Furuya got lucky I guess. But any national level team/coach/player/batter will see the records of this game and see that his fastballs are mostly balls. While he will become better, to the point he can at least throw more strikes then balls, it will be similar to canon I guess. Sawamura mentioned he seemed to be stronger then he should be, but also not by too much. Sawamura has all the experience from his past life, plus his now middle school life. He knows what to train, how to train and so on. Furuya in terms of training/personality and so on is still like canon.
