1 Chapter 1: Shohei Ohtani!!!!
Qingdao High School.
Inside the baseball field.
A group of newly recruited members lined up in two columns, waiting for the head coach's inspection with serious expressions.
After about a minute.
Head coach Kataoka Teshin brought a group of second and third grade members, like marching on the battlefield, with amazing momentum.
All the freshmen raised their heads and raised their chests instantly, wanting to show their best mental outlook.
...
in the crowd.
There is a person who is out of line with everyone's behavior.
Asad khan
His looks are great!
It's like a noble boy who came out of a comic!
Simple training clothes, he just wears a unique charm!
If you are walking on the school road.
It will definitely attract the attention of countless girls!
Asad listened to the self-introduction of the head coach Kataoka Teshin, "I am the head coach Kataoka, now, let's take turns to introduce myself", his face was full of disbelief.
"I...crossed?"
"And... still traveled to the world of Diamond Ace??"
Thought so far.
A bit of bitterness appeared on Asad's face.
It's not that I hate crossing.
After all, he was alone in his previous life.
And Diamond Ace was one of his favorite animes in previous world
He didn't know much about baseball but love the anime.
so.
Like countless fans of Ace of Diamonds.
I once fantasized about entering the world of Diamond Ace and becoming a member of Qingdo High School.
but...
He's never touched baseball...

Asad took a look at the new students who were being introduced.

World-class experience of baseball.
Like a stream, it entered Asad's mind gently!
Shohei Ohtani (大谷 翔平, Ōtani Shōhei, born July 5, 1994),
nicknamed "Shotime", is a Japanese professional baseball pitcher and designated hitter for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB).
He previously played for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball's (NPB) Pacific League.
Widely acclaimed for his skill in both pitching and batting, he has been compared to two-way players such as Babe Ruth and Bullet Rogan,
although such comparisons draw debate given the difference in era and overall ability of modern players.
Considered early on as an elite two-way player, Ohtani was the first pick of the Fighters in the 2012 draft.
He played in NPB for the Fighters from 2013 through 2017 as a pitcher and an outfielder, and won the 2016 Japan Series with them. The Fighters posted Ohtani to MLB after the 2017 season, and he signed with the Angels, soon winning the 2018 American League (AL) Rookie of the Year Award.
Following an injury-plagued 2019 and 2020, Ohtani would go on to have a 2021 season widely considered to be historic, as he became the first in the history of MLB with 10+ home runs and 20+ stolen bases as a hitter and 100+ strikeouts and 10+ pitching appearances as a pitcher in the same season while also holding at least a share of the major league lead in home runs in 14 starts.
Because of his elite contributions both offensively and as a pitcher, a rarity for two-way players, Ohtani's peak is widely considered among the greatest in baseball history,
with some considering him to be the greatest baseball player of all time. For his efforts, he was awarded the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player Award.
He followed this in 2022 by becoming the first player in the modern era to qualify for both the hitting and pitching leaderboards in one season, reaching the thresholds of 3.1 plate appearances and one inning pitched per game with 586 at bats and 166 innings pitched.
Internationally, Ohtani represented Japan in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, winning the MVP Award for the tournament following Team Japan's victory over Team USA.
The final game was one of the most-watched baseball games in history, culminating with Ohtani striking out Angels teammate and Team USA captain Mike Trout on a full count, securing a 3–2 win with two outs in the top of the 9th inning.
Pitching:
Ohtani is a 6-foot-4-inch (1.93 m),
210-pound (95 kg) right-handed starting pitcher.
With an overhand delivery,
he throws a four-seam fastball averaging 97 miles per hour (156 km/h)[ topping out at 102.5 mph (165 km/h),
an 86–93-mile-per-hour (138–150 km/h) forkball/split-finger fastball with late diving action,
an occasional curveball, and a solid slider at 85–91 miles per hour (137–146 km/h).
He posted a walks per nine innings rate of 3.3 across his NPB career.
Ohtani has been compared to Justin Verlander by some MLB scouts with his ability and affinity to throwing harder in high-leverage spots and later in games.
Whereas most pitchers throw only a little harder in big spots than they do in normal ones and most pitchers lose speed as the game goes on, Ohtani, like Verlander, is able to reserve power and staying power in order to conserve energy without throwing max effort on every offering.
Batting and fielding
Ohtani is a left-handed batter. He is a designated hitter and often considered a power hitter capable of leading the league in home runs.
