After a grueling training session on the baseball field, Ken Sato walks into the training facility's recovery room. The air is filled with the chill of refrigerated ice baths, a stark contrast to the heat and intensity of the field. Ken approaches one of the large, metal tubs filled with icy water, its surface shimmering with frost.

Ken takes a deep breath, steeling himself for the cold. He slowly lowers himself into the tub, the ice water immediately enveloping his muscular frame.
