Ep. 57: Coach Katoka orders batters to ignore change-ups as Seido rallies with underclassmen support.

Seido’s players struggle to read Narumiya’s pitches, prompting Coach Katoka to devise a risky strategy. He instructs his hitters to disregard the change-up entirely. The team’s comeback begins with contributions from the underclassmen. Furuya reaches base, allowing Eijun to advance him to second. Kuramochi then gets on, setting the stage for Ryosuke to bat. Inashiro’s defense adjusts to the threat, but the opposing team is stunned when Ryousuke requests a pinch hitter instead of following the coach’s plan. This unexpected move shifts the momentum of the game as Seido continues its offensive push against the opposing pitcher’s confusing arsenal.
