When the white ball had just flown out, the Hosen High School coach felt quite pleased.
Many people believed that Zhang Han being caught out in the fifth inning was due to bad luck. In reality, that was not the case at all. It had been deliberately planned by Hosen High School. They had intentionally guided Zhang Han to hit the ball to the outfield so they could catch him out.
Of course, there had been a small miscalculation during the process. They had not expected Zhang Han to hit the ball that far.
This newcor not only possessed extrely refined hitting technique, but his raw power was also terrifying. In terms of pure strength, he was probably not far behind Hosen High School's third-year slugger.
One had to rember that Zhang Han was only a first-year student, a fifteen-year-old boy.
He already possessed such frightening power at this age. It was difficult to imagine how terrifying his strength would beco after two more years of training, once he grew to seventeen.
The more one thought about it, the more frightening it beca.
The Hosen High School coach, however, did not dwell on these thoughts.
Compared to the future, he cared far more about the present.
Even though Zhang Han clearly had limitless potential and was very likely to grow into a terrifying player in the future, right now he was still just a boy who had entered high school only a few months ago.
To deal with him, it was difficult, but not impossible.
Thus, Hosen chose to use the sa old trick again.
They laid out the exact sa trap as before.
And it was an open trap.
They were not afraid that Zhang Han would avoid it. If he did not swing, the pitch would simply beco a strike and put him in a more passive position.
As expected, Zhang Han, forced into a corner, had no choice but to grit his teeth and swing.
The baseball flew high, soaring toward the outfield.
To the Hosen High School coach, this ball looked exactly the sa as the one from the fifth inning.
What a promising hitter.
He could not help but sigh with emotion.
For four or five consecutive years, Seido High School Baseball Team had failed to make it to Koshien.
Even Baseball Weekly magazines could not resist mocking Seido over this.
After all, they were known as a national powerhouse. While enjoying exposure and glory, they were naturally judged more harshly. Yet even so, the number of players Seido sent to professional drafts each year was still considerable.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
On the professional stage, Seido graduates were still active.
Even recruitnt had not been affected. Talents like Miyuki Kazuya and Zhang Han continued to join without hesitation.
If this continued, Seido High School might experience only a temporary slump.
Their resurgence would simply be a matter of ti.
And now, after a four-year absence, Seido High School had once again returned to Koshien.
"But Koshien is no longer the battlefield it was four years ago. Even Seido High School will not have an easy ti."
Then let Hosen beco that roadblock.
The Hosen High School coach was filled with confidence.
They had already made adjustnts to deal with Zhang Han's power. The outfielders retreated extrely deep, unafraid even if the ball was hit far.
Not only the coach, but the outfielders themselves shared this belief. They positioned themselves deep in the outfield and calmly watched the ball fly toward them.
Fortunately, the coach had reminded them early. Otherwise, if they had tried to retreat at the last mont, they might not have made it in ti.
Now, there should be no problem.
He was certain he would catch this ball.
But just as the outfielder opened his glove, ready to receive it, he was stunned.
The ball showed no sign of dropping.
Instead, it flew directly over his head and slamd heavily into the outfield stands.
How was that possible?
Everyone from Hosen High School froze.
They stared blankly at the flying baseball.
The greater their confidence had been before, the stronger their sense of loss beca now.
Not only the Hosen players, but most of the spectators felt the sa shock.
How did it get hit out?
Didn't that batter feel even the slightest psychological shadow after failing in his previous at-bat?
"The opponent is a first-year newcor!"
"Zhang Han! That kid is really handso."
Zhang Han's image appeared on the big screen.
From the stands, people had only been able to make out his general silhouette. At most, they could tell that he had a good build.
But now, it was completely different.
That striking face was displayed clearly through the big screen, televisions, computers, mobile phones, and tablets.
Tens of millions of viewers stared in disbelief.
Could soone really look like that?
In front of a television, a plump middle-aged woman looked at Zhang Han's image with deep regret.
Such good material, yet instead of becoming a star, he beca a baseball player.
What a pity.
If he were willing to enter the entertainnt industry, his future would surely be limitless. Even if he did not beco a global superstar, he could easily dominate the entire East Asian market.
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, plus China.
That was at least one-third of the world's market.
If he beca famous from there, his future earnings would be unimaginable. Especially since Zhang Han was from China, his developnt there would be incomparably smoother.
In fact, aside from a very small number of female stars, Japanese celebrities generally did not develop well in China.
Yet China was the largest entertainnt market in East Asia. Even Hollywood stars could not compete with Chinese superstars in terms of inco.
Although baseball stars could also cross into celebrity status, and in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan their influence was not inferior to entertainnt stars, China was different.
In China, baseball players simply could not compare to entertainnt celebrities.
Without smooth developnt in China, Zhang Han's comrcial value would be reduced by at least three quarters.
"I have to find a way to talk to him and persuade him to change careers."
The woman secretly made up her mind.
It was not only people already familiar with Zhang Han who were shocked by his performance and appearance.
Many viewers were seeing him for the first ti.
The shock they felt was at least ten tis greater.
They had never imagined such a player would appear on the Koshien field.
This was big news.
A baseball star growing out of Japan, just thinking about it was exciting.
The boys felt relieved.
The girls were even more thrilled.
They never expected such a beautiful young man to be hidden among a group of so-called gorilla players.
It was as if a prince had stepped out of a two-dinsional world.
In that instant, countless young girls felt they had found true love.
Zhang Han beca famous without even trying.
