Kapitel 11: CHAPTER 11 : Furuya
We are walking now towards the baseball field right now as instructed earlier to us before having our breakfast.
*PANGG
*PANGG
We heard the sound of a bat hitting the ball as we are nearing the field, our senpai is practicing over there. 'They're good' I thought as I watched some first string practice their batting.
"First years gather up!" Coach yells as we saw him entering the field.
"Go put on your spikes, we are going to test your skills in your desired position, Gather at B ground afterwards" coach said on which I hear excited whispers coming from the freshmans. I quietly go to change to my cleats shoes myself but before exiting the field I've notice the loudmouth kid earlier that tried to sneak in talking with coach which I just pay no mind.
After that we immediately gathered at B ground as instructed.
"Fielders follow Yuki and for Pitches follow me to the bullpen" he said pointing at our captain and walking towards the bullpen himself so I just followed at our coach back.
When we arrived there's two people over there waiting wearing catchers gear. I don't know their names yet but I'm sure they're our senpai. As they greeted our coach I've notice that there's around 10 of us freshman that wants to be a pitcher here.
'Too bad for them, as long as I'm here that mound belongs to me' I thought to myself.
KATAOKA'S POV
As we arrived at the pitching bullpen. Miyauchi and Ono whom I asked to come catch for the first years greeted me. I just nod at them and get back to scanning the list in my hands which have the names of first year pitchers.
"There's quite a lot this time hah" I said to myself softly, hoping we could get someone decent this year.
"Okay let's start, I'll call your names by pair and you're going to show me what you guys can do. Your senpai over there would catch for you" I said looking at the first years.
"Let's begin"
JIRO's POV
"Let's begin"
Coach said and started reading names.
"Aoi Mishiba, Kirishima Matabo, Warm up your shoulders first before pitching"
"Yes!" Both of them answered and started doing their warm up pitches. I'm slowly getting excited myself. After a couple of minutes they started throwing seriously which disappointed me a little since their pitch aside from not that fast they can't control the course and it lacked power.
I just continued to watch my fellow Freshman getting called one by one and showing coach what they could do. One of the decent one so far si Tojo, atleast he could pitch quietly decently. After a couple more of first years pitching coach called the second to the last pair.
"Mashina Ken, Satoru Furuya" Coach mentioned there names and I saw the guy who fell asleep while eating during breakfast walk forward, he's Furuya. 'I guess I'll pitch last eh, is this what they mean as Save the best for last?' I thought to myself getting excited since it's almost my turn.
Both of them started warming up first before throwing seriously then a loud sound came.
*BOOMM
A loud sound have been made with the laser like ball that flies towards the catcher which unfortunately my senpai didn't catch. He look terrified as there on the mound stood a lean tall guy which shocked everyone just now.
"Interesting" I mumbled as I look at the figure of Furuya. I didn't think I'd met someone here who could throw like that.
"Not bad" I said softly while nodding my head, The speed of the ball is around 149km/h - 150km/h.
THIRD PERSON POV
Kataoka's gaze sharpen at the sight of Furuya pitching. He's happy inside but you couldn't see any change in his emotions.
Kataoka look at one of the managers beside him and said "Call Miyuki" with a sharp light that passed his eyes without anyone noticing.
"Continue" he said implying for Furuya to continue pitching but the outcome is still the same. Miyauchi a 3rd year catcher can't catch a single pitch so far.
Before Furuya could throw the 4th pitch, Miyuki arrived and saw the scene on the bullpen. The catcher's gaze shine at the sight of the mere speed of the fastball.
"Ohh this is interesting" Miyuki mumbled
"Go change in your catchers gear" Instructed by kataoka on which the catchers nod and follow his instructions.
After awhile Miyuki could be now seen sitting on the other end of the mound. It attracted quite the attention as some of the seniors and regulars could be seen paying attention.
"Throw here , I'll catch it" Miyuki said opening his mitt with a determined gaze looking at Furuya on which exudes his aura on the mound. The intensity could be feel around.
*BOOMMMM
Once again a loud sound could be heard, Miyuki managed to catch it but the pitch is wild. It's going all over the place which Miyuki managed to not let a single one slip behind him.
While all of that is happening everyone have shocked faces over there face but there is another boy that just stood there smiling widely looking at the sight of Miyuki Kazuya catching all of the fast wild pitches with his brown and blue eyes shining at the sight.
JIRO's POV
'Amazing' I thought impressed at the sight of Miyuki Catching all of those pitches. I'm more amaze at his catching skills than impressed at Furuya's pitching.
Sure Furuya is fast but that's all he is. He doesn't have control over his fastballs at all so it's not really impressive in my eyes.
After awhile the coach ask the other guy which has a downcast expression on his face if he have other balls to show on which he just shake his head off. Coach never bothered asking Furuya about breaking balls since there's no need considering his balls is all over the strike zone.
"Okay that's it for now, Oshiba Go, Tsubayoshi Jiro! It's your turn." Coach said so I made my way on the other mound, I was paired up by Ono senpai and Miyuki senpai just switched back with Miyauchi senpai.
Miyuki senpai just stood there at the side like a bystander now, our gaze met and I just smiled and nod at him on which he returned.
I stood at the mound and started doing my warm up pitches. I still could hear the conversations around me about Furuya's pitch, which irritated me a little honestly.
When I'm done and ready to finally throw seriously. I closed my eyes first thinking about everything that I've gone through before standing on this place again. As I opened my eyes.
*Doommm , a huge pressure was released coming from my body. Tension is up as everyone stared at my way with shock expressions on their faces because of the aura that I've released.
"Let's start" I mumbled ready to start unleashing my pent up hunger for baseball these past few years.
