    Was that a two-seamer?

    That sank like crazy!
[00:26] _Player
    How fast was that going?
[00:28] _Player
    I don't think you can call that
    a natural break anymore!
[00:31] _Player
    It started pretty high, too.
[00:32] _Player
    Man, coming up with a plan to
    attack Furuya was tough enough!

    The numbers break differently
    depending on the day.
[02:24] @int_Miyuki
    It makes them fun, but also annoying.
[02:30] @int_Miyuki
    We also have this lifeline...
[02:32] @int_Miyuki
    His fastball!
[02:35] @int_Miyuki
    Inside or outside...
[02:39] @int_Miyuki
    He can throw it with deadly accuracy,
    giving us plenty of options.
[02:43] Ota
    Two strikes with two pitches!
[02:45] Ota
    He isn't wasting a single one!
[02:47] int_Sachiko
    He had 38 pitches in five innings.
[02:51] @int_Ochiai
    His ERA against the
    powerhouse schools Hakuryu,
[02:54] @int_Ochiai
    Naruta Industrial, and Kume was 1.17.
[02:59] @int_Ochiai
    His adaptability in tough situations,
[03:02] @int_Ochiai
    and his ability to focus on every pitch...
[03:06] @int_Ochiai
    The more he faces strong teams,
[03:08] @int_Ochiai
    the more polished his pitching becomes.
[03:13] _Umpire
    Strike! Batter out!
[03:16] Maezono
    Yeah!
[03:17] @int_Ochiai
    It's like he transfers his
    confidence into the ball.
[03:20] @int_Ochiai
    What a pleasant surprise.
[03:24] @int_Ochiai
    While Furuya is in a slump,
[03:26] @int_Ochiai
    Sawamura has shown incredible growth.
[03:33] @int_Sawamura
    It's not enough.
[03:36] @int_Sawamura
    It's still not enough.
[03:39] @int_Sawamura
    I want to pitch.
[03:43] @int_Sawamura
    I want to pitch more.
[03:46] @int_Sawamura
    I want to pitch more against ace pitchers.
[03:56] @Okumura
    It's your first time pitching
    in an actual game in a while.
[03:59] @Okumura
    Will you lean on your fastballs to start?
[04:02] @Okumura
    If you can keep them in the strike zone,
    they won't be able to hit them.
[04:08] @Furuya
    I have trouble holding myself back.
[04:12] @Okumura
    Yes, sir. I believe I understand.
[04:17] @Furuya
    As for Eijun...
[04:19] @Furuya
    He's been an inspiration for me.
[04:23] @Furuya
    I've seen how hard he's worked.
[04:26] @Furuya
    I told him he had pitched well after
    the Hakuryu game, and I meant it.
[04:32] @Furuya
    He brightens the team.
[04:34] @Furuya
    He's awash with aspirations.
[04:37] @Furuya
    The team needed a pitcher like him.
[04:43] @Furuya
    But I don't want to be second best
    when I'm on the mound.
[04:49] @Furuya
    That's always been my approach,
    and I can't change it now.
[04:56] @Furuya
    It may cause trouble for you
    and the rest of the team...
[05:00] @Okumura
    The same goes for me.
[05:02] @Okumura
    I don't want to be second best
    to anyone else, either.
[05:10] @Okumura
    Throw it down the middle early on,
    even if they get some hits.
[05:13] @Okumura
    If we get ahead in the count,
    I'll give the sign for a breaking ball.
[05:18] @Okumura
    Let's decide what to do
    once we've seen how you're doing.
[05:21] @Okumura
    Give me the signature Satoru Furuya

[06:35] _Fan
    What's he doing pitching
    in a second-string game?
[06:38] @int_Okumura
    His pitches are high, but the ball's
    momentum is getting swings and misses.
[06:44] Haruno
    That's one out.
[06:46] @int_Ochiai
    He's pitching high.
[06:48] @int_Okumura
    It's his first time on
    the mound in two weeks.
[06:51] @int_Okumura
    We got the first out we needed.
[06:55] @int_Okumura
    I can set up in the middle and rely on
    his pace to get us through this inning.
[07:04] @int_Okumura
    Excuse me. Timeout, please.
[07:08] @Okumura
    What's the matter? Having trouble pitching?
[07:11] @Furuya
    No, that's not it.
[07:14] @Furuya
    I get the feeling this team will swing
    on borderline pitches.
[07:18] @Furuya
    Could you set up outside
    instead of the middle?
[07:24] @Furuya
    I want to focus on technique as
    much as results for this game.
[07:30] @int_Ochiai
    This is just the second batter, you know?
[07:33] @Okumura
    Understood. Let's go for outside pitches.
[07:39] @int_Okumura
    He may still be getting back up to speed,
    but I shouldn't have set up down the middle.
[07:44] @int_Okumura
    That was an insult to him.
[07:47] @int_Okumura
    He wears Seido's ace number.
[07:51] @int_Okumura
    He's looking beyond this game,
    at all the games to come.
[08:05] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    There is no shortcut to glory.
[08:07] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka

    mistake aggressiveness for arrogance.
[08:12] @fbint_Kataoka
    What kind of pitcher do you
    think the best in Japan is?

