A Clean Sweep (2022–2023): Season 1, Episode 25 - Episode #1.25 - full transcript

ON A LONELY MORNING

BUSAN
SAJIK BASEBALL STADIUM

It feels strange.

Coming here makes it more strange.

-Right.
-Yes.

-You never know what's going to happen.
-Gosh.

-It's time for us
-Jeez.

-To say goodbye
-Gosh.

THE MONSTERS LOOK UNEASY

The CK Monsters are
at Sajik Baseball Stadium.

CK MONSTERS ARRIVED
AT SAJIK BASEBALL STADIUM



Busan, the city of baseball.

I already feel the sea breeze of Busan.

Who here has played for Lotte?
Raise your hand.

-If they played even once.
-There are many.

HERE AND THERE

Except for Seung-jun, they're not that…

-Moon-ho.
-Moon-ho.

I played here for 15 years.

-No impact.
-He really had no impact.

THE GIANTS' INVISIBLE BATTER

You played here for 15 years?

IT WAS ALL IN VAIN

Everyone seems happy.

As you all know,
it has been publicized recently



that Manager Lee Seung-yuop of CK Monsters
will move to another team.

He'll transfer.

The manager will make
an important announcement.

Dear viewers, I'm Manager Lee Seung-yuop,
the first manager of CK Monsters.

After today,
I'll transfer to another team.

But CK Monsters will last a long time.

I believe the Monsters
will be together forever.

Please continue to support them
even if I'm not here anymore.

Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SO FAR

THE UNEXPECTED FAREWELL
MAKES EVERYONE SAD

GLOOMY

Did someone die?

I still can't believe it.

We've gotten so close
over such a short time.

All the players felt really unsettled.

"What should we do?"

We still feel that way.

There's a part of our hearts
that somehow feels sorrowful and strange.

THEY'RE SAD TO SEE HIM GO

I feel sad.

And tomorrow is Hyun-in's last day.

ALREADY WORRIED

What are we going to do?

They're all leaving.

EVERYONE IS LEAVING

Some people are calling our show,
"A Clean Employment."

Han Kyeong-been, Yoon Jun-ho,

Ryu Hyun-in, and Lee Seung-yuop.

Now four people are going to KBO.

What's your opinion on that?

Thank you.

BRAZEN LIKE A TOP LEADER

I'M GRATEFUL TOO

Where is Chi Seok-hoon?

About Seok-hoon…

He lacks practice.

A CLEAN SWEEP IS COLD-HEARTED

Did he fall short of expectations?

Seok-hoon…

is practicing daily.

(I'LL BE ON THE SHOW)

"They'll call me someday."

He's on call.

I asked him, "Aren't you coming?"

"They didn't call me."

HOW CAN I GO
WHEN THEY DIDN'T CALL ME?

HE CAN'T LAUGH ABOUT IT

We'll see how hard he tries and decide.

Yoon Jun-ho is in Taiwan
due to a temporary transfer

to the national team.

So we got a backup catcher in a haste.

I'll call the backup catcher.

Backup catcher Yang Eui-ji?

Backup catcher Lee Taek-keun.

Who is it?

Why does he have his head down?

Inha University!

Inha University!

A FAMILIAR FACE?

-It's him.
-Nice catcher.

Hello.

DISCIPLINED

I'm Inha University's
fourth-year catcher Park Chan-hui.

Welcome.

SEASONED FRAMING

PRECISE BLOCKING

POSSESSING POWER AND LONG HITS

PERFECT THROW
THAT DOMINATES THE OPPONENT

TREASURE FOUND AT INHA UNIVERSITY

WELCOME

Hey, take your seat.

All right.

The captain can't be here today
due to the playoff broadcast.

He drew up today's lineup.

Batter one.
Second baseman. Jeong Keun-woo.

Yes, sir.

Batter two. Left fielder. Jung Eui-yoon.

Sorry?

THE LINEUP IS QUESTIONABLE
FROM THE START

Busan High Schoolers are one and two?

Batter three. Right fielder. Kim Moon-ho.

WHAT? KIM MOON-HO IS BATTER 3?

It's because he's from Busan.

-Answer quickly.
-Yes, sir!

BUSAN LINEUP

Batter four. DH. Jeong Seong-hoon.

-Yes, sir.
-What?

Batter five.
Center fielder. Lee Taek-keun.

Yes, sir.

Batter six. Catcher. Lee Hong-ku.

-Yes, sir.
-Wait.

-Catcher Lee Hong-ku?
-Yes.

-Okay.
-What?

WHAT'S WRONG?

DON'T YOU KNOW, HONG-KU?

UPSET

Why don't you trust him?

Captain Park probably didn't know
that Chan-hui was coming.

-Okay.
-If he had known,

Hong-ku would've been cut.

I was double-checking.

Batter seven. Shortstop. Ryu Hyun-in.

Yes, sir.

Batter eight.

-Third baseman. Park Seung-hwan.
-Yes, sir.

Batter nine. First baseman. Seo Dong-wook.

Yes, sir.

Today's starting pitcher is Rhee Dae-eun.

Yes, sir.

TRUSTWORTHY STARTING PITCHER

Today is the manager's farewell game,

so I'll make sure that we don't lose.

I'll do my best

to send him away.

What? "Send him away"?

What do you mean?

(HE FINDS IT FUNNY TOO)

This is how things are in baseball.

I'll put my hands together.

ALWAYS WATCH YOUR BACK(?)

Please say your last resolution.

FINAL RESOLUTION

Let's do our best to play today's game

and finish it with a victory.

LET'S HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION

BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL HAS ARRIVED

THEY BEGIN TO WARM UP

Hello.

I'm the manager
of Busan High School, Park Gye-won.

What is your expectation for today's game?

If the pitchers do as well as I expected,

we'll win three to two.

Do you think you can do better
than Kyungnam High School?

Of course.

Kyungnam lost both games.

We're aiming for two wins.
We'll win today no matter what.

We'll show you
Busan High School's perfect defense play.

I'm confident that
we'll win against them all.

Let's go.

We'll crush you, so you better watch out.

-Okay.
-Good.

Die by a ball, live by a ball.

One ball can kill you or save you.

I'll slaughter them today.

Today we have to say goodbye
to Manager Lee Seung-yuop.

What kind of game will he get as a gift?

Hello, everyone.

A Clean Sweep.
CK Monsters will have a game

against Busan High School.

Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here with me.

-Hello.
-Hello.

We're having a game in Busan
Sajik Baseball Stadium for the first time.

Busan High School plays a strong defense
and has powerful pitchers.

It's a strong team
that won Bonghwangdaegi.

Yes, so what the Monsters have to do today

is pitch strongly and win the first game.

That's right.

I want to win.

I want to win before I leave.

We prepared a lot.

We'll put all our energy into it.

Let's win no matter what.

-Okay.
-Okay.

LET'S GO

YES!

Let's win today's farewell game.

Let's go!

-CK Monsters!
-CK Monsters!

LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS

Today we have a special guest
to throw the first ball.

-Who is it?
-Is there a special guest?

-Dae-ho?
-Is it Dae-ho?

-No way.
-Who is it?

THE GUEST ENTERS

Today's special guest is Yeom Jong-seok.

Who is it?

It's Coach Yeom.

SHOUTING

SEEING THE LEGEND IN PERSON

Awesome.

Yeom Jong-seok is the pitcher

loved by Lotte fans.

To see him in Sajik Baseball Stadium…

Yes.

OCTOBER 14, 1992

THE GIANTS WON THE KOREAN SERIES

HE WAS THE DRIVING FORCE
OF THE VICTORY

Wonderful.

HE ALWAYS HELPED HIS TEAM WIN

YEOM JONG-SEOK IS THE RIGHT-HANDED
PITCHER LOVED BY THE GIANTS

General Manager Jang planned this show

-after watching the victory.
-Of course.

-It's very touching.
-Right.

Let's hear him.

Nice to meet you.

CHEERING

HIS FANS PREPARED A BANNER

I'm Yeom Jong-seok.

This is my first time
stepping on the pitcher's mound

in Sajik Baseball Stadium
since I retired in 2008.

Busan High Schoolers,
my junior baseball players,

congratulations
on winning a national championship.

Also, CK Monsters,

I'm proud of you and I'm very grateful
as a baseball player.

Thank you for inviting me
to a meaningful event.

Thank you.

-Great.
-Yeom Jong-seok led the Giants

to a KBO league victory in 1992.

I look forward to his pitching.

-Slider.
-Make it 140km/h!

I think he'll throw 156km/h.

He'll pitch hard.

YEOM SLIDER

SURPRISED

ASTONISHED

He still got it.

THAT'S CRAZY

Yeom Jong-seok,
the symbol of baseball in Busan,

has successfully thrown the first ball.

Here's the batting order
of Busan High School.

Batter one Kim Tae-eon. Two Lee Dong-eun.

Three Jang Seong-hyeon.
Four Jeong Jae-hwan.

Five Kim Tae-u. Six Yeon Jun-won.

Seven Park Seong-jun. Eight Lee Chan-u.

Batter nine is Park Chan-yeop.

Here is CK Monsters' defense.

Outfielders Jung Eui-yoon,
Lee Taek-keun, Kim Moon-ho.

Infielders from third
are Park Seung-hwan, Ryu Hyun-in,

Jeong Keun-woo, and Seo Dong-wook.

Rhee Dae-eun is the starter.

Catcher is Lee Hong-ku.

TOP OF THE 1ST INNING
BUSAN HIGH 0 : 0 MONSTERS

The game will begin.

Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound.

Currently, he has three wins
and one defeat. The ERA is 1,26.

-It's the lowest ERA of the team.
-Just two.

He has a good sense of playing.

-He needs to throw low from the start.
-Right.

And induce flyouts.

Let's go, Dae-eun!

Be serious.

Today's game will have a big impact
on the Monsters' following games.

Right.

Batter one Kim Tae-eon has won

Bonghwangdaegi's
Distinguished Award this year.

BATTER 1 KIM TAE-EON

We must win to give
Manager Lee a good farewell.

I'll do my best for our team to win.

First pitch.

FOUL

It hits inside the bat.

-Good.
-It's okay.

-Jeez, good swing.
-What?

He didn't make that noise with his mouth.

I heard a swoosh.

He really didn't make that sound
with his mouth.

BRUTAL SWING MAKES THEM NERVOUS

You can hit it.

-Let's do it.
-You can hit it.

This shows how fast he runs.

He had six third-base hits.

Let's go.

HE HITS!

It's a ground ball.
First baseman catches it.

Seo Dong-wook steps on the base first.

One out.

INFIELD GROUND BALL

-Nice.
-Nice play.

NICE, DONG-WOOK

Dong-wook plays good defense.

The ground is good.

-It's very sturdy.
-Yes.

Today, the cheerleaders of Lotte Giants

are cheering
in front of a lot of audience.

There's cheerleader An Ji-hyun.

MONSTERS, LET'S GO

Batter two Lee Dong-eun is at bat.

He stole 19 bases this season.

He's the king of bunts.

He stole 19 bases.

Dae-eun needs to throw
a minimum number of pitches.

He has to pitch
until the sixth or seventh inning.

A SURPRISE BUNT POSTURE

He posed to bunt because he can run fast.

Watch out for a bunt.

Third baseman Park Seung-hwan
got another chance.

He moved down to the grass field
to play defense.

Outside. Two balls.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Good job.
-Nice.

-Good job.
-Good.

Lightly.

Pitcher Rhee Dae-eun

threw two balls
at batter two Lee Dong-eun.

STRIKE

Okay.

GOOD

When Dae-eun is pitching,

-we can watch him comfortably.
-Yes.

The way he throws strikes is good.

The release point is very good today.

It's very good.

The outside ball hits the end of the bat.

The count started with two balls,

but now it's balanced out easily
as two and two.

Good!

-Nice.
-The batter is weak.

He's good at swinging only.

Dae-eun can throw
a four-seam or a splitter.

STRIKEOUT

It's in close to the batter.
Strikeout looking.

A GREAT BREAKING BALL

JEEZ…

-Captain.
-Let's go, Seong-hyeon.

