The first three innings of the game have already ended. Lin Guanglai only used 21 pitches to handle Rakuten Team's entire batting lineup. Describing this level of efficiency as merely "high" is clearly insufficient—it's downright terrifying!
After celebrating and encouraging each other with his teammates from the batting lineup, Lin Guanglai returned to his seat on the bench, took the towel and water handed to him by the pitching coach beside him, and began to rest promptly.
Looking at just the numbers of pitches, it might seem like Lin Guanglai pitched these three half-innings quite easily. But if one were to think Rakuten Team's batters are lacking in strength because of this, that would be somewhat arrogant.
