AN UNBELIEVABLE GAME BEGINS
SEOUL
GOCHEOK SKY DOME
It's been a while.
We haven't played in three weeks, right?
-It's been a month.
-We're playing after a month.
-Yes, that's right.
-Gosh.
The break was too long.
WHAT?
-What?
-What's up with the uniforms?
What's going on?
-Away colors?
-What?
REVEALING THE MONSTERS' AWAY UNIFORM
-What's this?
-Away uniforms.
-They look great.
-Jeez.
It looks amazing.
-Hong-ku, isn't it cool?
-Yes?
I mean this. Isn't this cool?
ISN'T MY MVP MEDAL COOL?
LAUGHING
Goodness. What's wrong with my arm?
He's going to brag for a long time.
I hope he does badly today.
THIS IS A HOME RUN SWING
I got the swing balanced.
JEEZ!
-Welcome.
-Hey.
-Hi.
-What's up?
What's up with the uniform?
OH
Will my locker fall because they're heavy?
-Hee-kwan has two.
-Two medals.
My locker might fall
because they hung two medals.
Hee-kwan.
Keun-woo became quiet.
Was Keun-woo chatty before I came?
-He was.
-No, I wasn't. I'm gentle.
-Are you?
-I'm always gentle.
-Hello.
-Hello!
AFTER THE PITCHERS
Hello.
What's this?
-Hello.
-Hello.
You sounded like you'd never play again
-when you retired yesterday.
-Seriously.
I'm playing baseball again
after six hours.
I thought it was Soo-chang's
retirement ceremony, not Yong-taek's.
He made a round in Jamsil Sports Complex.
Why did he do that
at someone else's retirement ceremony?
WHY DID HE MAKE A ROUND?
ON THE DAY
OF YONG-TAEK'S RETIREMENT CEREMONY
YONG-TAEK AND HIS FANS
SAID THEIR GOODBYES
-Park Yong-taek!
-Park Yong-taek!
PARK YONG-TAEK!
PARK YONG-TAEK!
Let's go, A Clean Sweep!
SOO-CHANG HAD HIS RETIREMENT TOUR(?)
ON THE SIDE
VIDEO PROVIDED
BY SHIM SOO-CHANG HIMSELF
I asked you to host
-the ceremony, not have your own.
-Well…
When the light came on,
I was going to kiss the mound
before leaving.
-Like this.
-I mean…
Until what time did you give autographs?
-Until 3:30 a.m.
-Until 3:30 a.m?
I saw a comment online that read,
"It's 12:30 a.m."
-"I'm leaving now."
-Yes, I saw that.
YONG-TAEK'S RETIRED NUMBER CEREMONY

A PRO SHOWS HIS LOVE FOR HIS FANS
7 HOURS OF AUTOGRAPH TOOK A TOLL
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Congratulations, Yong-taek.
-Thank you.
-I'm sorry I couldn't be there.
-It's okay.
YONG-TAEK, CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you.
All right.
I'll tell you the starting members first.
-Number one, Keun-woo.
-Yes, sir.
-Number two, Seong-hoon.
-Yes, sir.
-First.
-Yes, sir.
-Number three, DH, Yong-taek.
-Yes, sir.
Number four, left, Eui-yoon.
Number five, center, Taek-keun.
Number six, third, Dong-wook.
Number seven, right, Moon-ho.
Number eight, catcher, Hong-ku.
Number nine, SS, Hyun-in.
-Starter, Won-sam.
-Yes, sir.
Yes. All right.
STARTING PITCHER JANG WON-SAM
Today, Won-sam is back after 63 days.
-It's been two months.
-Two months.
-It's been 63 days.
-Has it been 63 days?
Won-sam prepared well for two months,
so he's back as the starter.
I hope the outfielders
can help him out today.
And Taek-keun made
hits for six games in a row.
TAEK-KEUN MADE HITS
FOR 6 GAMES IN A ROW
-Let's go for seven games.
-I'll do my best.
In the previous game, Moon-ho…
(ME…?)
You tried to bunt
during a tiebreaker, right?
-Yes.
-It was fake bunt
and slash. You failed to do that.
And you failed to bunt.
(GIGGLING)
HE FAILED TO NOT LAUGH…
You failed to get on base
and got struck out.
Please be professional
and don't make mistakes.
It's our first back-to-back match.
Keep in mind that
we're playing tomorrow too.
We have five pitchers.
Won-sam, Soo-chang, Seung-jun,
Dae-eun, Hee-kwan. There are five of you.
The five of you
have to pitch until tomorrow.
You should pitch as little as possible.
-That's all.
-I'm sorry.
Why are those two sitting here?
WHY ARE THE COMMENTATOR
AND CASTER SITTING HERE?
-We were told to come here.
-Did the writer say that?
No, Manager Lee did.
STEALING ATTENTION
He told me to come
because it's really important.
I won't come tomorrow.
-Okay. Let's go.
-Let's go.
Gosh.
Quickly. Get ready. You have an hour.
-Long time no see.
-It's good to see you.
How have you been?
We lost the first round,
so we were heartbroken.
Today, we're determined.
Are the players ready?
My players are more ready
than the manager is.
-Is that so?
-Yes.
How are they ready?
Well, I can't tell you.
I see.
You'll know when you watch the game today.
We'll make sure to win.
They'll be crushed today.
LAUGHING OUT LOUD
It's their day to be crushed.
30 MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME
WON-SAM WARMS
IN THE CORNER IN ADVANCE
How do you feel?
-I'm good.
-Are you all right?
-He looks good today.
-I had a nap.
-Won-sam, you look like you need protein.
-Yes.
-Protein?
-Try this.
Soo-chang got this for you.
SOO-CHANG'S SECRET DRINK
This is good.
-Good job, Soo-chang.
-It's good.
Since you aren't playing,
you should at least do this.
-Can I have one?
-Yes.
It's really good.
I like it because it isn't heavy.
It's not heavy at all.
If I had it when I was a player,
-I would've played five more years.
-Yes.
I'll drink this and rip it on the mound.
-Yes, rip it.
-Is it enough protein?
I'll rip the catcher's mitt.
I'LL RIP THE CATCHER'S MITT!
You look good today.
Won-sam, I have a good feeling.
-Finish your warm-up.
-Okay.
-Okay, let's go.
-Good luck.
You didn't get me anything
when I was the starter.
I would've pitched well if you did.
HOW CAN WE GET YOU SOMETHING
WHEN YOU DON'T PITCH?
It's the first
back-to-back match of the season.
Choongam is waiting for the game.
Hello, everyone. A Clean Sweep
will have a game
between Choongam High School
and CK Monsters.
Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here.
-Hello.
-Hello.
So far,
A Clean Sweep had one game per week.
They'll play two days in a row
for the first time.
How to start
the back-to-back match is important.
It's a lot of pressure
because CK Monsters
have only five pitchers.
Back-to-back is difficult for them.
They're playing Choongam today.
It's the second round with Choongam
after a 49-day hiatus.
I think we'll win today.
I'd like to say sorry in advance.
We'll advance to the third match
and win the last game.
Today's goal is not to allow any runs
and five strikeouts.
-Good luck.
-Good luck.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
Good luck.
High schoolers are fast.
Defense, get ready.
Okay.
They're going to move a lot.
-Keep it in mind.
-Okay.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!
You have to play well today
without any mistakes.
If we lose today, there is no tomorrow.
We must win today.
Don't be nervous.
Think about what you need to do.
Do what you need to do. Okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
All right.
Exciting clap!
-Go!
-Go!
Let's…
-Go!
-Go!
LET'S DO THIS!
-Defense, go.
-Let's go, defense.
Let's go.
A MYSTERIOUS MAN CALLED
SEOLKKACHIBAL GOES ON THE MOUND
Seolkkachibal just came in.
It's Lee Su-geun.
Seolkkachibal.
THOSE WHO KNOW SEOL KKA-CHI LAUGH
Seol Kka-chi.
-His nickname is awesome.
-Seolkkachibal.
Seolkkachibal?
The number on the back is 160.
That's not pitching speed.
It's his height.
IT'S HIS HEIGHT, NOT PITCHING SPEED
Between you and Su-geun, who is taller?
I'm much taller.
JEONG YONG-GEOM, 161CM (ESTIMATED)
I'm comedian Lee Su-geun. Hello.
IT'S A CELEBRITY
Today…
Thank you for inviting me
to do the ceremonial first pitch
for A Clean Sweep,
the most popular show of 2022.
Actually, my two sons graduated
from Choongam Elementary School.
So I have some relation to Choongam.
Choongam High School, good luck.
CK Monsters, let's go!
Good luck!
GOOD LUCK!
LAUGHING
Jeong Keun-woo.
WE MEET ON THE BASEBALL FIELD
Lee Su-geun.
Seolkkachibal will throw
the ceremonial first pitch.
SIDEARM?
(LOOK AT THAT)
-Good pitch!
-Nice.
I FOUND MY 6TH PITCHER
-He's a good pitcher.
-He's similar to Soo-chang.
What?
He's good at playing soccer,
and he's good at playing baseball too.
Let's go!
He's good at playing sports.
HE THREW SIDEARM
He threw a sidearm.
The ball went outward and in the mitt.
The pitching mechanics were perfect.
-Keun-woo was shocked.
-He was good.
-Yes, he had the moves.
-Yes.
He's Seolkkachibal.
Lee Su-geun threw the ceremonial
first pitch to start the game.
Let's start the show
with a round of applause!
KID CHEERLEADERS PUT ON A SHOW
CUTE
TA-DA
GOOD JOB
PERFECT TEAMWORK
Scream!
Please give it up! Thank you!
That's the most people we've had.
More people are here
than at Yong-taek's retirement ceremony.
We're getting ready
for the second match with Choongam.
CK Monsters will be at bat first.
Number one, Jeong Keun-woo.
Number two, Jeong Seong-hoon.
Number three, Park Yong-taek.
Number four, Jung Eui-yoon.
Number five, Lee Taek-keun.
Number six, Seo Dong-wook.
Number seven, Kim Moon-ho.
Number eight, Lee Hong-ku.
Number nine, Ryu Hyun-in.
Yoon Jun-ho isn't here
with CK Monsters today.
He couldn't join them
because he had another game.
The catcher should never make any mistakes
because it's a back-to-back game.
Pitchers can't throw a lot,
so the catcher has to
keep the runners in check,
block the balls,
and let the pitchers throw less.
The catcher's role is very important.
That's right.
Manager Lee Young-bok said
that since the first episode aired,
a friend that hasn't been in contact
in 30 years called him.
It means that he has to win
to save his face.
I'm sure he's thinking that.
He didn't come here
without thinking anything.
He's going to win
and go to the next match.
-Right.
-That's why Lee Ho-jin is pitching.
-Yes.
-He's a deceptive pitcher.
He's going to steal timing.
That's right.
All right. We're getting ready
for the second match
between Choongam and CK Monsters.
Now it's starting.
-All right.
-Let's go!
Hitter number one
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
Currently, he has number one
home runs, batting average,
and the least strikeouts in CK Monsters.
REASSURED
The first pitch was a strike
that came in from outside.
NICE FIRST PITCH!
He pitches like this.
-He throws like this.
-Isn't it like this?
He has a unique pitching form.
Keun-woo is the first hitter to read this.
Keun-woo was stuck out only once
in six games.
The first pitch was a strike.
Jeong Keun-woo bunts!
No! Leave it!
No! Leave it!
-It goes outside the line.
-Foul!
OH, MAN…
So close.
Should I have taken care of it?
It's okay.
Choongam players didn't look flustered.
They looked like they were smiling.
I believe catcher Kim Dong-heon read it.
It'll be interesting to see
how he acts as the commander-in-chief.
That's right.
Catcher Lee Ho-jin has a favorable count.
Hitter Jeong Keun-woo
has no count to spare.
The ball slips. It's not out.
NOT OUT
Go!
The ball skipped.
Keun-woo dashes to first base.
Run! Faster!
HE CATCHES IT QUICKLY
AND THROWS IT TO 1ST BASE!
Quickly to first base.
It was perfect. Uncaught third strike.
Jeong Keun-woo is out. One out.
1 OUT
Okay! Nice defense! Good!
-Keun-woo, was it a circle?
-Changeup.
-It was a changeup.
-It fell really nicely.
Keun-woo ran very fast.
But Kim Dong-heon
threw quickly and calmly.
THE CATCHER'S NICE DEFENSE
GOT HIM OUT
He's a good catcher.
His changeup fell nicely.
-I haven't played in a while.
-You lost the feeling.
-I lost the sense of distance.
-Right.
-I thought so.
-Jeez.
Hitter number two
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.
The genius is here.
Dong-heon, this man is good.
DONG-HEON, THIS MAN IS GOOD!
Currently, Seong-hoon's
batting average is 0,417.
Manager Lee put him second today
to use various strategies when Keun-woo
gets on base.
He's able to hit
according to all kinds of situations.
That's right.
BUT KEUN-WOO IS OUT…
-A breaking ball. A strike.
-Strike!
-Okay!
-Nice.
Nice ball. Good job.
His breaking ball is good.
He's kind of like me.
(LAUGHING)
ANOTHER BREAKING BALL
-Don't be intimidated.
-Keep it up.
He's throwing breaking balls
to make a favorable count. That's amazing.
He's making
the count favorable to the pitcher.
If a genius can't hit it, nobody can.
He hits.
It flies high.
STARING
CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL
-It's going.
-It's going.
Isn't it gone?
IT'S GONE…
Behind the left fielder.
It's big!
-Behind the left fielder.
-It's gone!
It goes over the fence!
IT'S A HOME RUN!
A man called genius.
Jeong Seong-hoon hits a solo home run.
-He's a genius.
-He really is.
-Awesome.
-Ho-jin.
It's okay.
He's good. He still got it.
Jeong Seong-hoon scores a point.
MONSTERS 1 : 0 CHOONGAM
HERE COMES THE GENIUS!
Jeez.
-That was good.
-Nice.
-Genius!
-Good job.
-Was it a changeup?
-Yes.
-Changeup.
-Nice.
Amazing.
It's been years since he retired.
But he hit a home run.
The changeup was a bit high.
But Jeong Seong-hoon hit it very lightly.
It wasn't a full swing.
But it was a home run
that hit the top of the outfield.
Amazing.
HE SURE IS A GENIUS…
When Seong-hoon's solo home run
still lingers,
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
The pitcher kept throwing
changeups fearlessly and got strikes.
But one high changeup
resulted in a home run.
Still, he shouldn't be afraid.
He still has to be aggressive.
Right.
BALL
ANOTHER BALL
Gosh.
It's probably because of the home run.
Hey, keep it up. It's okay. Nice ball.
Jeez.
CHOONGAM
Left-handed pitcher Lee Ho-jin.
It is a fastball.
But since the home run,
he lets a hitter walk.
Hitter number four
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
-Run!
-The ball hits the edge.
Run!
He couldn't catch it.
Runners are safe.
Ho-jin got up.
But all the runners are safe.
Get Yeong-cheol ready.
We can't let them score more.
Yeong-cheol.
HE QUICKLY MAKES THE WINNING MOVE
Timeout!
Manager Lee
visits the mound after four hitters.
He's trying to buy time.
Also, he's giving some pointers
to cheer the pitcher up.
Because he had really good changeups.
Home runs and four balls can't be allowed.
I told you to take it easy.
Don't get discouraged by a home run.
-Home run is okay.
-Yes.
It's okay to allow a home run.
-Take it easy.
-Yes, sir.
Choongam is not having a good flow.
For all six games,
Taek-keun has made hits.
HEY, COME ON TAEK-KEUN!
2ST BASE RUNNER YONG-TAEK
1ST BASE RUNNER EUI-YOON
The first pitch.
-The ball hits the batter.
-He's done.
THE FIRST PITCH HITS THE BATTER!
After the home run,
he let all three batters go on base.
Manager Lee visits the mound again.
Why are you pitching like that?
After striking one batter out…
HO-JIN FEELS TERRIBLE
Goodness.
-Give me the ball.
-Yes.
-Well done.
-Yes.
The starter Lee Ho-jin leaves the mound.
THIS IS IT FOR HO-JIN
I know how the starter feels.
FEELING BAD FOR HIM
Leaving the mound
after 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
-I know how that feels.
-The ace is up right away.
NOT INTERESTED
ACE YOON YEONG-CHEOL
SHOWS UP WITH A SMILE
-Stop them from scoring.
-Yes, sir.
The second pitcher
Yoon Yeong-cheol is on the mound.
-He made the under-18 national team again.
-I see.
They say he's the number one
left-handed pitcher
-in the high school league.
-Good.
YOON YEONG-CHEOL
What? His practice pitch is 141km/h.
He looks like he's in a good condition.
They say he can pitch fastballs.
But he took it easy
because he has to pitch a lot.
I told him to throw with power.
He's up early.
It's one out and full bases
in the first inning.
No other pitchers can pitch.
Because they can't lose any points.
Choongam has to minimize the score gap.
Right.
If we bring him down, it's a called game.
THE GAME IS OVER
IF YEONG-CHEOL IS DOWN!
He is faced with Seo Dong-wook first.
Dong-wook should bat with his left hand.
He didn't allow any hits
with the left-handed batters.
To the outfield!
Let's go!
SWITCH HITTER DONG-WOOK
STANDS ON THE RIGHT
Let's hit one. If we do, it's over.
The dugout looks nervous.
Can Yeong-cheol solve the problem?
He swings at the first pitch.
Okay! Good!
You have to stop him.
Stop him, Yeong-cheol!
You enjoy a situation like this.
-Okay!
-It skips off the bat.
It's strike two.
If we don't score
when it's one out and full bases,
we may have a crisis in the bottom half.
We have to score.
We have to score here.
WE CAN'T HAVE THAT
Yeong-cheol is nervous too,
but the first and second pitches
were strikes.
What he has to do here
is throw a breaking ball.
Can he control
his pitch in a situation like this?
CAN HE CONTROL HIS PITCH
UNDER PRESSURE?
Count! Strikeout!
HE TAKES A HITTER OUT WITH 3 PITCHES
-Yeong-cheol needed only three balls.
-Give me.
Two outs.
NICE BALL!
That's it, Yeong-cheol!
WOW…
Nice pitch.
He threw a four-seam.
SHOCKED BY HIS GUTS
He threw one right in the middle
when it was two strikes.
I don't think it was a mistake.
It was confidence.
Catcher Kim Dong-heon
and pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol
showed perfect teamwork.
What Manager Lee
pictured played out so far.
Kim Moon-ho as to change it up right now.
There's only one out left
until the next inning.
It's Yoon Yeong-cheol versus Kim Moon-ho.
THERE'S ONLY ONE OUT LEFT
MOVING
-It's close to the body.
-Is it?
-It skips off the bat. A sharp foul.
-It's okay.
Great! He can't hit your ball!
He threw a tight pitch
in a nerve-racking situation.
It's hard.
Even a professional player can't do it.
-But he boldly did it.
-Right.
EVERYONE IS ASTONISHED
-He's good.
-He can pitch.
He gets it in.
-He has good control.
-Yes.
He's a better version of Hee-kwan.
He's good. His changeup is good.
His pitch is 25km/h
faster than Hee-kwan's.
