Chapter 62
The strategy of having Cha Taehyun start as both pitcher and batter in the season opener—while crazy—was successful since they secured the win.
“…But we should limit how much we make him play both positions.”
Keeping him fixed as the primary starter and rotating him regularly felt like too much of a stretch, no matter how exceptional Cha Taehyun was. After all, despite his superhuman performances, he was still human. He couldn’t pitch a complete game every time.
Of course, even if he didn’t pitch a complete game, he could continue playing as a batter after being replaced as pitcher. However, any pitcher that took his place would eventually have to bat, creating a hole in the lineup.
It was complicated if he didn’t complete the game…
“Maybe we should have him pitch once every two weeks or only play both roles during crucial games… that seems like the right approach, Coach Goo,” the manager suggested.
Coach Goo tilted his head in thought.
“Hm… I think if Taehyun is okay with it, we should just let him keep going,” he replied.
—Crack!
