Goro ignores his father's counsel and chooses to keep training with the goal of becoming a professional pitcher. At the same time, Honda receives a visit from his former teammate and friend, Shigeno. Shigeno points out that Honda's genuine strengths lie in pitching rather than batting. He emphasizes that Honda must make the final decision himself regarding his path. Honda needs to determine whether to continue his baseball career as a batter or to quit the sport entirely and pursue a new job opportunity.
