And even though Uchida was great, he could only bring out his true strength when paired with a catcher who was in perfect sync with him.
Dubian Che, this guy who only threw fastballs, and only towards the dead center of the strike zone...made his catcher almost turn into a robot, no, he actually was a robot.
What was the point of such a victory?
But the numbness that still lingered in his left hand...
For the win, for Goda's glory, even if it meant squatting without moving, he was willing!
Everything for Goda! Everything to dominate Koshien!
"Coach, I think he..."
"Dubian! Dubian! Ah—!!!"
Even though Dubian Che wasn't on the field, sitting where the cheerleading team couldn't see him in the coach's box, the field had the ace pitcher Uchida sprinting towards first base, and above him, many people were still calling out the name of Dubian Che.
"...Coach, he only has speed, nothing but speed."
"Hmm."
