The situation on the field: 1 out, bases loaded—Waseda Jitsugyo's offensive continues.
In the player's area near third base, Chukyo University's coach Ohtake Toshiyuki is still hesitating: the game has just begun, but Asano Fumuya's performance has fluctuated significantly, which is clearly beyond his expectations; facing a bases-loaded one-out situation, should he change the pitcher now?
Changing the pitcher, although he has confidence in his ace Moriyama Junpei, even he might not be able to retreat unscathed in this situation; and changing the pitcher before the first inning is completed is nothing short of shameful for the current pitcher, Asano Fumuya.
But if he doesn't change, and Waseda Jitsugyo's lineup hits another big shot, the price to pay would be unacceptable for Chukyo University.
