The Fireworks Fighters pull out a hidden card to take charge of the late innings.
The 20th episode of Studio C1's baseball variety show Fireworks Baseball, which will be released at 8 p.m. on the 15th, surprises everyone with manager Kim Seong-geun's radical decision.
Shin Jae-young appears as the Fighters' relief pitcher. His appearance alone stirs the Gangneung High dugout. That is because his tremendous command was confirmed through the TVING original Kim Seong-geun's Winter Vacation. Even the opposing manager clicks his tongue, saying, "A nice pitcher has come up."
Manager Kim Seong-geun dominates the atmosphere with a series of bold choices. When a major change is made to defensive positioning, commentator Kim Sun-woo cannot hide his admiration, saying, "The manager is completely different now."
But contrary to expectations, Shin Jae-young runs into trouble from the start. Energy begins to fill the Gangneung High dugout, and Shin Jae-young is increasingly cornered. To make matters worse, situations that upset him continue to arise, increasing the pressure. Attention is on whether the Gangneung High players, who once received baseball advice from Shin Jae-young, will show a student surpassing the master.
Meanwhile, a protégé who received intensive coaching from manager Kim Seong-geun on the TVING original Kim Seong-geun's Winter Vacation also appears and draws attention. The Fighters crowd the on-deck circle to face this pitcher, matching their timing to his pitches and building tension.
Gangneung High's turn to bat comes, and they steel themselves again, saying, "What we do well? Hang on." Meanwhile, after Shin Jae-young, manager Kim Seong-geun brings in another pitcher, and the Fighters players watching say, "The ball has power so the students won't be able to hit it." Gangneung High players murmur, "The balls aren't easy. It's too difficult," and "At our level, should we think of him as Ponce from Hanwha?"
The newly appearing Fighters pitcher's sharp curveball surprises not only Gangneung High but also his Fighters teammates. But that lasts only briefly; he then faces a crisis. Will manager Kim Seong-geun's secret weapon repay his leader's trust and show his true worth?
Can the Fireworks Fighters secure victory despite Gangneung High's fierce resistance? It will be released via Studio C1's official YouTube channel at 8 p.m. on the 15th.
