"Why is the outfielder pitching now? Wasn't he a batter?" Jorge asked, his brow furrowed.
After seeing Ken bat earlier in the match, he had assumed that the guy was a batter and should have no business on the mound. In the United States, 2-way players were something that they almost never saw.
This was especially the case when one got to this level of competition.
Most coach's recommended players to focus on one or the other, perfecting the skill that they were best at in order to not waste any time or effort.
In essence this made quite a lot of sense. If one were to place all their time and effort into one aspect of their game, they would progress at a far faster rate.
For some reason, Jorge had a bad feeling about this.
The whole Cuban dugout watched on as Ken threw some warm up pitches, uncertainty in their expressions. They knew about Satoshi since he'd been part of the U18 team before, but Ken was an unknown.
