"The starting lineup for tomorrow's preseason match against the Seibu Lions is as follows..."
"On the pitching side, Guanglai pitched well in the last half inning yesterday, so you'll be the starting pitcher tomorrow..."
As soon as Manager Koji Akiyama finished speaking, the players instantly erupted into excitement:
"Ohhhhhhh——!!!"
"Amazing, Guanglai, starting in the preseason opener as a high school player!"
Lin Guanglai's rapport within the SoftBank Team is quite good: As the youngest player in the team's first squad, the seniors naturally took great care of him, coupled with his diligent training and talent that was almost overflowing and visible to all. In the professional baseball world that emphasizes strength, it's hard for anyone not to like a player like him.
Upon hearing Manager Akiyama's arrangement for Lin Guanglai to start pitching, the seniors gathered around him, each extending a hand to rub his head as a gesture of care.
