'm confident.
I believe that victory is on our side.
We have a player
who is about to take the mound
after eight years.
It's Commentator Kim Sun-woo,
who will be the starting pitcher
of the Monsters.
We'll call him a real player for today,
Like you said, he's taking the mound
after eight years.
To make this happen,
he trained alone for three months.
As a secret project,
he's starting this match
against Inha University.
He's up as a starting pitcher
after 3,076 days.
I'm sure he's unbelievably nervous.
HOW WILL KIM SUN-WOO
DO ON THE MOUND?
Also, the first pitch will be
thrown by Ma Big-tak.
SPECIAL PITCHER MA BIG-TAK?
First pitch!
First pitch? Who is it?
THE SPECIAL PITCHER HAS
A SIMILAR SHAPE TO GGURI AND SORI
Number 111 for 111kg.
Comedian Kim Jun-hyun is here.
TODAY'S SPECIAL PITCHER,
KIM JUN-HYUN
Big-tak!
It's Big-tak! Ma Big-tak!
There's our special pitcher.
Let's hear from him.
Hello, I'm Kim Jun-hyun!
MY GOSH, IT'S A CELEBRITY
It's a great honor
to stand here as a special pitcher
for A Clean Sweep.
I'm sure the players will do their best
to turn this game
into another interesting one,
and I'll also watch it with you.
It is such a fun and beautiful day!
Let's go, A Clean Sweep!
Let's go, Inha University!
WHY NO CHEER FOR THE MONSTERS?
Sounds great, Big-tak!
MR. JUN-HYUN IS THE BEST
I wonder how he'll pitch.
How will he throw as a man who's 111kg?
-He's interested in the rosin too.
-Yes.
-Hey.
-That's not food.
It's not food.
-What?
-That's not food.
-It's not sauce.
-It's not rice cake?
This is too far.
Wait, one serving? No, not one serving.
-Two?
-Three servings.
Three servings?
I haven't eaten.
Let's take three servings.
Three servings? Three, okay.
WHAT IS HE SAYING…
Let's see how he'll throw.
HOW WILL THE MAN OF 111KG THROW
THE FIRST PITCH?
-Nice job.
-It went out a little,
-but he threw it at the catcher at once.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
That was Comedian Tasty Big-tak,
Kim Jun-hyun's special pitch.
Here's the lineup for Inha.
Number one, Jung Hyeon-seung.
Two, Kim Seo-won.
Three, Kim Cheong-yong.
Four, Park Min-hyeong.
Five, Hwang Seong-h*. Six, Park Chan-hui.
Seven, Park Min-su. Eight, Jung Chang-dae.
Lastly, nine, Ko Myeong-gyu.
The fielding positions for CK Monsters.
Outfielders, Jung Eui-yoon,
Lee Taek-keun, and Kim Moon-h*.
Infielders, Choi Soo-hyun, Ryu Hyun-in,
Jeong Keun-woo, and Seo Dong-wook.
And Yoon Jun-h* is playing
with Kim Sun-woo
who's playing as a starting pitcher
for the first time.
Let's meet the real hero of this mound.
Sun-woo, let's go. A perfect game.
LET'S GO, KIM SUN-WOO
A perfect game. The major leaguer's class.
Show them.
-Go, Sun-woo!
-The major leaguer!
-Let's go!
-Put your glove on! The major leaguer!
His glove is already a classic.
The major leaguer's glove is
from high school.
It's been 3,076 days
since April 11th, 2014,
and he's back on the mound
as a starting pitcher.
JUST AMAZED
AMAZED
THE FANS CHEER IN JOY
AS THEY WELCOME
THE MAJOR LEAGUER BACK
Just the fact that Kim Sun-woo
came back on the mound
after eight years is
a deeply touching moment
as someone who played baseball
with him for a long time.
I hope he doesn't feel burdened,
and relax as he pitches, like that time
when he won by a shut-out
on the Coors Field,
keeping that confidence on the mound.
-Great defenders on the back.
-Sun-woo.
Third baseman and the shortstop.
-Third, shortstop, get ready.
-Yes.
-He told you to get ready.
-Yes.
Let's go, the winner by a shut-out
on the Coors Field!
A major leaguer.
And a man who monumentally
won by a shut-out on the Coors Field.
But he never had a retirement match.
And here's what he told us
as the reason why he's playing today.
