The siren sounded just before the umpire called a start to the game, eliciting a roaring cheer from the crowd. If one wasn't hyper focused, it was possible they could get lost in the sheer noise from the onlookers.
Yatsuo sent a nod to Daichi before starting his wind up.
He brought both of his hands to the center of his chest and almost skipped forward with his left leg before planting it. Due to the minimal movements of the action, it made for a super fast release.
Before Tatsuya knew it, the ball was already on its way to him. It seemed to creep slowly towards the inside of the strike zone, almost baiting him to hit the ball.
'Don't mind if I do!'
He performed his swinging motion, keeping the barrel of the bat behind him until his hands drifted over the plate. As the pitch approached, his eyes widened in the next moment before sending the barrel accelerating towards the ball.
