The narrator comments on Miyuki's play, saying that he has never seen a player catch a ball so well. Miyuki, he says, is an upper-class man, and he will hit a breaking ball to the opposite field. Akikawa, the pitcher, has already come up with a strategy to counter the pitcher's attack, and Miyuki says that he will follow it. The narrator then comments on the courage of Miyuki to believe in his fielders, saying, "Don't under-estimate me, first year." Miyuki catches the ball, but he still has a ways to go before he can catch a fly ball and hit the base safely. He says that the only thing they can do is to "break his spirit" and eat some meat.
