He's not worthy (1)

"No pitching for two months…"

Ken muttered to himself on the way home from the train station, his mind wandering.

He had approached Coach Hanada in order to find a resolution for his poor pitching, but he didn't think the guy would give him such a stipulation.

There was only 6 months remaining until the system finished its upgrade, which meant he'll only have 4 months remaining once he could pitch again.

'How can I get back to my form by not pitching?' He thought inwardly.

While he might not understand this part of the coach's reasoning, Ken agreed that he needed to strengthen his body considerably. In addition to the shoulder strengthening exercises he'd been given, the coach also told him to focus on his legs and core.

Power was derived from a strong base, therefore he needed to ensure his foundation was firm.

Ken was silent for a while before he pulled his phone out and began to type a message.
