Bab 419: Too Fast (1)

The Jaguar lowered its stance, anticipating the ball's course and speed. Its dangerous eyes narrowed in on the target before it pounced into action.

Santiago's swing was stealthy, yet filled with power. It seemed to glide through the air at first before accelerating swiftly into the strike zone.

WHOOOSH

DONG

The ball was struck as it entered the danger zone, producing a crisp sound. The lack of vibration from the bat indicated that it was hit away from the center, yet the ball still flew into the outfield.

"Right!"

Ken was already bounding forwards as Masayuki called out his position. He had expected the ball to not make it past the infield, but he was surprised that it carried so far.

It was a testament to the power that Santiago had that he was able to hit it this far despite not making the best contact with the ball.
