Miya was silent for a moment as if she was choosing her next words carefully.
"I think we still have a good chance of competing against this team. While they have Ryan, we have a similar threat with Ken on the mound."
Hearing his name called, Ken's ears perked up.
"Wasn't Ken playing in the outfield against South Korea? Do you think that Coach Takashi doesn't trust him? Or maybe he thinks that he lacks experience." The anchor asked.
"Have you thought that maybe he's saving Ken to use in the big games?" Miya responded, her tone hiding some sass.
Ken rather enjoyed the back and forth between Miya and the anchor. He felt vindicated when she would defend him, despite only meeting her two times in the past.
"Man, they seem tough to beat." Daichi said, feeling a little intimidated by the match.