He wants to show
the fans who gave him support
the pitch he has thrown over his career.
He wants to show that one pitch.
He said he'd think of this
as his retirement game.
That was the gist.
My gosh, that's really fast.
-His old posture is back.
-Yes.
-It is.
-Yes.
Not bad.
That's a two-seam fastball.
-Nice.
-Hey, I knew it.
-Gosh.
-You got this.
HE'S DONE GETTING READY
ON THE MOUND AFTER 8 YEARS
WILL HE RETURN SMILING?
-Let's go!
-Let's do this!
-Soo-chang.
-Yes?
He's faster than you.
I'll show you today.
-You're pitching?
-You will?
Batter one, Jung Hyeon-seung.
-Let's focus.
-Go!
The first inning.
Take the lead from the start.
-Let's go!
-Go!
Let's go, inning one. Focus!
-They'll swing better than high schoolers.
-Of course.
He's fast.
The first and the second are fast.
This is the first pitch he'll throw
after 3,076 days.
What will it be?
-The first pitch.
-The first pitch!
FIRST PITCH, STRIKE
-Okay!
-First pitch, strike.
His first pitch is at 133km/h.
JAWS DROPPED
THAT'S THE MAJOR LEAGUER
Great job!
-Let's go.
-That was fast.
He's 46, returning after 8 years,
but his first pitch was
a strike at 133km/h.
He hits the second pitch as a grounder.
IT ROLLS IN FRONT OF THE 2ND BASEMAN
The second baseman catches,
throws to the first.
Out on the first.
Nice pitch!
HE PUTS OUT THE FIRST BATTER!
-You still got the game.
-That's excellent.
-He can pitch for three innings.
-He can!
-Hyeon-seung, what was the first?
-Yes?
It was a fastball,
but it fell in like this.
What's the hardest for pitchers?
The number one.
When we begin,
the first pitch, first strike.
And there's the first batter.
The first out.
Number one is important.
And Kim Sun-woo did all that.
He put out batter one,
Jung Hyeon-seung, with a grounder.
Batter two, Kim Seo-won.
He's a fast batter with good accuracy.
Swings and misses.
THE BATTER LOSES THE TIMING
-Keep watching to the end.
-Nice pitch.
EXCELLENT JOB!
CHUCKLES…
That's brutal.
He still has great control.
He used a fastball, a two-seam,
and a changeup.
Kim Sun-woo puts on
a different face on the mound.
FOUL
-Hey.
-That was 135km/h.
-Hey.
-That's 135km/h.
He's a fireballer.
That's after seven, eight years of hiatus.
Eyes on the pitch.
When he came on the mound
as a special pitcher last time,
-it was 133km/h.
-Yes.
And he didn't even throw a lot right now.
This is his 4th pitch,
and he's already at 135km/h.
Two strikes,
the count is on the pitcher's side.
HE HITS!
Down the center.
It drops in front of the center fielder.
GOOD, RUN!
SCREECH!
Batter two, Kim Seo-won runs out.
One out, a runner on the first.
KIM SEO-WON SUCCESSFULLY RUNS OUT
-Great job!
-Hey!
A GREAT START
It's okay.
We can do a double.
Kim Sun-woo was
a pitcher with great ball control,
so if he throws
the two-seam fastball lower,
the players of Inha will
end up hitting many grounders.
One out, a runner on the first.
1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Sun-woo, pitch and defend.
-Okay.
-Hey, a double play.
Don't let it go out. Check for fielders.
KEEP UP THE TENSION
And the leading batsmen come up.
Batter three, Kim Cheong-yong walks up.
Get in there, boys.
Gosh, look who this is.
-It's Cheong-yong.
-The forearm muscles.
The biggest forearms.
Batter three, Kim Cheong-yong won
the highest RBI, the most hits,
and the highest scorer
in the 2019 High School Gold Lion Cup,
the winner of three awards.
Which means he's talented.
He won three batting awards.
He already looked like a smartie.
He won three batting awards
in the university league.
-A grounder.
-Skips off the bat. A foul.
-Hey!
-Hey, nice one.
Nice hit.
College kids definitely have
better swings.
Kim Sun-woo starts off with one strike.
ANXIOUS
Throw lightly!
Another low pitch.
SUN-WOO MADE HIM HIT A GROUNDER
Nice ball. Good.
Nice pitch.
I can tell by his pitch
that he'll throw to the third.
