Chapter 138 The catcher's helplessness(1/2)
On the court, a radio sounded.
"Three sticks, left outfielder, Takayama-kun."
Once there is someone out of the first and second base, it is Ueno High School's turn to play the center line, which is a three-pointer that is strongly beaten.
On the pitcher mound, Yamamoto Shuoya kept flowing with sweat and was adjusting his breathing.
Sweat slid down his cheeks to his neck and gradually wet his collar.
In the first half of this five innings, Ueno's hitters patiently selected the ball, making up their minds to get involved with the pitcher to the end.
In this case, Tetsuo Nishino could no longer control Yamamoto Shuoya's number of balls.
20 goals.
Only one outs were obtained, and two Ueno hitters were allowed to go to base.
The pace of the game changed in vain.
“PalyBall!”
First ball.
Tetsu Nishino made a ball in the good ball area, but Yamamoto Suoya made a missed shot with a very deviation.
Bad balls at high positions on the outside corner.
The ball is far away from the position of Takashi Nishino's gloves, and is one meter long. He needs to get up and move outside the catcher's seat to receive it.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
Ueno's Sanba Takayama turned his head and looked at his own supervisor.
In this game, the high-level balls thrown by Yamamoto Sakuya were too high, including the ball just now, which was high and floating, and it was quite difficult to play.
Is Baishan's arresting using high-level bad balls to fish them out?
It is precisely because of this idea that they chased the low ball to play. Unexpectedly, the low ball was shot by Bai Shan for them, the real decisive ball.
"Stay aiming at the high ball!"
Ueno's Sanba Takayama was still a little puzzled when he received the instructions from the supervisor.
A pitcher with slow ball speed is indeed easier to play with high balls than low balls.
However, today the Baishan pitcher's high-level ball was completely ineffective, and they were all outrageous. They were so shaky that they could not even hit the ball.
No matter what, the tactical instructions of supervision must be followed.
Ueno's three-bar Takayama turned the bat in the strike zone, refocused himself and raised the bat.
The second ball.
call out!
Baseball came straight.
The straight ball at the high position on the outer corner was just looking at the ball path, and it was another bad ball, and the ball was not fast.
128 km.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
The third ball.
After Yamamoto Shuoya got the secret code from Tetsu Nishino, he looked at the runner in the second base behind him, and his right hand hidden in his glove kept turning the baseball.
Then baseball attacked all of a sudden!
Ueno's three-pointer Takayama stared at the ball but did not swing the baton.
"Bang!"
Tetsu Nishino caught the ball at the high position of the outer corner and firmly stabilized the position of the gloves.
Straight ball at the edge of the good ball area.
only.
Today's presiding judges still maintain a consistent range of rulings and are not affected by Tetsu Nishino's small actions.
"Bad ball!"
3 bad balls 0 good balls.
The number of balls is extremely unfavorable to Baishan's capture.
If the next shot is not made into the good goal area, the hitter will be led to the base, which will create a crisis of full base.
The fourth goal.
Yamamoto Shiroya took the risk of throwing the ball into the middle a little more.
It was still a straight ball in the outer corner, but fortunately, Ueno's three sticks did not make a stick, so they got a good number of balls.
"Ueno's hitter...or is he sniping a low post?"
Tetsuya Nishino couldn't figure it out either.
He doesn't know magic, nor does he know how to read minds. He can only rely on the attacker's every move to guess the opponent's intentions.
"Why try the low post?"
Four consecutive goals were all high-level balls, and the hitters did not swing the baton. It seems that their goal is still low-level balls.
3 Bad Balls 1 Next goal after a good ball.
The fifth goal.
Yamamoto Suoya suddenly threw the ball out!
call out!
Ueno's three-stick Takayama saw this ball path and swung his baton decisively!
Swish-
The bat and the ball passed by.
Wave in the air!
"Bang!"
Takashi Nishino received the ball, wiped it on his pants with it, thinking.
The inner corner slider is 2 balls away from the good ball area. When it is received, it almost slid to the ground, but the Ueno hitter still decisively showed his tricks when he sees it.
Sure enough, Ueno's hitters have been chasing the low post.
In other words, the high ball is safe!
3 bad balls 2 good balls.
Full ball count.
Tetsu Nishino matched a straight ball.
"Um!"
On the pitcher mound, Yamamoto Sakuya nodded slightly.
At this time, Ueno's Sanba Takayama was in a state of tension, his eyes were motionless at the pitcher.
Yamamoto Shuoya stepped on the pitching board, stepped forward and pressed forward, and threw the ball out as his arm swung.
call out!
Baseball heads straight to home plate!
only!
The ball did not go towards Tetsu Nishino's gloves, but was too high and too close to the central area!
Swish!
"So fast!"
Tetsu Nishino just stretched out his arm to catch the ball, but Ueno's three sticks Takayama had already swung his baton and slashed out!
"Clang--!!!"
The baseball was hit hard!
Central and outfield!
After hitting the ball, Ueno's three-bar Takayama immediately threw off the bat and started running the base immediately.
This is their best chance to chase points!
"I hit it!!!"