Let's go.

Jang Seong-hyeon, third year.

He's been a main player
since his second year.

HE HITS!

-A high ball. It skips off the bat.
-Third!

DON'T LOSE IT!

You're the only one.

-Third baseman Park Seung-hwan
-Okay.

moves to the foul territory.

He catches it. Three outs.

Okay.

NICE SEUNG-HWAN

The number of pitches is good. Ten.

Okay. Eight innings to go.

Pitcher Rhee Dae-eun
finished the first inning

-with three batters.
-Nice ball.

-Nice catch.
-The number of pitches is good.

PROUD

-It's better than last time.
-What?

I feel better than I did with U-18.

Your fastballs have strength.

Maximum speed, 148km/h.

Is it 148km/h?

It's the bottom of the first inning.

Won Sang-hyeon is on the mound.

He's called the ace
even though he's in his second year.

He throws late 140km/h range.

What's scarier is the curve that drops.

He has a great rhythm in pitching.

I saw his one pitch. It has a big impact.

SWOOSH

Who is that?

His ball is brutal.

The ball must move a lot.

-It must move a lot.
-It does.

He has a Japanese pitching style.

It looks like a Japanese style.

WATCHING

He's in his second year.

WHAT'S UP WITH THEM?

The catcher is great too.

LAUGHING

I don't think we can steal a base.

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

KEUN-WOO STEPS UP TO BAT

Let's go.

PITCHING AGAINST
A BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNUS

Starting with Jeong Keun-woo,
the batters have to make him

throw as many balls as possible.

Yes.

HE HITS!

He hits. A ground ball.

Shortstop catches it.

He throws it to first base. One out.

Okay.

THAT'S OUR ACE

-Nice.
-Good job.

I can't swing the bat.

I'M NOT WARMED UP YET

Second-year students
can't throw like that.

Actually, pitchers throw better
when they're at that age.

Interestingly, Keun-woo is the first
batter and Eui-yoon is the second.

It's Park Yong-taek

who sent and recommended
this lineup to Manager Lee.

This is perfect

because Jung Eui-yoon
isn't the fourth hitter. It's genius.

It's like a powerful batter
is placed second.

I have high hopes.

STRIKE

What?

Here's why
Eui-yoon was surprised by 145km/h.

Because the release point is up front

and the ball moves a lot.

It won't be easy to hit.

You're saying that the pitcher
releases the ball quite late.

-Strike.
-It's a curveball.

HERE'S THE CURVEBALL!

This is his main weapon.

He's a hidden talent.

As expected, you're on a different level.

BRUTAL CURVEBALL

I'LL HIT IT THIS TIME BY ALL MEANS!

He swings and misses! Strikeout.

A STRIKEOUT IN THREE THROWS

HIS OVERWHELMING PITCH
STRIKES THE BATTER OUT

Pitcher Won Sang-hyeon takes
Jung Eui-yoon out with three throws.

-Good curve.
-That curve was a killer.

His curveball is awesome.

Look at it spin.

Because it spins fast, it has a huge drop.

Eui-yoon is struck out with three throws.

Now Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

He's back at Sajik Baseball Stadium

after a 1,112-day hiatus.

Kim Moon-ho!

-Hit it!
-Hit it!

Kim Moon-ho!

-Hit it!
-Hit it!

Kim Moon-ho was called
"a great hitter" here.

He might throw a curveball
instead of a four-seam.

Moon-ho has to go after it.

HE HITS?

He pushes. Third baseman fields it.

He throws it to first base.

-Okay.
-He's out on first base. Three outs.

I HAVE A BAD FEELING

He's a good pitcher.

We're dead.

-What?
-We're in trouble.

A team with good pitchers is hard to beat.

You said Busan High School wasn't good.

I said the batters were weak,
not the pitchers.

-I see.
-The batters are weak.

Two ground balls and one strikeout.

Won Sang-hyeon
finished the first inning clean.

The game starts with zero to zero.

Is he in the second year?

The pitcher? Yes. In the second year.

He's all right. He'll be good.

TODAY'S GAME WON'T BE EASY

Who is the second pitcher?

Didn't Sun-woo tell us?

He was gone for an hour and a half.

General Manager Jang,
how are you feeling today?

I'm nervous.

LAUGHING OUT LOUD

Sun-woo!

SHALL WE KILL HIM?

Who is pitching second?

-Pardon?
-Who is the second pitcher?

What's the pitching rotation?

Pitching rotation!

Aren't I a commentator?

You said you were a pitching coach.

Oh Ju-won.

Or Song Seung-jun. Both.

-Ju-won and Seung-jun both.
-Both.

I feel uncomfortable.

He says he's a commentator.

Why don't Ju-won go second

-and Seung-jun go third?
-Yes, sir.

Who will go fourth then?

Shim Soo-chang and Rhee Dae-eun.

No, Soo-chang and Won-sam.

-Is that all?
-Yes.

Then Won-sam
and Ju-won will warm up together.

-Will you be okay?
-Yes, sir.

The last pair

-will be Seung-jun and Soo-chang.
-Yes, sir.

I don't trust Soo-chang, but…

I'll give you the last victory.

Listen to him talk.

Think of it as a practice game.
Be aggressive. Okay?

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

It's the top of the second inning.

Batter four Jeong Jae-hwan
is the first hitter.

He's called the next Kang Min-ho.

Jeong Jae-hwan, the fourth hitter,
is an offensive catcher.

WILL HE CONTINUE TO PITCH WELL?

The ball flies back. It's a foul.

-Yes.
-I can see he's powerful.

-Okay.
-Good ball.

It's 148km/h!

141KM/H

Don't try to be funny.

-Are you his enemy?
-I want him to be confident.

Busan High plays good defense.

If they score a point,
they can lead the game.

It's a ground ball. Third base foul.

Dae-eun is pitching very skillfully.

He isn't throwing hard.

-Watch it until the end.
-Let's get on base.

It's a series of matches.

Dae-eun has to throw more innings.

He cuts it off again.

It looks like he swings big,
but it's simple.

-He keeps hitting the ball.
-Good job.

Infielders need to focus.

-Strike.
-Outside course. It's in.

Strikeout.

The first hitter Jeong Jae-hwan
is struck out looking. One out.

YES!

Nice ball!

Jeong Jae-hwan
thought the ball was too far.

But it was a perfect fastball.

Batter five Kim Tae-u is at bat.

HE HITS!

He pushes.
It heads straight to right fielder.

Good! It's going well today.

Good ball.

Good job!

I'm shocked by the numbers
on the scoreboard.

He threw 20 pitches. He threw 16 strikes

and four balls.

I hear there's a great pitching coach
on A Clean Sweep.

The pitchers are
so good at throwing strikes.

Why are you surprised?

Batter six Yeon Jun-won is at bat.

His BA is .280.
And 1 home run and 16 RBIs.

He stole nine bases.

Throw 150km/h now.

Dropping ball.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.

IT'S A FORKBALL

CLEAN

-He's good.
-That's it.

RELIABLE

He got three strikeouts.

-Nice ball.
-Rhee Dae-eun

didn't allow anyone to get on base.

He could play for KBO.

DAE-EUN, THE BEARS WANT YOU

-Nice.
-Nice ball, Dae-eun.

HE BECAME A RELIABLE PITCHER!

-Put your arm back more.
-How?

Up to my ear?

-When you throw hard.
-Okay.

Batters, let's score some points.

-Wake up.
-The bottom of the second inning.

CK Monsters will be at bat.

Looking at the way Sang-hyeon throws,
it'll be hard to score.

Jeong Seong-hoon couldn't play last time

because of broadcasting.

Let's go.

STRIKE

It was far, but he called it a strike.

Today's umpire is calling far outside
balls to the right-handed hitters

-as strikes.
-Right.

It's the same for both teams.

Batters need to be aware of it
when they bat.

-Hit one up front.
-Let's go.

Catcher sits outside.

Let's go.

HE HITS!

-He pushes. Second baseman moves.
-Run!

He catches it
and sends it to first safely.

1 OUT

SIGHING…

-Good.
-Great.

Nice.

-Was it a slider?
-Good sliders.

Jeez.

It's like we're against U-18 again.

Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

His batting average is .297
on A Clean Sweep.

HE HITS!

Go!

He hits the dropping ball.

Third baseman catches it. To first base.

He's out on first base.

2 OUTS

Good job.

The ball hit the end of the bat,
so it bounced unevenly.

He was running forward
but stayed back to catch it.

This team has the basic skills down.

Manager Park Gye-won
plays amazing defense.

He was a major league defense coach.

Dong-eun should move this way too.

The score could end up zero to zero
until the sixth inning.

Won Sang-hyeon
has only one out left this inning.

He's against Lee Hong-ku.

Hong-ku had his second home run last time.

HE HITS!

He runs.
It goes straight to third baseman.

THE HIT IS BLOCKED AGAIN

A straight hit.

Jeez. What's going on?

Where are they?

Do they know where the ball will go?

GOOD JOB

Again, Won Sang-hyeon ends the inning
with only three batters.

Both teams are showing
great pitching today.

BUSAN HIGH 0 : 0 MONSTERS

-Let's go, Hong-ku.
-Yes, sir.

Hong-ku.

Dae-eun, don't let them score.

The first hitter is
batter seven Park Seong-jun.

Let's get on base.

Let's finish them with nine balls.

The first pitch is a ball.

Hey.

It's too high.

Let's go.

Park Seung-hwan and Ryu Hyun-in are there.

So he shouldn't worry about
getting a strong hit this way.

A high one close to the batter.
Three balls.

-Get on base!
-Let's go!

No.

-Dae-eun.
-A hit is better.

-It's not good.
-What's wrong?

He said something about a blister.

-Did you say he has a blister?
-Yes.

Oh, my god.

He threw 30 pitches.

It's way off.

A BASE ON BALLS

NO…

Trainer Oh.

-Trainer Oh.
-He went to the bathroom.

What? Bathroom?

Timeout.

-You got blisters?
-Pardon?

-Do you have a blister?
-Yes, I do.

-I had one last time too.
-I see.

Are you okay? Does it hurt when you throw?

It does, but I'm okay.

-I'll get them ready.
-Okay.

-Give me a sign.
-Yes, sir.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

LET'S GO!

I had a blister.

So I knew
I couldn't throw for a long time.

But I had pride as a starting pitcher.

Also, it was the manager's last game.
I couldn't quit then.

He ended up throwing four balls
and letting the batter walk.

SENDING SIGNS
AS SOON AS THE BATTER GETS ON BASE

Now, batter eight Lee Chan-u is at bat.

-Here it is. Chan-u, get on base!
-Let's go!

It's a big variable.

He has to try to keep a perfect rotation.

Go!

HIT AND RUN!

He hits. It goes past the shortstop.

Jeez. What's going on?

First base runner
steps on second and goes to third.

Second!

2ND BASE!

All the way to third base.

GETS ON 3RD BASE

THE BATTER GETS ON 1ST BASE

LET'S SCORE

No outs. Runners on third and first.

It could've been a double play.

Busan High School starts to attack
the Monsters' weakness.

Suddenly this is crazy.

One point is okay.

Dae-eun can stop that one point.

CALLING

Hey.

INFIELDERS MOVE FORWARD

Infielders move up to play defense.

Hyun-in!

WE WON'T LET THEM SCORE
NOT EVEN 1 POINT

Now, batter nine Park Chan-yeop is at bat.

BATTER 9 PARK CHAN-YEOP
HAS A CHANCE TO SCORE

Infielders moved up to play defense.

They'd never let them score a point first.

HITTING!

-He hits the ball.
-Home!

-That's it!
-He got caught!

He's caught at the home plate.

-Ryu Hyun-in's clever choice.
-Good job.

He's tagged out!

Okay.

Hong-ku!

GOOD DEFENSE

One out. Runners on second and first.

-Good.
-Okay.

-Good. Okay.
-CK Monsters' forward defense worked.

-Nice play!
-Hyun-in did a great job.

Dong-wook, check him.

-Dae-eun, how is it?
-Pardon?

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

A double play will do.

