Solo All-Around Agent

Chapter 11

Today’s information

[Lee Ho-Hoon is experiencing friction with the Dream Factory Agency, who does not let him go after the breakdown of negotiations.]

—

Song Kyung-wan’s reaction was close to pure surprise.

Heard he had a trainer’s license, but he was a different story from coaching an athlete.

“Didn’t you have to be a trainer, not an agent for Song? Even if he has a trainer’s license, the training doesn’t go in a positive way.”

In the meantime, when the two players arrived, changed clothes and undressed, Song Kyung-wan nodded his head and took a seat at home plate.

“First, throw the ball at Kang Hyuk. Daewoon takes a good look at how I receive the ball.”

Jae-Jin Song started filming training scenes for later reference, and Kyung-Wan Song began teaching Dae-Woon Jeong enthusiastically.

“That’s not it. The position of his hands when catching is wrong. If you let go of his hand like that and get the ball, you could go wrong and break your finger.”

Song Kyung-wan took off the catcher’s mitt and pointed out the direction of his hand movement in detail.

“The pitcher needs the catcher to hit the target right before he throws it. If you take it together now, your wrist will rotate and the possibility of a fierce fight on a low fastball will increase!”

“Ah. Yeah!”

Daewoon Jeong showed weakness in the low ball or sinker, so he was curious about Song Kyung-wan’s one-point lesson, but he was trying to listen to every word he said.

“Hey. Are you ignorantly catching with your palms? You don’t understand the proper way to catch this, do you?”

Daewoon Jeong turned into a catcher when he was in high school, but unfortunately there was no coach or manager around who saw a catcher.

Therefore, he only tells us everything in a lump, but no one can tell us these things in detail.

“The ideal position is between the fingers when catching the catch from the same point. Absolutely remember.”

“Yeah! between the fingers.”

“That way, it’s good to tag the runners coming home. The training I’m teaching you today is to die unconditionally. A catcher’s only way of living is practice.”

“After all, a legend is a legend.”

After throwing the ball a few times at Jeong Dae-woon, who changed his muzzle, Kang-hyeok came towards Song Jae-jin, feeling much more comfortable than before.

“But aren’t you doing too much? To be honest, we’re not even pros yet, and we don’t have any revenue for the company.”

In response to Kang Hyuk’s words, Song Jae Jin shook his head and answered.

“This is an investment, not an expense. And after making an investment like this, wouldn’t it be possible to negotiate an FA contract or salary with another company?”

At Song Jae-jin’s unanimous answer, Kang-hyuk burst into laughter.

“uh? I laughed.”

Song Jae-jin also smiled at Kang-hyuk’s blunt smile since he met him.

“I’m going to go train.”

After Kang Hyuk’s laughter, Jeong Dae-woon ran towards Song Jae-jin with a broad smile.

“Agent!”

When the first training was over, Jeong Dae-woon, who ran sweating profusely, talked about what he had learned today with a recalled expression on his face.

“Thank you so much! I never thought I would get such coaching!”

Kang Hyuk and Song Jae-jin burst into laughter at the appearance of Jeong Dae-woon, like an innocent country youth, and Jeong Dae-woon burst into laughter without knowing why he was smiling.

—

“Ho Hoon failed to negotiate.”

“Are you Ho-Hun? Wasn’t he always going to go pro?”

“Ho Hoon was greedy for his first-team debut with a contract at the agency, but the club said that negotiations broke down.”

At the coach’s words, coach Kim Kyung-hyun sighed deeply.

It was true that Ho-Hoon Lee was a very good player, but he had no professional stage experience yet.

‘Too much greed is bound to lead to anger.’

“But the problem is that Dream Factory doesn’t seem to release the contract with Ho Hoon.”

“Huh. this is true Garbage bastards.”

After a moment of silence, the battery coach brought out the story of Daewoon Jeong with a bit of exaggeration to change the mood.