-But his control is different.
-It's different.
LEFT-ARM, CONTROL,
CHANGEUP, PLUS SPEED
It's another tight one.
-Another tight one.
-It goes left.
It goes up high. Foul territory.
They're unable to catch.
What's surprising is that
he threw two tight ones.
This shows his confidence.
RESPECT
He can control the pitch. That's rare.
Actually, it's a really great thing.
If we can't score
when the bases are full, it'll be bad.
-Right. It's only one out.
-The bases are loaded.
Dong-wook should've hit a sacrifice fly.
MONSTERS 1 : 0 CHOONGAM
Get him, Yeong-cheol!
You can stop him.
Let's do it.
YEONG-CHEOL, LET'S DO THIS!
Let's go.
What will he request?
Catcher Kim Dong-heon sits outside.
-Outside?
-It's a slider.
PLEASE, MOON-HO
PLEASE, YEONG-CHEOL
And…
it goes in outside! Strikeout looking!
ANOTHER BOLD FASTBALL
-Okay!
-Nice Yeong-cheol!
It's 144km/h.
That's Yeong-cheol.
He made everyone at Choongam smile.
That was pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol.
-Yeong-cheol, good job.
-Yes, sir.
HE'S LIKE A DISASTER TO THE MONSTERS
Nice ball. I agree.
That was 144km/h.
-He's gotten better than last time.
-Yes.
He's more powerful than before.
(THIS IS NOT GOOD…)
He's good.
HE'S SURPRISED AGAIN…
-Amazing.
-He's good.
The pitch toward the body
when Moon-ho was at bat was amazing.
-Of course.
-It's impossible to do.
I was surprised.
He got two strikeouts in a row.
HE TOOK OUT TWO HITTERS
WITH TWO STRIKEOUTS
-Yeong-cheol, good job.
-Yes, sir.
Yeong-cheol did a great job. Good defense.
You played defense really well.
Now we have to be good at-bat.
The pitchers have a lot of experience.
So you can't swing at any pitch.
You have to hold back.
You have to swing only at the good ones.
Make them pitch for a long time.
-Got it?
-Yes, sir!
Go.
-Let's go.
-Go!
Go!
Let's go!
He stopped them well.
STILL SATISFIED
BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 0 CHOONGAM
It's the bottom of the first inning.
Choongam is at bat.
Jeez.
-I'm nervous.
-Good luck.
All right.
It's pitcher Jang Won-sam.
He pitched on May 2nd
when they played Duksoo.
He's back as the starter
after a 63-day hiatus.
He went through a difficult rehabilitation
and came back pretty quickly
after his injury.
It's been two months.
I remember the date. It was May 2nd.
I practiced enough to pitch for a game.
BLINKING
I'm sure he wants to show a lot of things.
He hasn't been able to play for a while.
He saw the other players
having a hard time.
I want Won-sam to shine today.
Yes.
Won-sam, let's go!
-Let's go!
-Jang Won-sam!
Now, number one hitter
Im Jun-ha is at bat.
Jun-ha, watch carefully.
-Don't rush it.
-Let's go.
Let's get on base from the start, Jun-ha!
-Ball.
-Won-sam's first pitch.
It goes outward.
-Good eye.
-Nice.
Good eye!
Im Jun-ha is at bat.
He can run very fast.
If he gets on base,
he'll put a lot of pressure on us.
He'll get on base.
HIT!
Jeez, what's this?
COULD IT BE?
An ambiguous course. It goes up high.
It's a lucky hit that falls
in front of the right fielder.
WE LOVE A HIT!
-Good!
-Jun-ha!
Im Jun-ha gets on first base.
NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Hitter number two Lee Seon-u is at bat.
NEXT IS HITTER NUMBER 2 LEE SEON-U
STEAL A BASE
(GOT IT)
Keeping the runner close to the base.
Currently, catcher Yoon Jun-ho
is ranked number one
when it comes to stopping
the runners from stealing bases.
It's .500.
Lee Hong-ku isn't as good as Jun-ho.
So they're going to run from the start.
STEALING A BASE 100 PERCENT
BUNT
GOT IT
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
USES AGGRESSIVE STRATEGIES
It's the first inning. No outs.
Runner on first base.
Choongam is going to bunt.
One ball, one strike.
THE BALL GOES BACK!
-Swing!
-Go there!
Go!
What? Didn't he get hit?
It's a foul.
It's a foul. It made a noise.
He got hit after he swung.
HE CALLS IT A DEAD BALL
-Go back.
-What is it?
-Did the ball hit the bat?
-Let me explain.
When a hitter swings,
if he doesn't get hit,
the runner can run
because the ball is considered in play.
But he swung.
It should've counted as a strike.
But the ball hit the hitter.
-So the runner can't move.
-No, he has to return.
Right.
Won-sam isn't fully recovered.
He needs to overcome the situation
where he can't pitch with full power.
Go!
It flies high.
A DOUBLE PLAY COURSE
That's it.
DISAPPOINTED…
It flies high.
-The second baseman.
-Tag!
He couldn't tag him!
He can't throw it anywhere!
THAT'S IT!
I wonder what just happened.
It looks like
Keun-woo couldn't catch it at once.
He was going to catch it quickly,
tag him, and throw the ball.
He couldn't send the ball.
A player who never makes mistakes
made a mistake.
So this is a big crisis.
He has short arms.
He should've tagged like this.
-It's recorded as a mistake.
-Yes.
Timeout!
Manager Lee is having a timeout now
because Won-sam doesn't look like
he's in good condition.
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
-I keep slipping.
-It's okay.
-Let's get one out at a time.
-Yes.
-We have one point.
-Yes.
The best defender Keun-woo made a mistake.
It's unbelievable.
So the manager is reassuring the players.
Yes.
Jeong Seong-hoon hit a solo home run,
so CK Monsters scored the first point.
Now, there's a runner who can catch up.
He bunts!
-Second base!
-No!
First base! He's safe!
All runners are safe again!
NO OUTS AND LOADED BASES!
He ran right away.
How can he run right away?
The hit was a little off.
The pitcher has to make a decision.
Because the ball went up,
they thought the runners couldn't run.
So they were going to send it
to third base. But, no.
-He had a good start.
-Yes.
If you look at third base,
then throw it to first base,
the runner will be safe no matter what.
How can
these legendary players
keep making mistakes like this?
I can't believe it.
A three-week break
made them dull.
The Monsters
are faced with another crisis.
The bases are loaded.
NO OUTS, FULL BASES
Hitter number four
Kim Dong-heon is at bat.
He hits!
HE HITS!
It goes up high.
NO WAY
IS IT A HOME RUN?
It is caught
by the left fielder Jung Eui-yoon.
He caught it. Third base runner tags up.
He reaches home.
Choongam catches up with the Monsters.
LET'S TURN THE TABLES AROUND!
This is what I think.
They're good at playing baseball.
-Yes, they really are.
-Yes.
Park Chae-ul is at bat now.
BATTER NUMBER 5 PARK CHAE-UL
Go!
-Jeez.
-Far pitch.
-Lee Hong-ku catches it.
-This is hard.
Manager Lee Young-bok
keeps sending the balls
to the infield because the Monsters
keep getting flustered
and making mistakes.
Instead of hitting the balls.
Make the misters tired.
Keep pressuring them.
Third and first basemen are slightly
playing the infield.
Hitter number five Park Chae-ul.
He hits! It bounces off the mound!
-Shortstop!
-Good!
-Double play.
-That's it!
He hits! It bounces off the mound!
Shortstop!
He got it, but he couldn't throw it.
-He couldn't send it.
-He didn't come in.
Shortstop Ryu Hyun-in got the ball,
but it left the glove.
CK Monsters played
another disappointing defense.
They're putting themselves in trouble.
THE MONSTERS ARE
GETTING THEMSELVES IN TROUBLE
-He caught it well.
-Why isn't the game playing out?
FRUSTRATED
LET'S TURN THE TABLES AROUND!
You guys are dead today.
It's not working out.
The Monsters still need two outs.
Won-sam isn't
getting any help from the defense.
The number of pitches is increasing.
1 OUT, FULL BASES
Batter number six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.
HITTER NUMBER 6
CHO HYEON-MIN IS NEXT
WITH ONE RUN,
THE TABLES WILL BE TURNED
It lands outside again.
WON-SAM CAN'T CONTROL THE BALL
The misters are frozen today.
IF THIS CONTINUES
None of the outfields aren't smiling.
This is the second match with Choongam.
I'LL STOP THEM
FROM GETTING AHEAD OF US!
Hit it.
Hit it.
HE HITS!
He hits! The shortstop catches it.
Then he sends it to first base.
-Double play!
-It's the best.
Ryu Hyun-in! He takes care
of the regrettable situation himself.
Three outs.
Hey.
-Let's play defense.
-Okay.
Ryu Hyun-in's good defense
closes the inning.
They're still tied at one to one.
-Good.
-Good.
-Good job.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-That was tough.
Each team
had a really big "loaded bases" crisis.
But they stopped it.
Now it's one to one.
I wonder how much more exciting
this game will be.
TODAY'S GAME IS EXCITING
TOP OF THE 2ND INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 1 CHOONGAM
Now, it's the top of the second inning.
CK Monsters are at bat.
The starting hitter is Lee Hong-ku.
WILL THEY CONTINUE THIS GOOD FLOW?
Be careful.
Lee Hong-ku ranked second place
among batting averages on the team.
Yes.
-Hong-ku!
-Let's go!
-Hong-ku!
-Let's go!
He pushes. First baseman.
It's a line drive.
1 OUT
First baseman
Woo Seung-won takes care of it. One out.
-Okay!
-Slowly.
-Okay!
-That was comfortable.
Very comfortable.
(HE CAUGHT IT…)
(I CAN'T BELIEVE HE CAUGHT IT…)
Ryu Hyun-in who played
good defense is at bat.
HYUN-IN THE GOOD DEFENSE
How will he penetrate the strong defense?
He swings and misses.
It's good to swing confidently like that.
Hey! Ride it out!
The count is favorable to the pitcher.
He's up against Yoon Yeong-cheol.
He hits the far pitch.
-The pitcher catches it.
-He's good.
Yoon Yeong-cheol throws it to first base.
Two outs.
Yeong-cheol, they can't catch up.
Hyun-in hit a ground ball and he's out.
It's only the beginning of the game,
but Yoon Yeong-cheol has control
over the mound.
-That's right.
-Yes.
THE HITTERS CAN'T GET THE GAME
ON THEIR SIDE
Close pitch.
CAN KEUN-WOO CHANGE
THE FLOW OF THE GAME?
HE HITS!
He hits the second pitch,
but the third base catches it.
-Cho Hyeon-min catches it perfectly.
-Nice.
That fast pitch was turned into an out.
Yoon Yeong-cheol finishes the inning
after three hitters.
1-2-3 INNING
They can't hit your balls.
-No, sir!
-They're having a hard time.
-Yes, sir!
-Good job.
THE MONSTERS AREN'T
HAVING A GOOD GAME
BOTTOM OF 2ND INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 1 CHOONGAM
It's the bottom of the second inning.
Choongam is at bat.
Hitter number seven
Lee Chung-heon is at bat first.
THE FIRST BATTER LEE CHUNG-HEON
1 BALL
2 BALLS
Jeez.
3 BALLS
(GOOD EYE!)
-He's used to it.
-Chung-heon, good job!
Too many balls.
My injured arm can't go back
to being the way it was.
Unless I throw 150km/h,
I can't get through it.
WON-SAM IS THE MOST FRUSTRATED
MUST AVOID 4 BALLS
The course is ambiguous.
The right fielder moves and catches it.
Right fielder Kim Moon-ho.
-It's one out.
-Good job!
MANAGER LEE DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY
Designated hitter Kim Min-seok is at bat.
I still remember his play.
THE PREVIOUS 1ST MATCH
WITH CHOONGAM
-It goes to the center. Center fielder.
-He did it.
KIM MIN-SEOK HAD 2 HITS 4 AT-BATS
He had monstrous power.
Yes. He's a really good hitter.
WILL WON-SAM BE ABLE TO STOP HIM?
Jeez.
It was a tight pitch. It becomes a hit.
-That's it.
-Hey.
-This is it.
-That's power.
MONSTROUS HITTER KIM MIN-SEOK
That didn't seem like a good hit.
Take a look.
The ball skipped off the bat,
but it went over the infield.
The way he hits looks
like a bad-ball hitter.
-He's like Guerrero Junior.
-Yes.
He's pretty good.
(MESMERIZED)
Why am I getting shitty hits?
You aren't in good condition today.
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
BATTER NUMBER 9
LEE SEONG-HYEON IS AT BAT
ANOTHER SURPRISE BUNT
Lee Seong-hyeon
-bunts the first pitch.
-I'm not sure.
Leave it.
-It doesn't go out.
-It's a perfect bunt.
THE BALL SUDDENLY STOPS
Yes!
NICE BUNT!
What's going on?
It stops inside the line.
It's a fair ball.
What was that?
That bunt was perfect.
You practice bunting a thousand times.
But it's hard to succeed during a game.
The ball headed outside the line,
but then it stopped inside.
CK Monsters aren't having a good game.
It's terrible.
Jeez.
This is crazy.
ANOTHER CRISIS
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES
It's one out.
Runners on first and second bases.
Jang Won-sam is getting ready
to pitch against
batter number one Im Jun-ha.
Let's go! Okay!
ANOTHER SURPRISE BUNT!
He bunts the first pitch.
Hurry up!
PLEASE!
Toward third base.
Third baseman catches it.
OUT!
Third baseman catches it. To first base.
He's safe on first base!
-Yes!
-Yes!
How can he bunt like that?
Jeez.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
Two consecutive hits made by bunting.
CK Monsters are shaking
in the second inning.
1 OUT, FULL BASES
Keun-woo.
Keun-woo!
CK Monsters are moving up
the defense to the infield.
ORDERING THE DEFENSE TO MOVE UP
Jang Won-sam is facing a crisis.
It's another crisis with loaded bases.
Won-sam has to use the infielders.
Yes.
First pitch. It goes outside. It's a ball.
-Good eye.
-Okay, you're doing well.
Good job!
It's far.
They're checking the swing.
He didn't swing.
He's holding back.
Batter number two Lee Seon-u.
The Monsters have to get
the pitchers ready.
Choongam quickly let its ace pitcher play
and avoided the crisis.
The Monsters may have to do that.
I didn't want to hurt
Won-sam's pride.
Though he was having a hard time,
and we were faced with a crisis,
I wanted to believe in him.
The bases are loaded.
Batter number two Lee Seon-u.
-Strike!
-It's a strike.
Let's go.
-Swing!
-Hey!
SWINGS AND MISSES
-Swing!
-It's in. He swung.
MONSTERS 1 : 1 CHOONGAM
Relax.
THE COUNT IS UNFAVORABLE
TO THE BATTER
WON-SAM HAS A LOT OF CHOICES
WHAT WILL HE PITCH?
Get one.
-Strike!
-Outside! Strikeout looking!
OUTSIDE STRIKE
-Strike!
-Outside! Strikeout looking!
Why didn't he hit it?
Two outs.
Pitcher Jang Won-sam got the second out
with a strikeout.
THE FIRST STRIKEOUT MAKES HIM SMILE
Timeout!
Manager Lee goes to Jang Won-sam.
-Okay. That was good.
-It was crazy.
That was crazy. Jeez.
Today's starter Jang Won-sam
threw 39 pitches and leaves the mound.
Good job.
Manager Lee chose Song Seung-jun
-as the second pitcher.
-Right.
If Choongam wins today,
tomorrow will be
the third match with Choongam.
Also, the Monsters
won't have any pitchers.
-That's right.
-This is the point.
They need to pull it together.
They need to win today.
"If we don't get over it here,
we might lose this game."
That's it.
This is weird. I have a bad feeling.
I HAVE A BAD FEELING…
SEUNG-JUN GOES ON THE MOUND
FEELING PRESSURED
WILL HE BE ABLE
TO OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?
He's heavy. He is.
DISTURBED
WE'LL WIN AND GO TO THE 3RD MATCH
NO MATTER WHAT!
The bases are loaded.
It's two outs. To get the last out,
Song Seung-jun takes the mound.
Batter number three
Woo Seung-won is at bat.
He hits the first pitch. It's a foul ball.
TOO BAD
Today's game isn't easy.
Right. It isn't.
Let's go!
-He's taking a breather.
-He is.
A seasoned pitcher does that.
I'm curious.
I'm thinking of a breaking ball.
But what's his decision?
It's a fastball.
Outside. It's a fastball at 137km/h.
Good. He's powerful today.
SEUNG-JUN MAKES IT A FAVORABLE COUNT
-Good luck.
-Go!
It's okay.
ONE MORE STRIKE
WILL MAKE A STRIKEOUT
DID HE HIT?
It drops. A strikeout!
THAT'S OUR PITCHER!
It drops. A strikeout!
DEJECTED
Song Seung-jun didn't have a crisis.
Three outs.
CK Monsters didn't lose any points.
Nice pitch.
NICE PITCH
-That was what he was going to do.
-That was cool.
I see. That's why he threw a fastball.
Seung-jun is pretty good.
LAUGHING
Now, it's the top of the third inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.
Jeong Seong-hoon will start first.
He made the first home run
on his first at-bat in A Clean Sweep.
Yoon Yeong-cheol is still pitching.
YEONG-CHEOL TOOK 5 BATTERS OUT
WITHOUT ANY RUNS
He hits the first pitch.
A BOLD SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH
His swing is getting bigger.
-I hated facing Seong-hoon.
-I see.
-What was the reason?
-He's a good hitter.
He makes every pitch his chance and hits.
HE HITS!
He hits. It's slow.
Pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol
sends it to first base.
It's stable. It's one out.
1 OUT
I didn't expect a slider.
Good line.
NICE BALL
The old boys are having a hard time.
The misters.
Park Yong-taek came back
to play baseball in A Clean Sweep.
What's the best hitter?
A hitter that doesn't die.
He said that getting on base
was the most important thing.
HE HITS!
-Go!
-Nice.
AN INFIELD FLY BALL
2 OUTS
WHERE DID THE BEST HITTER GO…
-It's so hard to hit Yeong-cheol's ball.
-Give me.
It'll be hard to score.
HE'S REALLY HAPPY
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
He's the number four batter,
but he hasn't hit a home run.
JUNG EUI-YOON IS AT BAT
(LET'S GO, HITTER NUMBER FOUR)
Let's go!
He has to hit one today.
-It's really hard to score a point.
-Yes.
It's really hard to target the pitcher.
-So he has to hit.
-Yes.
HE HITS!
He hits!
It's a hit that goes to the center.
NICE HIT
Number four hitter Jung Eui-yoon
sends one to the center.
The ball was off the strike zone,
but he made a hit.
Jung Eui-yoon did it.
Yeong-cheol is pitching today,
so it's hard to make a hit.
-Yes.
-That was a rare hit.
That was a good pitch.
He was just too good.
2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
He took out seven hitters
without letting them make a run.
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
He made a hit at every game.
He's trustworthy.
You can trust him when he's at bat.
-That's right.
-Yes.
Be bold!
HE HITS!
He hits! The bat is broken.
This hit goes
up high and far!
