The chapter opens with a discussion of Miyuki's performance in the first game of the season. Miyuki is a good player, but he's not a great one. He's a bad asshole, and Miyuki can't do anything about it. He thinks that Miyuki needs to step up and be a leader for the team. The chapter ends with Miyuki saying that he doesn't care what the other team thinks about him. He just wants to win the game. Mimaki says that he'll go after Miyuki and make him a leader. The next thing Miyuki says is that the team needs to keep Miyuki in the dugout. He says that the only way to do that is to keep him in the game, because Miyuki has to keep the team in it, too. He also says that if Miyuki wants to be a good leader, he needs to play the whole nine innings.
