  • Miyuki gets quite a few but the way he predicted the catchers throughts when he was at bat against Akikawa stands out. Not only did he figure out what they agreed on but he also hit the ball and left a shell shocked Shunshin behind. He's not called a genius for nothing.
    • Several coaches have called him being the team's starting catcher "unfair" because of his overall skills
    • Rei came to watch a match between his and Chris's teams during middle school because she wanted to scout Chris. The moment she saw Miyuki in action she thought he was a third year ready to scout and immediately tried to bring him to Seido instead of Chris. He was a first year at the time.
    • He also makes some split second decisions that leave people stunned. In Seido's first game against Yakushi alone he switches from the standard seated position to a crouch while one of Furuya's splitters is coming his way because he realized in less than a second he wouldn't be able to stop Akiba stealing second base otherwise or when Tanba's curve goes wide and he puts his right hand out to catch it so quickly Mishima can only stare in shock.
    • Once the third years retire and he starts batting cleanup his skills develop incredibly fast and make him one of the most feared batters in the series. His game ending home run against Seiko leaves Mine and Owada staring open-mouthed and even gives Ochiai goosebumps. And he pulls this off while severely injured
    • His pick off time at Koshien is a smashing 1.83 seconds. That's the time it takes him to catch, stand up and throw to second base. Less than two seconds.
  • Anytime Eijun shines on the mound. Anytime. For pete's sake, he have a success rate during crucial times at games. This sunshine boy deserves all the recognition he gets.
  • Eijun learning breaking ball overnight. He learned Yakushi's Sanada's cutter and two-seam just by watching him pitch it for god's sake. Just how much a monster he is compared to Furuya? Bigger than expected.
