Standing on the pitcher's mound, Lin Guanglai rubbed the baseball in his hand with his knuckles—the rough texture of the ball's leather and the clear red stitching were familiar to him.
After confirming the signal with Uesugi Yasuyuki who was squatting and catching behind home plate, Lin Guanglai began his pre-game pitching practice.
The baseball was pitched from his hand, flying along a perfect arc to land precisely in Uesugi Yasuyuki's catcher's mitt, with a loud cracking sound.
After repeating this four times, when Lin Guanglai sent the ball to home plate for the fifth time, the already prepared Uesugi Yasuyuki received the ball, and with a quick step, sent the baseball towards second base.
Matsunaga Kenta, who came to assist, accurately caught the ball and sent the glove towards the second base bag.
