章 377: Fatigue (1)

After securing another out, Cuba took the field once more with Antonio at the helm.

Ken was first in the batters box to start and originally was filled with confidence. Despite not facing a sidearm pitcher before, he believed that with his high grades in Balance and Coordination, paired with his upgraded mental capacity would give him an edge.

Unfortunately for him, he underestimated how tricky the balls were.

The movements of the ball were something he'd never seen before, making it almost impossible to make a connection with the bat.

Ken missed big on two sinkers and just when he thought that he could predict the course, the final pitch was a devastating slider that completely bamboozled him.

"Strikeout!"

Ken was left scratching his head as he made his way back to the dugout. While the slider was what caught him off guard, he believed that he could track down the sinker if he saw it a few more times.
