4. Recap of Chapter 257

Chapter 257, titled “Brace Yourself,” starts with Sawamura’s teammates talking about how he has been acting all weird recently.

Since his performance is not affected, they find it hard to believe that he is going through something serious. They approach him and try to talk to him regarding what’s troubling him. 

On the other hand, Sawamura speaks utter nonsense by mentioning how the universe continues to expand as they speak and that time will keep going, not waiting for anyone.

His teammates just take him for being tired and are about to force him to sleep. Just then, Furuya enters and tells Sawamura that Miyuki wants to have a chat with him.

Meanwhile, the coach asks some of his players if everything is fine with them both mentally and physically, to which they respond that they are fine and cannot wait to play.

Sawamura goes to see Miyuki. Miyuki is explaining different strategies to them and stating which to use at what point of the game. 

He then asks Sawamura, who is sulking in the corner of the room, as to what’s wrong. Sawamura kind of has an outburst and states that his focus is not the upcoming game but the Koushien Finals as he just wants to play more games with the team.  

Sawamura then rushes out of the room. As he is leaving, he tells Miyuki to brace himself for the pitches he plans on throwing in the upcoming game as every pitch will be more than his 100%.

The chapter ends with the Inajitsu coaching staff stating how it would be stupid for anyone to underestimate them as they are out here trying to redeem themselves and will not make a single mistake.
