Debut Game (2)

Upon the jumbo screen, 3 numbers were prominently displayed, showing the speed of the pitch. The crowd cheered wildly seeing the number, their excitement rising another level.

"102mph, to think a rookie could throw that fast at only 21…"

"Didn't he say he would beat the record for the fastest pitch thrown in game?" One of the people in the crowd asked.

"Yeah, he also said that he'll throw a perfect game and the Ligers will qualify for the World Series this season otherwise he'll quit baseball for good."

"HUH!? What the hell kind of balls does that guy have?"

Back on the field, Ken was feeling good about the last pitch. Nothing felt out of order, in fact his pitch felt like it was one of the best he'd done recently.

The very next ball, Daichi called for a slider.

WHOOOOSH

PAH

"Strike."
