Unaware of the scouts talking about him, Ken just completed his warm up throws and sent a thumbs up to the umpire.
The guy gestured for the lead-off batter to come up, and clapped his hands.
"Play ball."
The first batter was an athletic looking teen whose brown hair could be seen sticking out of his helmet. He was around 6'1 and seemed to be the speedy type, much like Riku whom he'd played with in the U18 team.
Thinking of Riku, Ken's mind began to wander. 'I wonder what that guy is doing these days.' He thought, reminiscing.
However, Ken shook his head, he needed to pay attention.
'Wait, I haven't used showdown yet. Maybe I should try now?'
After having pitched in 2 games yesterday, there was no point where he felt the need to use showdown. Even with his regular pitches, no one could touch the seams of the ball.
[Would user like to activate Showdown on opposition player: Troy Knight?]
'Yes please.' Ken responded politely.