“These days, Daewoon’s water has risen.”

“The defense has also changed a lot.”

Director Kim Kyung-hyeon accepted Song Jae-jin and Jung Dae-woon’s unbelievably improved appearance quite encouragingly.

“I think it’s good to have a good agent. We didn’t have an agent like that back then.”

“And the advice the song agent gives. Very appropriate. To be honest, it also reduces the amount of work we have to do.”

“right. It is also an ability to understand players in such detail. I think a scout or coach would be more suitable for me than an agent.”

“I heard that you also took lessons from Kyungwan-senpai.”

“To Kyungwan-senpai? hey That’s awesome. Somehow, it has changed significantly.”

Jung Dae-woon’s positive effect was not just that.

“It seems that the training the kids were doing earlier was the training that Kyungwan senior taught me.”

At the pitching coach’s words, Coach Battery nodded, thinking about the training of the catchers who started today.

“So. The song agent even brought the video and showed it to the catchers.”

After the lecture, Song Jae-jin got permission from Song Kyung-wan and Jeong Dae-woon and shared the video of Song Gyeong-wan’s lesson in the conference room so that Yangju playball catchers could see it.

The result was satisfactory. Not only the manager and battery coach, but also the catchers were very moved by the actions of Song Jae-jin and Jeong Dae-woon.

“Not only has the defense improved, but the offense has also improved considerably. Compared to the lower body, the upper body was weak, so the power could not be transmitted properly, but it has improved a lot.”

“Besides, he gained confidence, and these days he goes out aggressively.”

The coaches and coaches praised Jeong Dae-woon.

“Anyway, from Jaguar, Hyuk and Daewoon asked for information.”

“In Jaguars? I just got a call from the head of the Plays Scouts.”

The coaches said excitedly, as never since Yangzhou Playball had seen so many possibilities at once for a player to make it to the pros.

In any case, the goal of the independent club was to send players to the pros, and in that respect, it was not illegal and things were going in a very positive direction for the club.

Director Kim Kyung-hyeon did not hide his hearty smile at the positive current that occurred after Song Jae-jin came.

At the same time, he said, keeping the center as much as possible.

“Anyway, let’s keep an eye on the players who are talking now. On the other hand, other players are also very careful. It could be a double slope, so don’t go wrong with your work.”

“Yes. Okay.”

The coaches nodded their heads at the words of coach Kim Kyung-hyun, but did not erase the smile on their lips.

Agency monthly meeting.

Seo Eun-sang, who finished the meeting pleasantly, was chatting while drinking tea at the suggestion of So Hyun-min, the president, to stay for a while.

“They say two teams are hot these days. Like this monthly meeting.”

“The hottest thing is, of course, two kids from independent clubs. We are receiving quite a lot of inquiries about Kang Hyuk and Jeong Daewoon.”

“Hey Kang Hyuk is going to the second draft. Who is Daewoon Jeong? Do you have any specific offers?”

“It’s still at the level of stabbing. He’s probably a catcher. Still, there are certainly a lot of clubs that are stabbing with the intention of signing. Especially the Jaguars are the most active.”

“Jaguar kids? I heard that the starting catcher season was out.”

These days, Seo Eun-sang showed the zeal that So Hyun-min knew in the past, as if she had rejuvenated.

“It’s hard to play a season alone as a backup catcher. In addition, the Jaguars have a very low catcher depth, so I think it is more so.”

In the case of World Tree Agency, the first team was mainly in charge of soccer and the second team was mainly in charge of baseball.

But to be precise, there were only a lot of agents focused on that, and in reality, both were in charge of baseball and soccer players.

“Did I say Song Jae-jin?”

“Yeah.”

“Even at the personnel appointment meeting, I didn’t know there would be such a thought. And I didn’t even know he was such a good person.”

“I thought he was a good person.”

“I didn’t just ask for it.”

Seo Eun-sang smiled modestly at So Hyun-min’s words.

