Synopsis

Hyunbin is introduced as a new player and faces a challenging debut game where he’s hazed by his teammates. Despite their initial treatment, Hyunbin attempts a risky base steal, which is predicted by Jin Ho, based on Jin Ho's over-eager expression. This leads to an unexpected pickoff, and the pitcher is ignored by his teammates. The chapter ends with the pitcher contemplating the team's demoralization and acknowledging that he will have to perform better if he wants the team to treat him better.
