The 'luxury baseball' Spark Fighters will face off in a fiercely competitive match against the baseball team of Incheon High School, known as a 'baseball powerhouse.'
On the 23rd (Monday) at 8 p.m., the 8th episode of the Studio C1 baseball entertainment program 'Spark Baseball' will feature the first match between the Spark Fighters, who are writing a new history, and Incheon High, which has a long-standing history.
Gathered at Songdo LNG Sports Town for the match against Incheon High, the Spark Fighters, who are on a three-game winning streak, grab attention with their cheerful smiles. However, as playing coach Tae-geun Lee starts his analysis of the opponent, the atmosphere begins to stiffen. The analysis reveals that the Incheon High baseball team boasts a history of 120 years and achieved a grand slam in major high school baseball tournaments with their victory in the 2020 Bonghwangdaegi National High School Baseball Championship. In addition, they have many players expected to be selected in the 2026 KBO League rookie draft. The Fighters’ expressions harden at the thought that they will be facing a formidable team.
Under the strangely tense atmosphere covering the stadium, the Fighters begin their warm-up as usual. At the moment they start serious batting practice, Director General Jang Si-won gives the order, ‘I’ll shoot Jeong Ui-yoon on camera.’ This is a special treatment for Jeong Ui-yoon, who is currently ranked first in the team batting average at .538. Kim Mun-ho, watching from the back, comments, 'Why does he look different even though he’s hitting the same as before?' and Park Jae-wook beside him adds, 'As expected, a promising player', unable to hide his envy. Kim Mun-ho also expresses his hopes, saying, 'I sincerely hope your good hitting form lasts a long time,' leaving words of encouragement for Jeong Ui-yoon, who was in the same position until last year.
Meanwhile, 'baseball grandfather' Coach Kim Seong-geun appears at the stadium looking healthy, catching the eye. Coach Kim reviews the players' batting forms with his usual sharp gaze. He nods positively at Jeong Ui-yoon's swing, but shows a cold glare to the hitters Kim Mun-ho and Park Jae-wook as he continues the rest of the lesson, drawing laughter from the team.
While the Fighters continue their efforts for victory, competition (?) for the commentator position unfolds outside the ground. In place of Commissioner Kim Seon-woo, a 'secret weapon' makes an appearance. He reveals his thorough preparation by bringing props that are a perfect fit for the program name 'Spark Baseball.' Commentator Jeong Yong-gum greets him with a bright smile, saying, 'He has the best talk among the baseball commentators,' while the secretive commentator states, 'I will do my best. I will work hard to make Kim Seon-woo nervous,' showing an extraordinary determination. Will this commentator be able to emerge as the victory fairy for the Fighters?
It will be released on the official Studio C1 YouTube channel on the 23rd (Monday) at 8 p.m.