-That's it.
-You did it. Run!
YOU DID IT, RUN!
-Run!
-Run!
-He moves back.
-Wait!
-He moves back. It goes…
-Wait!
-Run!
-Run!
HOME RUN?
Goodness.
THIS CAN'T HAPPEN!
-He moves back. It goes…
-Wait!
It hits the fence!
-Hurry, run!
-Home.
Eui-yoon to third base.
And he goes for more!
Stop him!
The ball is thrown to home base.
Eui-yoon is faster!
MONSTER 2 : 1 CHOONGAM
Stop!
(HE GLANCES)
TAEK-KEUN GOES FOR 3RD?
Stop.
PLEASE!
Cut him off!
He slides head first!
Taek-keun is out on third base!
-Yes!
-Okay!
WRAPS UP THE INNING
WITH MINIMAL RUNS
How did the broken bat fly over there?
Timeout!
Timeout!
-He's asking for an instant replay.
-He is.
CK MONSTERS REQUESTS
AN INSTANT REPLAY
Did you not touch it? Maybe you did.
I don't think I did.
-This is the replay.
-Let's see.
I think he dodged…
-Never mind.
-Right here.
THE RESULT IS OUT
The umpire doesn't reverse his decision.
The bat is broken.
How did it fly all the way there?
The bat broke, but he still hit the fence.
ALMOST A HOME RUN WITH A BROKEN BAT
It would've been dramatic
if it went over the fence.
-But hitting the fence is extraordinary.
-That's right.
The broken bat flew over to third base.
This is a clip worth a million views.
I'm certain of this.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE
Taek-keun is truly unbelievable.
How did the ball fly all the way there
when your bat was broken?
That's so unfair.
Lee Taek-keun hits a run
for the CK Monsters.
CK MONSTERS IS IN THE LEAD AGAIN
I told you guys to be careful this inning.
When we had two outs,
we couldn't grab the chance,
so it led to a crisis.
Yes, sir!
Grab the chance when there is one.
And those who made mistakes,
move on from them.
You just play better this inning. Got it?
-Yes, sir!
-All right. Let's play well.
Song Seung-jun takes the mound.
What they must do is
to minimize the number of pitches
for Seung-jun.
They must save it up
and take it to the sixth inning.
Maybe to sixth or seventh.
Save your number of pitches!
HE NODS
Take it slow. Make him pitch a lot.
TAKE IT SLOW
AND MAKE HIM PITCH A LOT!
THE HITTER PLANS TO MAKE HIM
USE THE PITCH COUNT
HE HITS IT
The first pitch hits.
But the shortstop fields the ball.
To first base. Out on first.
Nice.
NICE
Being so impatient again.
Impatient!
Chae-ul, take it slow.
Let's make him out in one pitch.
HE HITS!
He makes contact. First base catches it!
Seong-hoon, first base.
-Nice.
-Good.
THEY'RE SATISFIED
He's the best.
He knows how to utilize his fielders.
-That's true.
-Yes.
He's against Cho Hyeon-min,
the sixth batter.
Make him pitch a lot.
PLEASE DON'T HIT THE FIRST PITCH…
PATIENT
ANOTHER FIRST PITCH HITS!
A ground ball.
Keun-woo. Will he throw well this time?
He throws it!
-That was good.
-He's out.
AS EXPECTED, SONG SAM-BONG
Song Seung-jun gets ground balls
tricking the hitters,
and wraps up the inning,
three up, three down.
Good job.
It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
CK Monsters are at bat.
First up is the sixth batter,
Seo Dong-wook
He's on the left side again.
SIXTH BATTER, SEO DONG-WOOK
When he stood on the right side,
he was struck out.
How will it be this time?
HE HITS!
GROANING
He makes contact this time.
The ball goes over shortstop.
-Nice!
-That's it!
AS EXPECTED, PROFESSOR SEO
He doesn't lose again.
Dong-wook makes a hit on the left side.
This is good!
The baseball genius.
The used-to-be pinch hitter,
Kim Moon-ho is up.
Seo Dong-wook is on first with a hit.
A hit between first and second
would be good.
LET'S GO BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND
ROGER THAT
Third!
He makes contact. It's a fly ball.
Choongam.
They catch it!
Hyeon-min follows and catches the ball.
Darn it.
HE'S DISAPPOINTED
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Hong-ku is up next.
LEE HONG-KU,
THE 8TH BATTER IS IN THE BOX
A sharp swing!
The ball flies to the left field.
-The ball bounces off the fence!
-Good.
Seo Dong-wook runs to third base.
DONG-WOOK ADVANCES TO 3RD
-Why is he so good?
-Lee Hong-ku stops on second.
A DOUBLE THAT LED
TO 2 SCORING POSITIONS
Wow, Hong-ku.
Hong-ku!
He's insane. Look here!
Hong-ku!
This is Lee Hong-ku.
-The main catcher of CK Monsters.
-Nice!
I felt that coming.
One out with two runners
in scoring positions.
Hyun-in is up next.
This is a situation
where you can get two points.
Hyun-in has to prove himself now.
A chance like this won't come back.
Infielders, come forward.
CHOONGAM HAS
NO INTENTION OF ALLOWING A RUN
HE HITS!
Hyun-in's ball goes
between first and second.
-Okay, go!
-Go!
Second and third base runners
are going home.
MONSTERS 3 : 1 CHOONGAM
Run quickly!
To home base!
SAFE
It's safe!
That's right!
LET'S CELEBRATE
A perfect double at perfect timing!
Hyun-in does his job perfectly
even as a batter now.
The score is four to one.
Jeong Keun-woo is up.
It's a sharp swing.
The ball goes between 5-6 hole.
ADVANCES TO 2ND BASE
-Keun-woo's hit adds to the momentum.
-Good job.
KEUN-WOO'S CLEAN AND CHEERFUL HIT
Good job.
HE'S SATISFIED
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND
Yoon Yeong-cheol, who took the mound,
is gradually getting discouraged.
Manager Lee Young-bok
comes onto the mound.
Timeout.
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
MAKES HIS DECISION?
Is he switching pitchers?
SWITCHING PITCHERS ALREADY?
-You're throwing good pitches.
-Yes, sir.
You're doing well.
Can you wrap this inning up?
Yes, sir!
Don't be nervous.
Dong-heon, you too.
He encourages Yeong-cheol.
He believes in him
because he's the ace player.
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND
DETERMINED
Seong-hoon is up next.
He's the one who hit the first home run.
THE GENIUS BATTER, JEONG SEONG-HOON
STRIKE
STRIKE
It was close, but it's in the zone.
That's two strikes.
The ball was deep, but it was a strike.
-So it's impossible to hit that.
-Right.
Now you have to pitch it far out.
A sloppy slider
near the body can be risky.
His eyes are used to the deep pitches.
He misses! Strikeout!
HE PITCHED WITH GUTS
Well done.
HE'S SATISFIED
Seong-hoon is struck out,
so now it's two outs.
Park Yong-taek is up next.
CAPTAIN TAEK MARCHES IN
One home run from Yong-taek
can make a big point difference
and encourage the team.
That's right.
I'M GOING FOR ONE BIG SWING!
Two outs now. Let's bring them home.
He makes contact.
Third catches the bouncing ball.
To first base.
First base catches the ball.
HE COMES BACK UNHAPPILY
Yeong-cheol allowed two runs.
The current score is four to one.
It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
This is the bottom of the fourth inning.
Choongam is on offense.
Currently, it's four to one.
A three-point difference.
The seventh batter, Lee Chung-heon is up.
The Monsters have momentum.
Song Seung-jun is
steadily defending the innings.
-So getting on a base isn't easy.
-Right.
GETTING ON A BASE IS THE FIRST STEP
-Let's go!
-Go!
STRIKE
Nice!
It's okay!
-You can do this!
-Let's go!
BALL
CHUNG-HEON WATCHES ONE BALL
NICE EYES
The count is one and one.
BALL
BALL
They're losing by three points.
Can high school athletes
manage to hold off on swinging
a curveball at this level?
If you ask yourself that,
Choongam players deserve applause.
The count is three and one.
He manages to get on a base with a walk.
Nice job.
Yes.
He wasn't tricked by any of his pitches.
Chung-heon conquers the first base.
Kim Min-seok is up next,
and this is a tough one.
He has two strikes.
The ball count favors the hitter.
Tries to pick the first base off.
SAFE
Stay on your toes.
He's making first base stay on the base
since there are no outs.
He doesn't lose focus.
Another pick-off!
He's out this time!
-Yes!
-Okay!
Seung-jun's pick-off
takes the base away from the runner.
We can't advance because of the pick-offs.
This is it.
He threw it near the base knowing
Jeong Seong-hoon would catch it.
A PERFECT PICK-OFF TIMING
He has the fastest bat speed on the team.
HE HITS!
Okay!
Okay!
A ground ball. The shortstop dashes in!
He tags first base.
2 OUTS
But he's out!
WHERE IS HE GOING?
That was good.
Seong-hoon! Come back in.
-Only two outs right now.
-Come on.
Hey.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
You know something funny?
Jeong Seong-hoon.
He thought the inning was over,
so he ran in and came back out.
HE'S EMBARRASSED
2 OUTS WITH NO RUNNERS
The third batter is up.
It's the ninth batter, Lee Seong-hyeon.
-Take it slow!
-Slow!
STRIKE
That was sick.
AN IMMACULATE FASTBALL
-Nice!
-That was a cannonball.
LOADING THE CANNON
-Strike!
-Another strike with a breaking pitch.
Nice!
I was worried
about how this game would play out
when Seung-jun took the mound.
Yes.
But he's taking care of things easily.
-Strike!
-He misses!
All he needed was three pitches.
Hey, their manager is going to get angry.
DISAPPOINTED
Including the pickoff,
Seung-jun wraps up the inning
only against three hitters.
It's a bit late for him, but people
still insist that he goes to MLB.
-Gosh.
-Nice job!
AS EXPECTED, SONG SAM-BONG
Song Sam-bong.
Goodness, I'm exhausted.
Seung-jun has to stop pitching.
He looks energetic though.
This is the top of the fifth inning.
The inning starts
with CK Monsters on offense.
When is he going to stop pitching?
HE'S STILL ENERGETIC
Hey, come on, number four.
I want to see something big this time.
THE 4TH BATTER IS UP NEXT
Eui-yoon needs to hit
a home run this time.
I want to keep believing that
he can hit a home run this game.
A GAME OF TRUST BY EACH MANAGER
-You can do this!
-You got this!
He's the fourth batter,
so something big has to come from him.
That's right.
HE MUST PROVE HIMSELF NOW
The count is one and two.
He misses! Strikeout!
-Strike!
-Hey!
Why is his leg shaking?
His swing is like a fan.
Yeong-cheol pitched
a high deep fastball
when it was two strikes.
That's hard to do. I praised his
deep pitches against left-handed batters.
A high fastball against right-handed
batters? It's worthy of praise.
The fifth batter, Lee Taek-keun, is up.
LEE TAEK-KEUN IS UP
-Strike!
-It's an inside ball.
-Strike!
-It's an inside ball.
That breaking pitch
was kind of like Seung-jun's.
That's right.
That was a sharp pitch.
A slow, up-and-in breaking pitch.
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
Come on!
He misses! Two strikes.
HE TAKES A BREATH
It's okay.
Nice!
Nice changeup.
With a little more power,
I wonder what kind of player
Yeong-cheol would be in KBO.
His confidence, his technique,
and his boldness
are flawless. He just needs more speed.
The pitch is slightly out of the zone.
BALL
Nice.
A PRAISING ROBOT?
-Nice pitch!
-Good job!
Nice pitch.
Their dugout is noisy.
The pitch was a ball, you know.
WHAT KIND OF PITCH WILL HE THROW
WITH ALL THE COMPLIMENTS?
He makes contact.
He makes contact.
A ground ball. Second base fields it.
-He throws it to first base.
-Okay.
2 OUTS
-Nice!
-Good job!
The sixth batter, Seo Dong-wook, is up.
DONG-WOOK, I TRUST YOU
The first one to hit
a home run on the team.
What pitch will it be?
He makes contact.
He makes contact. It's to the left.
Is it a foul? Is it in?
To the left! Left fielder!
To the left! Left fielder!
He cannot catch it. It's a foul.
That was good. Good job.
The count is one and two.
ANOTHER FOUL
Another foul.
He's having trouble pitching an out
after two strikes.
Yeong-cheol is good at keeping counts.
But he has to do more.
By keeping counts, he can become
an excellent pitcher.
But to become a legend, he needs
to pitch an out easily in this situation.
This is what he should learn here.
DONG-WOOK IS AT A DISADVANTAGE
BASED ON THE COUNT
The count is one and two.
-Strike!
-The pitch is in the zone and far.
-The count is one and two.
-Strike!
HE WRAPS UP THE INNING AGAIN
Strikeout looking.
He pitches a strikeout
and it was a three up, three down inning.
That's right! Nice pitch!
AS EXPECTED, YEONG-CHEOL!
THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED
He needs to stop pitching.
Was it a changeup?
The spin wasn't, but it dropped.
BOTTOM OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
This is the bottom of the fifth inning.
Choongam is on offense.
The first batter is Im Jun-ha.
IT BEGINS WITH IM JUN-HA
SEUNG-JUN STILL TAKES THE MOUND
Im Jun-ha needs to make contact.
CHOOMGAM NEEDS TO MAKE CONTACT
Jun-ha. You can do this. Stay alive.
-There you go!
-He makes contact.
He makes contact.
Third baseman fields with a backhand.
To first base.
First base!
Third baseman fields with a backhand.
To first base.
First base!
-He dropped it.
-He dropped the ball.
A THROWING ERROR
The ball wasn't thrown perfectly.
There you go. Nice!
OKAY WE'VE GOT THIS!
With some progression made,
Choongam makes a chance.
Dong-wook is disappointed.
A BOTCHED THROW BY DONG-WOOK
Dong-wook fielded the ball and threw it,
but the throw was a bit short.
The hitter would've been out,
but the ball was hard to catch.
A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Lee Seon-u is up next.
Let's advance.
A SURPRISE BUNT!
-Strike!
-Good.
SURPRISED
Seong-hoon, you're moving a lot today.
HE GRINS
HE WHISTLES
HE CALLS THE FIELDERS
Come forward a little.
THE MONSTERS ARE
GETTING READY FOR A BUNT
Let's go!
TRY BUNTING AGAIN IF YOU DARE
ANOTHER SURPRISE BUNT
-He bunts the ball, but it flies.
-Good.
Against Seung-jun's pitches,
the hitters are having trouble
bunting the ball.
This is good.
HE SIGHS
AS THE PLAN ISN'T WORKING OUT
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
ONE MORE STRIKE AND IT'S AN OUT
-Strike!
-He pitches a strike far out.
-Strike!
-He pitches a strike far out.
-Nice.
-Strikeout!
Are you kidding me? A strikeout?
Even after his teammate's mistake,
he manages to pitch a strikeout.
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST
Woo Seung-won is up next.
THE RUNNER IS PRESSURING HIM
FROM BEHIND
Nice pitch.
You can do this, Song Sam-bong.
HE HITS!
He makes good contact.
A FLY BALL NEAR THE LEFT FIELDER
He will definitely catch the ball.
(DISAPPOINTED)
He's going to catch it.
HE'S UNDECISIVE
He's going to catch it.
Left center. Behind the left fielder.
He drops the ball!
THE BALL HITS THE GLOVE
He drops it!
And a bad throw!
TWO MISTAKES IN A ROW
DARN IT…
RUNNER STARTS RUNNING!
Come in quickly!
HE'S TELLING THEM TO RUN FASTER
KEUN-WOO FIELDS IT
AND THROWS IT HOME
He got it.
Passes by second and third.
The ball goes to home base.
Go back!
THE BALL CAME HOME
BEFORE THE RUNNER
It's in!
To your base! Come on!
Come on! Quickly!
Third base!
-Hong-ku!
-Throw it, you punk!
To home base!
He runs and throws it to third!
IS IT SAFE OR OUT?
-Throw it!
-Hong-ku!
PLEASE BE AN OUT
To home base!
He runs and throws it to third!
-Safe!
-Safe on third!
-Nice!
-Okay!
NICE, IT'S A SAFE
THE DELAYED THROWING LED TO A SAFE
Hong-ku…
This changes everything. The momentum.
The ball hits Eui-yoon's gloves and drops.
It could've led to a run.
But they stopped that from happening
with a relay.
Third base runner is safe.
But they managed to stop a run.
-Right.
-Unbelievable mistakes are happening.
This is a bit disappointing.
This is disappointing
since both runners are there
because of the mistakes.
-That's right.
-If played properly,
there won't be any runners.
A game after three weeks.
CK Monsters are providing
the opponent with opportunities.
Amid all this,
Dong-heon is the next one up.
Captain, go!
WE TRUST YOU, CAPTAIN!
-What?
-Didn't he step forward?
A HIT-BY-PITCH?
-It hit his guard.
-Timeout.
-He crouched forward.
-Strike.
-It's in!
-What was that?
Hey.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Strike! Come back.
Come back.
HE'S SERIOUS
I said come back.
Why?
He put his arm forward
when it was a strike.
Let's watch.
He put his elbow forward.
The umpire says
he put his arm forward to get hit.
DECIDED THAT IT WAS A DELIBERATE HIT
In this situation,
it wasn't a hit-by-pitch.
-It's a strike instead.
-Right.
That's because it has been decided
that the batter took the hit on purpose.
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
-Strike!
-Second pitch is a strike.
-Strike!
-Second pitch is a strike.
Two strikes.
HE BREATHES IN
THE BALL COUNT FAVORS SEUNG-JUN
A captain and a senior in high school.
Let's go!
Two runners in position.
The count is zero and two.
The ball drops down.
Two runners in position.
The count is zero and two.
The ball drops down. It's a strike.
But he's not out. To first base!
Third base runner comes home!
But he's not out. To first base!
HE'S SURPRISED
3RD BASE COMES HOME
HE SPRINTS
-Unbelievable.
-He comes home!
MONSTERS 4 : 2 CHOONGAM
They chase them down by one point!
-Yes!
-Nice!
Jun-ha!
JUN-HA CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD
AND CAME HOME
-Gosh.
-What?
The third base runner
manages to come home.
How Jun-ha manages to get a run.
I want to compliment him.
The catcher only thought of the first base
and threw the ball there.
Jun-ha didn't miss that opportunity
and ran home.
-He deserves a compliment.
-That's right.
What an outstanding game of baseball.
What a play.
A disappointing mistake leads to a point.
A DISAPPOINTING MISTAKE
LED TO A POINT…
2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND
THE 5TH BATTER, CHAE-UL, IS UP NEXT
-Chae-ul!
-You got this!
Let the runner come home!
Chae-ul!
FOUL
Good!
Chae-ul, just one good hit.
WITH A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION,
WE CANNOT ALLOW A SINGLE HIT
-Strike!
-He swings for the down pitch.
Two strikes.
Good job. Nice blocking, Hong-ku.
NICE BLOCKING
THE BALL COUNT IS IN FAVOR OF SEUNG-JUN
-Even a single pitch makes us nervous.
-That's right.
You can do this!
He misses! Strikeout!
You can do this!
