It was an incredibly large parabola that hit the ceiling of Gocheok Dome directly and landed on the top of the left fence.
It was hard for him to guess how far he would have flown if there had been no ceiling.
Unless additional points are given for home run distance, it is worth 1 point even if it just goes over the fence, and it is also worth 1 point if it flies 200 meters over the fence.
However, the longer the distance of a home run, the flower and symbol of baseball, the stronger the impression it leaves in the minds of those who see it.