“It’s nice to see you today. It feels like I’m back to the Seo Eun-sang I knew in the past.”

Seo Eun-sang smiled and nodded as Song Jae-jin’s face suddenly came to mind.

“That’s it.”

“As a director, you don’t have to be bound by playing in the field. It’s the director’s job to lead the subordinates well and draw the big picture like now. When can I have a meal with Song Jae-jin’s agent?”

—

The air currents began to change among the players.

“There is a saying that Daewoon was a fan of the professional club. What did the coach say? work hard”

“Really? Where at the club?”

“I heard there was talk of Jaguars and Plays?”

“Wow, Mr. I’m totally hooked If I had an agent, would I be treated like that?”

“Arthur. Agent Jaejin Song, can’t we help? The coaches tell us about things we need to change or habits.”

“Well. Thanks to you, I’m not doing well these days.”

“I asked the senior and he said there was no such agent. They just deal with most contracts. Rather, he even asked me who the agent was.”

And in such a situation, when the training was over and everyone gathered, Director Kim Kyung-hyun called Jeong Dae-woon.

“This is an offer from Daewoon Jeong.”

“A test?”

Jeong Dae-woon waited for the director’s mouth to open with a nervous mind.

“The test request has been formally received from Jaguar.”

“Ah.”

On the contrary, when he heard the words he had imagined, he felt like he couldn’t tell if the current situation was real or a lie.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Perhaps the request went to the agency as well.”

“Wow!”

Jeong Dae-woon responded with a bewildered reaction.

“Pro test.”

Daewoon Jung repeated the word “pro” as if he couldn’t feel it.

“Don’t come back here. Make sure to pass the test well and sign the contract. And we should put the title of the first miracle of our Yangju Playball.”

“Big. We finally have a player going pro!”

In fact, before meeting Jae-Jin Song, Dae-Woon Jeong was considered one of the most difficult players to go pro.

Maybe that’s why other players also saw Jeong Dae-woon’s efforts to go pro, and there were a lot of players who said they would be able to go pro if they put in a little more effort.

damn-

Song Jae-jin, who had just arrived at the stadium, slammed Jeong Dae-woon on the back, who was standing blankly.

“Wake! You have to prepare for the test.”

“Are you real, Agent?”

Jeong Dae-woon waited for Jae-jin’s answer with a greatly surprised expression as if he could not believe it at all.

“Then the director didn’t have anything to do with you, so maybe he lied?”

After hearing Song Jae-jin’s words, Jeong Dae-woon fell in love with him, forgetting his age.

“Pro! Pro! Wow!”

It was because he had the opportunity to join the professional team he had dreamed of.

‘I was lucky.’

Song Jae-jin recalled the information he had received before.

[The Incheon Jaguars are considering recruiting an external catcher as their catchers are injured one after another in the early 2029 season.]

From the Jaguar’s point of view, it must have been a dilemma, but for Jeong Dae-woon, it was definitely a lucky situation where many things overlapped.

The first situation in which the Jaguars were injured in a row by two catchers, but the club did not have enough catchers to raise in the 2nd or foster team.

And the second situation was that Korean professional baseball was very conservative in terms of trade.

The reason the KBO is passive about trade was that, unlike the United States, 10 teams play a single league, and if they finish in the top 5, they can win a postseason ticket.

There are often cases where a player who trades there goes to another team and gets good results.

When such a thing happened, he was often reviled by his fans, and even in the club’s situation, he had no choice but to be careful about the deterioration of public opinion.

‘It’s a process. The important thing is that Jaguars first expressed interest in Jeong Daewoon out of necessity.’

It was an important ‘situation’ that Jaguars first offered to Daewoon Jung for a test.

It meant that the Jaguars’ situation was not good, and that it was an advantage for Jeong Dae-woon.

‘If it’s Daewoon Jung now, he’ll definitely be able to take a leading position in the Jaguars.’