He misses! Strikeout!
He might've been shaken up,
but he manages to stay focused
and throws a shutout inning.
-Hey.
-Great job.
This is killing me.
Seriously.
Great job.
-Well done.
-Great job, guys.
-Nice.
-Good work.
-Come in.
-It's all right.
The difference is two points.
But it's too early
for the Monsters to relax.
MONSTERS
CHOONGAM HIGH
Top of the sixth. CK Monsters are batting.
This is why Manager Lee kept him in.
When the game becomes this tight,
Yoon Yeong-cheol is a pitcher
who can stop them.
HE WAITS TO RUN OUT
Batter seven, Kim Moon-ho.
HE HITS!
It flies out sharply.
-It flies out.
-A fair ball to the first.
MOON-HO, LET'S GO
The great batter, genius batter,
runs to the second.
Throw it.
PLEASE, LET IT BE SAFE
-Slide.
-Hey.
-Go.
-Run.
-Let's go!
-Catch him!
He decides to go to the second.
And he arrives at the second,
but he's out!
1 OUT
This judgment wasn't
that of a genius batter.
GOODNESS, MOON-HO…
It bounced with the line.
But he didn't run too well.
That's why he couldn't touch base in time.
On top of that, it's Im Jun-ha.
You saw how he did.
-The shoulder.
-The shoulder.
You surprised me.
Choongam High isn't an easy team at all.
You're playing ball all alone, man.
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW I PLAY ALONE
BATTER 8, LEE HONG-KU
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
NOPE, NEXT BATTER
Swing and miss. Strikeout.
Darn it.
Things have taken an odd turn.
THINGS HAVE TAKEN AN ODD TURN
The Monsters are winning right now, right?
-Yes.
-But it feels like they're losing.
Yoon Yeong-cheol did lose
one point in the third
and two points in the fourth,
but he continues to pitch smoothly
throughout the innings.
Next, Ryu Hyun-in.
THE FUTURE OF MONSTERS,
HYUN-IN IS AT BAT
He hits the first pitch.
A foul. It flies back.
-Yes.
-Nice ball.
Nice pitching.
ANOTHER FOUL
Manager Lee only has three more pitchers.
Also, the game isn't over yet.
Then it gets very complicated
to choose a pitcher tomorrow.
He can't think of that now.
Right now, the game isn't going well,
and the players aren't playing right.
Two points difference.
CHOONGAM'S ACE
DOESN'T MISS THIS CHANCE
Swings and misses. Strikeout.
The seventh strikeout.
CHOONGAM HIGH TAKES THE LEAD
IN THIS INNING
The best left-arm pitcher in high school.
This is what he can do.
Play with confidence.
You all look rigid.
Why don't you brighten up? Smile.
Play with a smile. Play at ease.
EQUIPPED WITH CUTE SMILES
-Those men are troubled.
-Yes.
Think of this as the beginning
and let's start scoring. Okay?
-Yes!
-Yes!
-Okay.
-Let's go.
It's the bottom of the sixth inning.
The first batter is Cho Hyeon-min.
The pitcher is Song Seung-jun.
He threw 45 pitches so far.
Yes.
Song Seung-jun began to pitch
from the second inning.
This is the sixth inning.
If he was still a professional player,
and if he was in his 30s,
he could throw 30, maybe 40 pitches
and throw again the next day.
But these players
cannot recover
as quickly as they did back then.
I agree.
This is a difficult inning
for Song Seung-jun.
1 BALL
He's out of power.
A little more, he'll go down.
It's about time Soo-chang comes out.
Once I go out, it's over.
I'll throw one underhand pitch.
ONE UNDERHAND PITCH, GAME OVER
Song Seung-jun shows
a great battle on the mound.
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
GO FOR A SINGLE
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
The shortstop catches. First base.
And first base.
SAFE?
OUT?
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
The shortstop catches. First base.
And first base.
BARELY SAFE!
It's safe at the first base.
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
The shortstop catches. First base.
-And first base. Safe.
-Yes!
YES!
-That was insane.
-Seriously.
Ryu Hyun-in's perfect catch!
But he was safe.
An unbelievable play.
That's Ryu Hyun-in,
the shortstop of Monsters.
HYUN-IN IS OUR FUTURE
Don't play like that on defense.
That was awesome!
HE'S ON THE OTHER TEAM,
BUT LET'S CLAP
(THANK YOU)
-Man, that was excellent.
-Good!
-Hyun-in is so good.
-Nice!
-He moves so swiftly.
-Nice play!
NICE PLAY!
His play was perfect.
I didn't think I would see
a moment like this.
But what's more important is that
this became a single.
You're right.
-And now, Song Seung-jun is in a crisis.
-Yes.
SEUNG-JUN CONTINUES TO PITCH MORE
Although he just showed a great play,
this situation is
the biggest crisis for the team.
Choongam High is
trying to turn the game around
little by little.
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK'S ORDER
LEE CHUNG-HEON GETS READY FOR A BUNT
They're trying to wring out a point.
WALKING OUT
Excellent check.
THE 1ST BASE RUNNER GETS ON HIS MIND
I kept keeping him in check
because Lee Hong-ku's mindset
isn't very strong right now.
He feels burdened to throw.
So I thought
what I could do to help him is
by holding him at least a step behind.
He's going to hit it.
Song Seung-jun is
getting ready to throw his 50th pitch.
-Hey.
-Foul.
-Run!
-Run quickly.
Third baseman pulls it in.
It hits him and drops. To first.
And the runner is in.
He's out. One out.
Yes! You got it!
YOU GOT IT! SAFFE!
Wait, he was faster.
I need this. Replay.
That man.
THAT MAN, COME ON!
He's out.
Choongam High still has one more replay.
He decided to use all replay chances
from the start to the middle.
The control towers of both teams,
the managers,
will not give up on leading this game.
No.
At the last minute,
he couldn't catch it right away.
Seo Dong-wook dropped it,
then threw it quickly.
The decision may change!
If this video is replayed,
then the decision surely may change.
STEPS, THEN CATCHES
The decision is made.
He's safe at first base.
RUNNER AT 1ST IS SAFE!
Choongam High takes full advantage
of the second replay.
Zero outs, runners on first and second.
Batter eight, Kim Min-seok is
at bat in this crisis.
In a way, this batter may be
the most difficult today.
2 AT-BATS, 1 HIT, KIM MIN-SEOK
First pitch, away from the torso.
But his first pitch
already dropped to 132km/h.
He's missing the sharpness.
Seung-jun is out of energy.
The next pitch.
HE HITS!
He hits it to the right!
The hit drops
in front of the right fielder.
-Stop.
-He's told to stop.
All bases are loaded.
Kim Min-seok hits a single and runs out.
Manager Lee Young-bok
chose to play aggressively, not passively.
Kim Min-seok showed
excellent hits today at bat.
He's more than a typing runner.
All bases are loaded
for them to take the lead.
No outs, all bases loaded.
Timeout.
Song Seung-jun is sweating a lot.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop
also comes out to the mound to ask him.
MANAGER YUOP GOES TO THE MOUND
I'm sure he'll hit a bunt.
Seung-jun,
cover the catcher and the third.
Seong-hoon, come forward.
Cover the base. The third.
Look out for a bunt.
Hong-ku, play confidently.
Do not hesitate.
If you get it, throw it to the third.
-Let's do this.
-We can do this. Let's focus.
Defense, keep it up.
This is your last chance to stop them.
It's the last time.
The fielders made many mistakes today,
-but in this inning…
-Right.
they must help the pitcher.
THEY MUST NOT MAKE MORE MISTAKES
In a total of 338 games in the KBO,
he had 109 wins and 85 losses.
A veteran, Song Seung-jun.
Even for this veteran,
this crisis isn't easy to overcome.
It goes in. Strike.
1 STRIKE
-Good.
-Nice.
2ND PITCH, FOUL
ANOTHER FOUL
Another foul.
Two fouls in a row.
MONSTERS 4 : 2 CHOONGAM
Cho Hyeon-min on third.
Lee Chung-heon on second.
Kim Min-seok on first.
This must be his best pitch.
And…
This game isn't over yet.
Once Choongam High decides to focus,
they become the most focused.
They deserve lots of compliments today.
Choongam High won't
end this chance too easily.
We should switch him out.
Seung-jun is done. He threw 58.
Song Seung-jun should
use his last drop of energy
and throw a pitch
to make him hit a grounder.
Hong-ku, let's stop him.
I think he'll hit it.
You think he'll hit it?
Second-year, Lee Seong-hyeon,
up against Song Seung-jun,
a 43-year-old pitcher.
-And he hits!
-Go.
Hurry.
OKAY!
Song Seung-jun, a 43-year-old pitcher.
-And he hits!
-Go.
-Go!
-He catches.
And home. He's out.
To the third!
And home. He's out.
-Hong-ku couldn't throw.
-He couldn't throw.
Third, man!
THROW TO THE 3RD!
TROUBLED
Hong-ku.
COME ON, HONG-KU…
DEVASTATED
Let me explain the situation.
Seo Dong-wook caught the ball
after it was bounced.
Lee Hong-ku should've thrown
to the third, not first.
He should've thrown to the third.
There were runners
to go to the second and the first.
THEY COULD'VE HAD A DOUBLE PLAY
Lee Hong-ku is a bit out of it.
He did the same before.
The catcher is rather shaky today.
He can't throw the ball today.
-He can't.
-Exactly.
He has to throw it,
but he can't throw with the yips.
He can't do it.
YIPS: ANXIETY IN FAILURE
TO THROW WITH ACCURACY
STRESS AND OTHER REASONS
CAUSE THIS ANXIETY SYMPTOM
It's my psychological anxiety.
It feels like
the ball will fall out if I throw it hard.
I think this situation broke out
because I'm taken over by that thought.
This means we didn't get two outs.
Only one out, yet all bases are loaded.
1 OUT, FULL BASE
Good one, Dong-wook.
One at a time. It's fine.
SIGH…
He didn't look too well.
He was scared to throw the ball.
So I kept my eyes on him.
I had the same experience
when I was 20 and 21.
It looked like he had bigger pressure
than how I was back then.
That's why I realized right away
that it would be a tough game.
IT WILL BE A TOUGH GAME…
But we're still players,
so I shared this with Hong-ku too.
If it doesn't work, make it work.
That it's our fate.
We were formerly professional players.
IT'S FATE AS PROFESSIONALS
I must break out of this myself.
I need to overcome this.
HE MUST OVERCOME THIS
PLEASE…
-It's a hit.
-It's close.
It's close.
It's a hit.
It drops at an odd place.
THE BALL DROPS AT AN ODD PLACE!
The runners on the third
and the second both return home.
It's a tie.
Choongam High creates a tie.
That was Im Jun-ha's timely hit!
BUSTLING WITH EXCITEMENT
THE CRISIS FOR MONSTERS
DOESN'T SEEM TO END
Disappointing defense by the Monsters.
Choongam High turns the game into a tie.
PITCHER: SONG SEUNG-JUN
ANOTHER TIMEOUT
-Good job.
-Yes.
Song Seung-jun was the second pitcher,
and he's done.
He leaves the mound
after allowing them to tie.
Which pitcher will come after him?
It's not Yoo Hee-kwan!
It's Rhee Dae-eun!
One out, runners on first, second.
MANAGER LEE CHOOSES RHEE DAE-EUN!
He chose Rhee Dae-eun.
Whenever he was on the mound,
he either let the batter walk
or let them hit.
Rhee Dae-eun made us
question him a little.
HOWEVER
It looks like Dae-eun is doing well.
Nice pitch.
I got up saying I can do it.
And I knew I had to stop them at any cost.
We had to win this game no matter what.
The score is four to four, a tie.
One out, runners
on first and second bases.
The third pitcher of this game is
on the mound.
It's a bunt?
RUNS OUT QUICKLY
For now, it's a strike.
Seong-hyeon! Go far.
SEONG-HYEON! GO FAR WITH YOUR LEAD!
Watch him run, Hong-ku!
Watch him run.
-Over there!
-Falls back. Two strikes.
He's moving.
The runner reaches the third.
GRUNT
SIGH…
Manager Lee Young-bok told him
to lead by a lot.
That's how he stole another base.
You're right.
He didn't catch it. It's a foul.
HE MISSES A FOUL TIP
-Okay!
-We're doing well!
TWO STRIKES, ONE OUT
That's quite disappointing.
He threw it out of the box,
yet it became a foul.
IF HONG-KU CAUGHT IT,
IT'D HAVE BEEN OUT
Lee's catches are disappointing.
Overall, things seem insecure.
-He can't catch as he likes.
-No.
He must focus. Lee Hong-ku must focus.
He needs to block well too.
His catches aren't great. Get it?
When the catcher throws, just run.
You can run.
Just run.
CRAWLS OUT
-Swing and miss.
-Right there!
Strikeout.
RUNNER ON 1ST ENDS UP ON 2ND
Runner on first makes it to the second.
Hong-ku is in trouble.
FULL OF WORRIES
But the batter is struck out. Two outs.
Batter three, Woo Seung-won is at bat.
BATTER 3, WOO SEUNG-WON
Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound
while his team is in a crisis.
First pitch, it's outside.
(THAT'S FAST…)
-That's 143km/h.
-That was 143km/h.
That was 143km/h.
Rhee Dae-eun throws
the fastest pitch among the Monsters.
But Woo Seung-won also made
multiple hits today.
He records a single and a double.
2 BALLS
-Strike.
-It's deep into his torso.
Okay, nice pitch. Dae-eun, nice ball.
DAE-EUN, NICE BALL!
Batter three stays calm
despite such great pitches.
-Strike.
-And Rhee Dae-eun continues to pitch
within the strike zone.
Rhee Dae-eun is in great condition.
His splitters
and four-seams are both great.
I'm not sure what he'll choose.
But he needs to throw for victory.
Four to four, a tie.
MONSTERS 4 : 4 CHOONGAM
Rhee Dae-eun stands on the mound
as he faces the danger
of losing the lead.
The ball drops.
2 STRIKES
Good. Nice pitch.
He's different
from the previous three games.
Completely different.
He holds it.
-Good.
-Good catch.
He must make a difficult pitch.
Monsters cannot allow
Kim Dong-heon to come out.
THE BATTER HAS TO FINISH THIS!
One last pitch will decide this battle.
The pitch flies out of the zone.
Four balls. He walks out
to the empty first base.
ANOTHER FULL BASE
-That was 145km/h.
-He wasn't going to hit.
THE RESULT IS DISAPPOINTING,
BUT THE PROCESS IS PROMISING!
Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.
BATTER 4, KIM DONG-HEON COMES OUT
My pitches were stable,
and I thought it was all well.
I figured I could throw harder.
The pitch flies out completely.
A SUDDEN WILD PITCH
Come in! Okay!
Take it! Okay.
The third-base runner comes in.
MONSTERS 4 : 5 CHOONGAM
HE THREW A WILD PITCH IN THIS CRISIS
Rhee Dae-eun's wild pitch
allows Monsters to lose their lead.
I never imagined that.
Rhee Dae-eun had been pitching well,
so this was unimaginable.
That pitch was unfathomable as a pitcher.
A pitcher can throw to the catcher
even as he slips and falls.
I don't get it either.
CK Monsters loses the lead
by five to four.
Choongam High now leads the game.
2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD
Although he lost one point,
Rhee Dae-eun must do everything
to stop this situation.
He must be aggressive.
If a four-seam is too much,
he should continue to throw splitters.
PRESSURE
The pitch hits the batter.
Man, what's with me?
FRUSTRATED
HE STRUGGLES TO THROW
AND LOSES CONFIDENCE
I keep doing this. It's driving me crazy.
What will he do?
Kim Dong-heon takes the first base.
He suddenly collapsed.
We shouldn't relax
until the game ends.
Once again, full base.
Chae-ul.
Okay. Let's go.
FIRST PITCH, 1 BALL
The first pitch isn't in the zone.
THEY'RE SHAKEN UP
Choongam now has the chance
to corner them completely.
-He can't control it.
-Near his torso again.
-Two balls.
-He's suddenly shaken.
Chae-ul.
It's small.
Look for the small zone and swing.
SIGH
-It's too high.
-The ball is high at full base.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop's face hardens.
In the middle. The dead center.
Don't swing unless it's there.
Choongam now has the chance
to corner them completely.
The pitcher will now pitch to the center.
He must now swing as hard as he can.
DAE-EUN'S WIFE: HONEY, PLEASE…
And four balls!
FOUR BALLS
ASTONISHED…
ANOTHER POINT LOST WITH FOUR BALLS
He wasn't going to do it.
He wasn't going to hit.
It's full base,
and the last pitch was a ball.
CK Monsters give up another point.
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
Okay, let's stay focused!
Darn it.
I couldn't pitch.
If I continued to pitch like this,
I'd feel so bad for my team.
I really wanted to ask him
to switch me out.
I was that out of it.
The bottom of the 6th continues
for 22 minutes.
2 OUTS, FULL BASE
The happy ending doesn't seem imminent
for CK Monsters in this inning.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE
THE HAPPY ENDING TO THIS INNING
Here's how scary Choongam is.
They went in a round in this inning.
That means the first batter is at bat
the second time in the same inning.
If Rhee Dae-eun cannot show what he has,
he must be switched out
with Shim Soo-chang.
He cannot seem to continue
in this situation.
Rhee Dae-eun must pitch
thinking this batter is
the last one he'll pitch to.
HE MUST SHOW HIS BEST
Let's switch if he fails here.
Okay.
-Then Soo-chang must pitch the rest?
-Yes.
THUD
IT'S A GOOD HIT!
It's a hit. It goes down the center.
Behind the center fielder.
-Hey!
-No.
The Monsters are in a crisis.
They stopped smiling.
NO ONE SMILES IN THE MONSTERS' DUGOUT
Both teams stopped cheering.
A DESPERATE FIGHT FOR VICTORY
They must refrain
from losing additional points.
THE DEFENSE OF CK MONSTERS COLLAPSE
-Hurry up!
-He runs in.
The hole in the Monsters' defense
is starting to get bigger.
-Behind you!
-It bounces back.
And he returns home!
THE AIR CHANGES
BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS
YOON YEONG-CHEOL,
THE MONSTER ON THE MOUND
SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT
STRIKEOUT
WHO'LL WIN IN THE END?
Subtitle translation by: Eun-sook Yoon

-He hits!
-Okay, go!
This hit goes to the outfield!
THEIR SKILLS ARE AS EXPECTED
OF THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
CHOONGAM IS THE BEST
IT'S THE ACE
WHO WILL DISCOURAGE CHOONGAM
Three-pitch strikeout.
HE HITS!
It flies high to the right!

THE MONSTERS WIN IN THE END
1ST MATCH
CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL 3 : 6 CK MONSTERS
WE'RE VERY DETERMINED TODAY
THEY WILL HAVE A HARD TIME
TODAY WE WILL WIN NO MATTER WHAT
His pitch is better than last time.
THE RESOLUTE CHOONGAM'S ACE
YOON YEONG-CHEOL IS BACK
THIS IS NUTS
-Throw it!
-The first hitter.
Slide!
He is out on second base!
-This is brutal.
-He hits!
