Alex Rodriguez. A total of $437.2 million. The man who was 'the world's best superstar who shined in the first place in the cumulative annual salary'.

Along with Derek Jeter and Norma Garciapara, he was called the Big 3 shortstop. A genius among geniuses who played at shortstop with the greatest defensive burden, joined the third 40-40 club in history and hit 40 home runs three years in a row. However, due to the deterioration of the body that came along with the drug crisis in 2009, his performance fell sharply, and the player who is being abandoned by fans, clubs, and baseball officials.

Hyo-woong is looking for an opportunity to re-establish his position in the Yankees empire to burn the last spark. Hyo-woong's eyes twinkled at an unexpected opportunity.

'Maybe this?' Derek Jeter, who was ranked as the top 3 shortstop along with himself, and I hate to admit it, has now established himself as one of the best stars in the major leagues. The man who made the world's A-rod wear third baseman gloves.

"out!"

He was being struck out helplessly by a rookie who had no game experience. "Wow, the Captain is like that… … !"

"A little… … I do throw."

"A little? Is that a little bit?"

"… … Just by looking at it, when that rookie died, he raised his body to live. If it's already there, it spreads later in the season. The captain probably wasn't ready."

"That's true, but the ball is real. 100 mile left-handed fireballer, where did he come from?"

The last out call is dropped, and as the players discuss the match between Shin Kim and Derek Jeter. Alex Rodriguez grabbed his bat. 'This is a golden opportunity to make an impact.' Alex Rodriguez was the team's highest-paid veteran and a veteran with a brilliant career. His current stake in the Yankees clubhouse was at the bottom. The Yankees' pure-bloods, led by Derek Jeter, had completely excluded him. He never directly insulted him, but how could he not know the subtle atmosphere. And what makes him even more angry is... … .

'Damn pure blood!' Andy Pettitte, the same drug user, doesn't have all the eyes on him. 'Did you only use it for recovery? I acknowledged and apologized, so is it worth extenuating?' Alex Rodriguez snorted as he stepped forward. 'You're naughty. It's called Core 4.' And it happened in a different direction, but it was the same as what Shin Kim was thinking. A drug addict is the same drug addict, where is a good drug man and a bad drug man? It is no different to deceive all the other players who have competed fairly and fairly in sportsmanship. 'You have to press it sexually.' In any case, all that was left for Alex Rodriguez was, ironically, baseball. From the beginning, the body boasted a batting performance that was one level higher than that of Derek Jeter. Alex Rodriguez tried to re-establish his position by overpowering Derek Jeter. 'Seeing only the fastball is thrown, it seems that the changing ball hasn't been installed yet.' And as its first offering.

"Hey, aren't you feeling a little less relaxed yet?"

Very sadly, I chose Shin Kim.

* * * *************************************************************************

"I'm still not feeling well."

"Yes, I know."

"Is it real? I guess you don't know, because major leaguers like me pull up their bodies in time for the opening game... … . "

Derek Jeter, who was shut out in vain, came to the mound as if he was unfair and started making excuses to Shin Kim.

'Hey, it doesn't look like that, but my tongue is long.'

Kim Shin saved the face of the captain, who will be with him for years to come, while hiding the claws of a beast when he was pitching.

"I know. If you have a chance next time, please teach me again."

"… … ." Derek Jeter, who looked at him silently at Shin Kim's polite reply, changed his expression for a moment and spoke softly.

"Okay, let me ask you if you know that. Can you stand it?"

Jeter's expression changed one hundred and eighty degrees. That expression wasn't for a rookie who would soon be downgraded to the minor leagues. Eyes looking at future colleagues who will spend their later years together. 'Is the introduction long to tell this story?' Facing it directly, Shin Kim smiled confidently.

"You don't think you can?"

"Hey, this kid really… … ."

Raising your body in line with the opening game is a 'major league' or possible. In the case of minors or rookies, like Shin Kim, who don't know if they'll be on the roster, it's common to start with spring camp to prove themselves in the best shape possible. However, the human body has its limits. Naturally, it is a risk to take in the aftermath of raising the body so early that it spreads later in the season. However.

"Don't worry. I can play 50 games." Kim Shin swears. 'I really think it will.' A body that seems to fly away, youth. Because I was yelling at him. 'I don't know if it was like that from the beginning or if it was a return gift... … .' He was taller than he was in his previous life, his body balance didn't show any disorder, his tireless stamina, and his sharp fingertips. Hearing the cry of his young body, which he had never dreamed of in his previous life. Former 'major leaguer' Kim Shin judged. He said he could play 50 games in this state.

"Yeah, I know what you mean."

However, whether he recognized Shin Kim's rant as the spirit of a young man, Jeter smiled and tapped Shin Kim's shoulder.

"There was a time when I was just like you. However, get expert advice and manage it properly. Then it hooks up."

"Yes, thanks for the advice."

It's a story that you won't believe even if you tell me anyway, so Kim Shin bowed his head and turned it over. Hana Jeter also went through that time when it seemed like she could do anything. There was no way that he didn't know what Shin's attitude meant. However, he does not need to trample the rookie's spirit by extending his horsetail. 'Well, I don't think I'll eat it because I'm nagging.' Wasn't he the one who said he was the team's captain and veteran who said he was a kid? 'and… … Because the rookie's ambition is not necessarily a bad thing.' Jeter shook his head inwardly.

