Production



Development


Choi Yoon-tae was inspired to write this film in 2017 after he watched the interview of a female baseball player. He added that "when [he] told [his] wife that there is no current rule banning women from playing on a professional baseball team, she seemed surprised; so [he] thought it would be interesting to write a story on an aspiring female baseball player."[4]


Casting


On November 16, 2018, Lee Joo-young was cast as the protagonist of Baseball Girl.[5] On November 20, Lee Joon-hyuk's agency confirmed that the actor would be starring in the film, playing a high school baseball coach who helps Joo Soo-in achieve her dream.[6] On November 28, Yeom Hye-ran joined the main cast in the role of Soo-in's mother.[7] Kwak Dong-yeon was confirmed on January 4, 2019 for the role of a high school baseball player,[8] followed by Lee Chae-eun on January 15 for the role of Soo-in's Japanese teacher.[9]


Filming


Principal photography began in January 2019 and filming ended in February, a period during which baseball players usually cannot train due to the cold weather, which made filming more difficult in addition to the small budget.[3]


Release


Baseball Girl premiered at the 24th Busan International Film Festival on October 4, 2019 in the presence of director Choi Yoon-tae and actors Lee Joo-young, Lee Joon-hyuk and Yeom Hye-ran.[10] GV screenings took place on October 4 and 5 at Lotte Cinema Centum City and a general screening was held on October 9 at Lotte Cinema Daeyoung. Tickets were sold out soon after they went on sale for both screenings.[11]

The film hit theaters on June 18, 2020.[12]


Reception



Critical response


At the Busan International Film Festival, the media, critics and audience praised Lee Joo-young's acting as well as Soo-in's passion, her determination to keep running towards her dream and not giving up despite prejudice against her gender.[13]
