It seems that Koh simply asked if he could lie just to make himself worthy of earning Aoba's affection first, or maybe fulfilling Wakaba's dream before he acted on his feelings.
The way the 160km ball was never recorded, how Mishima couldn't even swing his bat because of the speed, and how the umpire mistook it for a ball because of how fast it was all came together beautifully when the last batter was not even considered as a threat anymore. It really sums up Koh's path towards the Koshien. Only a select few could see his real talent, while the majority always saw him as the underdog when in fact he was a monster all along.
