[Comprehensive] 'Seo Dong-wook's home run and Shin Jae-young's 6 innings scoreless' Monsters, sweep... Chungam High School 'Dandy Yeongbok' Returns

The strongest Monsters achieved a sweep with Seo Dong-wook's home run and Shin Jae-young and Oh Joo-won's perfect pitches.

In the 48th episode of JTBC's 'Strongest Baseball', which aired on the 10th, the second game between the strongest Monsters and Gyeongbuk High School took place.

Previously, the strongest Monsters won a cold game against Gyeongbuk High School in the first game and achieved a 70% win rate in 10 games, preventing the occurrence of ejectors within the team. However, Lee Taek-geun's elbow injury and Jung Geun-woo's hamstring tear had yet to fully recover. Jeong Geun-woo opened the Geun-woo Clinic, which corrects the batting posture of teammates during practice. I was interested in how the national team hitting coach's one-ta lecture would affect this game.

The starting pitcher for the second game of Gyeongbuk High School was Shin Jae-young, who was the first starting pitcher for the strongest Monsters. Shin Jae-young, who has had a good record, has been called Maddori by batters because he collapses at once. From the beginning, he overwhelmed the Gyeongbuk High School batters with his spicy pitch. Not to be outdone, Gyeongbuk High School also showed a tight pitching battle by treating the strongest Monsters hitters in a tripartite manner.

The joys and sorrows of this match were divided in two innings. After Chung Eui-yoon's dead ball in the top of the second inning, Jung Sung-hoon and Park Jae-wook advanced with a walk, creating a one-out situation. Seo Dong-wook, who entered the plate, cleared the first pitch neatly and hit a home run that went over the right wall. It was a home run that fully repays the trust of manager Kim Seong-geun, who gave him the designated hitter position because his batting performance improved before the game. In particular, Seo Dong-wook, who hit the first home run of the strongest monsters, came to me even more thrilled because it was news of a home run that he announced again after 413 days.

Thanks to Seo Dong-wook's home run, Shin Jae-young showed a good pitching that allowed only one hit until the 6th inning. Now, it announced the return of Mr. Zero, who sprinkles spicy flavor balls instead of taste balls. In the beginning of the 6th inning, Chung Eui-yoon had a dizzying experience of almost getting a legendary triple-kill (creating 3 out counts with just one ball) due to an error by the opponent's defense, and made everyone's heart melt.

Even in a moment of crisis, the strongest Monsters took Oh Joo-won, the pitcher with the highest ERA in the team, to the mound following Shin Jae-young, and broke the morale of Gyeongbuk High School with a perfect pitch that did not allow a single hit. In the attack, Park Jae-wook and Park Yong-taek added 1 RBI, and in the last attacking inning, Ko Young-woo succeeded in walking on base with concentration, and Kim Moon-ho added 1 RBI and timely hit to finish the game with a victory 7-0.

The strongest Monsters achieved 8 wins with 1 hit and 4 pitches and team shutout in the 2nd game against Gyeongbuk High School. Seo Dong-wook, who received the MVP with a home run 14 months after his first home run, said, "This season's goal is not MVP, but the Golden Glove. I have another goal. I will go all the way for that."

Although he did not receive the MVP, Shin Jae-young, who completely brushed off his image of madness with a spicy pitch, said, “I think there will be opportunities in the future.

The joy of achieving a two-game sweep against Gyeongbuk High School was short-lived, and the next opponent for the strongest Monsters was Chungam High School, one of the strongest enemies last season. Chungam High School is an unforgettable team that left a bitter memory of the first cold loss to the strongest monsters. In addition, director Lee Young-bok, who radiated a presence with his extraordinary eloquence, is leading Chungam High School.

The 48th episode of 'The Strongest Baseball' recorded an audience rating of 3.2% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on paid households in the metropolitan area). The 2049 audience rating is also 1.3%, proving its topicality and continuing its popularity that does not cool down.
