There were a lot of eyes on Ken every since he made his debut in the league for a number of reasons. First of all, breaking the record for the most strikeouts in his debut match had been a surprise for many, but it came with mixed reviews.
Many believed that Ken was simply too arrogant. His claims on media day still followed him around to this day, tarnishing peoples perception of him.
When he had broken the record for the fastest pitch speed, it caused a frenzy. Countless articles came out, questioning whether Ken would be able to complete his outrageous claims of throwing a perfect game and qualifying for the world series this season.
This brought many over to his side. Seeing that the rookie was so competent, some believed that it was only a matter of time before he managed to throw a perfect game.
However, this was before Ken began to work with Tom House. The rumors quickly flew around about his new pitching coach, that he was the reason why Ken had regressed as a pitcher.
