Satou Hikaru, the transfer student from the United States, is actually the son of Satou Takuya, the eternal friend and Major League teammate of Daigo's father, Goro!
Right away, Hikaru asks Daigo about advice for joining a local baseball team, but being Daigo, being completely off-put by baseball, gives Hikaru a rude answer.
That evening, Daigo's mother, Kaoru, receives a request for help from the Dolphins' manager, Fujii: "We don't have enough players for the practice match this weekend, can we borrow Daigo?"
For someone who doesn't want to be 
here, he sure is showing some hustle.
.إنّه يبذل مجهودًا حقًّا بالنسبة لشخص لا يريد أن يكون هنا
Er tut so, als hätte er keine Lust,
strengt sich aber ganz schön an.
Para no haber querido venir,
se está esforzando de verdad.
Para no querer venir,
se está esforzando de verdad.
Monsieur bougonnait,
mais il a l’air motivé.
Per uno che nemmeno voleva giocare, 
si sta dando parecchio da fare.
Para alguém que não quer estar aqui,
ele está se esforçando muito.
Смотри, как старается,
а говорил, что не хочет играть.
