Lin Guanglai didn't rush into the batter's box; instead, he stopped just a step away from it and began to think about his next strategy.
In his mind, the pre-game information he gathered started to flash back continuously: Kawamata Angi, right-handed pitcher and batter, with a fastest pitch speed of 141 km/h, skilled in sliders, curves, and forkballs—his pitching habit mainly revolves around fastballs, but one must also beware of his forkballs, which have a significant downward break.
The gaze of 50,000 people at the stadium, along with hundreds of thousands watching on television, was now focused on Lin Guanglai—top of the ninth inning, two outs, runners on first and third. His next at-bat would determine the outcome of the entire game, and even the direction of this Summer甲 tournament.
After reviewing his opponent's information once more in his mind, Lin Guanglai stepped forward, placing himself firmly within the batter's box.
