บท 356: First Blood (2)

'I need to look cool in front of Miho…' Daichi thought, gripping his bat tightly.

He watched the pitcher wind up and send the ball towards the plate. The ball was around 145km/h and was outside the strike zone. Though he could still definitely hit it, Daichi didn't even flinch as it went through to the catcher.

"Ball"

From what he'd seen, the pitcher had only thrown fastballs so far. But thanks to his father's extensive research, the team was already aware of his pitching arsenal.

"2 outs! Keep it coming Park!"

The Korean team shouted words of support from the infield towards the pitcher. Of course no one on the Japanese team could understand them.

On the mound, Park nodded towards the catcher and performed his wind up once again, sending a slider that broke away from Daichi.
