Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist demonstrating an understanding of pitching strategy, focusing on reading the batter rather than solely relying on a curveball. He then executes three consecutive strikeouts, with the final pitch being a curveball, which is acknowledged by a system notification. Meanwhile, the opposing team, especially a scout, is increasingly agitated by the protagonist’s unexpected performance and Park Joonhyeong's home run. They discuss his unconventional slow pitch and his history of injuries, while the protagonist vows to hit the ball out of the park.
