Extra Training

The rest of the training went very well. Since they still didn't know who their opponent in the first round of the tournament would be, there was no way for them to prepare for anything specific. Because of this, Coach Yamada decided to work on the fundamentals and try to keep the players' physical conditioning in good shape.

In the bullpen, Shun made sure that Jiro and Sora maintained their normal training routines. Both of them already had a good arsenal, and as long as they could control the ball well and follow Daigo's calls, they should be able to hold their ground against any team in the Kanto tournament. Because of this, Shun didn't want the two pitchers to try creating anything new or overdoing their training with less than a week left before the tournament.
