“ball.“
Chris stood up and threw the ball back to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound, then squatted down again, looked at the batter in front of him who was holding the bat with one hand and swinging it vigorously, and then made gestures with his fingers under his body, toward the pitcher's mound.
The Jinguji senior showed his secret code.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Faced with Jinguji's low pitch in the inside corner, the batter Ohara Shinpei thought that the pitcher's swing was a bad ball and was not ready to swing the bat to strike. The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was just hit.

"Crack!"
First baseman Tetsuya Yuuki stretched out his arm to catch the baseball thrown by Fukuda-senpai, and batter Shinpei Ohara stepped on the first base bag almost at the same time.