NOW IT'S A DOUBLE PLAY!

It's back to Kim Tae-eon.

-It's the top of the batting order.
-Let's go!

Show them!

-Batter one!
-Batter one!

-Batter one!
-Batter one!

HE HITS!

-He hits the first pitch.
-First base.

-He catches it.
-Okay.

-He goes to first base himself.
-Timeout.

He makes the strong hit an out.

-Timeout.
-First baseman Seo Dong-wook.

Nice.

The ball bounced irregularly in the end.

But he didn't lose focus
and did a great job.

MASTER OF DEFENSE, SEO DONG-WOOK

We have to stop them here. Two outs!

Dae-eun, good luck!

2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 3RD AND 2ND BASES

Lee Dong-eun stole 19 bases this season.

Dong-eun.

Check.

(GIVING SIGNS)

If he takes the batter out without a hit,

he can stop them from scoring any points
with runners on bases and no outs.

-Going for a bunt.
-A bunt.

A SURPRISE BUNT

Stop. Don't throw.

-Going for a bunt.
-A bunt.

BUSAN HIGH TRIED A SQUEEZE PLAY

The third base runner had moved forward.

FLUSTERED

It's okay.

The first pitch was a strike.

A foul ball.

Rhee Dae-eun threw a fastball at 143km/h.

Dae-eun is feeling
a lot of pain on the mound.

But he knows that his role is
very important as a starting pitcher.

So he's on the mound
to throw the last pitch.

HE'S GIVING HIS ALL
TO THROW EACH BALL

Outside! He swings and misses! Strikeout!

IT'S ALWAYS THRILLING TO GET A STRIKEOUT!

Okay. Good one.

Nice catch.

I BELIEVED IN YOU

No outs. Runners on third and first bases.

Dae-eun finishes pitching today

without losing any points.

Okay.

Good defense.

Nice strategy.

-Ju-won, are you ready?
-Nice shift.

Let's go, seven, eight, nine!

Here's the first hitter Ryu Hyun-in.

BOTTOM OF THE 3RD INNING
BUSAN HIGH 0 : 0 MONSTERS

There are many players here.

But I was the happiest to see Hyun-in.

I didn't think he'd be here.

Hyun-in will play
today's and tomorrow's game,

-then join KT Wiz.
-That's right.

Hyun-in won't be able to wear
the Monsters' uniform anymore.

-First pitch.
-Let's go, Hyun-in!

Hyun-in has to hit it.

Sang-hyeon, go for it.

Get him!

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch. To the center.

-It goes through. It's a hit.
-The batter is good.

WHY IS HE SO GOOD?

I knew it.

Don't go.

WEEPING

THE FORMER HOPE OF THE MONSTERS

As expected, he's a pro.

Too bad. It was a good pitch.

He snatched it.

He hit it really well.

Good defense and a hit.

That was KT Wiz's Ryu Hyun-in
who became a professional player.

Now it's Park Seung-hwan.

I was worried
if we would see him again or not.

Seung-hwan got another chance.

Last time,
I didn't do a good job as a batter.

So I thought I had to show them this time.

Show them!

You have to make the first hit now.

Make the first hit!

Let's go.

HE HITS!

Okay.

He did it.

He pushes. Center-right.

Right and center fielders.

Right fielder moves to catch it.

-He didn't do it.
-He didn't.

He likes to hit the first pitch.

-Too bad.
-That was close.

SO CLOSE…

The right fielder caught it.
One out. A runner on first base.

1 OUT, A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE

Batter nine Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

Last time,
he had a hit after a long hiatus.

He had multiple hits.

Do you remember the last hit?

-It was a lucky hit.
-Right.

We said things would work out for him.

We can expect that today.

Between first and second bases.

What will his first at-bat be like today?

HE HITS!

Okay.

-Go!
-It worked.

-Catch.
-Move.

It's a slow hit.

-Catcher catches it.
-He hesitates.

-First base.
-He misses it.

The ball wasn't caught.

THAT'S IT!

He did it.

(COVERING HIS MOUTH)

Seo Dong-wook is called safe
on first base.

That was luck.

This keeps happening to Dong-wook.

That should've been an out.

Catcher and pitcher couldn't decide
which one of them would catch it.

He quickly caught it and threw it.
That was perfect.

But first baseman couldn't catch it.

HE GOT ON BASE
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T GIVE UP

CK Monsters is getting a chance
after a crisis.

THERE'S ALWAYS A CHANCE
AFTER A CRISIS

WON SANG-HYEON AND JEONG JAE-HWAN
BATTERY IS SHAKING

Don't panic. It's okay.

Throw your ball. Do your thing. Okay?

You're doing well.

Breathe, okay?

Look at Dong-eun behind you.

You're good.

One out.
Runners on second and first bases.

Jeong Keun-woo
and Jung Eui-yoon are up next.

THE TOP OF THE BATTING ORDER IS NEXT

BUSAN HIGH ALUMNUS KEUN-WOO

-Devil!
-Devil!

Let's go! Come on!

Batter one Jeong Keun-woo
is at bat to grab this chance.

I'LL SHOW YOU THE REAL DEVIL

I'm scared.

-He's scary.
-He is.

-I don't want the ball to come my way.
-Me neither.

I DON'T WANT THE BALL TO COME MY WAY

The seniors are coming up next.

Busan High School alumni are next.

You better throw good ones.

It's high. Quickly to first base.

Safe.

-Nice play.
-Third!

HESITATING

He's running!

-Third!
-Third!

SHOCKED

-He's running!
-He's going to third base!

Ryu Hyun-in

went after the chance!

HYUN-IN, IS IT A FAREWELL GIFT?

Dong-wook, no!

No!

He thought there would be a sign.

When the catcher threw it to first,

he hesitated a little.

So Hyun-in made a judgment and ran for it.

That's Hyun-in.

How did…

He's different.

FURIOUS

When Busan High School
lost its focus for a second,

Ryu Hyun-in didn't miss the chance.

Gosh, Hyun-in.

He should've signed for more salary.

Future of KT!

He got too little.

Runners on third and first bases.

1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 3RD AND 1ST

Now, Keun-woo can hit a fly ball
and score a point.

HIT IT TOWARD THE CENTER!

Watch where it falls.

-Let's go.
-You can get over this!

Let's go.

HE HITS!

HE DID IT!

NO…

He pushes. Center-right.

It falls clean.

-Okay!
-That's it!

Run!

Third base runner comes home leisurely.

First base runner steps on second
and goes to third.

Third!

-Home!
-Go to third!

He goes…

He goes all the way to the home plate!

Keun-woo the devil.

He makes his team score first again.

Okay!

Come on!

I told you we'd score in the second round.

THAT'S THE MONSTERS

NICE PLAY, DONG-WOOK AND HYUN-IN

Nice.

Nice play. Nice, Hyun-in.

PROUD

That's crazy.

CLENCHED TEETH

Busan High School alumnus Jeong Keun-woo

had two runs batted in.
The score is two to zero.

For today's lineup to shine,

-Eui-yoon has to do well.
-Yes.

BATTER 2 EUI-YOON HAS TO DO IT TOO

Come on, strong batter two!

Let's get him!

Let's do it!

Jeez!

Third baseman catches it.

He's out on first base.

Eui-yoon is out due to a ground ball.

A runner is still on second base.

Today, it's very difficult
to score a point.

Yes.

They lost two points to the Monsters

because they made two errors.

You're right.

-It's okay!
-Good!

WON SANG-HYEON WON'T COLLAPSE

Batter three Kim Moon-ho is at bat.

People used to praise him

as a great hitter
in this baseball stadium.

-Show them what you got!
-Great hitter.

-Let's go.
-You can do it.

DON'T GIVE UP, SANG-HYEON!

He needs to make good contact.

HE DID IT!

The ball bounces off the pitcher's glove.

Shortstop catches it.

Out on first base. Three outs.

Didn't he miss it?

SIGHING

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BATTER 3?

What's wrong with him?

There were two hits.

CK Monsters scored two points with them.

The score is two to zero.

I knew you'd do it. Nice batting.

KEUN-WOO, NICE BATTING

Here's your glove.

Hyun-in, nice play.

Keun-woo could hit because you did well.

-Nice.
-Nice.

Nice Hyun-in. Good judgment.

THEY'RE GATHERED AROUND

Why did you lose points for minor things?

-Dong-eun.
-Yes, sir.

Why didn't you watch the play
until the end?

Do the basics well.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Let's go.

-Okay!
-Let's go!

Hands together.

-Let's go!
-Go!

LET'S SCORE POINTS!

It's the top of the fourth inning.

TOP OF THE 4TH INNING
BUSAN HIGH 0 : 2 MONSTERS

Rhee Dae-eun is back
on the mound to pitch.

Batter three Jang Seong-hyeon

has won Bonghwangdaegi's Best RBI Award.

-Hit it!
-Hit it!

Let's go.

We haven't seen a ball like this
in a while.

LAUGHING

Even when he throws like that,

he can smile now. Do you know why?

Because he knows what he did wrong.

This is embarrassing.

IT'S EMBARRASSING

It's okay. You pitched around.

Did you do that to get more airtime?

He almost swung at it, Dae-eun.

Let's go.

He pushes. To the right.

Right fielder knew where it'd fall.

One out.

GREAT HITTER(?) PLAYS GOOD DEFENSE

-He moves well in Busan.
-He's good.

Batter four is at bat.

BATTER 4 JEONG JAE-HWAN

It skips off the bat. It's a foul.

It's 141km/h.

Right.
The previous ball that was totally off

is the four-seam he usually throws.

This time he threw it
at 141km/h close to the zone.

Dae-eun is solving the problem himself.

Let's go!

It falls close to the batter. Strike.

BATTER 4 IS FACED
WITH AN UNFAVORABLE COUNT

Let's go!

The ball drops.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.

Okay.

UNCAUGHT THIRD STRIKE

A throw.

2 OUTS

-Good.
-Very nice.

GOOD JOB

Hong-ku, nice blocking.

Hong-ku has become

a great player.

I wasn't nervous at all.

Look how quickly he moves.

CATCHER LEE HONG-KU
DOES HIS JOB PERFECTLY

Front, back, sides,

and going after a throw.

Rhee Dae-eun

and Lee Hong-ku
made five strikeouts together.

Batter five Kim Tae-u is at bat.

-Tae-u, let's go.
-Let's go.

Let's get on base.

The ball goes way off again.

This is because

-he's thinking about the blister.
-Sorry.

HE'S BOTHERED BY THE BLISTER

Seung-jun.

-Seung-jun.
-Yes, sir.

-Are you okay?
-Yes, sir.

-Are you well today?
-Yes.

Are you?

Manager Lee
is the one to make the decision.

Yes.

The ball kept slipping.

But I was the starting pitcher.

So I couldn't back down.

There hasn't been a runner on base.

A dropping ball.
He swings and misses. Strikeout.

Six strikeouts in four innings.

Nice ball.

EVERYTHING IS A GIFT!

UPSET…

Rhee Dae-eun hasn't let
Busan High School score any points.

The score is still two to zero.

CLAPPING

Nice ball.

-You're reliable, Hong-ku.
-Thank you.

YOU'RE RELIABLE, HONG-KU!

Good job, Dae-eun.

-I'm so embarrassed.
-You did well.

High-five.

You're commanding on the mound.

-Dae-eun.
-What?

Nice play.

Are you okay, Dae-eun?

-Yes, sir.
-Let me see.

-You can throw another inning.
-No. As we said…

Hey.

You should smear it here.

Bleeding and playing.

That's right. Show them.

You can wipe it here.

Let them see it.

BLEEDING YET STILL PLAYING

Hey, this way. Keep showing that.

Show that off.

Good. You have six innings to go.

It's the bottom of the fourth inning.

BOTTOM OF THE 4TH INNING
MONSTERS 2 : 0 BUSAN HIGH

Busan is windy.

The wind is blowing
slightly from the side.

It's blowing like this.

It blows up front then to the side.

The wind is getting stronger.

CK Monsters are at bat. The first hitter

-is batter four Jeong Seong-hoon.
-Batter four!