Ohtani also demonstrates elite baserunner skills, with a sprint speed and feet-first sliding technique allowing him to have been a league leader in stolen bases, bunt hits and infield-hit rate.
Scouts have timed Ohtani running from the batter's box to first base in as little as 3.8 seconds.
For the 2021 season, his 28.8 feet per second (19.6 mph) sprint speed ranked in the 92nd percentile of all players, as did his 3.51 second 80-foot splitand he also recorded the fastest home to first average sprint time in the Majors at 4.09 seconds. while recording a career-high 26 stolen bases.
Ohtani is occasionally an outfielder for the Angels, demonstrating an even deeper defensive skillset as a fielder, in addition to recording several tag-outs and catches as a pitcher.
Asad head was buzzing wow !!!
"In the original."
"Xiaogu Xiao, who is famous all over the country."
"Even if it's the summer of the second year of high school."
"The fastest ball speed is only 156 km/h."
"And I, though less powerful than Aroldis."
"But ohtani skills and experience have allowed me to throw a high-speed straight ball at a speed of over 156 km/h!"
"That is to say!"
"My current strength of fast ball is stronger than that of Xiao Gu Xiao in the second year of high school in the original novel!"
And overall he is strongest player. Did I came here to bully these highschoolers
thought here.
Excited light flashed in Asad eyes
With golden fingers.
It means getting the capital to fight the whole country!
at the same time!
It also made him strong enough to fight with masters from all walks of life!
...
"Kanemaru Shinji, from Songfang Junior Club, the position I want to defend is third base, please take care of me."
Hearing this introduction, Asad regained his senses.
Because the next one is him.
And just as he was about to introduce.
Eijun Sawamura, the protagonist of the original novel who was late because he overslept, was running over at a very fast speed.
Obviously, he wanted to sneak into the new student queue while Kataoka Tiexin was looking at Asad.
But the black-bellied Miyuki Kazuya.
Hiding in the corner of the wall, he shouted loudly, "Ah!! Someone was not only late, but also tried to sneak into the team!"
Sawamura Eijun: "!!!!!!"
His whole body froze.
Agree to sneak into the queue together.
The result was unexpected!
He was actually betrayed by the black-bellied senior!
And Miyuki also.
While everyone's attention was on Sawamura Eijun.
Unknowingly, he ran to the second and third grade queue.
But Asad knows.
Miyuki Kazuya's whereabouts.
Already discovered by Kataoka Teshin.
the other side.
Sawamura Eijun was sweating nervously.
He faltered to explain to the head coach.
"that..."
"I am...this is..."
And right now.
He noticed Miyuki Kazuya, who had already sneaked into the second and third graders.
Immediately surprised!
"When did he get in?"
"and many more!"
"Is he taking me as bait?"
After realizing this.
Sawamura Eijun's heart was full of resentment.
He believed in Miyuki Kazuya so much, but...
However.
Before Sawamura could question Miyuki.
The head coach, Kataoka, had already walked in front of Sawamura.
"Boy!"
"You're late on the first day, how dare you!"
heard.
Sawamura Eijun's expression froze.
The resentment in my heart was instantly replaced by anxiety,
There was more and more cold sweat on his forehead.
"Uh..."
Sawamura swallowed.
He felt something bad was going to happen.
Head coach Kataoka looked at Sawamura with hatred and said, "Also, I want to sneak in!"
"Your face is too thick!"
Speaking of which.
Kataoka took a deep breath, and then roared: "Run for me until the end of the morning exercise!"
The unease in Sawamura Eijun's heart instantly became a reality.
To know.
Qingdo High School is a baseball giant.
Morning exercise time is a full half an hour.
Even adults.
Running for half an hour will collapse.
Not to mention Eijun Sawamura, who is still a freshman in high school.
so.
Sawamura at this time.
There is a feeling that the whole world has lost its color.
"It's obviously a high school life full of hope, how did it become like this from the beginning?!!"
When Sawamura Eijun felt that his life was dark, the voice of the head coach Kataoka sounded again.
"And the two seniors who share the dormitory with this guy!"
"And the big bastard who came in and hid in the team while the chaos came in, you should also run!"
As soon as this word comes out.
The three seniors (Yoichi Kuramochi, Toru Masuko, and Kazuya Miyuki) who were still gloating just now were all shocked.
Especially Kuramochi Yoichi.
He regretted not getting Sawamura Eijun out of bed.
Of course.
The root cause of regret.
Or he was punished by the head coach.
If not punished...
Not only will he not regret it, he will be very proud of it!
