"Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain: Stove League" has been scheduled as a special episode.

At 11:20 a.m. on the 18th, KBS 2TV will broadcast "Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain: Stove League," which tells the prequel story of "Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain."

"Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain," which premiered on the 12th on KBS 2TV as a new sports reality entertainment program, features KBO legends Park Yong-taek, Lee Dae-ho, Kim Tae-gyun, and Na Ji-wan competing in actual league matches alongside U-10 youth players from their respective hometowns. During the premiere, Lee Dae-ho's "Little Giants" and Na Ji-wan's "Little Tigers" delivered a high-level opening game showdown, leaving a strong first impression on viewers.

Ahead of the official league matches, the organizers of "Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain" revealed on their official YouTube channel the preliminary gathering of four prominent figures in the baseball world, known as the "Kim-Na-Bak-I" quartet, followed by the process of directly selecting players. Park Yong-taek, Lee Dae-ho, Kim Tae-kyun, and manager Na Ji-wan conducted tryouts for elementary school students in grades 3 and 4 across nine districts in Seoul, as well as in Busan, Chungcheong, and Gwangju.

In fact, tryout videos for each team and team introduction content spread rapidly immediately after their release, centered on baseball communities and social media. The combined cumulative views across major platforms such as YouTube and Instagram quickly surpassed 500,000 views, with short-form content in particular continuing to follow a steep upward trajectory.

Accordingly, in "Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain: Stove League," which has been confirmed for emergency production, viewers can see the team formation process that was previously released only on YouTube, the unique opening statements of the managers, and the behind-the-scenes stories of the starting lineups that were not fully shown on the broadcast.

"Our Neighborhood Baseball Captain: Stove League" is scheduled to air on KBS 2TV with its main broadcast at 11:20 a.m. on the 18th, followed by a rerun at 12:25 p.m. on the 19th.

Meanwhile, the second episode of "Our Neighborhood Baseball King," featuring a matchup between Coach Park Yong-taek's "Little Twins" and Coach Kim Tae-kyun's "Little Eagles," will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 19th.