-Batter four.
-Wind!

-Wind!
-Let's go!

HE HITS!

He hits the first pitch. It's high.

Center-right. Center and right fielders.

Center fielder moves and catches it.

It was in the air for a long time.

So Jang Seong-hyeon
was able to go after it.

GOOD FLOW

Nice.

It's upsetting to be old.

It would've been a home run ten years ago.

Batter five Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

Let's go!

BATTER 5 LEE TAEK-KEUN

Today Won Sang-hyeon

allowed two hits and lost two points.

The result is disappointing,
yet he's been doing a great job so far.

When the other batters
were having a hard time at first,

Taek-keun was able to hit the curveballs.

-Let's go!
-Home run.

Show him. Shoot a rocket.

HE HITS!

It goes over the pitcher.

It goes to the center.

NICE TAEK-KEUN

Nice.

You're home.

LEE TAEK-KEUN GETS ON BASE AGAIN

FURIOUS

One out. A runner on first base.

No matter how much we score,
we're nervous.

So we have to keep scoring
when we have a chance.

Right.

Now it's Lee Hong-ku.

LEE HONG-KU IS HERE

I'm relieved.

Because Hong-ku's batting
has become powerful recently.

But people don't know that.

I love it.

-You're right.
-Only we know this.

In the episodes that aired,

-Hong-ku wasn't a scary batter.
-They say

Seo Dong-wook
and Park Yong-taek are scary.

They aren't scary.

Lee Hong-ku and Ryu Hyun-in are scary.

And center-left…

A big hit goes center-left.

This is what we just talked about.

-Go!
-Run fast!

He steps on second base,

and goes to third.

-Home!
-Home!

He runs to home plate.

Home!

He touches the home base.

-Good!
-Let's go!

THE BATTER GETS ON 2ND BASE

Lee Hong-ku has a hit with one RBI.
The score is three to zero.

He's in.

Hong-ku.

One out. A runner is on second base.

The Monsters are
in scoring position again.

What?

SIGHING…

Ryu Hyun-in is at bat.

THE MONSTERS' ACE IS AT BAT
TO MAKE WON SANG-HYEON FALL

Hyun-in, hit another one.
You have to keep going.

Hyun-in, keep going.

It's your chance.

-Sang-hyeon.
-Good luck.

Let's go. Last one!

WE CAN'T LOSE ANY MORE POINTS

HE HITS!

-He hits.
-He hits again.

It's a hit to the center-right.

-You got it!
-It worked!

Second base runner
touches the home base leisurely.

BUSAN HIGH 0 : 4 MONSTERS

He runs to second base.

Left!

-Hey, third!
-Third!

Third!

He doesn't stop at second base.

-Third!
-Third!

-All the way to third base!
-Third!

He touches third base first.

SAFE

RYU HYUN-IN IS INSANE

Ryu Hyun-in had a three-base hit.

RYU HYUN-IN HAS A 3-BASE HIT
WITH 1 RBI

He's good.

-Okay.
-Hong-ku.

The score is four to zero.

Ryu Hyun-in drew our attention
to his performance.

SHOUTING!

The distance is super long.

Why is he so good?

Won Sang-hyeon has been pitching well.

Sang-hyeon, your pitch is a little high.

You did a good job.

But he finally steps down from the mound.

If you throw high,

because they have power, they hit well.

So throw low, okay?

Now, the second pitcher
Ye Geon-u is on the mound.

The defense will move up,
so throw low pitches.

-Make them hit ground balls.
-Okay.

Ye Geon-u is in his second year.

He's 176cm tall. He isn't that tall.

He's short. Does he throw a sidearm?

It seems like he's good.

The maximum speed
of his sidearm pitch is 142km/h.

He's small, but he can throw 142km/h.

The average speed is 137km/h.

Changeups and curveballs
are his specialties.

-Curveballs and changeups.
-Okay.

Batter eight Park Seung-hwan is at bat.

Let's score one more point!

The first pitch is a strike.

TRUSTWORTHY PITCHER

-Nice ball.
-Nice ball!

Park Seung-hwan has to score a point here.

-Because it's one out.
-Right.

Hit it if you see it.

A FULL-TIME POSITION
DEPENDS ON TODAY'S HIT

Outside. It's a strike.

In general, Busan High School's pitchers
have good pitching forms.

Yes.

He's short, but he throws well.

-He must be flexible.
-Hyun-in, you're next.

The count is favorable to the pitcher.

He swings and misses. Strikeout.

-Okay!
-Nice ball.

-It was close.
-It's two outs.

YE GEON-U STOPPED THE MONSTERS

Okay!

-We're behind you.
-We got your back.

Two outs. A runner on third base.

Batter nine Seo Dong-wook is at bat.

Two, three. Cover base.

Dong-wook had lucky moments today.

Yes.

THE MONSTERS' FOUR-LEAF CLOVER

The thing is, Dong-wook

isn't able to have a hit.

But he receives four balls
and gets on base.

Right.

Then Jeong Keun-woo gets on base next.

A WALK FOLLOWED BY KEUN-WOO
RESULTS IN SCORING

Seo Dong-wook is a lucky batter.

It goes close to the batter.
Four balls straight.

Dong-wook gets on first base again.

The Monsters' big picture
is always like this.

It's Keun-woo's turn again.

2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 3RD BASES

Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.

JEONG KEUN-WOO THE DEVIL IS AT BAT

Keun-woo is here.

-Is it Jeong Keun-woo?
-Right.

Again? It's third and first bases.

-It's a crisis.
-He had a hit last time.

It's deja vu.

He's too good. He's too good at batting.

DISTURBED

Busan High School alumnus Jeong Keun-woo.

Timeout.

INTENTIONAL WALK

(SMILING)

LAUGHING

Hey.

INTENTIONAL WALK?

It's an intentional walk.

It's because there's Jung Eui-yoon.

This is a huge test for Eui-yoon.

-Yes.
-Not just batter four,

-but batter two is also important.
-Right.

BATTER 2 HAS A CRUCIAL ROLE

He gets attention in any position.

Hey, Eui-yoon.

-Jeez.
-What?

Eui-yoon.

BATTER 2 JUNG EUI-YOON IS AT BAT

-They think you're a weak batter.
-Guard your pride.

-Eui-yoon!
-A weak batter.

If you don't hit, you'll be a weak batter.

Let's go!

-If he doesn't hit…
-It'll be really uncomfortable.

-Is that right?
-Let's go.

-You better have a hit.
-What?

Will Jung Eui-yoon,

a Busan High School alumnus,
be a problem solver?

Bases are loaded.

-Get him!
-Geon-u!

BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL'S LEGEND VS

BUSAN HIGH SCHOOL'S FUTURE

HE HITS!

Run.

-He did it!
-You can do it!

Okay!

He hits the ball close to him. It's slow.

The pitcher catches it.

-First base!
-Gosh.

They crash and fall.

3 OUTS

NO

-Are you okay?
-I'm okay.

-First baseman Kim Tae-u fell.
-Are you okay?

Fortunately, he gets up.

-Are you really okay?
-Yes, sir.

-Is your back okay?
-Yes.

-Slowly.
-They crashed as he was in defense.

So it doesn't seem serious.

-It's a relief.
-Thank goodness.

THANKFULLY, 1ST BASEMAN KIM TAE-U
ISN'T BADLY INJURED

Jeez, what was that?
The bases were loaded!

FURIOUS

You can't ram a kid like that.

YOU CAN'T RAM A KID WITH THAT BODY

UPSET

Jeez!

JEEZ!

This is humiliating.

SNICKERING

How many loaded bases was that?

HOW MANY LOADED BASES WAS THAT?

I'm so mad.

-Jeez.
-It was two outs.

Gosh.

The inning is over.

CK Monsters scored two points this inning.

The score is four to zero.

It's the bottom of the fifth inning.

CK Monsters will be at bat.

The first hitter is Kim Moon-ho.

Three, four. Two, three, four!

Busan High School alumnus
Jung Eui-yoon couldn't do anything.

Kim Moon-ho, who is back here
after a 1,112-day hiatus,

hasn't had a hit yet.

Recently, he's been doing well.

I'm sure he wants to show off
in Sajik Baseball Stadium.

Of course.

-Giant's Heart.
-Who?

Kim Moon-ho was a close friend
of Giant's Heart.

-He was a close friend.
-Yes.

-You surprised me.
-Moon-ho! Show them!

WHACK!

NO…

He hits. It's high.

Left fielder takes care of it. One out.

(STARING)

-Moon-ho.
-Yes, sir.

-Did you bat?
-Did you do something?

No impact.

I'm a defensive player.

What do you mean?
He's bad at playing defense.

NO EXCUSES

He's bad at playing defense.

Jeong Seong-hoon
is back after three weeks.

It's a hit-by-pitch.

SEONG-HOON GETS HIT BY A PITCH
AND FLOPS DOWN

Did he get hit in the elbow?

His back arm was hit.

-Was his back arm hit?
-Yes.

Like this.

I hope he's okay.

I hope he was just surprised by the pain.

The ball was completely off.
He moved his arm to dodge the ball.

HE TRIED TO DODGE THE BALL

The ball brushed against his shirt
and hit his elbow.

The tip of his hand suddenly curled up.

His hand was curled up momentarily.

You should be able
to move your arm again soon.

Can you move your arm?

-Just your elbow?
-It's tingling and painful.

-My hand is frozen.
-It's the funny bone.

We'll have to strap your arm
and monitor it.

I think I need to strap it.

BOWING, IT'S OKAY

I can't move it.

-Please undo it. I can't move my arm.
-Okay.

-Umpire.
-Yes.

Park Chan-hui. First base pinch runner.

-Number 25.
-Okay.

It's okay.

Seong-hoon keeps saying that he's okay.

Trainer Oh Se-hun is checking his arm.

Didn't you get sharp pain?

-He did.
-I did.

Ice it quickly.

It looks like he's going to be okay.

Park Chan-hui is the pinch runner.

Chan-hui got a lot of attention
as Inha University's catcher.

He took over Yun Joon-ho's vacancy.

Let's see how he does.

Lee Taek-keun is at bat.

PITCHER YE GEON-U
TAKES A DEEP BREATH

Geon-u is taking a deep breath.

-He's only 18 years old.
-He's really shocked.

-Yes.
-He's very young.

So he could be very shocked.
But it's really okay.

Geon-u, it's okay.

Be confident.

It's okay, Geon-u. Be confident.

Geon-u, it's okay!

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS
AN UNBREAKABLE HEART

It comes in close to the batter.
It's a strike. Strikeout.

Geon-u must've been startled.

But he pitched aggressively.
Taek-keun goes back to the dugout.

Two outs. A runner on first base.

Batter six Lee Hong-ku is at bat.

He had a big hit previously.

LEE HONG-KU, LINE DRIVE,
2-BASE HIT, BA .333

The ball goes too far off.
He runs to second base.

Park Chan-hui gets on second base.

His hand is a bit curled.

Geon-u has to keep this in mind.

Ryu Hyun-in is a scarier batter.

Lee Hong-ku had one hit
in two at-bats today.

He hits.

-It's a good hit to the left.
-Hong-ku.

-Yes!
-Hong-ku.

-Hong-ku can bat.
-Go!

-Run fast!
-He has to come home.

Second base runner steps on third.

The ball is sent to the home base.

PLEASE…

It's thrown to the home base.

THAT'S IT!

PLEASE…

It's thrown to the home base.

He's safe!

NO…

-Yes!
-Safe.

BUSAN HIGH 0 : 5 MONSTERS

-I'm glad we had a pinch runner.
-No mistake.

Good job.

Lee Hong-ku made another hit!

-Hong-ku!
-Hong-ku!

Park Chan-hui scores for the first time.

-Why do you high-five like this?
-What's this?

-What's this?
-Is it martial arts?

He's too polite.

What a polite high-five.

With another timely hit,
the score became five to zero.

Now it's batter seven Ryu Hyun-in.

He had a three-base hit and a hit.

-He needs a two-base hit and a home run.
-Right.

He's a player who wants
his memories of A Clean Sweep

to be wrapped up with a home run.

