Major 2nd

Satou Hikaru, the transfer student from the United States, is actually the son of Satou Takuya, the eternal friend and Major League teammate of Daigo's father, Goro.

Daigo, Fujii, and Tashiro all watch Hikaru's first play with bated breath, but he flubs a completely basic fly and then follows up with a huge misthrow.

With his mom suddenly being out of commission, Daigo has no choice but to practice catching fast balls at the batting center.

Daigo is shocked to find out that Hikaru has moved to his mother's hometown in Gunma without any warning.

Daigo is completely demoralized and depressed about his mistake when an unexpected voice makes him look up at the fence.

The Mifune Dolphin's opponent for the second match of the summer tournament will be the Nijigaoka Beatles, whose ace player is exceptionally tall and brings his arcing slow ball to the fight.
