Girl's got a bigger bat than the boys

Interesting TL notes at the end. Prefer to see them collected there instead of dusted throughout the chapter tbh.

IIRC in the US we had a show back in 2016(?) about the MLB's first female player, who was a pitcher brought it specific role. Don't really recall the details after all this time but I think they replaced her with a pinch hitter the one time she was at bat, since the odds of her getting on base were so low.

I seriously have no idea who you're talking about. I tried googling about it and came up empty

Found it. It was literally called Pitch. Sadly cancelled after just one season.

I really like the TL breakdown at the end LMAO.

Maybe Higuchi can get himself an international prospect contract if he improves that work ethic.

That's pretty neat. Usually this kinda character would be a 1 dimensional antagonist to step over, but there was more nuance than that.

Still bullshit reason only for manga land, but oh well, anything can go by here.