Of course.

The hits he has here
will be in his memory forever.

Right.

Center-right.

He makes contact!

He makes contact!

The ball travels high and far!

IT'S GONE!

It's gone.

He makes contact!
The ball travels high and far!

It goes behind center fielder.

But the center fielder catches the ball
in front of the wall.

That ball traveled the furthest
in this stadium,

but it gets intercepted.

The inning ends here.

But the Monsters managed to get an run
this inning. The score is five to zero.

MONSTERS ADD A RUN TO THEIR SCORE

Darn it!

That was so close to a home run.

HE SUDDENLY GETS EMOTIONAL

It's now the top of the sixth.

Hey!

114KM/H

-It's 114km/h.
-It's 114km/h.

Get out of there!

Get out of there!

It's quite far.

-It's not that?
-No.

Come out of there.

Rhee Dae-eun takes the mound
on the sixth once again.

Since the third, he forced poor swings
from nine hitters in a row.

That guy's still pitching.

FRUSTRATED

And he's been showing us
his powerful pitching

-by striking out eight pitchers.
-Yes.

The most strikeout pitches
the Monsters had in a single game

were nine strikeout pitches
by Yoo Hee-kwan

when he played against Dong-eui
and allowed three runs.

If he can pitch one more strikeout,

then his strikeout pitch record
will tie with Hee-kwan's.

This also means Hong-ku is leading him
very well to throw good pitches.

That's right.

Defense!

The pitcher is against the leadoff hitter,
Park Chan-yeop.

Rhee Dae-eun with eight strikeout pitches.

The outside pitch grazes the bat's end.

The outside pitch grazes the bat's end.

Shortstop fields it
and throws it to first.

The hitter is out on first. One out.

He forces poor hits ten consecutive times.

-He even threw 70 pitches.
-Right.

Did he pitch a lot?

On average, 75 pitches for 5 innings.

Four innings would be sixty pitches.

Which means he didn't pitch that much.

If Rhee Dae-eun
didn't have his blisters today,

he might've set a new record.

A new record.

We don't specify what record it is

because if we predict the record
before it actually happens,

the players usually fail
to set a new record.

That's why I'm always careful
about predicting it early on in the game.

Anyway, Dae-eun has been
pitching absolutely perfectly.

Next up is Kim Tae-eon.

He goes for a bunt.

BALL

A bunt now? It's five to zero you know.

Let him hit it!

What he has to do now is not be greedy.
He should relax and pitch.

He pitches outside. Another ball.

Let's go out!

Rhee Dae-eun is pitching well,
very calmly.

He's doing fine.

You can do it!

Both pitches were balls.

He pitches too high again.

HIS PITCHES ARE
COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ZONE

My body feels heavier.

(JUST ONE MORE)

Let's get on base!

Dae-eun, force a ground ball.

The count is three and zero.
He needs a strike.

I MUST RELAX AND PITCH INTO THE ZONE

FOUR BALLS

He pitches too high again.
His streaks of good pitching end here.

My goodness. He's out of power.

Oh, no.

A hitter gets to first with a walk.

(IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE)

I think he tried to force a ground ball,
but failed.

A runner on first with an out.

Let's do this.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

MANAGER PARK SENDS SIGNALS

(ONE STEP MORE?)

GLANCING

HE NODS IN CONSENT

-Tries to pick first off.
-Nice timing.

He's concerned about the runner.
He wants to keep him under control.

Great job!

Dae-eun's steps are big.

So he'll attempt a steal.

Get ready, Hong-ku.

-A double play would be the best.
-Right.

Run!

He starts running. To second base!

He starts running. To second base!

He's safe on second. He steals the base.

LET'S CHASE THEM DOWN

Rhee Dae-eun and Lee Hong-ku
let him steal a base.

A runner on second with an out.

He's in scoring position.

Manager Lee decides to keep the pitcher.

For a starting pitcher,

QS is an indicator
that the pitcher is evaluated under.

Right.

And because he wants to throw
a quality start,

Manager Lee is putting his trust in him.

And right now, if he throws
one more strikeout,

he'll have the most strikeouts
along with Hee-kwan.

THAT IS WHY
HE MUST DEFEND THIS INNING

STRIKE

He pitches outside for a strike.

Nice pitch!

"I can't let him advance.
I need to throw a strikeout."

That's what I had in mind.

Dae-eun's in a crisis of allowing a run.

The count is two and two.

The breaking ball drops low!
It's a strikeout!

HE OVERCOMES THE CRISIS HIMSELF

Nice!

Gosh, what just happened?

The most strikeouts pitched in a game!

His record ties with Hee-kwan's!

Nine strikeouts? Let's get one more.

It's getting chilly this evening.

Dae-eun keeps his cool like the weather.

Next up is Jang Seong-hyeon, batter three.

The runner is still on second.

It's a ground ball.

It's a ground ball.

Shortstop fields it.
He throws it to first!

The hitter is out on first!

Wow, nice!

-Come here!
-Yes!

-Good work.
-Good job.

Six innings pitched, but allowed no runs.

Starting pitcher, Rhee Dae-eun!

(TODAY'S MVP IS YOURS)

-Great work.
-Thank you.

I mean it. Good job.

-Hey, good job.
-Thank you.

Your breaking balls today…

ARE YOU A WIZARD?

I know, right?

TOP OF THE 7TH INNING
BUSAN HIGH 0 : 5 MONSTERS

-My shoulders!
-What about them?

I feel confident.

Manager Lee's pick was

Jang Won-sam as the next pitcher.

But I'm a bit apprehensive
about the state of his condition.

We've been apprehensive for five months.

HE'S HARSH

It's time for him to show us something.

If Jang Won-sam was in his best condition,

there would be no pitcher
that throws better than him.

Of course.

If you just look at the number of wins,

there is no pitcher
that has more wins than Won-sam.

He won over 120 games in the KBO.

And he's the second pitcher today.

-My shoulder doesn't hurt when I'm here.
-Really?

It hurts when I'm warming up.

So fast. It's 123km/h.

Gosh, I need to try harder.

The fall season must really suit him.

Don't wait too long until winter.

Looks good!

(HE GLANCES)

A bit faster, at 124km/h.

-Good luck.
-Okay.

What a good speed for the hitters.

HE'S EXPECTING GOOD RESULTS

The second pitcher, Jang Won-sam,
is against the fourth hitter.

-Jae-hwan, let's go!
-Come on!

Be confident!

I WON'T ALLOW A RUN

HE HITS!

He makes contact.
The hit falls to the center.

-Darn.
-He threw a fastball.

The first hitter gets on base.

-Let's go!
-Come on!

-Yes!
-We're coming back!

-Nice!
-A home run next time!

Jang Won-sam allows a runner.

I have a bad feeling.

No need to rush. Just play safely.

HE'S ANXIOUS

A runner on first with no outs.

Next up is the fifth hitter, Kim Tae-u.

Don't hit the dropping pitches.
Go for changeups.

Go and show them!

He must not allow another runner.

NO MORE RUNNERS

-Okay!
-Strike!

-Darn.
-Nice changeup.

HAPPY AND BITTER

Let's go faster.

He pitches outside for a strike.

His pitches are good.

That was a close one
right on the border of the zone.

A favorable count for Won-sam.

His putaway pitch must be low and precise.

Low and precise.

Let's see.

WHAT WILL BE
THE 121-WIN PITCHER'S CHOICE?

He drops it low!
Swings and misses, strikeout!

HE PERFECTLY BEATS THE HITTER
WITH A BREAKING BALL

Nice!

I TOLD YOU NOT TO SWING FOR THOSE…

Why couldn't you do that earlier?

Sorry.

With a breaking ball,

he gets his first out.

Next up is batter six, Yeon Jun-won.

Manager Park Gye-won sends signals.

HE ORDERS A PLAN

They're cooking something up.

ANOTHER STRATEGY?

HE SUDDENLY FEELS ANXIOUS…

He bunts.

-Goodness.
-Darn you, why would you bunt?

Nice try. They're attempting to shift
the momentum by trying new things.

When you look at the numbers
within the Monsters,

we can find the pitcher
who was the weakest against bunts.

-It was Jang Won-sam.
-You're right.

He even cried in the dugout.

When there's a bunt,
it's always against Won-sam.

Careful for the breaking ball.

MANAGE PARK'S VICIOUS ATTACKS

-Come on.
-You got this.

BUSAN HIGH 0 : 5 MONSTERS

HE SIGHS

HE HITS!

It grazes the end of the bat
and goes over the wall.

The count is favorable again for Won-sam.

His pitches are coming back.

Won-sam is focused on pitching outside
against right-handed hitters.

What will he pitch this time?

Hong-ku asks for an inside pitch.

HE SIGHS

-Inside.
-It accurately goes into the zone!

He's struck out looking!

INSIDE! WOW!

GREAT JOB, WON-SAM!

-That's how you do it!
-Jang Won-sam!

THEIR JAWS DROP IN AWE

Jang Won-sam strikes out
two hitters in a row!

I still remember
what Jang Won-sam was known for.

When he's against a right-handed hitter,

he pitches inside so precisely.

It was his forte.

He was rated the best inside pitcher
to pitch against right-handed hitters.

His strongest pitch worked again today.

Currently, two outs.

Next up is Park Seong-jun.

HE'S VERY NERVOUS?

An outside pitch.

An outside pitch.

He makes contact by pushing back.

It's a fly ball. Shortstop catches it.

Three outs.

I HATE YOU… THE MAN OF FALL…

This inning was neatly defended

-Easy.
-by Jang Won-sam.

Next is the bottom of the seventh.

Gosh, I love this chilly breeze!

Great job, Man of Fall!

-I'm about to pass out.
-Already?

Gosh, Won-sam.

I'm dead tired. Why am I so tired?

SO CHARISMATIC

I knew you would do well this season.

THE MAN OF FALL

This is the bottom of the seventh.

There's been a change of pitchers.
Jung Hyeon-ho takes the mound now.

From what I just saw,
he has quite a unique pitching style.

If you look at this form,

it seems like he'll pitch underhand,
but switches to three-quarter.

I see.

-He goes down low and…
-So it's kind of like underhand,

but it's a three-quarter style
near the side.

Keep pitching like that.

-Win the first pitch.
-Yes, sir.

His pitches might be difficult to time.

What kind of pitch will he throw?

STRIKE

First pitch is a strike.

HE SMILES

-Nice pitching!
-Come on!

-Good.
-Good job!

HE HITS!

Nice pitch!

He makes contact. Right fielder.

-Right!
-Right!

-In front of you!
-In front of you!

Please be a foul.

-It's a foul.
-Foul.

It's definitely a foul.

In front of you!

Right fielder! In front of you!

-Right!
-Right fielder.

He finds where the ball will land.

He fails the diving catch!
It rolls beyond the foul territory!

-Go to second!
-Nice.

He's safe.

-Throw it to third!
-Third.

-Third!
-Third!

Lee Taek-keun gets on second base safely.

A satisfying double by Lee Taek-keun!

Nice batting!

No!

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING…

HE'S ENRAGED

Also, it's very windy tonight.

-I see.
-Yes.

When we were preparing for the game
in the afternoon, it was quite hot.

But you can see that the pieces of cloth
on the wall are about to blow away.

That means that the wind became strong,
and the climate is different.

We expected the hit to be an ordinary
fly ball into the right field.

But because of the wind,
the ball traveled further in.

A DEFENSE ERROR DUE TO THE WIND

Don't let them hit far due to the wind.

Watch the wind!

Tell the defense to shift forward
against the wind.

-It's windy!
-Check the wind!

Center fielder and right fielder
shifted closer.

It's due to the wind.

But it feels like Hong-ku is strong enough
to beat the wind.

-Of course.
-His batting is that good.

Any pitcher against Hong-ku
must play cautiously today.

A runner in scoring position with no outs.

Lee Hong-ku as the hitter after a double.

An outside pitch. A strike.

Hong-ku!

I SEE HOW IT IS…

BUSAN HIGH 0 : 5 MONSTERS

It skips off his bat.

Darn.

