In order to not allow Seiwa to utilize their frightening mobility with base steals and bunt, Daigo and team do drills to teach their pitcher Mutsuko how to do pick-off attempts of runners.
The next day, after having done their due diligence, Daigo and team go into their second game. Even though Daigo predicted that Seiwa would not recklessly attack from the beginning, Seiwa's top batter suddenly leaves the base. They immediately try to shake Fuurin's battery. While catcher Anita fiercely tries to get Mutsuko back into shape, eventually even she loses her cool...
You're not a catcher if your mind's not
always on defense and game-calling.
.لن تكوني ماسكة إن لم تفكري في الدفاع واتخاذ القرارات دائمًا
Wenn man nicht ständig an Verteidigung
und Spielführung denkt,
No puedes ser catcher
si no te preocupas
No puedes ser catcher
si no te preocupas
Pour être une bonne receveuse,
il faut toujours penser
Non puoi fare il ricevitore se non ti preoccupi
continuamente della difesa e delle chiamate.
Não dá para ser receptor
Кетчеры выходят только из тех, кто
постоянно думает о защите и расстоянии.
