A smile crept onto Ken's face as he heard his father's next words. Finally, the time had arrived for him to showcase his pitching skills.
"Good luck." Ken held out his fist to Hiroki who flashed him a grin.
"You too Ken, Daichi."
Hiroki sent a cheeky salute his way before wandering off with the other group.
Ken placed his arm around Daichi and whispered.
"This is our chance to impress and make it onto the squad."
Daichi nodded in agreement. Since he wasn't selected in the preliminary squad yesterday, he needed to showcase his talents today otherwise his hopes of competing alongside Ken would be finished.
Once they arrived at the bullpen, the coach turned around and spoke up.
"Alright, looks like we have 5 pitchers and 4 catchers." He said, surveying the group of players in front of him.
