"Stopping stolen bases wasn't the catcher's achievement alone. It was only with the pitcher's help that they could perform so perfectly!
He really was an outstanding junior who knew how to work closely with his catcher!
Did you train him?" The cold-looking Mima took the initiative to speak after stepping into the Batter's Box.
After this game, coupled with some of his own assumptions, he had begun to take an interest in Miyuki.
"What training?
This guy hasn't even reached his final form yet!
Well! The fact that he hasn't finished growing means...

Focus on the game! Focus on the game!" Thinking that, Miyuki adjusted his mindset, though a warm smile appeared on his face again.
"Come on!!"
"Psh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Smack!"
"Strike!!"
