Shoto VS Seiryu (3)

"Be honest with me, is there something wrong with my pitches?" - Kaito asked his catcher directly as soon as the catcher reached the mound, surprising both the catcher and the other infielders gathered there.

"As far as I can tell, your pitches are great, honestly... I have no idea how that guy managed to send it into the stands..." - The catcher replied honestly, clearly referring to Ren's recent home run.

"I see. If my pitches are fine, then there's nothing more I can do. You guys can head back, let's keep playing." - Kaito said in a serious tone. The players gathered on the mound could feel the determination in his voice, and they returned to their positions without question. After all, Kaito was their ace. With everything he had done for them, they couldn't help but trust that Kaito would recover and regain control of the game.
