Capítulo 225: Charismatic Ken (1)

Hiroki's premonition seemed to come to life as the next two balls were even harder to read than the last. Thankfully he had managed to make contact on the curve ball and foul it off.

He was starting to get a little frustrated with all of the different pitches the blond pitcher was throwing at him. If the blitzing fastball wasn't enough, he also had to contend with the curve, slider and possibly others that he hadn't seen just yet.

As his mind was trying to come up with a solution, it was cut short by the quick wind up of the pitcher on the mound.

Hiroki narrowed his eyes and made a judgment call. The direction of the pitch told him it should be in the strike zone, so he just decided to swing to contact.

DONG

'Crap'

The ball bounced along the ground a few times towards this teen at short stop. Hiroki felt a sliver of hope since the guy had made an error last time, however he ended up disappointed.
