Chapter 3

State-of-the-art training facilities at Boras Corporation.

"Ugh-!" Shin Kim relaxed himself enough to be said to be terrifying. His last life, when he became a major leaguer in his mid-30s. No one knew how long he would be able to stand on the mound. All he could do was take the best care with the help of experts and use his medical knowledge to develop it a little. In his previous life, despite such efforts, he threw only seven years. In this life, it was Kim Shin who was seeing the benefits of it.

"Whew… … ." The enthusiasm still burning in his heart was not an opportunity to disappear just by chewing a league for a year or two. 'At least 10 years. Take good care of it until the 2030s... … .' At least worthy of history, yes... … Shouldn't the record set by the drug dealer be set? 'Fast ball, faster ball... … A ball faster than that?' While Shin Kim wanders the track remembering a pitcher who won the title of best pitcher in history with the help of medicine. "Shin Kim!" A handsome blond man appeared on the training ground. Shin Kim looked away for a moment as if it was a trivial matter and continued running, but Hebin came up with a task as if it was an unusual task. "Hiroki Kuroda and Michael Pineda are joining the Yankees!" Saying that two starters have joined the team. Those words were in line with the saying that Shin Kim's competitors increased. However, Hebin didn't show any worries as if it was the news he had to deliver. Hiroki Kuroda. A solid starter that can be used immediately as a sense of power. Michael Pineda. A prospect who is expected to be a frontliner. However, compared to Shin Kim, both of them are fading. 'I'm really looking forward to how far it will fly.' Although he has a brilliant talent that no one can match. He is a man with a beautiful work ethic who practices diligent training every day. Hebin smiled as he looked at the man's back as he turned the track, and his face clouded at the thought that followed. '1.5 million... … .' Of course that's a lot of money. A large amount of money approaching 2 billion won in Korean Won. However, Hebin was confident that he would receive a bigger down payment with just a little shake. The goods he had were treasures that he could not buy even with billions of dollars, and his opponent clearly needed it, and even had the ability to buy it. But because the product itself doesn't want it... … .

"Whew… … ." Of course, he got some options, but Hebin sighed for a moment at the huge fee that was blown away, and soon he got the second news he had to deliver. "Shin Kim!" With Hebin's words, someone was entering the state-of-the-art Boras Corporation's training facility. "The Yankees pitching instructor is here!"

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

Andy Pettitte. A three-time All-Star, one of the Yankees' Core 4 with five championship rings. A man who will be permanently retired by the future Yankees, who played 16 seasons and retired in 2010. The man, who was appointed as the Yankees' pitching instructor for the 2012 season, went to Boras Corporation's training facility to make a certain 'decision'.

Whoops-! In the 2012 season, the Yankees' starting lineup was too weak to bear the Yankees name. As much as General Manager Cashman came out and seriously asked him about his intention to return. Enough that he overturned retirement and seriously considered returning. But it wasn't an easy decision, and Andy Pettitte was not responding to the proposal until the deadline set by Cashman. However, a few days ago, General Manager Cashman, who called the deadline that had been notified, suggested that he go to the training facility of Boras Corporation, leaving a person's name and saying that it would help with the decision.

That's how I came to this place... … . Whoops-!

A monster was throwing a ball. The training facilities sounded like they were about to explode. It was the man Cashman was talking about. A promising youngster who was invited to the spring camp by the manager's authority.

'Kim Shin... … Did you say?' A 100-mile fast ball pouring out of a tall stature. A high-speed slider that curves at a sharp angle. Andy Pettit knew better than anyone what a left-handed fireballer with those two could do. In 2001, the pitcher stopped their glorious poppet. Although he is a starting pitcher who played against him the day before, he is a superin who came up to finish for the team in one day. A legend who won the Cy Young for 4 years in a row at the age of well over 30. Big Unit, Randy Johnson. But surprisingly, the rookie in front of him had something that even that legend did not have. Whoops-! An 80-mile curve that falls like a waterfall. Although the speed is not much different from the average curve speed in Major League Baseball, the story is very different if the person throwing it is a left-handed fireballer who uses a 100-mile fastball. A curve of ordinary speed is transformed into a peak off-speed pitch.