    We aren't going to let you

    want or don't want.
[08:31] (Flashback) fb_Kawakami
    No matter what situation he lands in,
[08:33] (Flashback) fb_Kawakami
    he pitches his best.
[08:35] (Flashback) fb_Kawakami
    I prepare myself so I can do that, too.
[08:38] @int_Furuya
    It's all about winning.
[08:42] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura

[08:51] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I'm not satisfied at all!
[08:53] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    We can't let him outshine us like this.
[08:59] @int_Furuya
    That's why...

[09:22] @Kuramochi
    No one can hit his outside pitches
    when they're on target.
[09:25] Maezono
    I'd hit it! I have to!
[09:28] @int_Okumura
    Two outs and no runners.
[09:30] @int_Okumura
    The count is one ball, two strikes.
[09:33] @int_Okumura
    His pitching has settled down.
[09:40] @int_Okumura
    Please swing your arm through.
[09:43] @int_Okumura
    Let's get the momentum of
    the ball to make him swing.
[09:51] _Umpire
    Ball.
[09:53] @Kanemaru
    Did he pinch the ball?
[09:55] Tojo
    I think so.
[09:57] @Miyuki
    It got caught on his finger.
[10:00] Ono
    At that speed, it can be hard to catch
    when it spins off to the side.
[10:06] Ono
    It's his first time catching for Furuya.
[10:08] Ono
    I'm not surprised it got by him.
[10:13] @int_Okumura
    We still have two pitches to work with.
[10:15] @int_Okumura
    Let's see what we can do.
[10:18] @int_Okumura
    Focus on height instead of trajectory.
[10:20] @int_Okumura
    Just get it across the plate.
[10:24] @int_Miyuki
    What do you have as a finish?
[10:35] _Fan
    Yeah, he swung!
[10:37] _Fan
    But it bounced off the catcher!
[10:41] _Fan
    Wow, three outs in a row!
[10:43] _Fan
    That's an impressive start!
[10:45] Kawakami
    He doesn't get rattled, huh?
[10:46] Ono
    Yeah, and his throw to first was spot-on.
[10:50] @Okumura
    I'm sorry. I'll catch the next one.
[10:53] @Furuya
    We managed a three up, three down.
[10:56] @Furuya
    I'll keep throwing
    what you ask next inning.
[11:02] @int_Seto
    Koshu is still Koshu, no matter
    who he's catching for.
[11:06] @int_Seto
    He's incredible when it comes to baseball.
[11:10] @Kuramochi
    How would you hit that?
[11:12] Maezono
    I wouldn't! Let it go and it's a ball!
[11:15] @Miyuki
    I'm glad that he got a K on a splitter
     instead of just using fastballs.
[11:20] @Miyuki
    It will encourage Furuya and
    give Okumura more options next inning.
[11:26] @int_Miyuki
    So he's not all talk.
[11:31] @int_Yui
    He asked for the same pitch
    that got by the first time?
[11:36] @Sawamura
    Nice pitch, Furuya!
[11:37] @Sawamura
    Way to force it through!
[11:39] @Sawamura
    Good job stopping it, Okumura!
[11:41] @Sawamura
    Keep pushing just like that!

    Force it... I don't like that.

    is Inui from Teito.
[15:14] @Ochiai
    Are you disappointed?
[15:15] @Miyuki
    No, that's a relief.
[15:18] Takashima
    Each school sends at least one player,
    mostly third-years.

    Tokyo's all-star team
    will consist of eighteen players.

