At the 'Fire Baseball' 2025 tryout site, a promising rookie has emerged to rival the 'big fish' Kim Jae-ho, drawing attention.
In the second episode of the StudioC1 baseball entertainment program 'Fire Baseball', which will be released on the 12th, the final test for infielders will take place. Lee Dae-ho will act as a throw evaluator to check the defensive and throwing abilities of the key infield positions: third base and shortstop.
However, the third base applicants show disappointing performances, contrary to their initial bravado before the test. Lee Dae-ho, who was receiving their errant throws, reportedly gave up on catching, saying, "I miss Seong-hoon hyung." The reason behind his harsh comment to the judging panel, stating that "the third base applicants have just built their bodies carelessly," has piqued interest.
The cold atmosphere continues during the shortstop selection test as well. The participants also displayed disappointing defense, missing the ball. Consequently, the judging panel, showing signs of fatigue, sighed, saying, "There's nothing to see, right?"
The chilly atmosphere revives with the appearance of 'the biggest fish' Kim Jae-ho. As a two-time Golden Glove winner and a legendary player who has also represented the national team, the judging panel's expectations are high. It remains to be seen whether Kim Jae-ho can demonstrate skills worthy of his reputation as a 'genius shortstop.'
Meanwhile, the emergence of a rookie who could put pressure on Kim Jae-ho also draws attention. The judging panel is not only impressed by the rookie's speed and footwork but also refrains from criticism, stating, "We can't evaluate this one." As pearls in the dirt are discovered, viewers are increasingly curious about who will be the shortstop to team up with Jung Geun-woo in the keystone combo.
