Inspired by the mythical Mets' Koo-Dae Sung and Randy Johnson Matchup and Shoei Ohtani's life story comes into an original baseball Cinderella story from the beloved cult classic "Major League" movie. Taking place after many years of 'that' Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) win against the Yankees, A Korean-born American name Langdon Rhee, gets some attention from the drought-ful Yankees when he pitches a perfect game against the Yankees' Minor League team, Railriders. But after they got that LA Dodgers prospect future player in their hands, Jacob Gothlieber was surprised that the small typos on the draft paper suggest he'll play as a batter too, which he's not good at it. With a threat from the new prosperous league rivals. Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox, Yankees need a fast-track ripe for Rhee to be another Ohtani to fulfill the fantasy of a great Asian Baseball Player. Another story came after the infamous Cleveland Indians player became the Yankees coach after firing the recent one and sure the management doesn't seem keen about his track records for coaching G-Stan, Judge, Odor, Chapman, and even Rhee. But things get pretty... Major League in their own.
