Shun watched the first Aoba batter walking toward the batter's box and felt the adrenaline rushing through his body. He knew it wouldn't be easy facing Aoba's batters for the second time, but he wasn't afraid, much less worried, he was excited for the challenge.
Shun lifted his right leg as he propelled his body forward. He stepped firmly on the ground, twisting his entire body and whipping his arm toward home plate.

"Ball!"
"Tch!" - Shun observed as the first Aoba batter stayed motionless. He was sure that was a good pitch, but it didn't matter much since the batter didn't seem like he planned to swing.
Shun kept pitching.

"Ball!"
PAH
"Strike!"
PAH
"Ball!"
"Tch! Is this guy not going to swing?" - Shun muttered irritably. None of his pitches had been bad, but since they didn't land in the zone, it was useless, as the batter seemed unwilling to swing at anything.
