Clockwork.The match between Seidou and Puplic Murata East ends with Seidou getting another called game, 10-0 after 5 innings. Seidou sticks around to watch the next game and sees Akikawa Academy's Shunshin Yeung and his clockwork control. Yeung pitches mostly to the outside corners, and his rotation of the spots makes it hard for batters to predict where it will be. Seidou begins planning immediately to combat it. Scouts and magazine writers head to Seidou to watch Furuya pitch. However Miyuki realizes Furuya's body isn't used to Tokyo's heat after coming down from Hokkaido and limits him to 10 pitches. Everyone that sticks around gets to watch Sawamura work on his inside control with Kanemaru in the batting circle. The next day the reporters head to Akikawa where they are shocked to see Yeung is the pitcher for the practice sessions. They also see the pitching machine turned up full throttle so Akikawa's players can get used to seeing the speed with their eyes, even if they can't hit it.
