Daiya really mentions regrets a lot huh,,, like with sanda, amahisa and even nabe. But nabe wasn’t able to excel like they did, but he was still essential to the team in his own way. But he still regretted not being able to be on the first string
I wonder if he wishes he had tried harder, or changed his attitude earlier. He probably has a lot of what-ifs.
Even if he’s one of the main reasons the team got so far, I feel like he wishes he could’ve helped them through playing

And then we have jun who did absolutely everything he could and they still failed...... pain
Nabe was really conflicted about his feelings... like amahisa just up and left but nabe was unsure. He felt like he didn’t deserve to be there, because he kept comparing himself. But he never fell out of love with baseball. He just didn’t feel good enough
Maybe he wanted someone to encourage him. His friends felt the same as him, so it wasn’t really a motivator. But if someone dragged him to extra practice and motivated him, maybe things would’ve been different. Maybe he would’ve developed a different attitude
But when he’s surrounded by players that are amazing, it’s hard. For the third years, they all sucked. And they worked their ass off to be as good as they were. But nabe’s year didn’t have that. Kuramochi was naturally fast and miyuki was a genius
It would be easier to compare himself to them. To ask himself why he wasn’t that good. Why he didn’t have natural strengths and skills.
Sure, kataoka says the team grows together. But what about the ones that are struggling to keep up? The third years had clawed their way up. They were strong. What about the weaker ones? Was he just going to expect all of them to work as hard as the third years?
That environment probably won’t happen again. So the players that don’t naturally excel are going to have a really hard time when the other players in their year seem to be naturals
It’s a recurring issue that we’re also starting to see with the new first years. Will asada get to improve? Or will he also not find motivation? What about yui? Who may or may not have to give up on being a catcher? Will he be like jun? He doesn’t suck at catching tho
But maybe he’ll look at okumura, and wonder why catching isn’t as natural for him. Maybe he’ll resign himself to not being a catcher and then fall out of love with baseball. Who knows
Hell, even sawamura would’ve been tossed aside if he didn’t have the desire. Compared to furuya, barely anyone was willing to look at him or help him out. He had to practically beg. And nabe isn’t like that. If you’re not a genius, you have to do everything to prove your worth
Many thoughts, head full
Hoping miyuki learns from his experience with nabe and doesn’t just tell the younger players to quit if they’re struggling to feel motivated. Hope yui doesn’t get the same treatment if he asks for advice