His pitches all come in
into the strike zone and nearby.
That's why the batters must take a swing.
-Watch out!
-Kim Sun-woo takes the batter's timing.
-Gosh.
-Go!
It flies down the center.
The trajectory is vague.
It's another hit.
Run quickly! Run!
-Kim Seo-won runs to the third.
-Third!
3RD BASE!
THE RUNNER FROM THE 1ST
LANDS ON THE 3RD
It's a hit.
Kim Cheong-yong gets on base.
THE FOREARM POWER!
You can't let him hit that.
These hits are very odd.
You can give him one.
One out, runners on the first and third.
Kim Sun-woo faces danger
of losing a point.
One out.
Watch out for a line drive and try
to return home. Run when it bounces.
Do a double play!
Spread out.
A starting pitcher must
set the flow of the game.
If I don't stop them on the mound,
it feels like we'll lose
from the beginning.
So I was greatly overwhelmed.
Don't get nervous.
Batter four, Park Min-hyeong is up.
-You can go out.
-Eyes on the bound.
He induces a grounder,
but a foul on the left.
-You got this!
-A fastball of 135km/h.
Kim Sun-woo is about to lose a point.
It's okay. Keep it up! Come on!
Runners on the first and the third.
Manager Lee is anxious.
No, don't let them score. Don't lose one.
Stop them.
Let's seize the chance while we have it.
Kim Sun-woo told us that
he came out today for the sake
of his fans and their support.
HE PITCHED!
-Okay!
-He hits the ball.
THE BALL FLIES DOWN THE CENTER
It drops before the center fielder.
-Third.
-Go!
Runner on third leaves for home.
-Go!
-Get in!
Runner on the first
runs through the second.
-Over there!
-What was that?
Runner on third easily returns home.
KIM CHEONG-YONG REACHED 3RD BASE
Three batters hit consecutively.
Inha University makes its first point.
DO NOT EVER LOOK DOWN
ON INHA UNIVERSITY AGAIN!
CK Monsters allow them to score.
THE MONSTERS LOSE THE FIRST POINT
VERY FLUSTERED
It's slippery here.
-This is dangerous.
-It is.
It skipped off, but it's a hit?
IT SKIPPED OFF, BUT IT'S A HIT?
The third and fourth batters of Inha
didn't make big swings.
They both focused on the contact.
As you mentioned,
the hits weren't standard.
-They skipped off the bat.
-Yes.
All three hits skipped off the bat.
So instead of this location,
the pitches need to go lower.
-Timeout.
-Timeout.
TIMEOUT CALLED
-Are you okay?
-I am. How's it looking?
-You're doing great.
-Really?
There were a few hits after two strikes.
But they all skipped off the bat,
so throw confidently.
Just lead them for grounders.
-Yes.
-Okay,
good. Let's go.
-Relax in such times. Calm down
-Okay.
Kim Sun-woo can be shaken
as the pitches skipped off
and became hits.
Runners are
on the first and the third again.
Three batters' consecutive hits.
And now, batter five, Hwang Seong-h*.
Hwang Seong-h* is a player
who can make a hit.
HIS HIT EQUALS ANOTHER POINT
Show us, Seong-h*!
Show us!
Seong-h*, you have to let it fly.
Lower. A grounder.
Kim Sun-woo is in danger
as the pitches skipped off
and became hits.
HE HITS!
-Good.
-Yes, two.
-Good.
-It's a grounder.
The shortstop catches.
The second base, the first.
You got it. Good!
Get back in!
-Get back in!
-The first.
-Safe!
-Safe on first base.
DONG-WOOK'S FOOT LEFT THE BASE
His foot comes off
and the runner on the third scores.
Another point lost. Two to zero.
THIS IS INHA UNIVERSITY!
EVERYONE GROANS
Oh, no.
IT'S OKAY!
One more time.
ONE MORE TIME, PLEASE!
Great job.
SUN-WOO ENCOURAGES THE FIELDERS
My foot came off.
It left a little too early.
They had to cut this off
with a double play.
But sadly, his foot came off.
The inning doesn't end yet.
The score is two to zero now.
Batter six, Park Chan-hui.
You'll get one.
Park Chan-hui also deserves attention.
Yoon Jun-h* of the Monsters is
the number one catcher
among university players,
but some scouts say
Park Chan-hui is the number one.
Yes, he's a talented player.