CHOONGAM PLAYS BRUTALLY
CHOONGAM HAS BECOME MUCH STRONGER
WE CAN'T LOSE
Pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol.
-It's gone.
-It's going.
He throws it to home plate!
THE MONSTERS WON'T
LET THEM HAVE IT EASY
WE'RE THE BEST
He bunts the first pitch.
YOU GUYS ARE DEAD, I TOLD YOU
-Get over it!
-He hits!
Shortstop catches it! First base.
-Yes!
-He did it!
THE MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS
IS HEATING UP
-He did it!
-This is frustrating.
-The runner is safe again.
-Go!
A NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MATCH
THEY'RE MORE THAN DESPERATE
THEY CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR EYES
AN UNBELIEVABLE GAME BEGINS
SEOUL
GOCHEOK SKY DOME
It's been a while.
We haven't played in three weeks, right?
-It's been a month.
-We're playing after a month.
-Yes, that's right.
-Gosh.
The break was too long.
WHAT?
-What?
-What's up with the uniforms?
What's going on?
-Away colors?
-What?
REVEALING THE MONSTERS' AWAY UNIFORM
-What's this?
-Away uniforms.
-They look great.
-Jeez.
It looks amazing.
-Hong-ku, isn't it cool?
-Yes?
I mean this. Isn't this cool?
ISN'T MY MVP MEDAL COOL?
LAUGHING
Goodness. What's wrong with my arm?
He's going to brag for a long time.
I hope he does badly today.
THIS IS A HOME RUN SWING
I got the swing balanced.
JEEZ!
-Welcome.
-Hey.
-Hi.
-What's up?
What's up with the uniform?
OH
Will my locker fall because they're heavy?
-Hee-kwan has two.
-Two medals.
My locker might fall
because they hung two medals.
Hee-kwan.
Keun-woo became quiet.
Was Keun-woo chatty before I came?
-He was.
-No, I wasn't. I'm gentle.
-Are you?
-I'm always gentle.
-Hello.
-Hello!
AFTER THE PITCHERS
Hello.
What's this?
-Hello.
-Hello.
You sounded like you'd never play again
-when you retired yesterday.
-Seriously.
I'm playing baseball again
after six hours.
I thought it was Soo-chang's
retirement ceremony, not Yong-taek's.
He made a round in Jamsil Sports Complex.
Why did he do that
at someone else's retirement ceremony?
WHY DID HE MAKE A ROUND?
ON THE DAY
OF YONG-TAEK'S RETIREMENT CEREMONY
YONG-TAEK AND HIS FANS
SAID THEIR GOODBYES
-Park Yong-taek!

I asked you to host
-the ceremony, not have your own.
-Well…
When the light came on,
I was going to kiss the mound
before leaving.
-Like this.
-I mean…
Until what time did you give autographs?
-Until 3:30 a.m.
-Until 3:30 a.m?
I saw a comment online that read,
"It's 12:30 a.m."
-"I'm leaving now."
-Yes, I saw that.

-Congratulations, Yong-taek.
-Thank you.
-I'm sorry I couldn't be there.
-It's okay.
YONG-TAEK, CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you.
All right.
I'll tell you the starting members first.
-Number one, Keun-woo.
-Yes, sir.
-Number two, Seong-hoon.
-Yes, sir.
-First.
-Yes, sir.
-Number three, DH, Yong-taek.

Yes. All right.
STARTING PITCHER JANG WON-SAM
Today, Won-sam is back after 63 days.
-It's been two months.
-Two months.
-It's been 63 days.
-Has it been 63 days?
Won-sam prepared well for two months,
so he's back as the starter.
I hope the outfielders
can help him out today.
And Taek-keun made
hits for six games in a row.
TAEK-KEUN MADE HITS
FOR 6 GAMES IN A ROW
-Let's go for seven games.
-I'll do my best.
In the previous game, Moon-ho…
(ME…?)
You tried to bunt
during a tiebreaker, right?
-Yes.
-It was fake bunt
and slash. You failed to do that.
And you failed to bunt.
(GIGGLING)
HE FAILED TO NOT LAUGH…
You failed to get on base
and got struck out.
Please be professional
and don't make mistakes.
It's our first back-to-back match.
Keep in mind that
we're playing tomorrow too.
We have five pitchers.
Won-sam, Soo-chang, Seung-jun,
Dae-eun, Hee-kwan. There are five of you.
The five of you
have to pitch until tomorrow.
You should pitch as little as possible.
-That's all.
-I'm sorry.
Why are those two sitting here?
WHY ARE THE COMMENTATOR
AND CASTER SITTING HERE?
-We were told to come here.
-Did the writer say that?
No, Manager Lee did.
STEALING ATTENTION
He told me to come
because it's really important.
I won't come tomorrow.
-Okay. Let's go.
-Let's go.
Gosh.
Quickly. Get ready. You have an hour.
-Long time no see.
-It's good to see you.
How have you been?
We lost the first round,
so we were heartbroken.
Today, we're determined.
Are the players ready?
My players are more ready
than the manager is.
-Is that so?
-Yes.
How are they ready?
Well, I can't tell you.
I see.
You'll know when you watch the game today.
We'll make sure to win.
They'll be crushed today.
LAUGHING OUT LOUD
It's their day to be crushed.
30 MINUTES BEFORE THE GAME
WON-SAM WARMS
IN THE CORNER IN ADVANCE
How do you feel?
-I'm good.
-Are you all right?
-He looks good today.
-I had a nap.
-Won-sam, you look like you need protein.
-Yes.
-Protein?
-Try this.
Soo-chang got this for you.
SOO-CHANG'S SECRET DRINK
This is good.
-Good job, Soo-chang.
-It's good.
Since you aren't playing,
you should at least do this.
-Can I have one?
-Yes.
It's really good.
I like it because it isn't heavy.
It's not heavy at all.
If I had it when I was a player,
-I would've played five more years.
-Yes.
I'll drink this and rip it on the mound.
-Yes, rip it.
-Is it enough protein?
I'll rip the catcher's mitt.
I'LL RIP THE CATCHER'S MITT!
You look good today.
Won-sam, I have a good feeling.
-Finish your warm-up.
-Okay.
-Okay, let's go.
-Good luck.
You didn't get me anything
when I was the starter.
I would've pitched well if you did.
HOW CAN WE GET YOU SOMETHING
WHEN YOU DON'T PITCH?
It's the first
back-to-back match of the season.
Choongam is waiting for the game.
Hello, everyone. A Clean Sweep
will have a game
between Choongam High School
and CK Monsters.
Commentator Kim Sun-woo is here.
-Hello.
-Hello.
So far,
A Clean Sweep had one game per week.
They'll play two days in a row
for the first time.
How to start
the back-to-back match is important.
It's a lot of pressure
because CK Monsters
have only five pitchers.
Back-to-back is difficult for them.
They're playing Choongam today.
It's the second round with Choongam
after a 49-day hiatus.
I think we'll win today.
I'd like to say sorry in advance.
We'll advance to the third match
and win the last game.
Today's goal is not to allow any runs
and five strikeouts.
-Good luck.
-Good luck.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
Good luck.
High schoolers are fast.
Defense, get ready.
Okay.
They're going to move a lot.
-Keep it in mind.
-Okay.
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
-Let's go, CK Monsters!
LET'S GO, CK MONSTERS!
You have to play well today
without any mistakes.
If we lose today, there is no tomorrow.
We must win today.
Don't be nervous.
Think about what you need to do.
Do what you need to do. Okay?
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
All right.
Exciting clap!
-Go!
-Go!
Let's…
-Go!
-Go!
LET'S DO THIS!
-Defense, go.
-Let's go, defense.
Let's go.
A MYSTERIOUS MAN CALLED
SEOLKKACHIBAL GOES ON THE MOUND
Seolkkachibal just came in.
It's Lee Su-geun.
Seolkkachibal.
THOSE WHO KNOW SEOL KKA-CHI LAUGH
Seol Kka-chi.
-His nickname is awesome.
-Seolkkachibal.
Seolkkachibal?
The number on the back is 160.
That's not pitching speed.
It's his height.
IT'S HIS HEIGHT, NOT PITCHING SPEED
Between you and Su-geun, who is taller?
I'm much taller.
JEONG YONG-GEOM, 161CM (ESTIMATED)
I'm comedian Lee Su-geun. Hello.
IT'S A CELEBRITY
Today…
Thank you for inviting me
to do the ceremonial first pitch
for A Clean Sweep,
the most popular show of 2022.
Actually, my two sons graduated
from Choongam Elementary School.
So I have some relation to Choongam.
Choongam High School, good luck.
CK Monsters, let's go!
Good luck!
GOOD LUCK!
LAUGHING
Jeong Keun-woo.
WE MEET ON THE BASEBALL FIELD
Lee Su-geun.
Seolkkachibal will throw
the ceremonial first pitch.
SIDEARM?
(LOOK AT THAT)
-Good pitch!
-Nice.
I FOUND MY 6TH PITCHER
-He's a good pitcher.
-He's similar to Soo-chang.
What?
He's good at playing soccer,
and he's good at playing baseball too.
Let's go!
He's good at playing sports.
HE THREW SIDEARM
He threw a sidearm.
The ball went outward and in the mitt.
The pitching mechanics were perfect.
-Keun-woo was shocked.
-He was good.
-Yes, he had the moves.
-Yes.
He's Seolkkachibal.
Lee Su-geun threw the ceremonial
first pitch to start the game.
Let's start the show
with a round of applause!
KID CHEERLEADERS PUT ON A SHOW
CUTE
TA-DA
GOOD JOB
PERFECT TEAMWORK
Scream!
Please give it up! Thank you!
That's the most people we've had.
More people are here
than at Yong-taek's retirement ceremony.
We're getting ready
for the second match with Choongam.
CK Monsters will be at bat first.
Number one, Jeong Keun-woo.
Number two, Jeong Seong-hoon.
Number three, Park Yong-taek.
Number four, Jung Eui-yoon.
Number five, Lee Taek-keun.
Number six, Seo Dong-wook.
Number seven, Kim Moon-ho.
Number eight, Lee Hong-ku.
Number nine, Ryu Hyun-in.
Yoon Jun-ho isn't here
with CK Monsters today.
He couldn't join them
because he had another game.
The catcher should never make any mistakes
because it's a back-to-back game.
Pitchers can't throw a lot,
so the catcher has to
keep the runners in check,
block the balls,
and let the pitchers throw less.
The catcher's role is very important.
That's right.
Manager Lee Young-bok said
that since the first episode aired,
a friend that hasn't been in contact
in 30 years called him.
It means that he has to win
to save his face.
I'm sure he's thinking that.
He didn't come here
without thinking anything.
He's going to win
and go to the next match.
-Right.
-That's why Lee Ho-jin is pitching.
-Yes.
-He's a deceptive pitcher.
He's going to steal timing.
That's right.
All right. We're getting ready
for the second match
between Choongam and CK Monsters.
Now it's starting.
-All right.
-Let's go!
Hitter number one
Jeong Keun-woo is at bat.
Currently, he has number one
home runs, batting average,
and the least strikeouts in CK Monsters.
REASSURED
The first pitch was a strike
that came in from outside.
NICE FIRST PITCH!
He pitches like this.
-He throws like this.
-Isn't it like this?
He has a unique pitching form.
Keun-woo is the first hitter to read this.
Keun-woo was stuck out only once
in six games.
The first pitch was a strike.
Jeong Keun-woo bunts!
No! Leave it!
No! Leave it!
-It goes outside the line.
-Foul!
OH, MAN…
So close.
Should I have taken care of it?
It's okay.
Choongam players didn't look flustered.
They looked like they were smiling.
I believe catcher Kim Dong-heon read it.
It'll be interesting to see
how he acts as the commander-in-chief.
That's right.
Catcher Lee Ho-jin has a favorable count.
Hitter Jeong Keun-woo
has no count to spare.
The ball slips. It's not out.
NOT OUT
Go!
The ball skipped.
Keun-woo dashes to first base.
Run! Faster!
HE CATCHES IT QUICKLY
AND THROWS IT TO 1ST BASE!
Quickly to first base.
It was perfect. Uncaught third strike.
Jeong Keun-woo is out. One out.
1 OUT
Okay! Nice defense! Good!
-Keun-woo, was it a circle?
-Changeup.
-It was a changeup.
-It fell really nicely.
Keun-woo ran very fast.
But Kim Dong-heon
threw quickly and calmly.
THE CATCHER'S NICE DEFENSE
GOT HIM OUT
He's a good catcher.
His changeup fell nicely.
-I haven't played in a while.
-You lost the feeling.
-I lost the sense of distance.
-Right.
-I thought so.
-Jeez.
Hitter number two
Jeong Seong-hoon is at bat.
The genius is here.
Dong-heon, this man is good.
DONG-HEON, THIS MAN IS GOOD!
Currently, Seong-hoon's
batting average is 0,417.
Manager Lee put him second today
to use various strategies when Keun-woo
gets on base.
He's able to hit
according to all kinds of situations.
That's right.
BUT KEUN-WOO IS OUT…
-A breaking ball. A strike.
-Strike!
-Okay!
-Nice.
Nice ball. Good job.
His breaking ball is good.
He's kind of like me.
(LAUGHING)
ANOTHER BREAKING BALL
-Don't be intimidated.
-Keep it up.
He's throwing breaking balls
to make a favorable count. That's amazing.
He's making
the count favorable to the pitcher.
If a genius can't hit it, nobody can.
He hits.
It flies high.
STARING
CHOONGAM HIGH SCHOOL
-It's going.
-It's going.
Isn't it gone?
IT'S GONE…
Behind the left fielder.
It's big!
-Behind the left fielder.
-It's gone!
It goes over the fence!
IT'S A HOME RUN!
A man called genius.
Jeong Seong-hoon hits a solo home run.
-He's a genius.
-He really is.
-Awesome.
-Ho-jin.
It's okay.
He's good. He still got it.
Jeong Seong-hoon scores a point.
MONSTERS 1 : 0 CHOONGAM
HERE COMES THE GENIUS!
Jeez.
-That was good.
-Nice.
-Genius!
-Good job.
-Was it a changeup?
-Yes.
-Changeup.
-Nice.
Amazing.
It's been years since he retired.
But he hit a home run.
The changeup was a bit high.
But Jeong Seong-hoon hit it very lightly.
It wasn't a full swing.
But it was a home run
that hit the top of the outfield.
Amazing.
HE SURE IS A GENIUS…
When Seong-hoon's solo home run
still lingers,
Park Yong-taek is at bat.
The pitcher kept throwing
changeups fearlessly and got strikes.
But one high changeup
resulted in a home run.
Still, he shouldn't be afraid.
He still has to be aggressive.
Right.
BALL
ANOTHER BALL
Gosh.
It's probably because of the home run.
Hey, keep it up. It's okay. Nice ball.
Jeez.
CHOONGAM
Left-handed pitcher Lee Ho-jin.
It is a fastball.
But since the home run,
he lets a hitter walk.
Hitter number four
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
-Run!
-The ball hits the edge.
Run!
He couldn't catch it.
Runners are safe.
Ho-jin got up.
But all the runners are safe.
Get Yeong-cheol ready.
We can't let them score more.
Yeong-cheol.
HE QUICKLY MAKES THE WINNING MOVE
Timeout!
Manager Lee
visits the mound after four hitters.
He's trying to buy time.
Also, he's giving some pointers
to cheer the pitcher up.
Because he had really good changeups.
Home runs and four balls can't be allowed.
I told you to take it easy.
Don't get discouraged by a home run.
-Home run is okay.
-Yes.
It's okay to allow a home run.
-Take it easy.
-Yes, sir.
Choongam is not having a good flow.
For all six games,
Taek-keun has made hits.
HEY, COME ON TAEK-KEUN!
2ST BASE RUNNER YONG-TAEK
1ST BASE RUNNER EUI-YOON
The first pitch.
-The ball hits the batter.
-He's done.
THE FIRST PITCH HITS THE BATTER!
After the home run,
he let all three batters go on base.
Manager Lee visits the mound again.
Why are you pitching like that?
After striking one batter out…
HO-JIN FEELS TERRIBLE
Goodness.
-Give me the ball.
-Yes.
-Well done.
-Yes.
The starter Lee Ho-jin leaves the mound.
THIS IS IT FOR HO-JIN
I know how the starter feels.
FEELING BAD FOR HIM
Leaving the mound
after 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
-I know how that feels.
-The ace is up right away.
NOT INTERESTED
ACE YOON YEONG-CHEOL
SHOWS UP WITH A SMILE
-Stop them from scoring.
-Yes, sir.
The second pitcher
Yoon Yeong-cheol is on the mound.
-He made the under-18 national team again.
-I see.
They say he's the number one
left-handed pitcher
-in the high school league.
-Good.
YOON YEONG-CHEOL
What? His practice pitch is 141km/h.
He looks like he's in a good condition.
They say he can pitch fastballs.
But he took it easy
because he has to pitch a lot.
I told him to throw with power.
He's up early.
It's one out and full bases
in the first inning.
No other pitchers can pitch.
Because they can't lose any points.
Choongam has to minimize the score gap.
Right.
If we bring him down, it's a called game.
THE GAME IS OVER
IF YEONG-CHEOL IS DOWN!
He is faced with Seo Dong-wook first.
Dong-wook should bat with his left hand.
He didn't allow any hits
with the left-handed batters.
To the outfield!
Let's go!
SWITCH HITTER DONG-WOOK
STANDS ON THE RIGHT
Let's hit one. If we do, it's over.
The dugout looks nervous.
Can Yeong-cheol solve the problem?
He swings at the first pitch.
Okay! Good!
You have to stop him.
Stop him, Yeong-cheol!
You enjoy a situation like this.
-Okay!
-It skips off the bat.
It's strike two.
If we don't score
when it's one out and full bases,
we may have a crisis in the bottom half.
We have to score.
We have to score here.
WE CAN'T HAVE THAT
Yeong-cheol is nervous too,
but the first and second pitches
were strikes.
What he has to do here
is throw a breaking ball.
Can he control
his pitch in a situation like this?
CAN HE CONTROL HIS PITCH
UNDER PRESSURE?
Count! Strikeout!
HE TAKES A HITTER OUT WITH 3 PITCHES
-Yeong-cheol needed only three balls.
-Give me.
Two outs.
NICE BALL!
That's it, Yeong-cheol!
WOW…
Nice pitch.
He threw a four-seam.
SHOCKED BY HIS GUTS
He threw one right in the middle
when it was two strikes.
I don't think it was a mistake.
It was confidence.
Catcher Kim Dong-heon
and pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol
showed perfect teamwork.
What Manager Lee
pictured played out so far.
Kim Moon-ho as to change it up right now.
There's only one out left
until the next inning.
It's Yoon Yeong-cheol versus Kim Moon-ho.
THERE'S ONLY ONE OUT LEFT
MOVING
-It's close to the body.
-Is it?
-It skips off the bat. A sharp foul.
-It's okay.
Great! He can't hit your ball!
He threw a tight pitch
in a nerve-racking situation.
It's hard.
Even a professional player can't do it.
-But he boldly did it.
-Right.
EVERYONE IS ASTONISHED
-He's good.
-He can pitch.
He gets it in.
-He has good control.
-Yes.
He's a better version of Hee-kwan.