THAT WAS CLOSE…

An unfavorable count for Hong-ku.

I feel like he's going to hit a big one.

A runner in scoring position.

HE MUST NOT LOSE THIS CHANCE

Let's see how it turns out.

He makes contact.

He makes contact. It flies up again.

Keep the wind in mind as well.

Call for the ball!

CALL FOR THE BALL!

The players must call the ball.

Shortstop catches the ball.

DARN IT…

I guess you were ambitious today.

No, not at all.

It's all right.

A runner on second with an out.

Next up is Ryu Hyun-in, batter seven.

I was hung up on hitting a home run
since my second appearance.

I was determined
to hit at least one homer.

Ryu Hyun-in had a single
and a triple today.

It's outside.

Nice!

HYUN-IN CALMLY WATCHES THE BALL

Ryu Hyun-in expressed his will
to prove himself with something big

before he leaves the team.

I hope he does.

I understand the situation is hard,
and it's windy,

but he really proved his potential
on A Clean Sweep.

-That's true.
-That's why we have our trust in him.

Face him head-on!

A ball outside.

Hyun-in is waiting for the right ball.

-Come on!
-Go!

-Don't back down!
-Don't back down!

EXTREMELY NERVOUS

A foul goes behind.

HE NODS

Good swing.

Batter three. Swing like him.

-But…
-No.

All the pitches came in from outside.

I think he'll be a .400 hitter
in the college league.

I think above that.

Really?

A runner on second with an out.

The Monsters still hold the chance.

Good job.

Ryu Hyun-in is the one
to turn the chance into a run.

For today, his swing should be big.

Of course.

All I had in mind was
to swing for the next valid pitch.

Another chance to hit for me. Bring it.

Let's go!

Hyun-in took a big swing.

He makes contact!

THE BALL FLIES UP TO THE RIGHT!

-The right field!
-It's gone!

THEY YELL IN EXCITEMENT

It's a goner!

-Wow!
-It's gone.

Nice!

-Nice!
-Hyun-in!

WHAT WAS THAT? HYUN-IN!

NO WAY

HE FORCEFULLY LAUGHS

-It's a goner!
-It's gone!

-It's a goner!
-It's gone!

This ball travels…

in the night sky!

HE MAKES CONTACT!

THIS BALL TRAVELS…

IN THE NIGHT SKY!

THAT WAS INSANE, HYUN-IN!

-Finally, Ryu Hyun-in!
-Yes!

At last! He shows us a home run!

MAN, YOU DID IT!

WE WON'T LET YOU LEAVE US!

Ryu Hyun-in!

HE SHOUTS IN JOY!

-Who hit a homer?
-Hyun-in.

-What?
-Hyun-in.

A two-run homer!

At last, he shows everyone
what he was waiting to show them!

Hyun-in!

Good swing.

HE'S PROUD OF HYUN-IN

So stylish!

WOW…

Ryu Hyun-in says goodbye to A Clean Sweep…

A TWO-RUN HOMER

…with a home run!

RYU HYUN-IN SAYS GOODBYE

BUSAN HIGH 0 : 6 MONSTERS

Ryu Hyun-in with a two-run homer.

The score is seven to zero.

-A good day for you, Hyun-in.
-Yes, sir.

When I look at Hyun-in…

LEE TAEK-KEUN

…I feel like I'm his dad.

When I first saw Hyun-in,
he was very different from now.

I can sense that
he's now a real pro baseball player.

It's a big shame.

JANG WON-SAM

It's truly a shame.

But it'd be unfair for just us to watch
the beautiful and amazing plays

made by Ryu Hyun-in.

I sincerely hope that he'd show his fans
great plays in the pro scene.

He can't leave us now.

-Ryu Hyun-in!
-Ryu Hyun-in!

-A pro player!
-Nice, buddy!

Hyun-in! Come here.

Don't leave us.

HYUN-IN'S LAST GIFT TO THE MONSTERS

Hey, don't go!

Nice job, Hyun-in.

-"KT Wiz will now announce our draft."
-Nice batting.

-Wow.
-"From Dankook University,

Ryu Hyun-in!"

DANKOOK'S INFIELDER, RYU HYUN-IN!

KT Wiz is going to have a good year.

KT WIZ IS LUCKY TO HAVE HIM

Hyun-in, I won't let you leave.

You know, players who have been with us
from the beginning,

they had made us great and beautiful
memories as they left.

Han Kyeong-been, Ryu Hyun-in…

HE SUDDENLY GETS EMOTIONAL

Thank you so much.

HE SUDDENLY GETS EMOTIONAL

I'm feeling a bit emotional because…

I think it's time to send them off now.

They already proved themselves here
according to their wishes.

We have no more reason…

to make Ryu Hyun-in stay on our team.

Through Ryu Hyun-in,

we made fond memories as a team.

That's why I understand
why Sportscaster Jeong feels this way.

Ryu Hyun-in really proved himself
with style.

The two-run homer was a great one.

THE TWO STAY SPEECHLESS

Ryu Hyun-in will now leave the Monsters.

-Hey.
-Yes, sir?

-Was it your first homer?
-Yes, sir.

Hyun-in!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Hyun-in!

You're the MVP today!

A GRAND TREATMENT
ONLY FOR THE HOME-RUN HITTERS

Everyone, don't go for MVP today.

BUT WHAT ABOUT MY BLISTER PITCHING?

-Have you not received MVP yet?
-I got it once.

-I mean Dae-eun.
-I got none.

Goodness.

It's fine. You're leaving us anyway.

I can always get MVP later.

GOSH…

HE IS ABOUT TO FLIP HIS LID

Is it seven to zero?

Gosh, this is crazy.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS…

THEY FEEL LETHARGIC…

-This is crazy.
-They are insane today.

How can he be so good?

Two home runs.

THE MOMENTUM SHIFTS

Ten bases stolen.

HE SIGHS…

Timeout.

Good work.

He switches the pitcher.

Control the ball and pitch low.

The zone is bigger than we think.

Number eight?

The next pitcher is Cheon Gyeom.

They say he has great control.

-Gyeom, face him head-on.
-It's not over yet.

-Cheon Gyeom, focus!
-Yes, sir.

Seung-hwan! Swing with confidence!

Seung-hwan has to prove himself now.

I NEED TO PROVE MYSELF TOO…

Hey!

He hits the first pitch.

THE BALL GOES TO THE RIGHT AGAIN

It goes to the right behind right fielder.

NO WAY

-Nice!
-Nice!

It goes to the right behind right fielder.

He calculates his catch well. Two outs.

-Nice!
-Okay.

Good pitching.

In the box is Seo Dong-wook.

The reason why the Monsters is so loved
is because of Dong-wook's homer.

Swings and misses. Strikeout.
The inning ends.

But Ryu Hyun-in hit
a two-run homer this inning.

The score is seven to zero.

Let's not feel down.

-Bring it in.
-Good luck, pitcher.

TOP OF THE 8TH INNING
BUSAN HIGH 0 : 7 MONSTERS

Shim Soo-chang takes the mound.

SHIM SOO-CHANG, EXPERT IN CRISIS?

Shim Soo-chang switched
his style to underhand.

But he switched back to overhand.

What's your opinion on that?

From your perspective,
as the one who insisted that he change.

I apologize.

I think I overestimated Shim Soo-chang.

-The very art of coaching is…
-Yes.

maintaining your composure
and not bragging.

I learned a valuable lesson in life.

HE PITCHES LIKE A STORM

What was that?

Slower than Won-sam? Is it 115km/h?

I just need 120km/h.

IT'S FINE, I JUST NEED 120KM/H

(GLANCING)

It's 118km/h.

-Good luck.
-Thank you.

Today's the first game

Park Chan-hui is playing as the catcher.

His defense is immaculate.
That's Park Chan-hui.

Indeed.

-Lee Chan-u, the first hitter.
-Let's get out there!

Let's do this, Chan-u!

-Run!
-He makes contact.

He makes contact. It bounces.

Shortstop dashes in
and throws it to first.

He throws on the run!

-Nice!
-He's good.

A PERFECT HOMER AND DEFENSE

Gosh, he's so good at baseball.

HE IS ASTONISHED
BY THE OPPONENT'S SKILLS

What was that?

Gosh, Hyun-in.
Are you a major leaguer or something?

JUST MARVELS AT HIS DEFENSE

He not only fielded it into his gloves,
but he took it out from his mitt.

And he did that so quickly.

Performing that move quickly is the key.

An amazing player.

He's playing baseball
as if he was dancing.

I hope we can see him again.

A perfect defense by Ryu Hyun-in.

Thank goodness you decided
to join our show.

Such talent.

WE DON'T WANT YOU TO GO

The pinch hitter,
Park Jae-yeop enters the box.

Soo-chang, you're doing well!

A FORKBALL GRIP!

It's a foul.

Shim Fork!

Your ERA is lower now. It's at 8,00s now.

Nice forkball.

Back in the day,
his forkball was magnificent.

Right.

Show them a 130km/h fastball!

You haven't lost touch!

Let's go!

It grazes the end of the bat.

WHY WOULD YOU SWING?

Hey!

Swing lightly!

Go for higher pitches.

The ball drops low.
Swings and misses, strikeout.

Not out yet though. To first.

That was for the second out.

No!

THIS IS DRIVING US NUTS

I'm a forkballer.

HE'S PROUD OF HIMSELF

Next up is Kim Tae-eon.

Watch out for the low breaking balls.

Don't hit the low pitches.
Go for the high ones.

The ball breaks down.

I'm sure he hasn't had much experience
with these kinds of breaks.

That's right.

Control!

HE DIDN'T SWING…

He holds back once again.

-Nice!
-Good job!

GOOD EYE

We need a strike.

SOO-CHANG, PITCH A STRIKE…

Three balls.

(HE GLANCES ANXIOUSLY)

-Oh, no.
-No, Soo-chang.

IT IS ANOTHER CRISIS…

Get it together.

HIS EYES SHAKE FOR THE SECOND TIME

He didn't swing a single time

against a pitch that drops from the zone.

Pitch a little further!

WHAT WILL BE HIS NEXT PITCH?

What will it be this time?

He pitches high,
but it goes out of the zone. Four balls.

THIS IS A CHANCE!

A runner with two outs.

ALLOWS A RUNNER WITH ONE OUT LEFT

A runner on first with two outs.

Next up is batter two, Lee Dong-eun.

The ball comes slowly,
so swing as late as possible!

We need a hit into the center-right!

Show them your forkball!

Pitch it until it works!

He makes contact.

He makes contact.

A hit into the center field.

First base runner goes for third.

-Third base!
-Hurry!

Second!

Stop there.

He safely goes onto third.

-Yes!
-Good job!

LET'S CATCH UP!

2 RUNNERS IN A ROW WITH 2 OUTS

Shim Soo-chang allows two runners
after two outs.

Their attempt to score runs is good,
although they have two outs.

And from where Busan High stands,
they want more pitchers to play today

as there's another match
against them tomorrow.

I mentioned Manager Lee
isn't playing Oh Ju-won.

On the other hand,
Soo-chang should not allow any runs.

Next up is the third hitter,
Jang Seong-hyeon.

Runners on first and third.

JANG SEONG-HYEON
HAS THE CHANCE TO SCORE

Make it happen.

He swings against the breaking ball.

You shouldn't be swinging for that!

Don't get tricked, Seong-hyeon.

GOT TRICKED LIKE A SITTING DUCK

Shim Soo-chang must stay strong
and play aggressive

to defend the inning
without allowing any runs.

SOO-CHANG'S PITCHING
MAKES THE GAME INTERESTING

It's in the zone!

STOP THE FORKBALL!

Don't swing for that pitch!

Shim Soo-chang is getting
a favorable count with his breaking ball.

Come on, this is almost the end!

Soo-chang, this is it!

-You can overcome this.
-Let's go!

Go for it!

A breaking ball. It skips off the bat.

A breaking ball. It skips off the bat.
The pitcher…

Shim Soo-chang fields it
and throws to first.

Out on first base!

Two runners left on base.

Shim Soo-chang shuts out the inning.

The score is still seven to one!

