Chapter 85: The Batter's Creed!

Superintendent Kataoka glanced at Yano, alarm bells ringing in his mind.

Some things can be done, but absolutely cannot be said. Especially with his identity, it is impossible to talk nonsense. As a coach of a high school baseball team, he has to be polite and cautious in speaking and doing things.

Right now, it is not a good choice to be a maniac with a mouth full of meteors.

Doing so has no benefits other than adding more pressure on your own players.

"Our goal, of course, is to win the next game! And this goal will never change."

After Coach Kataoka finished speaking, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

After pondering for a while, they understood what Coach Kataoka meant.

Bullshit, really bullshit!

He said the same thing but changed the wording of it, making it sound a lot better immediately.

What does it mean to win the next game? Isn't it the same purpose?

Doesn't it mean that Seidou High School will focus on winning until the end?

If right now, Coach Kataoka, as the coach of Seidou High School, said that he would win the National Championship, then he would be declaring war on all the other teams!

Although Coach Kataoka has the confidence to win the championship, on the field of baseball games, anything can happen.

If Seidou High School makes a mistake, will Coach Kataoka still be confident? if he says such words, How much pressure will this put on his students?

This sentence is easy to say, but it is not easy to take it back.

As the coach of the team, it is even more important to keep this in mind. Any time he speaks, he should be careful with his words and not run his mouth unnecessarily.

This is a particularly important thing.

Coach Ochiai looked at Kataoka with appreciation.

'As expected of a teacher who teaches the Japanese language, he can word his sentences carefully because of the skill in teaching.'

The reporters in the audience could be considered to have grasped the intention of Coach Kataoka. Right now, they can only let Kataoka go after a brief Q&A session.

Yano laughed and said two more jokes, and then he invited Coach Kataoka aside and then announced the next person from Seidou High School.

Although it is a live broadcast now. Before that, the organizers made a lot of careful preparations. They made individual presentations for all the high-profile players of Seidou High School.

"Let's ask Superintendent Kataoka to take a break on the sidelines, and then let's give the opportunity to the players from Seidou High School. The first to appear is, of course, the Captain and first baseman!"

According to the organizer's request, a total of five players from Seidou High School are to be introduced individually.

One of the two most important positions, one is the first, and the other is the last. The first one is naturally Yuuki Tetsuya the Captain.

In the process of forming the stage, many wonderful footage appeared on the LCD screen behind him.

Most of these are scenes of him hitting the ball over and over again, and the last scene is a well-timed 3-pointer just in the game against Seihou.

After all the footage was played, his data was immediately listed on the side.

On Base Rate: 73 %.

Batting Average: 53 %.

Defense: 89 %.

"Oh my!" someone in the audience said.

You never know the full extent of things until you see the data. The resulting data is jaw-dropping.

His own batting average is not particularly high, but his hit rate is surprisingly high. When most pitchers face him, they basically walk him.

"A batter who makes Koshien's pitchers terrified to face him head-on!"

This conclusion shocked all the reporters.

Even if it was the previous Monster Slugger Sano Shuzo, he couldn't be the same as Yuuki, with a walk rate of nearly 40%.

"Awesome!"

"Originally, it was just data, and not enough people paid enough attention. Now, it seems that Seidou High School is indeed hiding a very amazing Batter…"

"Just looking at this data, The attack level of Yuuki in the strike zone might even surpass Sano Shuzo."

"I heard that there are already several professional baseball teams that have extended an invitation to the Yuuki-kun."

"If he wants to be invited in the draft, there will be another trend!"

"His predecessor, Azuma Kiyokuni, was drawn by the fourth overall pick. If Yuuki can also participate in the draft, he will surpass his predecessors."

"It's hard to say, after all, each team has different requirements."

On the stage, the reporters talked a lot.

Through their action, it is not difficult to see that the Yuuki is about to become popular.

In subsequent media reports, they will definitely make a big splash, and another talented Batter will appear.

In fact, just through this live broadcast, the name of the young Captain has already started to spread.

The first three opponents of Seidou High School were no herbivores or chicken teams, all of them were tyrants and strong teams.

There are two of them, who once won the championship of Koshien in the last three years.

In the face of such an opponent, the data played by the players of Seidou High School is definitely of high gold content.

Yuuki Tetsuya!

He is destined to take a completely different path from before Sawamura returns to the past.

"Leader!"

Sawamura, who was on the side, stared blankly at Yuuki on the stage.

He really appreciates the Captain Yuuki very much. In his return to the past, unlike his younger brother, Tetsu-san did not enter professional baseball.

He only played a little in college, but he did not pursue a higher stage.

In Sawamura's view, it is a very big regret for the baseball world.

He was looking forward to seeing this Senpai of his in the professional stage and even in the MLB, he was sure that he would make a great mark on the stage.

When Sawamura heard the news, he was already in MLB, barely out of his dark two years, and he couldn't get much of the details.

It was a regret that he couldn't do anything about it.

Hope this life will be different!

"How do Yuuki-kun usually practice their swing?"

Yano is still very qualified as a host.

The question he raised is the focus of all the people who enjoy High-Quality-Popcorn™.

The most dazzling performance of Yuuki lies in his batting.

Of course, the audience wants to know, how do you usually practice your swing?

"From the first day I entered Seidou High School, I made up my mind to practice swinging at least 500 times a day, 300 times at school, and 200 times at home."

What a simple person the captain is, everyone has sincerely asked for advice, and of course, the captain spared no effort to promote his 'Creed'.

Five hundred swings a day!

This answer shocked everyone except the Seidou High School players.

You must know that the human body has its limits. Excessive training will not only fail to increase strength but may even damage the body.

Like Yuuki, he practiced 500 swings a day and he did not cripple himself. It is really the blessing of Heaven.

Yano was barely able to keep his composure right now.

He really wanted to grab the Yuuki collar and ask, are you really human?
