Remember the popular baseball drama'Stove League' last winter.
An independent club player who served as a pitcher in the drama has achieved a real'professional dream'.
Reporter Kim Jung-woo met the protagonist.
Actor Ha Do-kwon, who played the role of pitcher Kang Doo-gi in the

drama, drew attention with his pitching form that looks like a real player.
However, there was a separate protagonist of a heavy fastball and a sharp change ball.
[Kim Dong-jin/Samsung rookie nominated player (24 years old): I didn't know that Kang Doo-gi would play the role, but when I went back to see him, his body was similar to me.
Actress Do-kwon Ha said,'How can I throw the ball like that?
I said, "Please let me know"...

Kim Dong-jin, who continued his dream of becoming a professional player in an independent club, grew more desperate during the filming period.
[Kim Dongjin/Samsung rookie nominated player (age 24): I was very excited.
How about going to the first group and doing the same thing?]
And in the second round of nominations for rookies on the 21st, the moment the name was called.
[I will nominate Samsung Lions.
Paju Challengers infielder Dongjin Kim.] The
dream has become a reality.
[Kim Dong-jin/Samsung rookie nominated player (age 24): I couldn't see it (rookie draft) and went to the game.
I knew then because (the relay team) screamed before starting the attack at the beginning of the 4th episode.]
Kim Dong-jin, who stepped on the professional stage more dramatically than the drama, now runs toward a bigger dream.
[Kim Dong-jin/Samsung new player nominated (24 years old): I came here from the 4th grade of elementary school to see only one professional.
It's a little bit late.
We will be able to show you faster in Group 1 without losing your skills.]