He must be the catcher.
He's one of the good players too.
He hit two home runs.
Let's take him down, Jun-h*.
What will he do? Catcher Park Chan-hui.
Let's go!
FIRST PITCH, BALL
-Deep into his torso.
-Good pitch.
That was a good one.
But it's not a strike.
Good.
You're on Coors Field.
He still has a powerful pitch!
Chan-hui, you have to hit. Get it out.
I went in thinking
the first would be a fastball,
but it dropped like a two-seam.
It became a ball,
so I knew it'll be a fastball now.
I wanted to fight him face-to-face.
Boldly.
HE HITS!
He got him to hit a grounder.
The shortstop puts him out.
-Let's go.
-Three outs.
Great job!
DISAPPOINTED
ENDS WITHOUT LOSING ANOTHER POINT!
-Okay.
-The four-seam is better.
VERY WELL DONE!
Kim Sun-woo loses two points,
but his inning after eight years
put a smile on everyone's face.
-Great job!
-Nice pitches.
-Good job.
-You've done well.
-Not bad.
-Good job.
-Good one.
-Ju-won.
-Okay.
-It wasn't so bad.
-It wasn't.
-One more, then.
-Okay.
-Sun-woo, doing great.
He's good in the middle.
Hee-kwan, one more inning.
But things may change
in the second inning, so…
(ON STANDBY FOR NOW!)
-Hee-kwan, I'm sorry.
-Why?
-Please get ready.
-Sure.
-I can't help it.
-It's fine.
Your pitches are great.
GLAD
It's all skipping off.
-Why do they become hits?
-Exactly.
The pitches are great,
so why are they hits?
Yes, they skipped off
and weren't hit right.
Exactly.
We can't help it. It happens.
If he throws a little lower,
it'll all turn into grounders.
-He's good at ball control.
-He is.
He can throw for a while.
WILL HE THROW WELL
IN THE 2ND INNING TOO?
-Jun-seo, don't get excited.
-Okay.
Just throw as you always have.
Today's starting pitcher.
Im Jun-seo of Inha University.
He's in his second year,
but Manager Jung
put him out as the starting pitcher.
A STRONG PITCH
What was that?
What's with that guy?
-Excellent.
-Good!
His main weapon is a curveball.
It drops down to six o'clock.
He's very confident about the curveball.
First pitch, breaking ball as a strike.
-Yes.
-A breaking ball and a strike.
Keep it up.
Let's get the first batter.
His battle against Jeong Keun-woo is
very important in this game.
Jeong Keun-woo is the least likely
to get struck out on the team.
The first batter!
Let's go!
WHAT'S IM JUN-SEO'S FIRST PITCH?
-Strike!
-The first pitch is a strike.
THE BIG DROP
OF THE CURVEBALL IS THREATENING
THIS IS IT!
QUITE FLUSTERED
What was that? It dropped from the sky.
The fastball. He warmed up at 140km/h.
-Really?
-Yes, he had good pitches.
He drops the curveball
into the strike zone.
-Strike!
-A fastball.
It goes into the strike zone.
HE PITCHES A PERFECT FASTBALL!
-Nice ball, nice height!
-A fastball.
It'll be tough to hit.
The pitcher is fast.
He's a dreadful one.
Will he throw a curveball or a fastball?
Which pitch is Jeong Keun-woo expecting?
His pitches are different
from high school and college pitchers
-they played until now.
-Right.
A SLIDER, STRIKEOUT
-Okay!
-He swung the bat. Strikeout.
-Okay.
-Yes!
NICE PITCHING!
That was unexpected. He threw a slider.
Jeong Keun-woo wanted to hold back,
but he ended up swinging.
Im Jun-seo pitched against one batter,
and I can see that he threw to win.
Yes.
-Keun-woo, was that a slider?
-Yes, he threw one slider.
Does he throw fastballs?
No, they come in clean.
But it spins a lot.
I hate that type.
Batter two, Choi Soo-hyun.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop was
quite torn on batter two today.
He was.
Soo-hyun, make it out alive!
-Let's make it out alive.
-He's fast!
Swings and misses.
SOO-HYUN SWINGS AND MISSES
Nice pitch!
SPEED: 140KM/H
We usually hit the first pitch,
-but the chances are slim.
-Definitely.
We have to look for the timing.
I like fast-paced pitchers.
-As an opponent?
-On my team.