He's good. His changeup is good.
His pitch is 25km/h
faster than Hee-kwan's.
-But his control is different.
-It's different.
LEFT-ARM, CONTROL,
CHANGEUP, PLUS SPEED
It's another tight one.
-Another tight one.
-It goes left.
It goes up high. Foul territory.
They're unable to catch.
What's surprising is that
he threw two tight ones.
This shows his confidence.
RESPECT
He can control the pitch. That's rare.
Actually, it's a really great thing.
If we can't score
when the bases are full, it'll be bad.
-Right. It's only one out.
-The bases are loaded.
Dong-wook should've hit a sacrifice fly.
MONSTERS 1 : 0 CHOONGAM
Get him, Yeong-cheol!
You can stop him.
Let's do it.
YEONG-CHEOL, LET'S DO THIS!
Let's go.
What will he request?
Catcher Kim Dong-heon sits outside.
-Outside?
-It's a slider.
PLEASE, MOON-HO
PLEASE, YEONG-CHEOL
And…
it goes in outside! Strikeout looking!
ANOTHER BOLD FASTBALL
-Okay!
-Nice Yeong-cheol!
It's 144km/h.
That's Yeong-cheol.
He made everyone at Choongam smile.
That was pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol.
-Yeong-cheol, good job.
-Yes, sir.
HE'S LIKE A DISASTER TO THE MONSTERS
Nice ball. I agree.
That was 144km/h.
-He's gotten better than last time.
-Yes.
He's more powerful than before.
(THIS IS NOT GOOD…)
He's good.
HE'S SURPRISED AGAIN…
-Amazing.
-He's good.
The pitch toward the body
when Moon-ho was at bat was amazing.
-Of course.
-It's impossible to do.
I was surprised.
He got two strikeouts in a row.
HE TOOK OUT TWO HITTERS
WITH TWO STRIKEOUTS
-Yeong-cheol, good job.
-Yes, sir.
Yeong-cheol did a great job. Good defense.
You played defense really well.
Now we have to be good at-bat.
The pitchers have a lot of experience.
So you can't swing at any pitch.
You have to hold back.
You have to swing only at the good ones.
Make them pitch for a long time.
-Got it?
-Yes, sir!
Go.
-Let's go.
-Go!
Go!
Let's go!
He stopped them well.
STILL SATISFIED
BOTTOM OF THE 1ST INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 0 CHOONGAM
It's the bottom of the first inning.
Choongam is at bat.
Jeez.
-I'm nervous.
-Good luck.
All right.
It's pitcher Jang Won-sam.
He pitched on May 2nd
when they played Duksoo.
He's back as the starter
after a 63-day hiatus.
He went through a difficult rehabilitation
and came back pretty quickly
after his injury.
It's been two months.
I remember the date. It was May 2nd.
I practiced enough to pitch for a game.
BLINKING
I'm sure he wants to show a lot of things.
He hasn't been able to play for a while.
He saw the other players
having a hard time.
I want Won-sam to shine today.
Yes.
Won-sam, let's go!
-Let's go!
-Jang Won-sam!
Now, number one hitter
Im Jun-ha is at bat.
Jun-ha, watch carefully.
-Don't rush it.
-Let's go.
Let's get on base from the start, Jun-ha!
-Ball.
-Won-sam's first pitch.
It goes outward.
-Good eye.
-Nice.
Good eye!
Im Jun-ha is at bat.
He can run very fast.
If he gets on base,
he'll put a lot of pressure on us.
He'll get on base.
HIT!
Jeez, what's this?
COULD IT BE?
An ambiguous course. It goes up high.
It's a lucky hit that falls
in front of the right fielder.
WE LOVE A HIT!
-Good!
-Jun-ha!
Im Jun-ha gets on first base.
NO OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Hitter number two Lee Seon-u is at bat.
NEXT IS HITTER NUMBER 2 LEE SEON-U
STEAL A BASE
(GOT IT)
Keeping the runner close to the base.
Currently, catcher Yoon Jun-ho
is ranked number one
when it comes to stopping
the runners from stealing bases.
It's .500.
Lee Hong-ku isn't as good as Jun-ho.
So they're going to run from the start.
STEALING A BASE 100 PERCENT
BUNT
GOT IT
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
USES AGGRESSIVE STRATEGIES
It's the first inning. No outs.
Runner on first base.
Choongam is going to bunt.
One ball, one strike.
THE BALL GOES BACK!
-Swing!
-Go there!
Go!
What? Didn't he get hit?
It's a foul.
It's a foul. It made a noise.
He got hit after he swung.
HE CALLS IT A DEAD BALL
-Go back.
-What is it?
-Did the ball hit the bat?
-Let me explain.
When a hitter swings,
if he doesn't get hit,
the runner can run
because the ball is considered in play.
But he swung.
It should've counted as a strike.
But the ball hit the hitter.
-So the runner can't move.
-No, he has to return.
Right.
Won-sam isn't fully recovered.
He needs to overcome the situation
where he can't pitch with full power.
Go!
It flies high.
A DOUBLE PLAY COURSE
That's it.
DISAPPOINTED…
It flies high.
-The second baseman.
-Tag!
He couldn't tag him!
He can't throw it anywhere!
THAT'S IT!
I wonder what just happened.
It looks like
Keun-woo couldn't catch it at once.
He was going to catch it quickly,
tag him, and throw the ball.
He couldn't send the ball.
A player who never makes mistakes
made a mistake.
So this is a big crisis.
He has short arms.
He should've tagged like this.
-It's recorded as a mistake.
-Yes.
Timeout!
Manager Lee is having a timeout now
because Won-sam doesn't look like
he's in good condition.
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
-I keep slipping.
-It's okay.
-Let's get one out at a time.
-Yes.
-We have one point.
-Yes.
The best defender Keun-woo made a mistake.
It's unbelievable.
So the manager is reassuring the players.
Yes.
Jeong Seong-hoon hit a solo home run,
so CK Monsters scored the first point.
Now, there's a runner who can catch up.
He bunts!
-Second base!
-No!
First base! He's safe!
All runners are safe again!
NO OUTS AND LOADED BASES!
He ran right away.
How can he run right away?
The hit was a little off.
The pitcher has to make a decision.
Because the ball went up,
they thought the runners couldn't run.
So they were going to send it
to third base. But, no.
-He had a good start.
-Yes.
If you look at third base,
then throw it to first base,
the runner will be safe no matter what.
How can
these legendary players
keep making mistakes like this?
I can't believe it.
A three-week break
made them dull.
The Monsters
are faced with another crisis.
The bases are loaded.
NO OUTS, FULL BASES
Hitter number four
Kim Dong-heon is at bat.
He hits!
HE HITS!
It goes up high.
NO WAY
IS IT A HOME RUN?
It is caught
by the left fielder Jung Eui-yoon.
He caught it. Third base runner tags up.
He reaches home.
Choongam catches up with the Monsters.
LET'S TURN THE TABLES AROUND!
This is what I think.
They're good at playing baseball.
-Yes, they really are.
-Yes.
Park Chae-ul is at bat now.
BATTER NUMBER 5 PARK CHAE-UL
Go!
-Jeez.
-Far pitch.
-Lee Hong-ku catches it.
-This is hard.
Manager Lee Young-bok
keeps sending the balls
to the infield because the Monsters
keep getting flustered
and making mistakes.
Instead of hitting the balls.
Make the misters tired.
Keep pressuring them.
Third and first basemen are slightly
playing the infield.
Hitter number five Park Chae-ul.
He hits! It bounces off the mound!
-Shortstop!
-Good!
-Double play.
-That's it!
He hits! It bounces off the mound!
Shortstop!
He got it, but he couldn't throw it.
-He couldn't send it.
-He didn't come in.
Shortstop Ryu Hyun-in got the ball,
but it left the glove.
CK Monsters played
another disappointing defense.
They're putting themselves in trouble.
THE MONSTERS ARE
GETTING THEMSELVES IN TROUBLE
-He caught it well.
-Why isn't the game playing out?
FRUSTRATED
LET'S TURN THE TABLES AROUND!
You guys are dead today.
It's not working out.
The Monsters still need two outs.
Won-sam isn't
getting any help from the defense.
The number of pitches is increasing.
1 OUT, FULL BASES
Batter number six Cho Hyeon-min is at bat.
HITTER NUMBER 6
CHO HYEON-MIN IS NEXT
WITH ONE RUN,
THE TABLES WILL BE TURNED
It lands outside again.
WON-SAM CAN'T CONTROL THE BALL
The misters are frozen today.
IF THIS CONTINUES
None of the outfields aren't smiling.
This is the second match with Choongam.
I'LL STOP THEM
FROM GETTING AHEAD OF US!
Hit it.
Hit it.
HE HITS!
He hits! The shortstop catches it.
Then he sends it to first base.
-Double play!
-It's the best.
Ryu Hyun-in! He takes care
of the regrettable situation himself.
Three outs.
Hey.
-Let's play defense.
-Okay.
Ryu Hyun-in's good defense
closes the inning.
They're still tied at one to one.
-Good.
-Good.
-Good job.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-That was tough.
Each team
had a really big "loaded bases" crisis.
But they stopped it.
Now it's one to one.
I wonder how much more exciting
this game will be.
TODAY'S GAME IS EXCITING
TOP OF THE 2ND INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 1 CHOONGAM
Now, it's the top of the second inning.
CK Monsters are at bat.
The starting hitter is Lee Hong-ku.
WILL THEY CONTINUE THIS GOOD FLOW?
Be careful.
Lee Hong-ku ranked second place
among batting averages on the team.
Yes.
-Hong-ku!
-Let's go!
-Hong-ku!
-Let's go!
He pushes. First baseman.
It's a line drive.
1 OUT
First baseman
Woo Seung-won takes care of it. One out.
-Okay!
-Slowly.
-Okay!
-That was comfortable.
Very comfortable.
(HE CAUGHT IT…)
(I CAN'T BELIEVE HE CAUGHT IT…)
Ryu Hyun-in who played
good defense is at bat.
HYUN-IN THE GOOD DEFENSE
How will he penetrate the strong defense?
He swings and misses.
It's good to swing confidently like that.
Hey! Ride it out!
The count is favorable to the pitcher.
He's up against Yoon Yeong-cheol.
He hits the far pitch.
-The pitcher catches it.
-He's good.
Yoon Yeong-cheol throws it to first base.
Two outs.
Yeong-cheol, they can't catch up.
Hyun-in hit a ground ball and he's out.
It's only the beginning of the game,
but Yoon Yeong-cheol has control
over the mound.
-That's right.
-Yes.
THE HITTERS CAN'T GET THE GAME
ON THEIR SIDE
Close pitch.
CAN KEUN-WOO CHANGE
THE FLOW OF THE GAME?
HE HITS!
He hits the second pitch,
but the third base catches it.
-Cho Hyeon-min catches it perfectly.
-Nice.
That fast pitch was turned into an out.
Yoon Yeong-cheol finishes the inning
after three hitters.
1-2-3 INNING
They can't hit your balls.
-No, sir!
-They're having a hard time.
-Yes, sir!
-Good job.
THE MONSTERS AREN'T
HAVING A GOOD GAME
BOTTOM OF 2ND INNING
MONSTERS 1 : 1 CHOONGAM
It's the bottom of the second inning.
Choongam is at bat.
Hitter number seven
Lee Chung-heon is at bat first.
THE FIRST BATTER LEE CHUNG-HEON
1 BALL
2 BALLS
Jeez.
3 BALLS
(GOOD EYE!)
-He's used to it.
-Chung-heon, good job!
Too many balls.
My injured arm can't go back
to being the way it was.
Unless I throw 150km/h,
I can't get through it.
WON-SAM IS THE MOST FRUSTRATED
MUST AVOID 4 BALLS
The course is ambiguous.
The right fielder moves and catches it.
Right fielder Kim Moon-ho.
-It's one out.
-Good job!
MANAGER LEE DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY
Designated hitter Kim Min-seok is at bat.
I still remember his play.
THE PREVIOUS 1ST MATCH
WITH CHOONGAM
-It goes to the center. Center fielder.
-He did it.
KIM MIN-SEOK HAD 2 HITS 4 AT-BATS
He had monstrous power.
Yes. He's a really good hitter.
WILL WON-SAM BE ABLE TO STOP HIM?
Jeez.
It was a tight pitch. It becomes a hit.
-That's it.
-Hey.
-This is it.
-That's power.
MONSTROUS HITTER KIM MIN-SEOK
That didn't seem like a good hit.
Take a look.
The ball skipped off the bat,
but it went over the infield.
The way he hits looks
like a bad-ball hitter.
-He's like Guerrero Junior.
-Yes.
He's pretty good.
(MESMERIZED)
Why am I getting shitty hits?
You aren't in good condition today.
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
BATTER NUMBER 9
LEE SEONG-HYEON IS AT BAT
ANOTHER SURPRISE BUNT
Lee Seong-hyeon
-bunts the first pitch.
-I'm not sure.
Leave it.
-It doesn't go out.
-It's a perfect bunt.
THE BALL SUDDENLY STOPS
Yes!
NICE BUNT!
What's going on?
It stops inside the line.
It's a fair ball.
What was that?
That bunt was perfect.
You practice bunting a thousand times.
But it's hard to succeed during a game.
The ball headed outside the line,
but then it stopped inside.
CK Monsters aren't having a good game.
It's terrible.
Jeez.
This is crazy.
ANOTHER CRISIS
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND BASES
It's one out.
Runners on first and second bases.
Jang Won-sam is getting ready
to pitch against
batter number one Im Jun-ha.
Let's go! Okay!
ANOTHER SURPRISE BUNT!
He bunts the first pitch.
Hurry up!
PLEASE!
Toward third base.
Third baseman catches it.
OUT!
Third baseman catches it. To first base.
He's safe on first base!
-Yes!
-Yes!
How can he bunt like that?
Jeez.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
Two consecutive hits made by bunting.
CK Monsters are shaking
in the second inning.
1 OUT, FULL BASES
Keun-woo.
Keun-woo!
CK Monsters are moving up
the defense to the infield.
ORDERING THE DEFENSE TO MOVE UP
Jang Won-sam is facing a crisis.
It's another crisis with loaded bases.
Won-sam has to use the infielders.
Yes.
First pitch. It goes outside. It's a ball.
-Good eye.
-Okay, you're doing well.
Good job!
It's far.
They're checking the swing.
He didn't swing.
He's holding back.
Batter number two Lee Seon-u.
The Monsters have to get
the pitchers ready.
Choongam quickly let its ace pitcher play
and avoided the crisis.
The Monsters may have to do that.
I didn't want to hurt
Won-sam's pride.
Though he was having a hard time,
and we were faced with a crisis,
I wanted to believe in him.
The bases are loaded.
Batter number two Lee Seon-u.
-Strike!
-It's a strike.
Let's go.
-Swing!
-Hey!
SWINGS AND MISSES
-Swing!
-It's in. He swung.
MONSTERS 1 : 1 CHOONGAM
Relax.
THE COUNT IS UNFAVORABLE
TO THE BATTER
WON-SAM HAS A LOT OF CHOICES
WHAT WILL HE PITCH?
Get one.
-Strike!
-Outside! Strikeout looking!
OUTSIDE STRIKE
-Strike!
-Outside! Strikeout looking!
Why didn't he hit it?
Two outs.
Pitcher Jang Won-sam got the second out
with a strikeout.
THE FIRST STRIKEOUT MAKES HIM SMILE
Timeout!
Manager Lee goes to Jang Won-sam.
-Okay. That was good.
-It was crazy.
That was crazy. Jeez.
Today's starter Jang Won-sam
threw 39 pitches and leaves the mound.
Good job.
Manager Lee chose Song Seung-jun
-as the second pitcher.
-Right.
If Choongam wins today,
tomorrow will be
the third match with Choongam.
Also, the Monsters
won't have any pitchers.
-That's right.
-This is the point.
They need to pull it together.
They need to win today.
"If we don't get over it here,
we might lose this game."
That's it.
This is weird. I have a bad feeling.
I HAVE A BAD FEELING…
SEUNG-JUN GOES ON THE MOUND
FEELING PRESSURED
WILL HE BE ABLE
TO OVERCOME THIS CRISIS?
He's heavy. He is.
DISTURBED
WE'LL WIN AND GO TO THE 3RD MATCH
NO MATTER WHAT!
The bases are loaded.
It's two outs. To get the last out,
Song Seung-jun takes the mound.
Batter number three
Woo Seung-won is at bat.
He hits the first pitch. It's a foul ball.
TOO BAD
Today's game isn't easy.
Right. It isn't.
Let's go!
-He's taking a breather.
-He is.
A seasoned pitcher does that.
I'm curious.
I'm thinking of a breaking ball.
But what's his decision?
It's a fastball.
Outside. It's a fastball at 137km/h.
Good. He's powerful today.
SEUNG-JUN MAKES IT A FAVORABLE COUNT
-Good luck.
-Go!
It's okay.
ONE MORE STRIKE
WILL MAKE A STRIKEOUT
DID HE HIT?
It drops. A strikeout!
THAT'S OUR PITCHER!
It drops. A strikeout!
DEJECTED
Song Seung-jun didn't have a crisis.
Three outs.
CK Monsters didn't lose any points.
Nice pitch.
NICE PITCH
-That was what he was going to do.
-That was cool.
I see. That's why he threw a fastball.
Seung-jun is pretty good.
LAUGHING
Now, it's the top of the third inning.
CK Monsters will be at bat.
Jeong Seong-hoon will start first.
He made the first home run
on his first at-bat in A Clean Sweep.
Yoon Yeong-cheol is still pitching.
YEONG-CHEOL TOOK 5 BATTERS OUT
WITHOUT ANY RUNS
He hits the first pitch.
A BOLD SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH
His swing is getting bigger.
-I hated facing Seong-hoon.
-I see.
-What was the reason?
-He's a good hitter.
He makes every pitch his chance and hits.
HE HITS!
He hits. It's slow.
Pitcher Yoon Yeong-cheol
sends it to first base.
It's stable. It's one out.
1 OUT
I didn't expect a slider.
Good line.
NICE BALL
The old boys are having a hard time.
The misters.
Park Yong-taek came back
to play baseball in A Clean Sweep.
What's the best hitter?
A hitter that doesn't die.
He said that getting on base
was the most important thing.
HE HITS!
-Go!
-Nice.
AN INFIELD FLY BALL
2 OUTS
WHERE DID THE BEST HITTER GO…
-It's so hard to hit Yeong-cheol's ball.
-Give me.
It'll be hard to score.
HE'S REALLY HAPPY
Jung Eui-yoon is at bat.
He's the number four batter,
but he hasn't hit a home run.
JUNG EUI-YOON IS AT BAT
(LET'S GO, HITTER NUMBER FOUR)
Let's go!
He has to hit one today.
-It's really hard to score a point.
-Yes.
It's really hard to target the pitcher.
-So he has to hit.
-Yes.
HE HITS!
He hits!
It's a hit that goes to the center.
NICE HIT
Number four hitter Jung Eui-yoon
sends one to the center.
The ball was off the strike zone,
but he made a hit.
Jung Eui-yoon did it.
Yeong-cheol is pitching today,
so it's hard to make a hit.
