"If some hitters weren't strong enough, then even if they wanted to play first base and had practiced for it, Coach Kunimoto would probably put them somewhere else!
After all, there were only so many good spots like that, and they had to be saved for those who needed them!
Like priority seats on a bus for the elderly when no one else was sitting there!"

"Now you understand!
No matter what, I'm a power hitter!
If it weren't for a monster like you, I'd be the cleanup hitter!
