Synopsis

The chapter showcases the debut performance of a young pitcher who achieves a perfect score with strikeouts in his first five innings, leaving his team to defend the lead. Meanwhile, another pitcher, Ahn Chanseop, displays frustration and anger as he faces unexpected challenges, especially the introduction of a slider by his rival, who was previously thought to only have a changeup. The chapter ends with the rivalry between the two pitchers intensifying, as they appear more like predator and prey rather than fellow athletes.