"Then let's do this… … What do you ask of me as a winner?"

"Yes? What do you mean?"

Jeter abruptly speaks of the winner's authority, who had never said a word. At Shin Kim, who was surprised by this, Jeter smiled.

"This is a game too, but there must be a reward. say anything I'll listen to what's possible in my line... … ."

But at that moment.

"Hey, aren't you feeling a little less relaxed yet?"

A tall Hispanic walking into the batter box cut off Jeter's words. The look on Jeter's face, who quickly returned to the familiar voice, fills with embarrassment.

"A-rod? would you?"

He ignores Derek Jeter's question, He pointed the baseball bat he was holding at Shin Kim.

"Let's do it with me."

Jeter tried to stop it as a captain in an unexpected situation.

"no… … ." "thank you!" Shin Kim's cry was even faster.

"Oh, this time A-rod? I rode that rookie."

"What kind of luxurious live pitching is this?" The atmosphere is rapidly boiling. After making eye contact with director Joe Girardi for a moment, the sound of Shin Kim's words penetrated Jeter's ear.

"As a reward, please take a look at this once. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it." The situation in which the words that you just uttered are binding on yourself. Jeter sighed and stepped back from his seat.

"Huh, only today."

"Thank you, Captain."

While Jeter and Shin Kim were having a conversation, the catcher, who had stood back, sat down again.

"The rules are the same. I'm doing this because I want to see you too, so take it easy."

"Yes, I understand."

Live pitching resumed with only the batter changed. However, unlike the friendly appearance on the outside, Kim Shin's insides were one hundred and eighty different. 'Good job, you bastard.'

"Playball!"

As the referee declared the start of the match, Shin Kim's body began to move dynamically. Exciting windup, kicking soaring through the sky, and straight stride. Abnormally long arms lifted high in the air. Nettle-! The 100-mile projectile that fell from the sky was headed.

"Ahh-!" It was the head of a druggist.

* * * **************************************************************************

Hit by pitch ball. A ball that fits the body, called a 'dead ball' in Japanese. It is also a ball that makes the batter walk to first base, but A ball that could end a batter's life. And among them, the ball that goes to the head is called a 'head shot' and is known as a synonym for fear. It is a ball that can lose not only the player's life but also his life. But it flew on the first day of the Yankees spring camp, and it also hit the team's highest-paid player. 100 mph at a terrifying speed.

"Ahh-!" Fortunately, the only thing that echoed on the ground was screams. There was no sound of a horrific bone-breaking blow. Alex Rodriguez, who was watching the ball, hurriedly threw himself to the floor. The Yankees players, who were momentarily focused on the batter, turned to the pitcher this time.

"sorry!"

The pitcher on the mound hurriedly took off his hat and bowed his head. It was never intended to be a head shot, and it was expressed that the ball on the body side was lost due to a difficult game. Alex Rodriguez, who stood up from the heartfelt 'like' apology, bit his lip, barely quelling his anger.

'Wow, calm down. it's rookie You can't waste a chance with something like this.' Pitcher's loss of performance is a sick boss. It can always happen. No one knows whether the loss of battle will be in the middle, towards the body of the other person, or fall behind. Alex Rodriguez calmed his heart and spoke to Shin Kim.

"it's okay? Can you continue?"

No matter how much the media criticizes him for being a drug addict, his teammate, even a blue rookie, could not have intentionally threatened him. In any case, as a professional player who joined the team with a large down payment, there is no chance of another head shot. You can repay this humiliation later. Now it was more important to take the first step to suppressing jitter. 'It's rather a boon. Now I can't throw the body ball. We can aim outside.' Alex Rodriguez thought so.

"Yes, it is fine. Rodriguez, are you okay? I'm really sorry."

"I'm okay. When you're ready, start over."

The beautiful appearance of a veteran who cares for a rookie who made a mistake on the outside and a rookie who sincerely apologizes. A sigh of relief escaped from the mouths of the Yankees players who were watching the situation.

"Huh, that's good."

"I know. From the first day of spring camp, I thought there was going to be a brawl within the team." A deliberate head shot is an action that is not at all unusual if it is in the middle of a match, even if there is a violent bench clearing as well as an immediate dismissal. Even if there is no intention, it is not strange at all to jump from the batter side to the mound. Moreover, the batter who almost got a head shot was Alex Rodriguez, so when there was any sign of a fight, the players immediately rushed out onto the ground. However, it seemed to work out well, so it was only natural for the players to breathe a sigh of relief. But as Derek Jeter watched the two players on the pitch with his arms crossed, a different thought crept into his mind. A word that Shin Kim mentioned a while ago as a reward. - Please take a look at this one time. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. If you think about it on the other hand, isn't that the sound of an accident? Of course, at the time, I thought it was referring to continuing live pitching at will, but... … . 'That guy, maybe?' Before Hana Jeter could do anything, a second ball came out of the mound's first pitcher's hand.