    Inashiro Industrial is sending Coach
    Kunitomo and four of their players.
[15:30] Takashima
    Joint practices will be held on
    Inashiro's field, as well.
[15:34] Takashima
    The team from America
[15:36] Takashima
    has eighteen players from the
    Wynd Youth Academy on the West Coast.
[15:41] Takashima
    They're a team of high schoolers from

    You can catch Narumiya's pitches

    Be sure to show them what you
    can do as a baseball player.
[16:26] @Miyuki
    Yes, sir.
[16:28] @Miyuki
    I'm a little hesitant to be away
    from the team during this time,
[16:31] @Miyuki
    but I will bring back something
    that will be of use.
[16:35] @Ochiai
    It's been a while since you had a
    break from your captain duties, too.
[16:38] @Miyuki
    Yes, sir.
[16:39] @Ochiai
    Please just don't get injured.
[16:42] @Kataoka
    Now, about the first-years who
    are joining the first string...
[16:50] Ota
    I'm back.
[16:52] @Ochiai
    How was Furuya?
[16:55] Ota
    He's fine.

    It's been two days since he pitched,
    and he hasn't felt any discomfort.

[17:39] @Yui
    I'll switch out anytime you want me to.
[17:41] @Yui
    But I want to try to get

[17:47] @Furuya
    Yeah, I was going to ask you anyway.

    but I also want to help you
    get stronger as a pitcher.
[18:08] Ono
    That's how the whole catching staff feels.

    And of course, we don't want our streak
    to snap while Miyuki's away.

[18:52] @Okumura
    It was like he was hitting me with his
    raw emotions and not holding back.
[18:59] @Okumura
    Right at me.
[19:01] @Seto
    Koshu...?
[19:03] @Okumura
    Honestly, those three innings I spent catching for him took everything I had.
[19:12] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    This isn't gonna be like warmups,
    young Okumura.
[19:20] @Okumura
    So that's what comes naturally for those two.
[19:26] @Okumura
    And the one they're looking at is always...
[19:36] @Okumura
    I hate to admit it, but I can't get there yet.
[19:41] @Okumura
    Not to the stratosphere these guys play on.
[19:47] @Okumura
    Damn it.
[19:50] @Okumura
    It's so frustrating being a first-year.
[19:56] @Okumura
    I don't want to be beaten.
[20:09] Narrator
    It was officially announced that
    Furuya would rejoin the first string,
[20:12] Narrator
    and that Okumura and Seto would
    join the first string as well.
[20:22] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Now, about the first-years who
    are joining the first string...
SIGN    The Previous Night
[20:26] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    I have no qualms about Okumura's abilities,
    but he still lacks maturity.
[20:33] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    What do you think, seeing as
    you're rooming with him?
[20:36] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    He can be overly thorny,
    but he has proper manners.
[20:42] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    When I was a first-year, I mouthed off
    and the upperclassmen didn't like me,
[20:48] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    but being on the first
    string taught me a lot.
[20:51] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Throwing him into the deep end may help
    him become aware of what's expected.
[20:59] (Flashback) fb_Takashima
    So you knew you were mouthing off.
[21:02] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
    I can picture him sticking his tongue
    out behind people's backs.
[21:04] (Flashback) fb_Ota
    Yes! He was cheeky and mouthed off!
[21:07] (Flashback) fb_Ota
    He had the upperclassmen
    hot under the collar!
[21:18] @Sawamura
    You're finally on the first string.
[21:21] @Okumura
    It's only while Miyuki-senpai is away.
[21:30] @Okumura
    Thank you for waiting.
[21:33] @Okumura
    Please let me know any time
    you need a catcher.
[21:40] @Okumura
    Right now, even, if you like.
[21:46] @Sawamura
    Sorry, but I'm not throwing today!
[21:49] @Okumura
    Tomorrow, then.
[21:50] @Sawamura
    Miyuki-senpai's catching for me tomorrow!
[21:53] @Okumura
    Tomorrow.
[21:53] @Sawamura
    I dunno!
[21:54] @Okumura
    Let's do it tomorrow.
[21:56] @Sawamura
    I don't think I get to decide!
[21:57] @Okumura
    It's tomorrow.
[21:58] @Sawamura
    I should really ask Miyuki-senpai!
[21:58] @Yui
    Thank you!
[22:00] @Okumura
    It will be tomorrow.
[22:01] @Sawamura
    You want to catch for me that badly, eh?

    "Heat Transfer."
[23:49] @Okumura
    Damn, I can feel the ball pushing my mitt.
[23:51] @Okumura
    The speed and angle of each pitch are
    different, like the ball is alive.
[23:57] @Okumura
    This is the first string, the front line.
[24:01] @Okumura
    I won't be shaken off so easily!
[24:03] @Kuramochi
    Well, you can let us handle the team
[24:06] @Kuramochi
    while you go and cause some mayhem.
[24:09] @Kuramochi
    Just accept it.
[24:10] _All
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
