บท 450: Dangerous Batters (2)

Ken nodded, he was thinking along the same lines.

"Strikeout!"

"3 outs, changeover!"

During their conversation, Ichiro had been quickly struck out in 3 balls. He retreated back to the dugout, removing his helmet and revealing his glorious hair.

His face looked like he was constipated, though he was in fact just frustrated. He had finally thought he'd be able to get a hit after Ken was struck out, yet he couldn't even make contact with the ball.

Unaware of the unspoken rivalry directed at him, Ken retrieved his cap and glove and walked back onto the field to begin the bottom of the 2nd inning.

He waited for Daichi and leaned close.

"Get ready for some heat." Ken said with a grin.

"Hmm?"

He turned his attention to the other dugout and saw Leo practicing his swing. The sound of the bat cutting through the air was audible halfway across the field, indicating just how dangerous he was.
