In most teams, the pitcher's batting ability is generally weaker, and they are usually arranged to bat 9th.
However, Kanzaki Ryou is different; his batting ability is evident to all.
When Coach Kataoka was still hesitating about his batting order, Kanzaki Ryou proactively suggested batting 9th.
When asked for the reason, Kanzaki Ryou explained his reasoning.
Compared to him, Kominato Ryosuke is undoubtedly more suitable for the 2nd batting position…
Walking at the front of the team, Kanzaki Ryou stepped onto the field, and a thunderous roar immediately erupted from the stands.
"Seidou! Victory!"
"Kanzaki! Ace!"
Everyone took their positions one by one, and Kanzaki Ryou raised his hand high on the mound.
A few seconds later, as his fist dropped, the entire stadium fell silent.
(Feels like Atsumu Miya When Serving)
His summer had begun.
Top of the first inning — Omori High bats first.
Tanaka Wataru gave the signal for an outside low fastball.
Kanzaki Ryou nodded and delivered a 150 km/h heater.
The batter froze—strike!
Three Strikes later, the leadoff batter struck out.
The second batter followed the same fate.
Before long, Kanzaki Ryou and Tanaka Wataru retired Omori High three up, three down.
Back in the dugout, Kanzaki Ryou took the water handed to him by Miyuki.
"Senpai, it's up to you guys now."
Bottom of the first — Seidou on offense.
Omori High's Ace, Amano Yamato, took the mound.
Shida Shota narrowed his eyes at the first pitch.
So slow.
After training against Kanzaki Ryou's 150 km/h fastballs, anything under 140 km/h felt like slow motion.
