Summary
“Hot Stove League” tells the story of a struggling professional baseball team, the Dreams, whose new general manager is determined to turn their fortunes around during a crucial offseason. The drama highlights the efforts of Baek Seung-soo (played by Namkoong Min), the newly appointed GM, as he employs sabermetrics (statistical analysis) to save the last-place team. Unlike typical baseball dramas, “Hot Stove League” focuses on the front-office operations of a baseball club rather than the players themselves. The term “hot stove league” refers to the offseason period when teams strengthen their rosters through trades and salary negotiations.
