Capítulo 58: Shoto VS Hokuto (4)

Shun positioned himself in the batter's box, recalling the captain Kazuki's report about Kohei's pitches.

"In the game against Seishin, he didn't give up a single run. He has a great curveball and a decent slider, but the pitch he uses the most is his insane 4-seam fastball. Its speed almost reached 140 km/h in the game against Seishin. It's going to be tough to get many hits off him, so we need to take full advantage of any chances we get with runners on base."

"Hehe, doesn't matter how good he is!" - Shun smiled as he watched Kohei on the mound beginning his wind-up. The first pitch of the duel came.

"Strike!"

"Uooohhhhh!" - The crowd cheered, impressed. The speed counter on the stadium screen showed an impressive 137 km/h, an absurd speed for a second-year middle school boy.

"Wow! He really is fast!" - Toji said, impressed, from the stands. He was watching Kohei on the mound with fire in his eyes, wanting to catch the boy's pitches.