'Two years... … No, one year is enough. ' The rookie in front of you will reach a position that cannot be called a rookie in it. Andy Pettitte thought so. And one more. '10 years.' The man who will be in charge of the Yankees for 10 years. That's why Andy Pettitte made a decision. And he soon finished pitching and approached the monster doing a clean-up. "It's Andy Pettitte." Just a little bit, just a little bit. Only for the time to set the final spark to pass on what he's gained in 16 years of climbing 10 inches of dirt. 'For the Great Yankees.' Not as a pitching instructor for the Yankees, but as a core 4 person. 'Starting pitcher' Andy Pettitte reached out.

"This is Shin Kim."

Without even dreaming of what the returning beast was thinking. 'Are you a little bastard?'

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

Prohibited Substances. The worst immorality that deceives the pure effort of a player. A terrifying exile that trampled on the brilliant career that one player had built up through the pain of the bones. The cheating that caused the worst wave in MLB history and caused the extreme ride-and-down crisis in the early 2000s. Shin Kim shook his hand and stared at the man's back as he left.

'Where dare you little bastard.'

Andy Petit. Unlike Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and Mariano Rivera, who are famous for the same Core 4, he is a dirty deceiver who has his hands on drugs. He returned after throwing out a few obvious words of goodwill, but one possibility popped into the mind of Shin Kim, who knew the future.

'Is it possible that they will return in the same way?' The future that has now disappeared, Andy Pettitte reversed his retirement in 2012 and returned to the starting pitcher, where he played a part in the Yankees starting until the 2013 season. If Andy Pettitte comes back to history... … . The Yankees' starting lineup, which includes the two pitchers Hiroki Kuroda and Michael Pineda, and Andy Pettitte, to whom Hebin has joined, is oversaturated. Of course, some will leave due to injuries and some due to extreme sluggishness, but it was true that Shin Kim's major debut could be delayed.

'Ttt. Yes, because I haven't been able to prove it yet.' The current Kim Shin-eun is a raw rookie who hasn't played a single game. Major League Baseball is a world where you don't know how to win the lottery until you look at the winning lottery. Cashman had already recognized him for going straight to Major League Baseball's spring camp and for giving him a $1.5 million down payment. Shin Kim fully understood that. However.

'Even if I understand it, I have no intention of accepting it quietly.' Shin Kim was confident. Park Cheon-hoo of the Los Angeles Dodgers went straight to the majors without going through the minors at all. Kim Beom-heon of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who only learned autographs for three months and went to the majors after smashing the minors. He's confident he can do better than them. 'I'll show you.' Just by being caught in the Great Hall together, and by receiving the honor of being permanently absent. He's got to run with a drug junkie that makes you sick. Andy Pettitte and General Manager Cashman never dreamed of making him a great pitcher. The pitcher who has gone back in time, who has already been completed, has sharpened his teeth. and that time.

"Good!" Cashman smiled upon hearing of Andy Pettitte's intention to return. Winter was coming to an end.

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

Fans are shivering with boredom, and the front desk is hectic in mid-February, when the Stove League is over.

Tuk-! A tall Asian man appeared at Yankees Spring Camp in Florida. 6 feet 5 tall. A man with thick hands reminiscent of bear paws. A pitcher that some Yankees fanatics chew on as a snack.

"Whew… … ." Shin Kim entered the locker room and looked around at the welcoming scene he saw again. His jersey number was engraved in the worst corner and the worst spot among the corners. An unnamed Pinspipe who reveals their arrogance to the world.

"Number 92."

A jersey number never awarded in MLB history. The very number that imprinted my existence on the fans on the 10-inch pile of dirt, named after his birth year. Whoops-! Shineun Kim stroked it with complicated eyes for a moment, then turned to the other locker. He's the biggest, and the best rocker. And there, too, the uniform was hung. No.2. Mr. November, the eternal Yankees captain. He was a greedy man who didn't put his shortstop glove on until he retired. He is a rare lucky boy who can make a baseball team with his girlfriends. Derek Jeter, King of New York. In his last life, he was just a bald Miami owner, but from now on, the man who will succeed him to the throne. Just when Shin Kim was looking at the uniform with burning eyes.

"Hey, who's so diligent?" A playful voice is heard. where you turn your head. "Is this your first face? The name?
