Diamond No Ace: The Strongest Hitter Has Arrived

According to the analysis and information from more objective media outlets, Seido High School Baseball Team is a team with a very unique style.

Firstly, in terms of offense, they truly live up to their reputation as the strongest lineup in the nation; their offensive power is indeed second to none.

Secondly, their seemingly strong pitching staff actually has many problems.

Ace Koichiro Tanba, although he pitched very well in the last game, his later issues have not changed.

Once his pitching count reaches a certain level, his stamina will collapse first.

Furthermore, his condition tends to become unstable when there are runners on base.

You cannot deny that Koichiro Tanba is a very skilled pitcher.

But you also have to admit that placing him in the Ace position for Seido High School Baseball Team is inappropriate.

His skill might not quite match.

As for the remaining second-year pitcher, Kawakami, in an ordinary baseball team, he would definitely be considered a high-level pitcher.

Whether it's his control or breaking ball, his command is very precise.

Such a pitcher is extremely rare in any baseball team.

However, one weakness is also obvious and impossible to ignore.

That is his skill!

No matter how much you praise him, you cannot deny that his skill is not strong enough.

For opponents who pose a real threat to Seido High School Baseball Team, Kawakami probably won't be able to pitch.

It's not that his pitching is completely useless against those opponents; the key is a lack of confidence.

You have to know that in high-level games like this, one mistake can very likely decide the outcome of the game.

Next up is the super rookie Furuya Satoru, who has just emerged from the freshmen.

As long as one isn't blind, they can basically see the brilliant light emanating from him.

He is a true Ace prospect, no matter what opinions or prejudices people had about Seido High School Baseball Team before.

No one can deny that he is indeed a very good candidate for Ace.

Just give him a little time, just a little time.

With a bit of polishing, he will be a solid Ace, a promising talent capable of leading the baseball team to Koshien and even dominating the nation.

Everyone might have focused on the latter part of the statement, but don't overlook the premise at the beginning.

Time!

As for Furuya Satoru at this stage, although he has extraordinary potential and a very high-level fastball, he probably poses no great threat to Seido High School Baseball Team's opponents.

Initially, the Shonan Gakuen players were just intimidated by him, which gave him a strong start, allowing him to record six consecutive strikeouts.

If you re-examine it, you'll find that his pitching is even difficult to get into the strike zone.

Not to mention that while his fastball is very strong, once it's aimed at, it's not absolutely unhittable.

There's still some bias here; the reporter himself didn't really think the Shonan Gakuen batters were up to par in skill.

He only truly recognized Aoki and Kurokawa.

This is also why he acknowledged Seido High School Baseball Team's offensive power as unmatched in the world.

In his opinion, aside from not being in form early on, Aoki's performance in the later stages was absolutely superb.

Seido High School Baseball Team was able to blow out such a pitcher, and that was without much prior information.

This offensive power is simply astonishing!

Conversely, Seido High School Baseball Team's pitchers, facing a lineup composed of some second-year players, actually gave up seven runs.

Although there was a super expert like Kurokawa involved, giving up so many runs is still inexcusable.

That's why he began to question Seido High School Baseball Team's pitching staff.

In his opinion, only one person in Seido High School Baseball Team truly qualifies as a top-tier Ace: Zhang Han.

Although Zhang Han's own pitching also has the weakness of lacking distinct features, his speed is fast!

Pitching is like that; as long as the ball speed is fast enough that the bat can't catch up, it's invincible.

Zhang Han is invincible.

But at the same time, the reporter also raised his concern: Seido High School Baseball Team's attitude was too strange.

Why didn't they let such a reliable Ace pitch?

Also, Zhang Han performed so brilliantly before, but then he was out for several months due to injury and didn't pitch.

The outside world originally didn't know this; it was Zhang Han's personal fan club that obtained the news through some means.

So, based on this information, the reporter analyzed that Zhang Han's pitching must have some limitations.

One is that his injury might not have fully healed.

The other might be that the doctor gave Coach Kataoka some advice.

The Seido High School Baseball Team companions were furious when they saw this reporter's analysis.

Was the reporter's analysis wrong?

It seems it really wasn't.

In fact, the reporter's analysis was very reasonable; although he didn't know the truth of the matter, his analysis was basically not far from the facts.

But precisely because of this, he touched upon the deepest worries and biggest sore spot in the hearts of all Seido High School Baseball Team players.

"We must win the next game, no matter what, and win big!"

The Seido High School Baseball Team companions had already made up their minds before the game even started.

They were determined to prove their skill with their actions and give those people a good slap in the face.

They actually said that for them to win the championship, they needed luck and even a miracle.

What is a miracle?

It's a miracle when an ordinary person spends two dollars on a lottery ticket and suddenly wins twenty billion.

How can it be considered a miracle for them to reach the finals and win the Kanto Tournament?

It should be considered normal operation.

"Let the Kanto Tournament be an appetizer before the Summer Koshien begins."

Manager Ota's mood was also excited as he watched the excited students around him.

However, amidst the excitement, there was still a hint of worry.

During the Spring Tournament, Seido High School Baseball Team had a tough match against Ichidaisan Third High School.

In this Kanto Tournament, they would again have to go all out, playing consecutive games against strong teams.

Seido High School Baseball Team's information and data were probably already thoroughly scrutinized by those people.

Would this really not affect the baseball team when the Summer Tournament begins?

Not to mention, among them were Seido High School Baseball Team's biggest rivals, Ichidaisan Third High School and Inashiro Industrial.

They were their sworn enemies in the same district.

In fact, not only Manager Ota had this concern, but Ochiai also felt uneasy facing Coach Kataoka, who liked to act on his own.

Although Coach Kataoka successfully led the baseball team to victory in the last game, in Ochiai's view, his coaching style was still too emotional.

He completely placed the hope of the baseball team's victory or defeat on trusting the players.

Is such an approach really reliable?

Although there are indeed many star players in Seido High School Baseball Team who can lead the baseball team forward with their skill and influence, it can't work every time, can it?

In such an atmosphere, two days later, Seido High School Baseball Team's Kanto Tournament quarter-final game officially began.
