บท 373: Substitution (1)

"Strikeout"

"Strikeout"

"Strikeout! 3 outs, changeover!"

Ken had been worried for nothing. After receiving the pep talk from his father, Daichi was back to his old ways, conducting the pitches as if he were a maestro behind the scenes.

The three Cuban batters were struck out in succession, not even able to get a whiff of the ball.

"Pitcher change for Cuba. Antonio Parra will be replacing Gustavo Torez on the mound."

As the Cuban team walked onto the field, the announcer called the substitution. Gustavo who had given up 5 runs in the first inning was quickly replaced by another teen with long limbs.

Surprisingly, this pitcher was not someone that the coach's were familiar with.

"Antonio Parra? Do you know him?" Coach Takashi asked, his hand running through his beard in thought.

Chris shook his head, even with his resources he had not heard of such a player.
