Chapter 564: Batting (2)

Ken planted his lead leg, twisting his body and generating immense torque as he began his swing. His eyes were transfixed on the ball, his entire being focused on sending it on its way.

WHOOOOSH

DOOOONG!

The metallic sound of the bat hitting the ball echoed throughout the field, sounding like someone had belted a Chinese gong with all their might. The ball sailed into the outfield, right over where the right fielder would be.

It didn't take long for everyone to understand that one of them would have to go

The ball flew out, its trajectory spot on. Although it was accurate, Ken could see the course with ease, almost as if there was a trail through the air.

From first glance, the fastball was about 85mph. While it was a decent speed, it was nowhere near the peak that he'd experienced back in Japan, let alone the tricky bombs that Ryan would throw.

Ken twisted his body once more, keeping his wrists relaxed. Since he already knew it was an inside ball, the rest was history. To him, the result was already a foregone conclusion.

WHOOOOOSH

DOOONG

Once again, the ball was sent into the air, this time into the left outfield. Much like the previous ball, it found itself over the fence, waiting to be found by the unfortunate soul tasked with collecting them later.

Steve stared blankly at the ball go over the fence and couldn't help but wear a wry smile.

'I guess he's not as nice as I first thought…' He said inwardly.

However, his mischievous smile returned shortly after. It made sense why Ken would go for broke, after all, he didn't care about the team politics. It was clear that he was here for one thing… To play baseball and win.

After seeing what he was capable of, Steve felt that it wouldn't be impossible for the guy to turn pro as early as next year. Of course he couldn't say first hand, but it was just a feeling.

Instead of jumping for joy like last time, Coach Wyatt quietly walked over to the mound and patted Brett on the shoulder, whispering some words into his ear.

Meanwhile, Ken nodded inwardly, happy with his performance. Now that he had secured his position on the team, he only wanted to one thing…

'I want to see my status window…' He complained inwardly.
