The 'Fire Baseball' in its inaugural season opens the spectacular curtain for the 2025 tryout, which attracts a record number of participants.
In the second episode of the baseball variety show 'Fire Baseball,' which will be released on the 12th at 8 p.m., the tryout scene reminiscent of an All-Star game will unfold in earnest.
A total of 210 people applied for the 2025 tryout, and 90 players passed the first screening through document review. Participants compete for the uniform of the Fire Fighters in five positions: outfield, third base, shortstop, catcher, and pitcher.
This tryout draws attention with the participation of college league aces gathered from all over the country, as well as the youngest high school applicants. In particular, with a record number of independent league players applying, participants include the '2024 Independent League Golden Glove' winner, the second-highest batting average in the league, and the top pitcher of the 2024 league, signaling fierce competition.
In addition, the appearance of players at an unprecedented level, reminiscent of a professional baseball All-Star game, continued. Notably, when Kim Jae-ho, a former Doosan Bears player known as a genius shortstop, made his appearance, it reportedly caused a stir. Participants cannot hide their surprise, saying, "The last one is really awesome," "Why is Kim Jae-ho here?" and "Isn't this a tryout free pass?"
Meanwhile, the 90 applicants are tense as the Fire Fighters judges, who possess exceptional presence, make their appearance. Ahead of the first test, Park Yong-taek says, "As you all know, we are a team that must win. I hope to see many players who must do well, not just players who want to do well," providing cold advice that stimulates the players' competitive spirit.
Fans are focusing on who will become the protagonist to wear the uniform of the Fire Fighters after breaking through fierce competition in the upgraded 'Fire Baseball' 2025 tryout.
Meanwhile, the first episode of 'Fire Baseball,' which was first released last week, achieved 100,000 viewers within 58 minutes of its premiere and recorded a peak concurrent viewer count of 130,000, showcasing the unprecedented prestige of the baseball variety program. According to the YouTube channel data analysis platform Playboard, as of the 5th, the official YouTube channel of StudioC1 ranked 2nd in the domestic daily live viewer ranking, 1st in the super chat ranking, and 1st in the rapid subscriber increase ranking, as well as rising to 1st in maximum view count for advertisements, once again proving its strong influence.
