Bab 138: 138. Genius Catcher

"Ah, it must be Umeda Tomio from Keizo Middle. He is a freak of nature. Whenever I see his pitch calling, I think he came from the future. It's like he can literally anticipate every move the batter would make for any given pitch in that situation. It is crazy." exclaimed Meiko. 

Sora nodded and said, "The Keizo Middle is a very average team, with better-than-average pitchers. They could only barely make it past the preliminaries and get into the nationals every time and lose in the first round. But after Tomio became the catcher and captain of the team, it changed."

"Yes, they won the national championship last year. An unknown team was able to win the national championship for the first time, and it was all because of him. He was able to bring in the best potential out of these average pitchers and use it to the maximum."
