Epilogue

The introduction to baseball is over! Now it's time for the advanced level!
Strategies, data, positions, and information on Korean and American professional baseball players.
"A book that makes you laugh and learn, and makes baseball more exciting the more you read."

"Baseball Comic Encyclopedia 2 - Advanced Edition" is not just a simple baseball comic book.
Through Baby, Junie, and Grandpa, who became familiar in Volume 1, baseball data such as OPS, WAR, and sabermetrics, which had previously felt difficult and complicated, become key weapons in winning.
"Data doesn't lie.
But, like the famous line in the book, “The final battle is ultimately decided by the heart,” it excitingly captures the charm of modern baseball, where numbers and emotions come together.

The dream match unfolds between the US champion team and the Korean champion team!
A thrilling match that feels like it was taken straight from a baseball stadium.

This book is a fictional match between the Korean baseball champions, the "Giwis," and the American baseball champions, the "Dodgers." It's not just a simple setting; it captures the tension and strategic elements of an actual professional baseball game, creating an immersive experience that makes you feel as if you're right there on the field.
In a breathtaking match that lasts from the first to the ninth inning and even into extra innings, you can naturally learn hidden knowledge by observing when to use data, changes in the batting order in modern baseball, the battle between pitchers and batters, the unwritten rules of baseball, and how to deploy bullpen pitchers.
The moment they turn the page, children feel excitement and laughter as if they were in the roar of a baseball stadium.

'Player vs. Player' corner where real-life stars face off

The "Player vs. Player" section, which appears in each issue, is a unique feature of this book. It features KBO and MLB players side by side, allowing players to compare their positions, playing styles, records, and strengths.
For example, you can see at a glance the characteristics of players playing in different leagues, such as Kim Do-young vs. Gunner Henderson, and Na Sung-beom vs. Bryce Harper.
This corner helps readers connect the knowledge they've learned from books with actual professional baseball players, and conveys the broad appeal of baseball.

Funny like a comic book, informative like a textbook
A baseball book that kills two birds with one stone: laughter and learning.

The humorous composition and drawing style of author Iktu, combined with the meticulous editing of reporter Kim Yang-hee, a baseball expert with 26 years of experience, have captured both fun and depth.
As you follow Juni and Baby's bickering conversations, you will soon find yourself understanding difficult terms, and the four-panel cartoons inserted here and there will make children burst into laughter, enhancing the learning effect.
This book provides deeper knowledge to children familiar with baseball, and a new discovery to children unfamiliar with baseball: “Baseball can be this much fun!”

A must-read for baseball fans.

"Baseball Comic Encyclopedia 2 - Advanced Edition" is a special book that will take your understanding of baseball to the next level.
After reading this book, everything you see on the baseball field—the pitcher's pitch selection, the defense's positioning, the hitter's approach—will look completely different.
"Baseball isn't something you play alone.
Just like the message in the book, "A team can only be truly powerful when the whole team moves together," this book will be the best baseball must-read of the year, providing young readers with the true charm and deep enjoyment of baseball.