A scoreless inning! Nice.

This is it.

Your ERA is now at 7,00s.

Our two fools did so well today.

Do you have to make the game
feel so close like that?

I wanted to keep you guys on your toes.

-So it was for the show?
-Yes.

The game was becoming too easy, you know.

It was intentional
to keep you on your toes.

-Let's focus and get a run.
-Let's do it.

This is our last.

Bring it in.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

Let's do this!

We can turn the game around here
and make a tie.

-Please give me the ball, sir.
-All right.

The pitcher will be Son Seung-jun.

-And our relief is Yoo Hee-kwan.
-Okay.

On his last day
as a manager of the Monsters,

Manager Lee chooses Son Seung-jun
as the pitcher.

I know it's cold, but we can't help it.

-You should pitch while you're back home.
-Yes.

Song Seung-jun returns

to Sajik Baseball Stadium after 807 days.

As I took the ball and stood on the mound,

I just couldn't explain
all the feelings in words.

All these great and not-so-great memories
since the day I joined the team

began to unfold in an instant

like a panorama.

The shortest first baseman.

-Keun-woo, you up?
-Should I?

A center fielder for once?

-Sure.
-Show them everything you got.

Center, second.

JEONG KEUN-WOO, LEE TAEK-KEUN

Second, center. They've switched.
The second and the center.

-Taek-keun on the second.
-Where's Keun-woo?

Jeong Keun-woo is now a center fielder.

Yoo Hee-kwan still stands
as a right fielder.

There were lots of position changes.

KEUN-WOO, HEE-KWAN, TAEK-KEUN

Let's end it with a shutout.

The final game for Lee Seung-yuop
as the manager of the Monsters.

Only three outs remain.

Bae Gyeong-geun is the next batter.

BATTER 4, BAE GYEONG-GEUN

Let's hit it!

-Keep it going to the end!
-Show them!

-Go!
-Go!

-Show them!
-Great job!

That was 137km/h.

-My goodness.
-Keep it up!

Man, 137km/h?

AMAZED

-Song Seung-jun!
-Yes!

(SURPRISE IN GRADATION)

-Go!
-Good one!

What was that? Weren't you in pain?

All right, the wild beast festival!

LET'S ATTACK LIKE A WILD BEAST!

He'll want to show

better speed and skills
as his juniors watch.

I did reinforcement workouts,

so I thought my shoulders were better.

That's why I wanted to throw
lots of fastballs.

He pushes it out.

It hits the mound and bounces.

It rolls out next to Lee Taek-keun
on the second base.

TAEK-KEUN LOSES THE BALL

BAE GYEONG-GEUN MAKES IT
TO THE 1ST BASE

-Nice!
-Nice!

-You got out!
-You got out!

A lucky hit, Bae Gyeong-geun.

NO OUTS, A RUNNER ON 1ST

Jeong Keun-woo, move!

So why did they switch?

Did they shift?
What happened to the fielders?

What kind of a shift is this?

Exactly. What's going on?

And now, the new shortstop,
Yang Hyeok-jun is next at bat.

BATTER 5, YANG HYEOK-JUN

He must put a batter out first.

Of course.

He hits.

The ball flies up high.

-The center fielder.
-Jeong Keun-woo.

-It's a hit.
-Throw to the front.

-Hey!
-Dive!

THE RUNNERS PILE UP
WITH CONSECUTIVE HITS

Good!

SIGH…

-Dive.
-No, it was too far.

It was.

(TALKING WITH HIS EYES)

-Good!
-Yes!

We got another chance.

Baseball doesn't end!

It begins in the ninth inning!

This can impact tomorrow too.

No, we have to do a shutout.

Taek-keun would've caught it.

You know it's hard to get one out
when you're on a cold streak.

-One more.
-A shutout.

It takes three pitchers to get one.

(UNEASY, TROUBLED,
ANXIOUS, REGRETFUL)

No outs, runners on first and second.

It's Busan High's chance.

They need to make one, two,
or even a few points

and make the Monsters' life difficult.

Yeon Jun-won is next at bat.

I CAN'T LET MORE RUNNERS GO OUT!

HE HITS!

A grounder. The shortstop can't follow.

THREE CONSECUTIVE HITS

The left fielder catches, and they stop.

All bases filled.

NO OUTS, BASES FILLED

-Dive.
-This is bad.

The Monsters face their biggest crisis

in the final inning of this game.

All bases are loaded.

YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW BASEBALL WILL GO UNTIL IT ENDS!

The man with a twist.

-Nice!
-They're switching back.

Manager Lee Seung-yuop requests a timeout.

Four and eight, change.

Back to our places.

Jeong Keun-woo was in the center field,

and Lee Taek-keun, on the second.

-He's switching them back.
-Yes.

-Are you feeling okay?
-Yes.

Then it's fine. It's okay if they hit it.

Just keep the balance in your pitches.

-Okay.
-You okay?

-Give me a sign right away otherwise.
-Okay.

Let's get one out after another.

One by one.

Let's stop them here.

All bases loaded, seven points ahead.

But CK Monsters still need three outs.

Next up, Park Seong-jun.

Right into the zone.

-Hey.
-Okay.

Seung-jun, keep it up! Come on!

A SHUTOUT IS RIGHT AHEAD

Let's go.

Just one more.

WE'RE ALMOST ABOUT TO SCORE

Busan Sajik Stadium.

Song Seung-jun pitches in a crisis.

ANOTHER HIT!

He hits the dropping pitch.

He catches. One out.

TO THE 1ST BASE?

A DOUBLE PLAY?

-No!
-No!

DASHING TO THE 1ST!

-One out.
-First base!

First base. Out on first base.

2 OUTS

Yes!

YES! THIS IS IT!

-Yes!
-That's it!

-Yes!
-That's it!

KEUN-WOO
YOU SHINE TODAY AS ALWAYS

IT'S THE WORST SITUATION
FOR BUSAN HIGH

Full bases, but a double play?

SHOCKED

He switched to the second base
in perfect timing.

Out at home, then perfect defense follows.

-I knew it.
-This is it.

Jeong Keun-woo is forever
the second baseman of the Monsters.

A perfect double play.

It's now two outs,
runners on second and third.

2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD

One out left to go.

HE HAS ONLY ONE OUT TO GO

Batter eight, Lee Dong-hui is at bat.

First pitch, near the body.

HEART RACING
GOOD CALL

This is Sajik Stadium,
so Song Seung-jun can

finish his last time on the mound
without losing a point.

-Yes.
-He must stay focused.

He hits.

The ball rolls out to the right.

DON'T DO THIS…

-Go!
-Run!

The runner on third scores.

BUSAN HIGH 1 : 7 MONSTERS

THEY MIRACULOUSLY SCORE 1
DESPITE 2 OUTS

-He should've pulled it out.
-Man.

They can't take a hint.

The third base runner scores,

and Busan High finally gets

one point on the board.

Two outs, runners on first and third,
scoring positions.

Park Jae-yeop is at bat.

BATTER 9, PARK JAE-YEOP

He must take one out quickly.

That's what he needs.

FOUL

Come home.

It's time to go.

-Okay.
-One out.

(INHALES RELUCTANTLY)

Seung-jun's losing his condition.

Is it the cold?

Actually, my head turned blank.

What's with me?

I usually strike out batters

in no outs, fully loaded situations.

How can I get so flustered
about pitching after just two weeks?

BALL

I mean, was I bewitched by something?
I had such thoughts.

-This is bad. Ju-won, warm up.
-You should.

Soo-chang, you pitched well.

Hey, you made the kids suffer

and they're taking it out on Seung-jun.

Good job, pitcher!

You can do this.

Manager Lee Seung-yuop made
15 wins and 5 losses

as the manager of CK Monsters.

And now, the final victory,

the 16th victory is before his eyes.

I'LL GET THIS FINAL OUT

The ball flies up high.

PLEASE, MISS!

Seo Dong-wook catches!

The game ends.

Ju-won, at ease.

-Manager Lee Seung-yuop's 16th victory.
-Nice.

His final victory with CK Monsters

ends like this.

As we say goodbye today,

we can do it happily
as Manager Lee Seung-yuop leaves.

A Clean Sweep will continue,

so please show your support
for Manager Lee Seung-yuop too.

That's right.

-Great game.
-Great game.

THE LAST NIGHT WITH MANAGER YUOP

THE PRODUCTION CREW
GETS READY TO SAY GOODBYE

Goodness, look at the chairs.

(SOMEONE SAVE GGURI)

It's cold.

(SOMEONE SAVE SORI TOO)

It's freezing.

It's cold.

THEY CROUCH AND COME IN FOR NOW

I can't even clap.

CLAPPING HALFHEARTEDLY

We won.

Gosh, it's freezing.

THEY WON, BUT FEEL AT A LOSS

(SHIVERING)

Let's huddle together.

I guess we can't send Manager Lee away.
It's too windy.

WE CAN'T… LET YOU GO LIKE THIS (?)

Now, CK Monsters, 16 wins, 5 losses.

Win percentage, 0,762. You made it!

Nice!

SELF-CELEBRATION

Well, I'm leaving now. I am.

We played 21 games, won 16, and lost 5.

A manager with 0,700 win rate.

Mr. Seventy?

-Mr. Seventy.
-It feels wonderful.

I knew it was our last time,

so I tried to leave the team brightly
and in a good mood.

It was also great
to end the day with a victory.

WHAT A RELIEF THAT WE WON…

Now, let me announce the MVP.

-You already did, right?
-You did.

You did it.

-Hyun-in?
-Hyun-in?

Hyun-in, go out.

We have two MVP candidates.

THERE ARE 2 MVP CANDIDATES

Dae-eun?

Candidate one. Six innings, one hit,

nine strikeouts,

and zero points lost.

Rhee Dae-eun!

THE FUTURE ACE, RHEE DAE-EUN

Stop that.

You can't be the MVP if you do that.

He ends with that.

Hyun-in is getting ready to do it.

His arm.

The second candidate.

Four at-bats, three hits, one home run.

Ryu Hyun-in,
who hit for the cycle minus a double!

SIMPLY DELIGHTFUL

Ryu Hyun-in, how much
do you get paid by KT?

Fifty million won.

-The salary.
-Right, 30 million.

Including the front money.

I offer threefold.

I'LL GIVE YOU THREEFOLD

I offer threefold.

OH MY, WHAT DO I DO?

ACCEPT IT

Consider it.

A twofold increase in your salary.

OTHERS ARE EXCITED

Three times your salary

and the front money too.

Hyun-in.

CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT

-Think about it.
-I wouldn't leave.

-Why would you?
-Really.

There's this thing
we call star quality, right?

-I think he has this quality.
-He does.

I'd like to tell you that

we hope this star quality shines
in your professional team.

Thank you.

GOODBYE, DON'T GO,
BE HAPPY, DON'T LEAVE

Yes, that's the best compliment.

Let me announce the MVP.

TIME TO ANNOUNCE THE MVP

Hyun-in is already clapping.

OH RIGHT…

It was announced already.

HE'S PROBABLY THE MVP

The MVP is…

WHO'S THE MVP TODAY?

DAE-EUN, WHO MADE NEW HISTORY?

THE GENERAL MANAGER'S CHOICE,
HYUN-IN?

It's Rhee Dae-eun!

A HUGE TWIST
THE MVP IS RHEE DAE-EUN!

THE WINNER IS SHOCKED

HYUN-IN IS EVEN MORE SHOCKED

-Rhee Dae-eun!
-Rhee Dae-eun!

He's an MVP after six innings?

SHOCKED IN ANOTHER WAY…

-He failed after a shutout.
-What?

You had zero hits today.

Wait, after just six innings?

-I can't believe it.
-Dae-eun.

-Congratulations.
-The last medal from Manager Lee.

You can put this on later.

-Yes.
-One second.

-Good play.
-Thank you.

Good game.

MANAGER YUOP HUGS DAE-EUN

PROUD

You can give a long speech.

-It's cold.
-Yes, use your wits.

IT'S COLD, KEEP IT SHORT…

It would've been great
if I won this little earlier.

It took a while.

