Shun lifted his leg while propelling his entire body forward. The boy planted his right leg firmly on the ground, rotating his whole body toward home plate, channeling all his strength into the ball in his hand as he whipped his arm forward.
WOOSH
Jiro and Sora admired Shun's perfect form, all his movements were fluid and exuded a terrifying aura. At home plate, Daigo focused intently on Shun, and the moment the ball left Shun's hand, he did his best to predict its trajectory.
The ball's speed was fast, but it wasn't as intimidating as Jiro's fastball, for instance. Daigo watched the ball spin wildly and positioned his glove at the top left of the strike zone, but just moments before the ball reached home plate, it slid downward and horizontally.
POFT
"Damn it!" – Daigo yelled in pain when he felt the ball hit his left foot. He couldn't believe that a ball at that speed broke so much right before reaching home plate.
