Hikaru says he wants to be a pitcher because "it looks fun". Despite his terrible grip and form, his brutally fast balls are something to be reckoned with! After appointing Daigo his training partner, Hikaru casually suggests that the two of them form a battery.
Daigo refuses the idea as impossible, based on his arm being weak. However, his sister Izumi points out that his personality and knowledge of baseball would actually make him a good catcher.
She was his catching practice 
partner, so she got really good.
كانت تمسك له الكرات في التمرين، لهذا
.أصبحت جيّدة في ذلك
Mit dem hat sie von klein auf gespielt
und ist so gut geworden.
Fue su compañera de práctica
desde entonces y se hizo muy buena.
Siempre fue su compañera de práctica
y eso la hizo mejorar.
et elle s’est améliorée
en l’aidant à s’entraîner.
E lei gli ha fatto da ricevitrice fin da piccola, 
così è diventata molto brava.
E ela foi parceira de treino dele
por muito tempo, então ficou boa.
И она долгое время
помогала ему тренироваться.
