Channel A's sports variety program 'Baseball Queen 2' will premiere at 10 PM on the 9th. In this season 2, the new challenge of Korea's 50th women's baseball team, the 'Black Queens,' unfolds.

Only 3 Selected Out of 308 Applicants… Tryout Held at the Original Black Queens Testing Ground

The season 2 tryout drew 308 applicants from a total of 47 disciplines, who competed fiercely, with only 3 ultimately making the final roster. The tryout was held at the very venue where the original Black Queens members took their entrance tests, giving special meaning to the applicants.

"Immediate Impact Player"… Defense, Throwing, and Hitting Skills Surprise the Coaching Staff

At the venue, applicants who showcased outstanding talent in defense and throwing consistently drew attention. Coach Yoon Seok-min praised them, saying, "I see players who could be put into real games right away without any shortcomings — 'immediate impact players.'" Coach Lee Dae-hyung also expressed satisfaction, saying, "I want to confirm the successful candidates right now." Impressive performances continued in hitting as well. Kim On-ah, after seeing one applicant's long hit, said, "They hit better than I do," and Manager Choo Shin-soo responded positively, saying, "That's exactly the stance I like." As the tryout progressed, the competition heated up, and Coach Lee Dae-hyung could not hide his surprise, saying, "A new variable has appeared — I think we need to reconsider," indicating a level of talent that would require re-evaluating the existing roster.

**Existing Members Also Anxious… "Should Aim for the Mascot Spot" "My Position Is in Jeopardy"

With the rookies making strides, the tension among existing players also rose. Third baseman Kim Seong-yeon lightened the mood with a joke, saying, "Watching the tests, I think I should aim for the mascot 'Pyorong-i' position rather than third base," but Jang Soo-young expressed concern about her standing, saying, "My position is in jeopardy." Meanwhile, Kim Min-ji faced off against a catcher applicant in a stolen base prevention contest. To verify the catcher applicant's throwing ability, Kim Min-ji was placed at first base and made to sprint at full speed, and the manager and coaching staff expressed anticipation, saying, "If you throw out Min-ji, you can be immediately inserted into the game."

"Team Disbandment if 60% Win Rate Is Not Achieved"… Season 2 to Include International Matches

This season comes with the unprecedented condition of "team disbandment if a 60% win rate is not achieved." Additionally, international matches against Japanese and Taiwanese corporate league teams are scheduled, promising even more intense developments.
