Next batter.

Four sticks, catcher, Okada Masaki!

Okada Masuki had been holding his breath for a long time. He was very unhappy with his mistake in matching the first ball against Tetsu Nishino in the game, but he had no way to quibble. The matching was based on results, and he was beaten.

Even if he didn't hit a home run, he could only think that he was too careless with the ball.

In particular, he discovered that most of the seniors in the starting lineup of the high school baseball club were freshmen who had never played baseball before. Their swings were very casual, and their fielding also looked like novices.

Why are all the newbies listed?

He also wondered why the seniors fielded a lineup that he considered to be the weakest.

If Tetsu Nishino knew what his junior, Okada Masuki, was thinking, he would be a little confused.

He really didn't arrange it this way on purpose.

Tetsu Nishino himself is also a freshman in baseball, and they have been training together for less than a month. How could he fully know the fielding and hitting abilities of all his teammates, let alone the fact that he has to spend a lot of time supplementing the catcher's knowledge.

Therefore, when he was ranked in the starting lineup, he adopted a voluntary principle and allowed his teammates to choose their own positions.

As a result, my teammates who had never played baseball before were very active and excitedly expressed that they wanted to start. On the contrary, a member of the junior high school baseball club said that he could be a substitute.

This is why it seems like it was only the first game, and high school freshmen like Nishino Tetsu were completely suppressed by their junior high school juniors in terms of attack and defense.

...

After thinking about it in his mind, Okada Masuki nodded to the referee to indicate that he was ready.

In the second half of the game, the offense of the junior high school.

The score seems to be close at hand.

With one out, there are players on first and third base.

Hitter, four bats!

"playball!"
Chapter completed!
