Episode Title:
Batting First.
Episode Description:
Sawamura practices with Okumura and showcases his iconic 'Numbers'. It is revealed that depending on his grip, Sawamura is able to throw various types of pitches. Throughout all the grips Miyuki and Sawamura tested during off-season, they labelled numbers to the grips that were consisted enough. Sawamura pitches number 7: cut ball kai and shocks the first years. (Although he doesn't pitch all the grips, presumably, Sawamura is able to pitch seven different grips).
