Have him hit one my way, Sawamura!

Lookin' good, Sawamura!
[00:19] _Umpire
Strike! Batter out!
[00:21] _Player
So that's Seido's Sawamura.
[00:23] _Player
Was that a two-seamer?
[00:25] _Player
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!
[00:36] _Player
We definitely can't ignore
a pitcher like this guy.

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
pitches you threw in the bullpen.
[05:28] @Okumura
I'll help you!

Can he swing his arm through all the way?
[05:53] @Sawamura
Finish them off, Tojo!
[05:55] @Kuramochi
Be aggressive!
[05:57] @int_Miyuki
Does he have the instincts of a pitcher?
[06:02] @int_Miyuki
He swung his arm through.

[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
The team does not need plays that
mistake aggressiveness for arrogance.
[08:12] @fbint_Kataoka
What kind of pitcher do you
think the best in Japan is?
[08:16] (Flashback) fb_Ono
We aren't going to let you
play baseball by yourself.
[08:20] (Flashback) fb_Maezono
None of us is satisfied with
how we did in the spring!
[08:23] (Flashback) fb_Maezono
Don't go blaming everything on yourself!
[08:27] @int_Furuya
It's not about what I
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
I'm gonna steal
[08:45] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
that ace number from you.
[08:47] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
If you want to pitch, come see me.
[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...
[09:02] @int_Furuya
I want to be
[09:07] @int_Furuya
the best in Japan with this team!
[09:11] _Umpire
Strike!
[09:20] _Umpire

[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!
[11:43] @Furuya
Force it... I don't like that.

He must be tired, but it seems

[13:46] @int_Miyuki
Furuya and Sawamura's growth has left
him with fewer opportunities to play.

But when he does take the mound,
he still pitches with the same passion.

extended their winning
streak to seventeen games.
[14:55] @Ochiai
So this is the all-star roster.
[14:58] @Ochiai
Yakushi is sending their captain,
Hirahata, instead of Sanada.
[15:02] @Ochiai
Ichidai Third High is sending
their cleanup, Hoshida.
[15:05] Takashima
As expected, given the timing, a lot
of players withdrew from consideration.
[15:10] @Ochiai
The all-star team's captain
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.
[15:21] Takashima
Tokyo's all-star team
will consist of eighteen players.
[15:25] Takashima
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
Los Angeles, rather than an all-American team.
[15:47] Takashima
A former Major Leaguer
has volunteered to coach them.
[15:51] @Ochiai
You can catch Narumiya's pitches
on his own home field.
[15:56] @Ochiai
That's the best kind of
scouting possible.
[15:59] @Miyuki
We're not sure how much
he'll show me, though.
[16:03] @Ochiai
Yes, that's true.
[16:05] @Kataoka
I'm very thankful to Kunitomo-san
for taking on this role
[16:09] @Kataoka
for goodwill between our countries
and to improve baseball in Tokyo.
[16:14] @Kataoka
It will be a great experience to be on
a team with players all your own age.
[16:21] @Kataoka
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.

Please just don't get injured.

I'm back.
[16:52] @Ochiai
How was Furuya?
[16:55] Ota
He's fine.
[16:56] Ota
It's been two days since he pitched,
and he hasn't felt any discomfort.
[16:59] Ota
He'll keep having his massages,
[17:01] Ota
but Dr. Higuchi says
his recovery is excellent.
[17:05] @Yui
Welcome back.
[17:06] @Yui
How did it go?
[17:07] @Furuya
Everything's fine, I think.
[17:10] @Furuya
They're still limiting the
number of pitches I can throw,
[17:13] _sign
Do you wanna pitch?
[17:13] @Furuya
but they're letting me
rejoin pitching practice.

I see. They say it's easy to re-aggravate
an injury right after you recover.
[17:22] Ono
Don't push yourself.
[17:24] @Furuya
I won't.
[17:25] @Furuya
I intend to keep following the lower body
workout Coach Ochiai made for me.

[17:34] @Yui
Would you please let me catch for you
the next time you're in the bullpen?
[17:39] @Yui
I'll switch out anytime you want me to.
[17:41] @Yui
But I want to try to get
used to your pitches.
[17:47] @Furuya
Yeah, I was going to ask you anyway.
[17:51] @Furuya
We'll have to do it in
a game sooner or later.
[17:55] @Yui
Yes, sir! Thank you!
[17:57] @Furuya
But I won't be throwing tomorrow.
[17:59] Ono
Furuya, let me catch, too.
[18:02] Ono
I want to know what to call,
[18:04] Ono
but I also want to help you
get stronger as a pitcher.
[18:08] Ono
That's how the whole catching staff feels.
[18:16] Ono
And of course, we don't want our streak
to snap while Miyuki's away.
[18:27] @Seto
The upperclassmen are always
swinging a bat somewhere.
[18:31] @Seto
It can be a pain to find enough space.
[18:37] @Seto
How were Furuya-san's pitches?
[18:39] @Seto
Exactly what you expected? Even better?
[18:47] @Okumura
I was scared.
[18:50] @Okumura
And not just by the speed of the ball.
[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.

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.

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.
