Chapter 56
“Th-Thank you!”
Cha Sihwan jumped to his feet, his face lighting up at the chance to pitch an at-bat.
His heart pounded like mad. How long had he waited for a chance like this?
Calm down… If you get too excited, it’s over.
He steadied his breathing, picturing his grandmother waiting for him in their small home. But as he tried to focus, his coach’s words echoed in his head, clouding his thoughts.
“Good, keep that arm angle. See? Your speed increased after listening to me.”
If he ignored the coach’s instructions and pitched his usual way but failed to impress, it would be over for him. Not only would his first-team call-up remain a dream, but his second-team career might get even tougher—or worse, he could face being cut.
Logic dictated he should pitch as instructed to preserve his future.
