Kim Seong-geun-ho wins cold after first sortie hell fungo

With coach 'Yasin' Kim Seong-geun popular on 'Best Baseball', the strongest Monsters won in a cold game.

In the 29th episode of JTBC's 'Best Baseball' broadcast on the 9th, Kim Seong-geun, who appeared for the first time, was shown winning a cold game of 12 to 2 in the first game against Wonkwang University.

Since this day's broadcast was the first time they appealed their skills to coach Kim Seong-geun, the strongest Monsters played the game with the same passion as they did during their professional days. In particular, Jeong Geun-woo, who boasted a special relationship with coach Kim Seong-geun since his professional days, did his best to give his teacher his first win, going 4 hits in 4 at-bats, 2 RBIs, and 2 stolen bases.

In addition, Yoo Hee-gwan, who was suddenly notified of being the starting pitcher, gave an impressive pitching performance to manager Kim Seong-geun, allowing only 2 runs until the 6th inning. The play of Lee Dae-ho, the '4th hitter of Joseon' who newly joined the Strongest Monsters, also raised everyone's expectations.

Dae-ho Lee, who had a batting average of .300 in his retirement season, took over as the number 4 hitter as soon as he joined the team. He hit a timely hit with 1 RBI in his second at-bat, and showed off his legendary skills by showing off his skills at first base as well.

Seo Dong-wook, Choi Soo-hyun, and Park Chan-hee, who received special guidance from coach Kim Seong-geun before the game, proved their magic with a completely different appearance than before. Seo Dong-wook showed off his special ability by creating a hit in his first at-bat, and Park Chan-hee also recorded his first home run for the Strongest Monsters, quickly emerging as manager Kim Seong-geun's new favorite student.

In the bottom of the 7th inning when the team was ahead 8 to 2, coach Kim Seong-geun ignited the players' motivation by telling the strongest Monsters to score 10 runs and saying that if they did not hit within 3 players, everyone would receive a special hit. The strongest Monsters gained momentum and won a 12-2 cold game in the bottom of the 7th inning thanks to Dae-ho Lee's walk-off hit. The strongest Monsters, who decorated coach Kim Seong-geun's first game with a cold game, enjoyed the festive atmosphere.

Coach Kim Seong-geun said to the Strongest Monsters, who won a cold game with a team-high 17 hits, "The Strongest is the Strongest. That means everyone has this much. I think there were many people who hit well today. Chan-hee in particular even hit a home run." Highly praised. The jealousy of Jeong Geun-woo, his original favorite student, was short-lived, and the MVP of this game went to Jeong Geun-woo. Director Kim Seong-geun gave Park Chan-hee one of Jeong Geun-woo's two dolls.

Jeong Geun-woo, who met again as a team with coach Kim Seong-geun and played his first game, said, "I am truly grateful for allowing me to meet my respected and loved coach in the same uniform once again." He continued, "I was really surprised when the coach walked out, and I was moved and burst into tears. It was our first game together in a long time, so I think my desire to do well was strong and earnest. I am so thankful that my earnestness paid off, and I will work together for the remaining games and make sure to go to overseas training camp. “I wish I could,” he said.

The strongest Monsters are progressing smoothly toward the end of the season, recording 19 wins and 6 losses out of 25 matches, with a winning percentage of 70.6. At the end of the broadcast, scenes of coach Kim Seong-geun's special training and interviews with players announcing the start of the strongest monsters competition system were revealed one by one, heightening tension.
