It’s the final day of the summer training camp. The batters of the Seido nine are doing all they can to prepare to face top-tier pitchers like Narumiya and Amahisa. That evening, Coach Kataoka starts fielding drills that work the players to the bone. The next day is the drawing to decide which block each school will play in for the summer tournament. What teams will Seido High School be up against?
This way, we won't get our hopes up
and can prepare for the worst.
بهذه الطّريقة، لن نعلّق آمالاً 
.كثيرة وبإمكاننا الاستعداد للأسوأ
Das ist mir lieber,
Así estaremos más preparados
y no nos haremos ilusiones.
Así estaremos más preparados
y no nos haremos ilusiones.
Comme ça, pas d’illusions,
on sera parés au pire.
In questo modo possiamo prepararci al peggio
invece di crearci false speranze.
Desse jeito não vamos criar expectativas,
nos preparamos para o pior.
Так хоть не будем попросту надеяться
 и подготовимся к худшему.
