As the Korean team made their way off the field, Coach Hyun breathed out a sigh of relief. They were originally on the back foot, but managed to force a double play and avoid the worst case scenario.
Of course conceding a 2-run home run was not within his plans, but it could have been a lot worse.
"Alright guys, remember what I told you. Be patient and try to pick your shots, we'll have more opportunities the longer the game goes on."
Coach Hyun's eyes traveled to the Ace of Japan's team and narrowed his eyes. He knew that they were going to have a hard time scoring runs against the sniper, but he had faith in his team.
Ken put on his glove and hat before slowly walking onto the field. He soon broke out into a jog and glanced at the mound briefly before running into the right outfield.
It felt quite odd running past the mound.
"Eh?"
Nothing like having your name destroyed by an announcer. As someone with a unique name, I was often plagued by this growing up.