-Right.
-Yes.
Don't want to hit it, though.
His pitches are fast!
WHAT'S THE 2ND PITCH?
ANOTHER FASTBALL, STRIKE
That was 141km/h.
His speed keeps going up.
It began from 139km/h, going up to 141.
He threw two fastballs
against Choi Soo-hyun.
Im Jun-seo.
Keun-woo, are his fastballs straight?
The spins are nice.
Good, Jun-seo. Nice counts.
Let's go in now.
Two strikes, favorable to the pitcher.
A battle against
batter two, Choi Soo-hyun.
COME AT ME, FASTBALL!
And into the torso. Strikeout looking.
CURVEBALL, TWO STRIKEOUTS
HE NAILED IT!
JUST AMAZED
Nice drop.
It drops from the top.
What? A curveball?
The batters of the Monsters
cannot expect to see
-a single type of pitch.
-Right.
He was up against two batters,
and it's tough to predict the pitches.
-It is.
-Yes.
Im Jun-seo has great control,
and he throws sliders or curveballs
into a place
where he wants to put it into.
Im Jun-seo is showing
a clear command in the inning.
He's not an easy fight.
He's a tough pitcher for batters.
He doesn't stick to a type.
I hate those pitchers.
How their strikes go back and forth.
The players of the Monsters
showed confidence
-as they played college students,
-Yes.
But Im Jun-seo throws unlike that level.
Not at all. This team isn't easy.
No, this is the team that took first place
in the most difficult group.
-He's not an easy fight.
-No.
That's good. They bat well too.
I knew they'd do well.
We can't play against college students.
CHANGING HORSES
Keep it up!
One out left in this inning.
Batter three, Park Yong-taek
walks into the box.
CAPTAIN TAEK'S TIMELY APPEARANCE
Keep an eye on him!
A fastball!
Take the first pitch!
First pitch, the outside. A fastball.
SO CLOSE
-Nice timing.
-Good swing.
Make no mistakes.
Jun-seo, you got this.
It skips off the bat and flies high.
To the foul zone.
-Go.
-Go out!
Go out.
The third baseman can't catch it.
FOUL
SAFE TAEK?
GOOD SWING!
The first and second pitches were
different for all three batters.
Yes, and he's good
at the ball count fight.
He doesn't get shaken.
Do it again.
A fastball!
Two strikes, the count is for the pitcher.
ONE MORE STRIKE FOR A STRIKEOUT
WHAT WILL IM JUN-SEO THROW?
-Strike.
-It drops and comes in.
Strikeout looking.
HE STRIKES OUT
THREE BATTERS IN A ROW!
Three strikeouts.
-The starting pitcher, Im Jun-seo,
-It wasn't hit?
strikes out all three batters.
IM JUN-SEO'S SHOW
OF THREE STRIKEOUTS
WHAT WAS THAT, JUN-SEO?
It came in.
Good grief.
It's our first time
getting struck out three times.
-As soon as we begin? It's the first.
-It is.
That came in directly.
IN COMPLETE SHOCK
It must be tough to hit.
-The mixes are different for all three.
-They are.
He throws a random mix.
-He has a great command.
-He does.
-He's a charming pitcher.
-He is.
Great control.
-It looks far.
-Does it?
It's now the top of the second inning,
Inha University's batting.
Kim Sun-woo returns to the mound.
He did lose two points,
but they weren't actual hits.
No, it must be disappointing for him.
The hits all skipped off the bat.
There is no clean pitch at all.
No, they all keep roving.
That's why the batters
cannot make a solid hit
although his pitches are in mid-130km/h.
How will he do in the second inning?
The first batter is Park Min-su.
It'll be great if Sun-woo can
keep this up until the third inning.
Let's go, the major leaguer.
HE MUST NOT LOSE ANOTHER POINT
-Strike.
-First pitch, strike.
AN EASY START
WITH A MOVING TWO-SEAM FASTBALL!
Good one.
NICE PITCH!
-That's it!
-Nice pitch!
The movements were violent on the outside.
It couldn't be a good hit anyway.
-No.
-Right.
Let's go!
ON THE OUTSIDE AGAIN, STRIKE
Swings and misses, 133km/h.
That pitch had violent movements.
Kim Sun-woo is throwing
two-seam fastballs, right?
-They don't come in a straight line.
-Right.
He showed the ability to control it
on the edge of the strike zone.
