A few mutterings came out from the players in the dugout as they thought about his words. But before they could respond, Ken approached Blake.
"Hey man, we need to talk about your pitching…"
Steve suddenly paled, waiting for the inevitable harsh words to come out of Ken's mouth.
"I don't know what you're doing out there, but you need to trust in Steve's leads as a catcher. He and I played together for over a year and a half and won both the State Championship and WWBA National Tournaments together." Ken stated, pointing to Steve's unassuming figure.
'Eh?' Not expecting such a line, Steve felt a little embarrassed. If this was any other time, he'd likely crack a joke to subvert the warm fuzzy feeling he felt on the inside.
Blake however, was silent. He turned to Steve with an obvious dislike, but in the next moment his features softened. "Look, I guess you're right Ken. I'll stop making things hard for him."
