Right at the shortstop! ... Ah, but he fumbled the ball! He tries a hurried throw to first— Overthrow! The ball gets past him! Meanwhile, the batter-runner rounds first and heads for second! He makes it to second. A costly error puts a runner in scoring position with no outs in an instant.  

  The shortstop was in too much of a hurry there. His mind was already at first base while he was still fielding it. He had plenty of time to catch it cleanly and throw, but once he fumbled, he got flustered despite himself. That kind of error saps the concentration of the entire infield, and above all, it's the kind of mistake that makes things hardest for the pitcher on the mound. It's the sort of play a veteran shouldn't be making.  

  That's right. From starting pitcher Kim Suhwan's perspective, this is a rather unfair situation. A young player could easily be shaken... All right, he nodded at the PitchCom— and he delivers the first pitch!

┌───────┐ │ B ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ │ │ S 🟡 ⚪ │ │ O ⚪ ⚪ │ └───────┘

It paints the outside corner! Strike! He doesn't shy away at all from the first pitch, piercing the very corner of the strike zone!  

  Haha, look at that. Kim Suhwan's expression doesn't change one bit. Usually, when an infielder makes an error like that, you can see it on a young pitcher's face. Their expression darkens or their delivery tempo gets disrupted, but this kid is just like, 'I'm throwing my pitch.' For a young player to maintain a poker face like that and pound his pitches in from the start... it shows exactly why he's being called the future national team ace beyond just KIA. He's truly bold.
