Chapter 365: Pinch (1)

Daichi could feel the pressure that the newest batter exuded in front of him. It also felt a little strange to have a left handed batter in the box, but it wasn't something that he hadn't trained for.

'I need to make the most of our favorable match up.' He thought.

Crouching down, he made the sign for a two seam fastball. Since they were both left handed, the ball would slightly break to the inside.

Kei nodded. He just needed one more out in order to end the inning.

WHOOOSH

PAH

Daichi almost flinched as he felt the dangerous wind from the bat rush past his face. Thankfully he was able to keep his composure and catch the ball under such a circumstance.

"Strike."

"Nice pitch!" He said aloud, throwing the ball back to the mound.

'I can't give him any easy balls.' Daichi concluded. As long as that swing was on target, there was nothing to stop it from going into the stands for a home run.
