seido end the game vs nanamori at 5th inning 11-0 with sawamura the starting pitcher, I'm pretty sure the yakushi batters plus rei is better than the batters of seido at that time. So them needing 9th inning to score 11 run and rei conceiding a run is just unrealistic considering their stats.
if the catcher can't catch his full power pitch then he can just throw at around 145 km. Even sanada pitches are over 140 km and the catcher is catching it with ease so I'm pretty sure he will have no problem catching rei pitch at 145 km and that will be enough considering sawamura didn't conceide a run with around 132 km pitches. 13 KM difference will be enough to make up for sawamura's unique form to achieve the same result.
just a passing thought tho was Rei opening the matter of numbers to Sawamura hinting about a faceoff later on?? still, after that fight, i want Rei to win. heheheh. i want seido to regret! also also... this is a what if...Rei opened the gates of switching sides already... can't Sawamura have such thoughts too? since i also don't like how he was treated for so long and always gets disregarded. as if he only can be a pinch pitcher and never the ace.
I had some issues with this story earlier on, like the nerfed Miyuki or subbing out Rei even when he's on a roll. Then it peaked when he still did not become the ace even when he carried the team... so to see him go to another team that would really make use of him, gosh that was a breath of fresh air. this is the sort of fanfic that i want too. make the original MCs regret ever disregarding this oc MC. i want Seido to lose (badly if possible? hahaha) against Yakushi, hope this happens.
