Chapter 124 Potential
July 16th, the day before the second round of war.
afternoon.
White Mountain High School Baseball Stadium.
"Tap!" The baseball hit the ground and bounced towards the home plate.
Takashi Nishino pressed down with his chest, and the baseball hit the protective gear and landed on the ground in front of Takashi Nishino, which was within the control of the catcher.
Then Takashi Nishino quickly stepped forward skillfully, picked up the ball and passed it to the first base.
"Bang!"
"The hitter is out!"
Supervisor Totoku said loudly.
During this afternoon's training period, Tetsuo Nishino and his fielders were conducting bans and blocking training. The current training content is bans training for home base smashing the earth.
During the game, the pitcher mishandled the ball and suddenly threw some balls that hit the ground directly.
No matter how fast Tetsu Nishino reacts, he can't control the ball as soon as possible. He can only block the ball in front of the home plate in the first move.
In the rules, if the baseball does not fall directly into the gloves, the hitter can run even if he strikes up. In this case, either a strike or a ban can be used to officially get the number of exits.
This situation is easy to cause platoon errors, and if you are not careful, you will give the opponent a free throw.
Therefore, the catcher must make a first reaction, and the stadium must also respond well, and there must be no surprise in the garrison.
"I'm going to pitch." The one who feeds the ball to the pitcher mound was Yamamoto Shuoya.
Other players took turns to the strike zone to simulate a free swing or watching in the case of two good balls.
According to the training content, Yamamoto Shuoya wants to make a missed shot, which is nothing to his possession.
The players in the strike zone are also very serious and will start running bases by seizing the opportunity. This can not only train the team's garage, but also train the fighters' ability to respond to undead strikeouts.
Every team has mistakes, and Baishan can also be used for free, so it is still necessary to practice.
Yamamoto Shuoya threw the ball in front of Tetsu Nishino, and the baseball hit the ground in front of the home plate.
"despair!"
The ball almost bounced against the ground. Takashi Nishino knelt down and used gloves to block the gap between his thighs before stopping the ball.
"I'll do it, no problem!"
Tetsu Nishino stopped Yamamoto Shuoya, who wanted to help with the pitcher, quickly stepped forward and picked up the ball and passed it to the first base.
"Bang!"
"The hitter is out!"
Usually after someone is on the base, the pitcher cannot see the runner behind him on the pitching mound, so it is better for the catcher to handle this kind of 50-5 ball.
There is a difference between people on the base and no one on the base.
Combined with the ban training, the more complex anti-theft and ban training will be conducted later.
During the game, many of the pitchers' missed shots and the fielder's back passes of home plates were hit on the mud in front of the home plate and then quickly bounced towards the catcher.
The rebound ball has a very fast speed and the direction after the rebound is not certain. Runners on the base bag often see this opportunity to steal the base.
This situation puts extremely high requirements on the catcher's reaction nerve, instantaneous decision-making ability, and blocking and killing pass speed.
Supervisor Totokuji shouted loudly: "Okay, do it again and then take a break!"
"Oh, come on, pass the ball to the base bag!" The wildlings were shocked and shouted that they would let the ball come and pass it.
The last time was a missed training for double-killing. There were people at first base and the number of balls was 2.
"despair!"
The baseball was so outrageous that it hit the ball, and after rebounding, it hit the protective gear and fell in front of Tetsu Nishino.
"Dadadada—"
After a swing, the hitter immediately dropped the bat and started running towards first base. At the same time, the runner at first base forced the base to get into the base and rushed to second base at full speed.
In this situation, the catcher either passes to the second base and blocks the runners or passes to the first base and blocks the hitters.
Choose one of two.
But Tetsu Nishino did not follow the rules.
The moment the hitter who was hitting the left started running, Takashi Nishino quickly stepped forward and picked up the ball. While getting up, his body was ready to pass the ball. He took a small step back with his right foot, using the power of his waist and shoulders.
Pass the ball out quickly!
call out!
Baseball came to the air accurately over second base!
"Bang!"
Runners are out!
The shortstop who came to fill up the position caught the ball and blocked the runner's post, and then passed the baseball in his hand to first base.
"Bang!"
The first baseman received the pass and blocked the hitter who was still on the running line.
The hitter is out!
Double kill!
The fielders on the baseball field were all frightened by their wonderful guards. They usually had to choose one of them and actually made a double kill!
“Wow, oh, oh, oh!”
“So beautiful!”
"This guard cooperation is OK!"
“Nice!”
The third-grade stamina praised themselves with a smile, and at the same time they admired the younger generation, Takashi Nishino and praised him even more.
"Xiaozhe passed the second base too fast!"
"This is a strong shoulder!"
"Just rely on this trick alone, Xiaozhe has the potential to play professional baseball!"
"Xiaozhe, I'm optimistic about you. I'll be forgotten to invite us to watch the football!"
"Yes, yes, remember Xiaozhe, hahaha--"
Tetsu Nishino couldn't stand the praise from his seniors. He was too good at blowing, and he could blow like this even once the pass was too much.
He was just a freshman first-year catcher in high school baseball.
"No, it's all the seniors who cooperate well."
This is Nishino Tetsuya's real idea. If it weren't for the fact that several seniors who worked in the second game often practiced some cooperation with him, no matter how many ideas he had, it wouldn't be able to implement them.
Just like the double kill training just now.
If the second game cannot arrive in time, then Nishino Tetsuki's quick pass will become a violent pass that rolls directly into the outfield, or the second game's pass is a little slower and the hitter can safely reach first base.
The stadium's guard is really important to the catcher.
Vice captain Takashi Iwada came over and patted Takashi Nishino on the shoulder, "If you are with your opponent, don't think of climbing!"
"Haha, Xiaozhe, do you want to give you a domineering nickname? How about the Baishan Cannon?"
Senior Iwata, who used to be serious about these first-grade juniors, also started to joke with him, and Takashi Nishino was so amused and crying.
"Senior Iwata, don't want it..."
Besides, this nickname is too second-class. Tetsu Nishino felt ashamed just thinking about it, let alone being called out by others.
"If you don't have nicknames or something, just don't have it..."
"Really, I've thought about it a few times. Why don't you change it?"
“…”
The captain Hiroki Tsuji smiled when he saw this scene.
In the game, Tetsu Nishino performed very well. In the eyes of some passers-by, Tetsu Nishino, who was the first-year player, was the best among the players in the White Mountain.
The performance of the catcher on the court is usually not very eye-catching, and the role of guidance and ball matching is not obvious to ordinary people.
Compared with the pitcher's pitching suppresses the hitter and the fielder's beautiful skills, the catcher is indeed a position that is difficult to perform well.
However, during the game, many spectators who attended the game found a first-year player from Baishan suddenly appeared in their sight.
4 blocking and killing were successful in a single game!
In that game, Takashi Nishino blocked Yokoshi Nan High School's stolen bases four times, completely defeating the opponent's offense.
Baishan High School's garrison mistakes were given to the opponent's base, and they were all taken back by Nishino Tetsuya's precise and perfect kill.
The data of successful four blocking and killings in a single game also broke the defensive record of the first-grade catcher in the third major conference.
"Genius Catcher!"
Chapter completed!
