Bunts, stealing bases, and other tricks define the Nijigaoka Beatles' playstyle, also known as small ball.
The Dolphins lose 2 points from the get go as their opponents exploit the weak bond between Urabe and Daigo, as it's their first time being a battery.
On top of that, the Beatles' ace player Tamaki throws ultra slow balls, which make hits hard, but even when a hit is made, their defense easily takes care of that.
Daigo puts his brain into overdrive trying to somehow figure out some pattern in their defense lineup, but will he find anything?
That's why we practiced
hitting pitches at half speed.

Das Wurftraining war
bei halber Geschwindigkeit.
La práctica

La práctica fue a la mitad
de la velocidad.

à l’échauffement.

O treino de arremessos foi
na metade da velocidade.
Так что мы тренировались
на половинной скорости.
