Chapter 105: Back on the Mound (1)

Yuta let out a whistle of appreciation as he saw the ball sail into the right outfield and out of the grounds for a home run. His amicable face was now turned up in a smile, feeling a touch of excitement.

"Looks like we got a monster first year." He murmured, turning his gaze to the person in question leisurely making his way around the bases.

"Nice hit Kouhai." Makoto on third base commented, holding out his hand for a hi-5 as Ken went past.

"Thanks Captain."

Ken slapped his hand on the way past and headed towards home plate with a grin. He could tell that with one swing of his bat that he had gained the attention of the first team players.

He didn't bother looking at Akira who was probably seething on the mound right now. As long as he did well enough pitching, he should be able to secure the Ace pitching position right away since Akira was a terrible hitter and sat at 9th in the batting order.
