章 246: Stomp (2)

Ken however, had no reaction upon the mound. He began his warm up throws and as feeling especially good in this moment.

After around 15 throws, he indicated to the umpire that he was ready.

"Play ball!"

A loud cheer erupted as everyone got ready to witness arguably the top pitcher in high school at this moment.

Daichi finished his cooling down stretches in the locker room as his coach went over a debriefing. Even though they had stomped the opposition convincingly, no one seemed complacent.

Perhaps this was because of the man in front of them, Coach Narukami.

Despite his age, the coach's eyes were bright and intelligent, filled with passion. He demanded excellence from his players, creating a professional and harmonious atmosphere within the team.

Of course this had its drawbacks, like having to stay behind after a game or practice for debriefs. Yet everyone had gotten used to it by now.
