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 some relaxed pitching
 from such a big youngster.
.يا لها من رمية ضعيفة من شاب ضخم
Der ist ziemlich groß,
wirft dafür aber sehr ruhig.
Son lanzamientos muy relajados
para un niño tan grande.
Son lanzamientos muy relajados
para un niño tan grande.
Il a beau être grand,
il lance des balles lentes.
Per essere un ragazzone così, lancia davvero lento.
Mas que bolas relaxadas para
uma criança tão grande.
Такой здоровый, а подавать
толком не умеет.
