Ken once again stayed back after practice to work on his form with Coach Hanada. He was told to repeat the same actions as yesterday, until the coach was satisfied with his movements.
It took around 20 minutes until Ken was consistently able to perform the action, after which Seiji nodded in satisfaction.
"We'll now focus on the next aspects of your pitching form. Now that you're properly performing your wind up and stride, you need to work on arm acceleration, deceleration and follow through." He explained.
Ken nodded, stepping down since he expected the coach to take the mound.
"Nope, I want you to pitch like you normally would using your new wind up and stride." Seiji said with a grin, throwing him a baseball.
"Oh… Okay." Ken replied, not expecting the green light to pitch so soon.