HE THROWS IT INTO THE BORDERLINE!
-A short one.
-Get lower.
The count is for Kim Sun-woo.
Swings and misses, strikeout.
THAT'S WHAT HE DOES
On the mound after eight years,
-and it's his first strikeout.
-Looking great!
COME ON!
-Nice pitches.
-Nice pitch!
That changeup was the highlight
of the pitches he threw today.
It went in the most accurately.
And it went into his torso…
A splitter. It was a split changeup.
-An excellent pitch.
-Yes.
He's up against batter eight,
Jung Chang-dae.
-Strike!
-First pitch, strike.
STRIKE
THE TWO-SEAM FASTBALL
FLIES INTO THE BORDERLINE
Great job!
-Nice pitch.
-Go, Sun-woo!
What's going on?
-You got the balance now.
-The major leaguer!
What's most surprising is this.
I thought his speed
would have dropped
since he came on the mound
to play after eight years.
But his control is right on point.
The major leaguer!
You can do this!
THIS TIME, TOWARD HIS TORSO, STRIKE
Take the initiative!
-Okay!
-All right!
He's better than in the first inning.
He's going to throw a strike.
You can hit this now.
It's even better.
The count is for Kim Sun-woo.
What will he do?
-Okay.
-Okay, let's go.
Swings and misses, strikeout.
He strikes out two batters in a row.
HE STRIKES OUT TWO BATTERS IN A ROW!
He returns as the Kim Sun-woo
we always have known.
YES, THIS IS IT!
He'll throw to the fifth inning.
-He can do three innings.
-He can do three.
Definitely.
ASTONISHED
Don't let them have the inning easily.
-One out left in this inning.
-Good!
Batter nine, Ko Myeong-gyu.
Ko Myeong-gyu, let's hit it!
You have to make it out!
KO MYEONG-GYU, ON-BASE 0,400,
SLUGGING PERCENTAGE 0,313
You have to make contact!
Pay back the three strikeouts.
-It's coming.
-The pitch is coming.
-It's a fastball.
-Come into contact.
-Nice!
-First pitch skips off. A foul.
They're just sticking to hitting the ball.
One more point. Make it out!
It dropped well, but it hit the bat.
-Strike.
-Another strike on the outside.
A PERFECT TWO-SEAM FASTBALL
BENDING OUTSIDE
THAT'S INSANE!
Sun-woo came prepared.
He's throwing at 133, 134, 135km/h.
-Yes, exactly.
-That's tough.
-It is.
-It's insane.
It's crazy. He got up to 136km/h.
If he does that now,
what about during his career?
He must've been fantastic.
He seems completely different
when he's on the mound
unlike when he's broadcasting.
He's just like his playing days.
He's serious, he takes the sign.
I'm 47 right now,
and I spent three tough months
preparing for this.
I just want my fans to know
that I was on the mound
throwing like Kim Sun-woo.
That's all I wanted to show them.
That's my goal.
Two strikes, the count is for the pitcher.
ONE MORE STRIKE, THE INNING ENDS
Let's go for a strikeout. Strikeout.
You have to make it out!
-Kim Sun-woo's pitch. What's his choice?
-Strikeout!
How will he pitch?
This game will continue next week.
A MONSTROUS PITCHER, IM JUN-SEO
-Show them!
-The ball drops!
Swings and misses. Strikeout.
STRIKEOUT LOOKING, STRIKEOUT
HE CONTINUES, STRIKEOUT
IM JUN-SEO PULLS THE BATTERS BACK
IT'S TOUGH TO JUMP OVER
INHA UNIVERSITY'S WALL
THE THIRD PITCHER, OH JU-WON
IT'S A HIT!
HE MISSES!
DEEP SIGH
THE FIFTH PITCHER, RHEE DAE-EUN
He pushes.
BUT INHA UNIVERSITY'S BATTERS
DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP
Please!
LAST PITCHER, SONG SEUNG-JUN
IT'S A HIT!
Between the first and second base.
INHA UNIVERSITY RAGES MENACINGLY
OUT OF PITCHERS
THE MONSTERS ARE DONE
THE 8TH PITCHER OF THE MONSTERS
THE 8TH PITCHER
JEONG SEONG-HOON
CURVEBALL, STRIKEOUT
Wait, a ball?
WILL HE BE ABLE
TO SAVE THE MONSTERS?
