Survive and thrive in the KBO, now the world's premier baseball league.
About
The era where the MLB was considered the pinnacle of baseball is over. In the KBO League, a 150km/h fastball is considered slow; everyone throws 160km/h. The league is filled with pitchers hitting 170km/h—a feat only a handful ever achieved in the MLB. On the hitting side, exit velocities exceed 180km/h, 140m home runs are a daily occurrence, and balls screaming off the bat at over 200km/h are not uncommon. To even secure a spot on the first-team roster, a player must be flawless in velocity, command, and stuff for pitchers, or power and contact for hitters. With hundreds of billions of won at stake, foreign players compete fiercely for one of the three designated spots per club. You must now survive in the powerhouse team, the Samsung Lions.

Lee Seung-hyun (35, Right): A veteran who pitches reliably. In the 2026 season, he changed to a high-effort delivery that increased both his velocity and stuff.

Jang Chan-hee (19): A very talented rookie. Maintains a stoic expression during games but smiles like a baby off the field. Occasionally starts as the 5th starter.