-Yes.
-That was a rare hit.
That was a good pitch.
He was just too good.
2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
He took out seven hitters
without letting them make a run.
Lee Taek-keun is at bat.
He made a hit at every game.
He's trustworthy.
You can trust him when he's at bat.
-That's right.
-Yes.
Be bold!
HE HITS!
He hits! The bat is broken.
This hit goes
up high and far!
-That's it.
-You did it. Run!
YOU DID IT, RUN!
-Run!
-Run!
-He moves back.
-Wait!
-He moves back. It goes…
-Wait!
-Run!
-Run!
HOME RUN?
Goodness.
THIS CAN'T HAPPEN!
-He moves back. It goes…
-Wait!
It hits the fence!
-Hurry, run!
-Home.
Eui-yoon to third base.
And he goes for more!
Stop him!
The ball is thrown to home base.
Eui-yoon is faster!
MONSTER 2 : 1 CHOONGAM
Stop!
(HE GLANCES)
TAEK-KEUN GOES FOR 3RD?
Stop.
PLEASE!
Cut him off!
He slides head first!
Taek-keun is out on third base!
-Yes!
-Okay!
WRAPS UP THE INNING
WITH MINIMAL RUNS
How did the broken bat fly over there?
Timeout!
Timeout!
-He's asking for an instant replay.
-He is.
CK MONSTERS REQUESTS
AN INSTANT REPLAY
Did you not touch it? Maybe you did.
I don't think I did.
-This is the replay.
-Let's see.
I think he dodged…
-Never mind.
-Right here.
THE RESULT IS OUT
The umpire doesn't reverse his decision.
The bat is broken.
How did it fly all the way there?
The bat broke, but he still hit the fence.
ALMOST A HOME RUN WITH A BROKEN BAT
It would've been dramatic
if it went over the fence.
-But hitting the fence is extraordinary.
-That's right.
The broken bat flew over to third base.
This is a clip worth a million views.
I'm certain of this.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE
Taek-keun is truly unbelievable.
How did the ball fly all the way there
when your bat was broken?
That's so unfair.
Lee Taek-keun hits a run
for the CK Monsters.
CK MONSTERS IS IN THE LEAD AGAIN
I told you guys to be careful this inning.
When we had two outs,
we couldn't grab the chance,
so it led to a crisis.
Yes, sir!
Grab the chance when there is one.
And those who made mistakes,
move on from them.
You just play better this inning. Got it?
-Yes, sir!
-All right. Let's play well.
Song Seung-jun takes the mound.
What they must do is
to minimize the number of pitches
for Seung-jun.
They must save it up
and take it to the sixth inning.
Maybe to sixth or seventh.
Save your number of pitches!
HE NODS
Take it slow. Make him pitch a lot.
TAKE IT SLOW
AND MAKE HIM PITCH A LOT!
THE HITTER PLANS TO MAKE HIM
USE THE PITCH COUNT
HE HITS IT
The first pitch hits.
But the shortstop fields the ball.
To first base. Out on first.
Nice.
NICE
Being so impatient again.
Impatient!
Chae-ul, take it slow.
Let's make him out in one pitch.
HE HITS!
He makes contact. First base catches it!
Seong-hoon, first base.
-Nice.
-Good.
THEY'RE SATISFIED
He's the best.
He knows how to utilize his fielders.
-That's true.
-Yes.
He's against Cho Hyeon-min,
the sixth batter.
Make him pitch a lot.
PLEASE DON'T HIT THE FIRST PITCH…
PATIENT
ANOTHER FIRST PITCH HITS!
A ground ball.
Keun-woo. Will he throw well this time?
He throws it!
-That was good.
-He's out.
AS EXPECTED, SONG SAM-BONG
Song Seung-jun gets ground balls
tricking the hitters,
and wraps up the inning,
three up, three down.
Good job.
It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
CK Monsters are at bat.
First up is the sixth batter,
Seo Dong-wook
He's on the left side again.
SIXTH BATTER, SEO DONG-WOOK
When he stood on the right side,
he was struck out.
How will it be this time?
HE HITS!
GROANING
He makes contact this time.
The ball goes over shortstop.
-Nice!
-That's it!
AS EXPECTED, PROFESSOR SEO
He doesn't lose again.
Dong-wook makes a hit on the left side.
This is good!
The baseball genius.
The used-to-be pinch hitter,
Kim Moon-ho is up.
Seo Dong-wook is on first with a hit.
A hit between first and second
would be good.
LET'S GO BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND
ROGER THAT
Third!
He makes contact. It's a fly ball.
Choongam.
They catch it!
Hyeon-min follows and catches the ball.
Darn it.
HE'S DISAPPOINTED
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Hong-ku is up next.
LEE HONG-KU,
THE 8TH BATTER IS IN THE BOX
A sharp swing!
The ball flies to the left field.
-The ball bounces off the fence!
-Good.
Seo Dong-wook runs to third base.
DONG-WOOK ADVANCES TO 3RD
-Why is he so good?
-Lee Hong-ku stops on second.
A DOUBLE THAT LED
TO 2 SCORING POSITIONS
Wow, Hong-ku.
Hong-ku!
He's insane. Look here!
Hong-ku!
This is Lee Hong-ku.
-The main catcher of CK Monsters.
-Nice!
I felt that coming.
One out with two runners
in scoring positions.
Hyun-in is up next.
This is a situation
where you can get two points.
Hyun-in has to prove himself now.
A chance like this won't come back.
Infielders, come forward.
CHOONGAM HAS
NO INTENTION OF ALLOWING A RUN
HE HITS!
Hyun-in's ball goes
between first and second.
-Okay, go!
-Go!
Second and third base runners
are going home.
MONSTERS 3 : 1 CHOONGAM
Run quickly!
To home base!
SAFE
It's safe!
That's right!
LET'S CELEBRATE
A perfect double at perfect timing!
Hyun-in does his job perfectly
even as a batter now.
The score is four to one.
Jeong Keun-woo is up.
It's a sharp swing.
The ball goes between 5-6 hole.
ADVANCES TO 2ND BASE
-Keun-woo's hit adds to the momentum.
-Good job.
KEUN-WOO'S CLEAN AND CHEERFUL HIT
Good job.
HE'S SATISFIED
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND
Yoon Yeong-cheol, who took the mound,
is gradually getting discouraged.
Manager Lee Young-bok
comes onto the mound.
Timeout.
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK
MAKES HIS DECISION?
Is he switching pitchers?
SWITCHING PITCHERS ALREADY?
-You're throwing good pitches.
-Yes, sir.
You're doing well.
Can you wrap this inning up?
Yes, sir!
Don't be nervous.
Dong-heon, you too.
He encourages Yeong-cheol.
He believes in him
because he's the ace player.
1 OUT, RUNNERS ON 1ST AND 2ND
DETERMINED
Seong-hoon is up next.
He's the one who hit the first home run.
THE GENIUS BATTER, JEONG SEONG-HOON
STRIKE
STRIKE
It was close, but it's in the zone.
That's two strikes.
The ball was deep, but it was a strike.
-So it's impossible to hit that.
-Right.
Now you have to pitch it far out.
A sloppy slider
near the body can be risky.
His eyes are used to the deep pitches.
He misses! Strikeout!
HE PITCHED WITH GUTS
Well done.
HE'S SATISFIED
Seong-hoon is struck out,
so now it's two outs.
Park Yong-taek is up next.
CAPTAIN TAEK MARCHES IN
One home run from Yong-taek
can make a big point difference
and encourage the team.
That's right.
I'M GOING FOR ONE BIG SWING!
Two outs now. Let's bring them home.
He makes contact.
Third catches the bouncing ball.
To first base.
First base catches the ball.
HE COMES BACK UNHAPPILY
Yeong-cheol allowed two runs.
The current score is four to one.
It's the bottom of the fourth inning.
This is the bottom of the fourth inning.
Choongam is on offense.
Currently, it's four to one.
A three-point difference.
The seventh batter, Lee Chung-heon is up.
The Monsters have momentum.
Song Seung-jun is
steadily defending the innings.
-So getting on a base isn't easy.
-Right.
GETTING ON A BASE IS THE FIRST STEP
-Let's go!
-Go!
STRIKE
Nice!
It's okay!
-You can do this!
-Let's go!
BALL
CHUNG-HEON WATCHES ONE BALL
NICE EYES
The count is one and one.
BALL
BALL
They're losing by three points.
Can high school athletes
manage to hold off on swinging
a curveball at this level?
If you ask yourself that,
Choongam players deserve applause.
The count is three and one.
He manages to get on a base with a walk.
Nice job.
Yes.
He wasn't tricked by any of his pitches.
Chung-heon conquers the first base.
Kim Min-seok is up next,
and this is a tough one.
He has two strikes.
The ball count favors the hitter.
Tries to pick the first base off.
SAFE
Stay on your toes.
He's making first base stay on the base
since there are no outs.
He doesn't lose focus.
Another pick-off!
He's out this time!
-Yes!
-Okay!
Seung-jun's pick-off
takes the base away from the runner.
We can't advance because of the pick-offs.
This is it.
He threw it near the base knowing
Jeong Seong-hoon would catch it.
A PERFECT PICK-OFF TIMING
He has the fastest bat speed on the team.
HE HITS!
Okay!
Okay!
A ground ball. The shortstop dashes in!
He tags first base.
2 OUTS
But he's out!
WHERE IS HE GOING?
That was good.
Seong-hoon! Come back in.
-Only two outs right now.
-Come on.
Hey.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?
You know something funny?
Jeong Seong-hoon.
He thought the inning was over,
so he ran in and came back out.
HE'S EMBARRASSED
2 OUTS WITH NO RUNNERS
The third batter is up.
It's the ninth batter, Lee Seong-hyeon.
-Take it slow!
-Slow!
STRIKE
That was sick.
AN IMMACULATE FASTBALL
-Nice!
-That was a cannonball.
LOADING THE CANNON
-Strike!
-Another strike with a breaking pitch.
Nice!
I was worried
about how this game would play out
when Seung-jun took the mound.
Yes.
But he's taking care of things easily.
-Strike!
-He misses!
All he needed was three pitches.
Hey, their manager is going to get angry.
DISAPPOINTED
Including the pickoff,
Seung-jun wraps up the inning
only against three hitters.
It's a bit late for him, but people
still insist that he goes to MLB.
-Gosh.
-Nice job!
AS EXPECTED, SONG SAM-BONG
Song Sam-bong.
Goodness, I'm exhausted.
Seung-jun has to stop pitching.
He looks energetic though.
This is the top of the fifth inning.
The inning starts
with CK Monsters on offense.
When is he going to stop pitching?
HE'S STILL ENERGETIC
Hey, come on, number four.
I want to see something big this time.
THE 4TH BATTER IS UP NEXT
Eui-yoon needs to hit
a home run this time.
I want to keep believing that
he can hit a home run this game.
A GAME OF TRUST BY EACH MANAGER
-You can do this!
-You got this!
He's the fourth batter,
so something big has to come from him.
That's right.
HE MUST PROVE HIMSELF NOW
The count is one and two.
He misses! Strikeout!
-Strike!
-Hey!
Why is his leg shaking?
His swing is like a fan.
Yeong-cheol pitched
a high deep fastball
when it was two strikes.
That's hard to do. I praised his
deep pitches against left-handed batters.
A high fastball against right-handed
batters? It's worthy of praise.
The fifth batter, Lee Taek-keun, is up.
LEE TAEK-KEUN IS UP
-Strike!
-It's an inside ball.
-Strike!
-It's an inside ball.
That breaking pitch
was kind of like Seung-jun's.
That's right.
That was a sharp pitch.
A slow, up-and-in breaking pitch.
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
Come on!
He misses! Two strikes.
HE TAKES A BREATH
It's okay.
Nice!
Nice changeup.
With a little more power,
I wonder what kind of player
Yeong-cheol would be in KBO.
His confidence, his technique,
and his boldness
are flawless. He just needs more speed.
The pitch is slightly out of the zone.
BALL
Nice.
A PRAISING ROBOT?
-Nice pitch!
-Good job!
Nice pitch.
Their dugout is noisy.
The pitch was a ball, you know.
WHAT KIND OF PITCH WILL HE THROW
WITH ALL THE COMPLIMENTS?
He makes contact.
He makes contact.
A ground ball. Second base fields it.
-He throws it to first base.
-Okay.
2 OUTS
-Nice!
-Good job!
The sixth batter, Seo Dong-wook, is up.
DONG-WOOK, I TRUST YOU
The first one to hit
a home run on the team.
What pitch will it be?
He makes contact.
He makes contact. It's to the left.
Is it a foul? Is it in?
To the left! Left fielder!
To the left! Left fielder!
He cannot catch it. It's a foul.
That was good. Good job.
The count is one and two.
ANOTHER FOUL
Another foul.
He's having trouble pitching an out
after two strikes.
Yeong-cheol is good at keeping counts.
But he has to do more.
By keeping counts, he can become
an excellent pitcher.
But to become a legend, he needs
to pitch an out easily in this situation.
This is what he should learn here.
DONG-WOOK IS AT A DISADVANTAGE
BASED ON THE COUNT
The count is one and two.
-Strike!
-The pitch is in the zone and far.
-The count is one and two.
-Strike!
HE WRAPS UP THE INNING AGAIN
Strikeout looking.
He pitches a strikeout
and it was a three up, three down inning.
That's right! Nice pitch!
AS EXPECTED, YEONG-CHEOL!
THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED
He needs to stop pitching.
Was it a changeup?
The spin wasn't, but it dropped.
BOTTOM OF THE 5TH INNING
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
This is the bottom of the fifth inning.
Choongam is on offense.
The first batter is Im Jun-ha.
IT BEGINS WITH IM JUN-HA
SEUNG-JUN STILL TAKES THE MOUND
Im Jun-ha needs to make contact.
CHOOMGAM NEEDS TO MAKE CONTACT
Jun-ha. You can do this. Stay alive.
-There you go!
-He makes contact.
He makes contact.
Third baseman fields with a backhand.
To first base.
First base!
Third baseman fields with a backhand.
To first base.
First base!
-He dropped it.
-He dropped the ball.
A THROWING ERROR
The ball wasn't thrown perfectly.
There you go. Nice!
OKAY WE'VE GOT THIS!
With some progression made,
Choongam makes a chance.
Dong-wook is disappointed.
A BOTCHED THROW BY DONG-WOOK
Dong-wook fielded the ball and threw it,
but the throw was a bit short.
The hitter would've been out,
but the ball was hard to catch.
A RUNNER ON 1ST BASE
Lee Seon-u is up next.
Let's advance.
A SURPRISE BUNT!
-Strike!
-Good.
SURPRISED
Seong-hoon, you're moving a lot today.
HE GRINS
HE WHISTLES
HE CALLS THE FIELDERS
Come forward a little.
THE MONSTERS ARE
GETTING READY FOR A BUNT
Let's go!
TRY BUNTING AGAIN IF YOU DARE
ANOTHER SURPRISE BUNT
-He bunts the ball, but it flies.
-Good.
Against Seung-jun's pitches,
the hitters are having trouble
bunting the ball.
This is good.
HE SIGHS
AS THE PLAN ISN'T WORKING OUT
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
ONE MORE STRIKE AND IT'S AN OUT
-Strike!
-He pitches a strike far out.
-Strike!
-He pitches a strike far out.
-Nice.
-Strikeout!
Are you kidding me? A strikeout?
Even after his teammate's mistake,
he manages to pitch a strikeout.
1 OUT, RUNNER ON 1ST
Woo Seung-won is up next.
THE RUNNER IS PRESSURING HIM
FROM BEHIND
Nice pitch.
You can do this, Song Sam-bong.
HE HITS!
He makes good contact.
A FLY BALL NEAR THE LEFT FIELDER
He will definitely catch the ball.
(DISAPPOINTED)
He's going to catch it.
HE'S UNDECISIVE
He's going to catch it.
Left center. Behind the left fielder.
He drops the ball!
THE BALL HITS THE GLOVE
He drops it!
And a bad throw!
TWO MISTAKES IN A ROW
DARN IT…
RUNNER STARTS RUNNING!
Come in quickly!
HE'S TELLING THEM TO RUN FASTER
KEUN-WOO FIELDS IT
AND THROWS IT HOME
He got it.
Passes by second and third.
The ball goes to home base.
Go back!
THE BALL CAME HOME
BEFORE THE RUNNER
It's in!
To your base! Come on!
Come on! Quickly!
Third base!
-Hong-ku!
-Throw it, you punk!
To home base!
He runs and throws it to third!
IS IT SAFE OR OUT?
-Throw it!
-Hong-ku!
PLEASE BE AN OUT
To home base!
He runs and throws it to third!
-Safe!
-Safe on third!
-Nice!
-Okay!
NICE, IT'S A SAFE
THE DELAYED THROWING LED TO A SAFE
Hong-ku…
This changes everything. The momentum.
The ball hits Eui-yoon's gloves and drops.
It could've led to a run.
But they stopped that from happening
with a relay.
Third base runner is safe.
But they managed to stop a run.
-Right.
-Unbelievable mistakes are happening.
This is a bit disappointing.
This is disappointing
since both runners are there
because of the mistakes.
-That's right.
-If played properly,
there won't be any runners.
A game after three weeks.
CK Monsters are providing
the opponent with opportunities.
Amid all this,
Dong-heon is the next one up.
Captain, go!
WE TRUST YOU, CAPTAIN!
-What?
-Didn't he step forward?
A HIT-BY-PITCH?
-It hit his guard.
-Timeout.
-He crouched forward.
-Strike.
-It's in!
-What was that?
Hey.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Strike! Come back.
Come back.
HE'S SERIOUS
I said come back.
Why?
He put his arm forward
when it was a strike.
Let's watch.
He put his elbow forward.
The umpire says
he put his arm forward to get hit.
DECIDED THAT IT WAS A DELIBERATE HIT
In this situation,
it wasn't a hit-by-pitch.
-It's a strike instead.
-Right.
That's because it has been decided
that the batter took the hit on purpose.
MONSTERS 4 : 1 CHOONGAM
-Strike!
-Second pitch is a strike.
-Strike!
-Second pitch is a strike.
Two strikes.
HE BREATHES IN
THE BALL COUNT FAVORS SEUNG-JUN
A captain and a senior in high school.
Let's go!
Two runners in position.
The count is zero and two.
The ball drops down.
Two runners in position.
The count is zero and two.
The ball drops down. It's a strike.
But he's not out. To first base!
Third base runner comes home!
But he's not out. To first base!
HE'S SURPRISED
3RD BASE COMES HOME
HE SPRINTS
-Unbelievable.
-He comes home!
MONSTERS 4 : 2 CHOONGAM
They chase them down by one point!
-Yes!
-Nice!
Jun-ha!
JUN-HA CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD
AND CAME HOME
-Gosh.
-What?
The third base runner
manages to come home.
How Jun-ha manages to get a run.
I want to compliment him.
The catcher only thought of the first base
and threw the ball there.
Jun-ha didn't miss that opportunity
and ran home.
-He deserves a compliment.
-That's right.
What an outstanding game of baseball.
What a play.
A disappointing mistake leads to a point.
