Sawamura has demonstrated his remarkable growth during the practice games, and people have taken notice, especially his outstanding performance in the Hakuryu game. His pitching has inspired Furuya, too. In the second-string game, Furuya's pitching showed meaningful progress. His emotions transfer into the ball.
But I don't want to be second best 
when I'm on the mound.
لكن لا أريد أن أكون ثاني أفضل عندما أقف
على التلّة
Aber auch ich
Pero si subo al montículo,
no quiero perder contra nadie.
Pero si subo al montículo,
no quiero perder contra nadie.
Mais moi aussi,
Detto questo, quando salgo in pedana
non voglio essere secondo a nessuno.
Mas eu não quero ser o
segundo melhor no monte.
Однако я не собираюсь
уступать горку кому-либо.
