Lin Guanglai, he's on the move!
This time it's not the usual provocation or testing; it's an all-out sprint. In the broadcast footage, those long legs unleash a terrifying speed that belies his frame. Lin Guanglai's massive body transforms into an arrow shot from the bow, heading straight for second base.
In the catcher's seat, Orix's ace catcher Ito Mitsuo rises almost at the same moment he receives the ball, swiftly sending it toward second base with a seamless motion.
However, Lin Guanglai's explosive start and long strides gave him too big of an advantage. Even though Ito Mitsuo reacted quickly, he still couldn't prevent Lin Guanglai from sliding into second base just before the Orix shortstop could tag him out.
"Safe!" Once again, the arms extend outward to signal safety, but this time it's the second base umpire making the call.