A DISAPPOINTING MISTAKE
LED TO A POINT…
2 OUTS, RUNNER ON 2ND
THE 5TH BATTER, CHAE-UL, IS UP NEXT
-Chae-ul!
-You got this!
Let the runner come home!
Chae-ul!
FOUL
Good!
Chae-ul, just one good hit.
WITH A RUNNER IN SCORING POSITION,
WE CANNOT ALLOW A SINGLE HIT
-Strike!
-He swings for the down pitch.
Two strikes.
Good job. Nice blocking, Hong-ku.
NICE BLOCKING
THE BALL COUNT IS IN FAVOR OF SEUNG-JUN
-Even a single pitch makes us nervous.
-That's right.
You can do this!
He misses! Strikeout!
You can do this!
He misses! Strikeout!
He might've been shaken up,
but he manages to stay focused
and throws a shutout inning.
-Hey.
-Great job.
This is killing me.
Seriously.
Great job.
-Well done.
-Great job, guys.
-Nice.
-Good work.
-Come in.
-It's all right.
The difference is two points.
But it's too early
for the Monsters to relax.
MONSTERS
CHOONGAM HIGH
Top of the sixth. CK Monsters are batting.
This is why Manager Lee kept him in.
When the game becomes this tight,
Yoon Yeong-cheol is a pitcher
who can stop them.
HE WAITS TO RUN OUT
Batter seven, Kim Moon-ho.
HE HITS!
It flies out sharply.
-It flies out.
-A fair ball to the first.
MOON-HO, LET'S GO
The great batter, genius batter,
runs to the second.
Throw it.
PLEASE, LET IT BE SAFE
-Slide.
-Hey.
-Go.
-Run.
-Let's go!
-Catch him!
He decides to go to the second.
And he arrives at the second,
but he's out!
1 OUT
This judgment wasn't
that of a genius batter.
GOODNESS, MOON-HO…
It bounced with the line.
But he didn't run too well.
That's why he couldn't touch base in time.
On top of that, it's Im Jun-ha.
You saw how he did.
-The shoulder.
-The shoulder.
You surprised me.
Choongam High isn't an easy team at all.
You're playing ball all alone, man.
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW I PLAY ALONE
BATTER 8, LEE HONG-KU
Lee Hong-ku is at bat.
NOPE, NEXT BATTER
Swing and miss. Strikeout.
Darn it.
Things have taken an odd turn.
THINGS HAVE TAKEN AN ODD TURN
The Monsters are winning right now, right?
-Yes.
-But it feels like they're losing.
Yoon Yeong-cheol did lose
one point in the third
and two points in the fourth,
but he continues to pitch smoothly
throughout the innings.
Next, Ryu Hyun-in.
THE FUTURE OF MONSTERS,
HYUN-IN IS AT BAT
He hits the first pitch.
A foul. It flies back.
-Yes.
-Nice ball.
Nice pitching.
ANOTHER FOUL
Manager Lee only has three more pitchers.
Also, the game isn't over yet.
Then it gets very complicated
to choose a pitcher tomorrow.
He can't think of that now.
Right now, the game isn't going well,
and the players aren't playing right.
Two points difference.
CHOONGAM'S ACE
DOESN'T MISS THIS CHANCE
Swings and misses. Strikeout.
The seventh strikeout.
CHOONGAM HIGH TAKES THE LEAD
IN THIS INNING
The best left-arm pitcher in high school.
This is what he can do.
Play with confidence.
You all look rigid.
Why don't you brighten up? Smile.
Play with a smile. Play at ease.
EQUIPPED WITH CUTE SMILES
-Those men are troubled.
-Yes.
Think of this as the beginning
and let's start scoring. Okay?
-Yes!
-Yes!
-Okay.
-Let's go.
It's the bottom of the sixth inning.
The first batter is Cho Hyeon-min.
The pitcher is Song Seung-jun.
He threw 45 pitches so far.
Yes.
Song Seung-jun began to pitch
from the second inning.
This is the sixth inning.
If he was still a professional player,
and if he was in his 30s,
he could throw 30, maybe 40 pitches
and throw again the next day.
But these players
cannot recover
as quickly as they did back then.
I agree.
This is a difficult inning
for Song Seung-jun.
1 BALL
He's out of power.
A little more, he'll go down.
It's about time Soo-chang comes out.
Once I go out, it's over.
I'll throw one underhand pitch.
ONE UNDERHAND PITCH, GAME OVER
Song Seung-jun shows
a great battle on the mound.
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
GO FOR A SINGLE
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
The shortstop catches. First base.
And first base.
SAFE?
OUT?
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
The shortstop catches. First base.
And first base.
BARELY SAFE!
It's safe at the first base.
A hit. It bounces off the mound.
The shortstop catches. First base.
-And first base. Safe.
-Yes!
YES!
-That was insane.
-Seriously.
Ryu Hyun-in's perfect catch!
But he was safe.
An unbelievable play.
That's Ryu Hyun-in,
the shortstop of Monsters.
HYUN-IN IS OUR FUTURE
Don't play like that on defense.
That was awesome!
HE'S ON THE OTHER TEAM,
BUT LET'S CLAP
(THANK YOU)
-Man, that was excellent.
-Good!
-Hyun-in is so good.
-Nice!
-He moves so swiftly.
-Nice play!
NICE PLAY!
His play was perfect.
I didn't think I would see
a moment like this.
But what's more important is that
this became a single.
You're right.
-And now, Song Seung-jun is in a crisis.
-Yes.
SEUNG-JUN CONTINUES TO PITCH MORE
Although he just showed a great play,
this situation is
the biggest crisis for the team.
Choongam High is
trying to turn the game around
little by little.
MANAGER LEE YOUNG-BOK'S ORDER
LEE CHUNG-HEON GETS READY FOR A BUNT
They're trying to wring out a point.
WALKING OUT
Excellent check.
THE 1ST BASE RUNNER GETS ON HIS MIND
I kept keeping him in check
because Lee Hong-ku's mindset
isn't very strong right now.
He feels burdened to throw.
So I thought
what I could do to help him is
by holding him at least a step behind.
He's going to hit it.
Song Seung-jun is
getting ready to throw his 50th pitch.
-Hey.
-Foul.
-Run!
-Run quickly.
Third baseman pulls it in.
It hits him and drops. To first.
And the runner is in.
He's out. One out.
Yes! You got it!
YOU GOT IT! SAFFE!
Wait, he was faster.
I need this. Replay.
That man.
THAT MAN, COME ON!
He's out.
Choongam High still has one more replay.
He decided to use all replay chances
from the start to the middle.
The control towers of both teams,
the managers,
will not give up on leading this game.
No.
At the last minute,
he couldn't catch it right away.
Seo Dong-wook dropped it,
then threw it quickly.
The decision may change!
If this video is replayed,
then the decision surely may change.
STEPS, THEN CATCHES
The decision is made.
He's safe at first base.
RUNNER AT 1ST IS SAFE!
Choongam High takes full advantage
of the second replay.
Zero outs, runners on first and second.
Batter eight, Kim Min-seok is
at bat in this crisis.
In a way, this batter may be
the most difficult today.
2 AT-BATS, 1 HIT, KIM MIN-SEOK
First pitch, away from the torso.
But his first pitch
already dropped to 132km/h.
He's missing the sharpness.
Seung-jun is out of energy.
The next pitch.
HE HITS!
He hits it to the right!
The hit drops
in front of the right fielder.
-Stop.
-He's told to stop.
All bases are loaded.
Kim Min-seok hits a single and runs out.
Manager Lee Young-bok
chose to play aggressively, not passively.
Kim Min-seok showed
excellent hits today at bat.
He's more than a typing runner.
All bases are loaded
for them to take the lead.
No outs, all bases loaded.
Timeout.
Song Seung-jun is sweating a lot.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop
also comes out to the mound to ask him.
MANAGER YUOP GOES TO THE MOUND
I'm sure he'll hit a bunt.
Seung-jun,
cover the catcher and the third.
Seong-hoon, come forward.
Cover the base. The third.
Look out for a bunt.
Hong-ku, play confidently.
Do not hesitate.
If you get it, throw it to the third.
-Let's do this.
-We can do this. Let's focus.
Defense, keep it up.
This is your last chance to stop them.
It's the last time.
The fielders made many mistakes today,
-but in this inning…
-Right.
they must help the pitcher.
THEY MUST NOT MAKE MORE MISTAKES
In a total of 338 games in the KBO,
he had 109 wins and 85 losses.
A veteran, Song Seung-jun.
Even for this veteran,
this crisis isn't easy to overcome.
It goes in. Strike.
1 STRIKE
-Good.
-Nice.
2ND PITCH, FOUL
ANOTHER FOUL
Another foul.
Two fouls in a row.
MONSTERS 4 : 2 CHOONGAM
Cho Hyeon-min on third.
Lee Chung-heon on second.
Kim Min-seok on first.
This must be his best pitch.
And…
This game isn't over yet.
Once Choongam High decides to focus,
they become the most focused.
They deserve lots of compliments today.
Choongam High won't
end this chance too easily.
We should switch him out.
Seung-jun is done. He threw 58.
Song Seung-jun should
use his last drop of energy
and throw a pitch
to make him hit a grounder.
Hong-ku, let's stop him.
I think he'll hit it.
You think he'll hit it?
Second-year, Lee Seong-hyeon,
up against Song Seung-jun,
a 43-year-old pitcher.
-And he hits!
-Go.
Hurry.
OKAY!
Song Seung-jun, a 43-year-old pitcher.
-And he hits!
-Go.
-Go!
-He catches.
And home. He's out.
To the third!
And home. He's out.
-Hong-ku couldn't throw.
-He couldn't throw.
Third, man!
THROW TO THE 3RD!
TROUBLED
Hong-ku.
COME ON, HONG-KU…
DEVASTATED
Let me explain the situation.
Seo Dong-wook caught the ball
after it was bounced.
Lee Hong-ku should've thrown
to the third, not first.
He should've thrown to the third.
There were runners
to go to the second and the first.
THEY COULD'VE HAD A DOUBLE PLAY
Lee Hong-ku is a bit out of it.
He did the same before.
The catcher is rather shaky today.
He can't throw the ball today.
-He can't.
-Exactly.
He has to throw it,
but he can't throw with the yips.
He can't do it.
YIPS: ANXIETY IN FAILURE
TO THROW WITH ACCURACY
STRESS AND OTHER REASONS
CAUSE THIS ANXIETY SYMPTOM
It's my psychological anxiety.
It feels like
the ball will fall out if I throw it hard.
I think this situation broke out
because I'm taken over by that thought.
This means we didn't get two outs.
Only one out, yet all bases are loaded.
1 OUT, FULL BASE
Good one, Dong-wook.
One at a time. It's fine.
SIGH…
He didn't look too well.
He was scared to throw the ball.
So I kept my eyes on him.
I had the same experience
when I was 20 and 21.
It looked like he had bigger pressure
than how I was back then.
That's why I realized right away
that it would be a tough game.
IT WILL BE A TOUGH GAME…
But we're still players,
so I shared this with Hong-ku too.
If it doesn't work, make it work.
That it's our fate.
We were formerly professional players.
IT'S FATE AS PROFESSIONALS
I must break out of this myself.
I need to overcome this.
HE MUST OVERCOME THIS
PLEASE…
-It's a hit.
-It's close.
It's close.
It's a hit.
It drops at an odd place.
THE BALL DROPS AT AN ODD PLACE!
The runners on the third
and the second both return home.
It's a tie.
Choongam High creates a tie.
That was Im Jun-ha's timely hit!
BUSTLING WITH EXCITEMENT
THE CRISIS FOR MONSTERS
DOESN'T SEEM TO END
Disappointing defense by the Monsters.
Choongam High turns the game into a tie.
PITCHER: SONG SEUNG-JUN
ANOTHER TIMEOUT
-Good job.
-Yes.
Song Seung-jun was the second pitcher,
and he's done.
He leaves the mound
after allowing them to tie.
Which pitcher will come after him?
It's not Yoo Hee-kwan!
It's Rhee Dae-eun!
One out, runners on first, second.
MANAGER LEE CHOOSES RHEE DAE-EUN!
He chose Rhee Dae-eun.
Whenever he was on the mound,
he either let the batter walk
or let them hit.
Rhee Dae-eun made us
question him a little.
HOWEVER
It looks like Dae-eun is doing well.
Nice pitch.
I got up saying I can do it.
And I knew I had to stop them at any cost.
We had to win this game no matter what.
The score is four to four, a tie.
One out, runners
on first and second bases.
The third pitcher of this game is
on the mound.
It's a bunt?
RUNS OUT QUICKLY
For now, it's a strike.
Seong-hyeon! Go far.
SEONG-HYEON! GO FAR WITH YOUR LEAD!
Watch him run, Hong-ku!
Watch him run.
-Over there!
-Falls back. Two strikes.
He's moving.
The runner reaches the third.
GRUNT
SIGH…
Manager Lee Young-bok told him
to lead by a lot.
That's how he stole another base.
You're right.
He didn't catch it. It's a foul.
HE MISSES A FOUL TIP
-Okay!
-We're doing well!
TWO STRIKES, ONE OUT
That's quite disappointing.
He threw it out of the box,
yet it became a foul.
IF HONG-KU CAUGHT IT,
IT'D HAVE BEEN OUT
Lee's catches are disappointing.
Overall, things seem insecure.
-He can't catch as he likes.
-No.
He must focus. Lee Hong-ku must focus.
He needs to block well too.
His catches aren't great. Get it?
When the catcher throws, just run.
You can run.
Just run.
CRAWLS OUT
-Swing and miss.
-Right there!
Strikeout.
RUNNER ON 1ST ENDS UP ON 2ND
Runner on first makes it to the second.
Hong-ku is in trouble.
FULL OF WORRIES
But the batter is struck out. Two outs.
Batter three, Woo Seung-won is at bat.
BATTER 3, WOO SEUNG-WON
Rhee Dae-eun is on the mound
while his team is in a crisis.
First pitch, it's outside.
(THAT'S FAST…)
-That's 143km/h.
-That was 143km/h.
That was 143km/h.
Rhee Dae-eun throws
the fastest pitch among the Monsters.
But Woo Seung-won also made
multiple hits today.
He records a single and a double.
2 BALLS
-Strike.
-It's deep into his torso.
Okay, nice pitch. Dae-eun, nice ball.
DAE-EUN, NICE BALL!
Batter three stays calm
despite such great pitches.
-Strike.
-And Rhee Dae-eun continues to pitch
within the strike zone.
Rhee Dae-eun is in great condition.
His splitters
and four-seams are both great.
I'm not sure what he'll choose.
But he needs to throw for victory.
Four to four, a tie.
MONSTERS 4 : 4 CHOONGAM
Rhee Dae-eun stands on the mound
as he faces the danger
of losing the lead.
The ball drops.
2 STRIKES
Good. Nice pitch.
He's different
from the previous three games.
Completely different.
He holds it.
-Good.
-Good catch.
He must make a difficult pitch.
Monsters cannot allow
Kim Dong-heon to come out.
THE BATTER HAS TO FINISH THIS!
One last pitch will decide this battle.
The pitch flies out of the zone.
Four balls. He walks out
to the empty first base.
ANOTHER FULL BASE
-That was 145km/h.
-He wasn't going to hit.
THE RESULT IS DISAPPOINTING,
BUT THE PROCESS IS PROMISING!
Batter four, Kim Dong-heon.
BATTER 4, KIM DONG-HEON COMES OUT
My pitches were stable,
and I thought it was all well.
I figured I could throw harder.
The pitch flies out completely.
A SUDDEN WILD PITCH
Come in! Okay!
Take it! Okay.
The third-base runner comes in.
MONSTERS 4 : 5 CHOONGAM
HE THREW A WILD PITCH IN THIS CRISIS
Rhee Dae-eun's wild pitch
allows Monsters to lose their lead.
I never imagined that.
Rhee Dae-eun had been pitching well,
so this was unimaginable.
That pitch was unfathomable as a pitcher.
A pitcher can throw to the catcher
even as he slips and falls.
I don't get it either.
CK Monsters loses the lead
by five to four.
Choongam High now leads the game.
2 OUTS, RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD
Although he lost one point,
Rhee Dae-eun must do everything
to stop this situation.
He must be aggressive.
If a four-seam is too much,
he should continue to throw splitters.
PRESSURE
The pitch hits the batter.
Man, what's with me?
FRUSTRATED
HE STRUGGLES TO THROW
AND LOSES CONFIDENCE
I keep doing this. It's driving me crazy.
What will he do?
Kim Dong-heon takes the first base.
He suddenly collapsed.
We shouldn't relax
until the game ends.
Once again, full base.
Chae-ul.
Okay. Let's go.
FIRST PITCH, 1 BALL
The first pitch isn't in the zone.
THEY'RE SHAKEN UP
Choongam now has the chance
to corner them completely.
-He can't control it.
-Near his torso again.
-Two balls.
-He's suddenly shaken.
Chae-ul.
It's small.
Look for the small zone and swing.
SIGH
-It's too high.
-The ball is high at full base.
Manager Lee Seung-yuop's face hardens.
In the middle. The dead center.
Don't swing unless it's there.
Choongam now has the chance
to corner them completely.
The pitcher will now pitch to the center.
He must now swing as hard as he can.
DAE-EUN'S WIFE: HONEY, PLEASE…
And four balls!
FOUR BALLS
ASTONISHED…
ANOTHER POINT LOST WITH FOUR BALLS
He wasn't going to do it.
He wasn't going to hit.
It's full base,
and the last pitch was a ball.
CK Monsters give up another point.
MONSTERS 4 : 6 CHOONGAM
Okay, let's stay focused!
Darn it.
I couldn't pitch.
If I continued to pitch like this,
I'd feel so bad for my team.
I really wanted to ask him
to switch me out.
I was that out of it.
The bottom of the 6th continues
for 22 minutes.
2 OUTS, FULL BASE
The happy ending doesn't seem imminent
for CK Monsters in this inning.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE
THE HAPPY ENDING TO THIS INNING
Here's how scary Choongam is.
They went in a round in this inning.
That means the first batter is at bat
the second time in the same inning.
If Rhee Dae-eun cannot show what he has,
he must be switched out
with Shim Soo-chang.
He cannot seem to continue
in this situation.
Rhee Dae-eun must pitch
thinking this batter is
the last one he'll pitch to.
HE MUST SHOW HIS BEST
Let's switch if he fails here.
Okay.
-Then Soo-chang must pitch the rest?
-Yes.
THUD
IT'S A GOOD HIT!
It's a hit. It goes down the center.
Behind the center fielder.
-Hey!
-No.
The Monsters are in a crisis.
They stopped smiling.
NO ONE SMILES IN THE MONSTERS' DUGOUT
Both teams stopped cheering.
A DESPERATE FIGHT FOR VICTORY
They must refrain
from losing additional points.
THE DEFENSE OF CK MONSTERS COLLAPSE
-Hurry up!
-He runs in.
The hole in the Monsters' defense
is starting to get bigger.
-Behind you!
-It bounces back.
And he returns home!
THE AIR CHANGES
BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS
YOON YEONG-CHEOL,
THE MONSTER ON THE MOUND
SWING AND MISS, STRIKEOUT
STRIKEOUT
WHO'LL WIN IN THE END?
