始まりを告げる声
沸き上がるスタンドの歓声
この白いボールを手に
今夜もまた新たなドラマが生まれる

夢　追いかけた
夏の青い空に誓った
未来のエースになることを

さあ、みんなの熱きおもいを
この腕に乗せて今
まっすぐに　勝利を信じて

白熱の投手戦
腕を振る先に
ほとばしる　熱き汗
打たれても　胸を張れ
最後まで闘う姿を　見せてやる

この日のために　チケットを握りしめ
楽しみにして来た　人達のために

さあ、みんなの夢や希望を
この腕に乗せて今
まっすぐに　勝利を見つめて

ただひたすらに　走り続けてきた
人生という名の　マウンドを目指し

さあ、みんなのおもいを胸に
これからも投げ続ける
まっすぐに　己を信じて

The game is announced
The roar of the stadium
With this white ball in hand
A new drama is born tonight

Chasing the dream
Sworn to the blue summer sky
Be the best pitcher (in the future)

The fever of everyone
Is on this arm
Straight forward Believe in victory

Competition between the pitchers heats up
Before your throwing arm
The splash of hot sweat
Be proud even with a hit
Show a fighting stance down to the end

People came, clutching their tickets,
looking forward to this day
For those who came today

Holding our dreams and hopes
in your hand today,
Straight forward Believe in victory

Just keep running
Heading for the mound called life

Everyone’s wishes are on your heart
Just keep throwing
Straight forward Believe in yourself