I thought I began to hate baseball.

But as I played once again…

NOW THAT HE PLAYED AGAIN…

What's with me?

-What?
-Are you crying?

-Are you crying?
-Come on.

It's as if he won the Golden Glove Award.

-He's crying?
-Is it menopause?

I really can't cry anymore.

It's cold.

I'm sorry.

Ever since I returned
to A Clean Sweep to play,

I realized that I'd always be
a baseball player.

My passion for baseball seemed to remain.

That's why I tried even harder.

I'll go for more MVPs

and try to become the season's MVP too.
Thank you.

TOUCHED

-Rhee Dae-eun!
-Thank you.

HE BECOMES THE BEST CRYBABY

Now, with the authority
as the general manager,

I'd like to pick out one more MVP.

-Hey.
-Hey, Hyun-in.

I knew this would happen.

You're awarded
thanks to Jeong Yong-geom's tears.

It's Ryu Hyun-in!

ANOTHER MVP, RYU HYUN-IN!

-Ryu Hyun-in!
-Ryu Hyun-in!

RYU AWESOME HYUN-IN

Gosh, the keystone.

Instead of doing well,
just make Yong-geom cry.

Please cry when I pitch tomorrow.

YONG-GEOM! CRY WHEN I PITCH!

RECEIVES THE MEDAL

-Congrats.
-Thank you.

Two of these. Put it on next time, okay?

-Congratulations. Great job.
-Yes, sir.

-Be a good player.
-Yes, sir.

HIS BLESSINGS

TOO WARM FOR EVERYONE'S HEARTS

First off, I became the MVP
in the manager and coach's last game,

so it's a huge honor
to receive the last medal

from Manager Lee.

Tomorrow is my last game,

so I'll do my best until the end too.
Thank you.

Don't go.

THE PRODUCTION CREW'S WORDS

Now, the Monsters played 21 games.

You're a strong team
with a win percentage of .762.

You may be strong,

but it's now our time to let go

of our manager.

SAD

We played 21 games.

Let me show you everything

Manager Lee Seung-yuop has done
over those 21 games.

-What?
-In a video?

-Bring it in.
-What?

A trophy?

ANTICIPATION

Please put it next to Se-hun…

A HUGE ACCIDENT

A SHOCKING TRUE STORY

-Goodness.
-Oh my gosh.

Goodbye.

LAUGHING…

I'll just leave. Goodbye.

It's too windy.

His achievements crashed!

HIS ACHIEVEMENTS CRASHED

A Clean Sweep truly is a variety show.

Do something.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY A VARIETY SHOW

You can just send it to me.

The ball is rolling around and whatnot.

You can take your time. It's fine.

It failed anyway.

A TRUE VARIETY SHOW…

Take your time. It's okay.

THEY STACK IT UP AGAIN

-Just play the video.
-Take your time.

Now, I'll show you
Manager Lee's achievements.

One, two, three.

SCREAMING!

(HANDS OVER MOUTH)

OH MY, HOW SHOCKING

How did you come up with this?

-What's that?
-Sixteen of them.

-My gosh.
-Sixteen victories.

That's the ball for the final victory
that Manager Lee has made.

MANAGER YUOP'S 16 VICTORIES

A MEANINGFUL RESULT

It's meaningful.

Winning 16 games out of 21.

Regardless of the opponents,
if they were weak or strong,

I believe it was a great result.

It's…

WINDY

CRASH

TITLE: THE MORE YOU CLENCH,
THE MORE YOU LOSE

DEEPLY UPSET

Pull it out.

"Great result." Crash.

Great result, crash.

The hard work has crashed.

Just pull it out.

HIS HARD WORK CRASHES

Pull it out quickly!

UNPLEASANT

COVERED IN A CLOTH,
MANAGER YUOP'S ACHIEVEMENTS ARE GONE

We did that to show you
that even hard work

can always crash.

Always saying he meant it.

A CRAZY TWIST IN THE STORY

Our club prepared one last present

for Manager Lee Seung-yuop.

-There's something else?
-Yes.

I don't trust you anymore.

Bring it out together just in case.

What if that flies out too?

What's that?

-What is it?
-What's that?

A PRESENT TO SETTLE(?)
THE ONGOING CONTROVERSY

-That's cool.
-The uniform.

-Where?
-The uniform.

Is that pure gold?

A retired number.

That's a retired number?

MANAGER YUOP'S FRAMED GOLDEN UNIFORM

Number 36 of CK Monsters is

now a retired number.

THE FIRST RETIRED NUMBER

CONGRATS

STAGGERS

TURNING HIS HAPPINESS
INTO TAP DANCE?

WHAT'S WITH HIM?

-It's pretty.
-Stop putting on a skit.

Look behind you.

GOODBYE, SEUNG-YOUP

"Goodbye, Seung-yuop."

A SIGN OF SADNESS
AS WE SEND HIM AWAY

MANAGER YUOP STARES FOR A WHILE
WITHOUT WORDS

-Goodbye.
-I'm sorry, but…

My name is spelled Y, U, O, and P.

MY NAME IS SPELLED YUOP

-Come on, that's awful!
-Why did you do that?

Hey, turn it off.

A MESS OF A FAREWELL CEREMONY

Change it to the title.

That says "Youp." Lee Seung-youp.

-They took it down.
-"Youp"?

I'm sorry.

IS THIS A FAREWELL OR A GOOD RIDDANCE?

All right. Number 36 is retired,

and you can take that as a gift.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

-I'm jealous.
-How many numbers are retired now?

THE SECOND RETIRED NUMBER

-And there's another present.
-Another one?

I hope this one is good.

-Okay.
-Let's do this at once, then.

It's a present for both of you,

Coach Jung Soo-sung
and Manager Lee Seung-yuop.

An album?

For him to study?

What's this?

THE BEST RESPONSE THUS FAR

That's awesome.

What's that? A photo album?

My gosh.

-The response.
-Gosh.

They made this for them.

I love photos the most.

This is cool.

It's awesome.

I love it.

PHOTOS ARE THE BEST SOUVENIRS

-It looks cool too.
-It's great.

-That's cool.
-I love it.

-They took these photos for us.
-Right?

I want one too.

Yes, I want a photo album too.

-This is really touching.
-Yes.

I just looked through the photos

and began to wonder
where time had fled to.

It went by so quickly.

Anyway, I leave with great memories

and with this great present.
Thank you, and I'm very happy.

(SNIFFLE)

I'll give you one more gift.

I can finally trust you now.

RECOVERED TRUST

That's huge.

-What's that?
-What is that?

WOW

A HUGE PRESENT SHOWS UP

How will you take that home?

WORRIED ABOUT TAKING IT HOME

It won't fit in your car.

-Gosh.
-Will it fit in your elevator?

How will you take it?

It'll always be in the ballpark.

Manager Lee, your last present.

THE REAL, FINAL PRESENT

That's cool.

You keep touching my heart.

I wanted to leave with a smile,

but now that I see the number 36,

it really feels…

It's now exactly five years

since I retired as a professional player.

We met in January

and it's now October.

I spent such precious time
with all of you.

REMEMBERING EVERYTHING

The first manager of CK Monsters is

Lee Seung-yuop.

THE MOMENT WHEN HE WAS NAMED
AS THE FIRST MANAGER

The first victory.

CK MONSTERS' FIRST VICTORY

And the first loss.

THE PAINFUL FIRST LOSS

I was a pinch hitter
at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu.

Pinch hitter, Lee Seung-yuop.

WHEN HE STOOD AT BAT
AS A PINCH HITTER IN HIS HOME PARK

My first hit.

A MIRACULOUS FIRST HIT

Then we played before 16,000 spectators.

THE FIRST GAME WITH SPECTATORS

HE SPENT ALL THESE MOMENTS
AS THE MANAGER OF CK MONSTERS

Everything, all this love and support

feel like a dream.

I'll never be able to forget
these precious memories as I leave.

Thank you very much
for the last six months, no, a year.

WE MISS YOU ALREADY,
SO WHAT DO WE DO?

So the ones who'll leave will leave.

-The end?
-The end.

-Shouldn't it go on a little more?
-No.

If you keep the win percentage of 0,700,
you have 9 matches left.

I'll share the future plans

on how these nine games will be held
tomorrow morning

once you are in the stadium.

Isn't that too fast?

After just one day?

THE SITUATION CHANGED INSTANTLY

LAUGHING

We're sad to see you go,
but we'll get over you quickly.

GETTING OVER MANAGER YUOP QUICKLY

We'll get over you quickly.

Lastly, why don't we toss
Manager Lee in the air?

Let's end with that.

We don't have enough people.

-I might get hurt.
-It's fine.

Well, it's okay to get hurt.

You're not our manager now.

This is bad.

Send him away nicely.

-Send him where?
-The other side?

Don't let him go.

I didn't do anything that bad, right?

-Moon-ho.
-Sorry?

-I didn't, right?
-I know.

-Hyun-in.
-Isn't that too high?

Younger players,
you have to catch me, okay?

I mean it. Tightly. I can't get hurt.

And the ones in the front.

-Grab him.
-How many times?

Three times.

HE'S LIFTED UP EASILY

You're light.

Drop him in three. One…

-One, two, three!
-Two, three!

-Toss him.
-One, two, three!

TOSSING HIGHER WITH LOVE

Higher.

-Let's go.
-One, two, three!

WISHING YOU'LL FLY HIGHER
IN YOUR NEWFOUND PLACE

21 GAMES 16 WINS 5 LOSSES

A COOKIE VIDEO FROM THE FUTURE

Your wrist should

always turn before your legs.

PROFESSOR SEO IS RETRAINED

-That's the trick. Get it?
-Yes.

You may leave.

SEARCHING FOR HIS NEXT TARGET

Where did he go?

Number 33.

-Yong-taek.
-Yong-taek.

I'm tired.

You don't need that many balls.

He needs more. Bring me that.

Darn it.

Gosh.

(LAUGHING)

Jeong Keun-woo!

I WON'T TAKE THIS ALONE

Come here.

CAN'T CARE LESS

He's not coming.

I didn't call him.

YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE, OKAY?

I have to do fungo later.

SUDDENLY THROWS
SO HIT!

YONG-TAEK SLOWLY REGAINS
THE SENSES THAT LET HIM MAKE 2,504 HITS

AND…

ANOTHER MAN REGAINS HIS SENSES TOO…

ABSENCE OF A MANAGER
THE MONSTERS ARE IN A CRISIS

As of this hour, CK Monsters will begin…

THEY GO
INTO THE ACTING MANAGER SYSTEM

THE NEW SYSTEM…
WHO'S THE ACTING MANAGER?

IT'LL BE MR. PARK YONG-TAEK

HE WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT
HE SUDDENLY ANNOUNCES THE LINEUP

He had been waiting.

DEEPLY UPSET

HOW LONG WILL HE DO THIS?

CENTER FIELDER: JEONG KEUN-WOO

I'M THE 2ND BASEMAN
WHAT?

EXPLODING IN ANGER

Fourth batter, Lee Hong-ku.

IS HE SERIOUS?
THE 4TH BATTER?

DARN IT…

Lee Taek-keun, be prepared
to be a pinch hitter from inning one.

WHAT'S WITH HIM?
WHAT IS THIS?

(FROWNING)

HOW CAN HE CHANGE THAT DRASTICALLY?

OF COURSE, PEOPLE CHANGE

EVERYONE TRIES TO WIN HIS FAVOR

(PLEASED)

He hits down the center.

Jeong Keun-woo, the center fielder.

That's it! Keun-woo!

I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT

IT WORKED?

THE MAJOR LEAGUE BOW

UNDER MANAGER PARK,
THE MONSTERS HAVE CHANGED

The center fielder.

He can't catch it.

A HIT!

ANOTHER HIT!

THEY COMPLETELY OWN THE GAME

YES, THIS IS IT

YOUR LINEUP IS AMAZING

He pushes it out. The left. Left fielder.

He catches.

THE MONSTERS NOW HAS
PERFECT DEFENSE TOO

HOW WILL THE GAME END
WITH ACTING MANAGER PARK?
