Chapter 650: Ace in the Hole (2)

Ken and Steve walked out to the field together, the latter looking a little on edge.

"We can't wait any longer… These guys will be targeting your fastballs like crazy from now on since it's their 2nd at-bat." He said, narrowing his eyes.

Ken shrugged, "You're the boss, I'll throw whatever you tell me to." 

Steve nodded, his mind deep in thought. Once he had it in his mind to end the game early, he became extremely motivated. Although it might seem a little unorthodox, Ken was on board nonetheless.

By the time Ken arrived on the mound, the first batter for the Dodgers was already waiting by the side. Based on his determined and fierce expression, even Ken could tell that the guy would come out swinging.

Ken turned to Steve and felt a new sense of appreciation for his friend. He was surprised at the guy's intuition, despite his seemingly lazy persona.

'I guess he's an EX- potential for a reason…' Ken mused inwardly.
