Life is Easier If You’re Handsome

Baseball, of course, was live-broadcasted.
Which meant many people saw Kim Donghu’s first pitch.

A sea of cameras, commentators, casters, players, and spectators.
A huge number of people witnessed Kim Donghu’s first pitch clearly.

"He throws well, but this is beyond just ‘good,’ right?"

This wasn’t someone who had simply played baseball in school or participated in adult baseball leagues.
This was the level of someone who could be signed right now if they wanted to.

Especially the players—they were absolutely stunned.

"How fast was that?"
"133..."
"133? 133?!"

A curveball? A curveball at 133 mph?

Why is a celebrity throwing a ball that fast? That’s something you’d see in Major League Baseball.

They checked the camera multiple times, unsure if they had seen it right, and also double-checked the speed gun to make sure nothing was wrong.
But the result—133 mph—was an undeniable fact.

"That's insane, insane! He should’ve been a baseball player, not an actor."
"What about boxing? He already has an Olympic gold medal in heavyweight boxing."
"Still, baseball. Throwing a curve like that... That means his fastball must be around 150 mph."
"We’ll see, we need to watch him throw more to know... he might throw even faster."

The atmosphere was odd.
Usually, a first pitch is just a one-time event.
It’s meant to be a fun event, and it’s rare for someone to get more than one pitch.

But then…

"Can we… just throw two more pitches for fun?"
"What?"
"Well, if we work things out with the other team, we can make it feel like a real batting experience, with an actual batter stepping up."
"What do you mean 'batting'? Are you crazy? What if the ball hits someone? Are you going to take responsibility?"@@novelbin@@

Everyone was thrown off by the strange request.
It was unprecedented, but it wasn’t exactly breaking any major unwritten rules.

"The first pitch is supposed to be fun, right? Something to get the crowd excited."

• The first pitch was a simple curve—"133" mph

• From the second pitch onward, the batter was in position, and Donghu’s focus instantly changed.

• The ball was thrown, and it was a sinker at 151 mph. LMAO!

• The batter, Taegun, stood there frozen, unable to even swing, and was promptly removed.

• The third pitch was a slider at 140 mph—unbelievable!

• • He also does boxing!
  • Wow, he boxes too? Maybe he should stick to baseball.
  • He’s also an actor—triple ten million sales, just broke records for commercial films.
  • Wow... but seriously, he should do baseball!!!
• • Batting is risky!
  • Pitching is the dangerous part, LOL. Can Kim Donghu handle it if the ball goes out of bounds?

• • Meanwhile, Kim Donghu is over here preparing for boxing. LOL.
