"Nice hit Yusuke!"
The ball was smacked into the outfield from a well-timed strike by Yusuke, eliciting a bunch of cheers from the Yokohama dugout.
Although he had been overshadowed by Hiroki and Ken last year, his batting sense had improved tremendously. This paired with his lightning fast legs, made him a big part of the Yokohama offense now.
He stood upon 2nd base and flashed a thumbs up to the team. It felt good to get on base in the first inning, especially against such a dangerous pitcher like Kazuhiro.
"Guess it's my turn now." Shiro muttered, sauntering his way to the batters box.
After gaining some height and putting on some muscle, he was not bad to look at. The confidence in his step and determined expression made him look rather heroic.
"Woohoo! Go Shiro~"
His number 1 fan Kaori shouted from the dugout, wearing a bright smile.
Shiro turned around, flipping his hair to the side before sending a wink her way.
