Chapter 159: The Pitcher
Strike out at the air.
As the pioneer, Tetsu Nishino was hit out for the first time in this summer's mattress.
"So amazing!"
After Nishino Tetsuya swung his baton, he bit his tongue helplessly and walked down the strike zone with the bat.
The pitcher made the ball faster when the ball was shot. Takashi Nishino thought it was a straight ball, but when the ball entered the home plate, it suddenly fell and avoided the bat.
While taking off his strike helmet, Nishino walked towards the waiting area.
"How about that ball?"
Nikawa Kyotaro Ichikawa stopped swinging the baton and asked, putting it on his shoulder.
"Senior Ichikawa must be careful, it's hard to judge the ball." Tetsu Nishino said.
“It’s hard to judge?”
"The ball speed and the ball path are a bit like a straight ball, but when entering the base, it is a bit like a finger-propelled ball, but the drop is not as large as the finger-propelled ball."
Kyotaro Ichikawa thought for a while, searched for the relevant words in his mind, and said, "Isn't it a quick finger-to-point ball?"
"Well...it should be."
Tetsuo Nishino immediately thought of this ball type.
Ichikawa Kyotaro grinned, "That would be uncomfortable..."
When a tactical meeting was held before, Baishan's players had imagined the type of ball for a wild pitcher, and believed that Yoshihiro Okara might use a straight ball with a finger-to-slide ball.
But in actual sight of the game, they still find it difficult.
Thinking of it, I can't beat it.
Moreover, Yoshiki Okaran strikes out Nishino Tetsu's ball, which is even more difficult to deal with, and they are afraid they will be in big trouble.
Quick finger-to-point ball.
The ball path is mostly low, and its speed is closer to the straight ball, so as to attract the hitter to use the stick in the way of facing the straight ball, so that the hitter cannot grasp the sudden drop and swing the ball.
Originally, they were very embarrassed to deal with Yoshi Okarasu's straight ball, but now the attacker of Wanye still uses a quick finger-tip ball to lure them into a blank swing.
Too uncomfortable.
After striking out a baton from Nishino Tetsuki, Okabayashi Yuki and catcher Watanabe looked at each other, and Watanabe passed the ball back to him.
Yoshi Okarani took two steps down the pitching mound due to the pitching action, and then walked up after receiving the ball.
He faced the infield and the outfield and made a "first-out" gesture.
"After all, I didn't waste my time."
If Baishan players think that Wanye High School will look down on them, it would be a big mistake.
In fact, the managers and player coaches of Wanye High School did not do less analysis than Baishan's, or even more.
Among the several threatening fighters in Shiratsuyama, Tetsuki Nishino, Hiroki Tsuki and Ito Nakao were the ones they focused on.
Especially Tetsu Nishino, after getting on the base, Baishan's efficiency in scoring points increased sharply.
These data are disclosed in the College Ball League. Even if Fengye High School does not send anyone to investigate Baishan's game, you can still know it.
Since you have seen the effect of a stick in playing the line, the players in Wanye High School will definitely not be too arrogant.
When discussing the ball matching, Wanye put a lot of effort into the capture, and each ball matching was carefully considered.
Sensory point of view, all the first four goals thrown to Tetsu Nishino were straight, but the purpose of each goal was different.
Pulling between the inner and outer corners.
Scheduling of high and low positions.
The test of ball selection and strike.
After making full preparations, Yoshihiro Okaran made the final decisive goal and knocked out Tetsu Nishino with a quick finger-tick ball.
Moreover, the final decisive ball was still hanging from the corner of the good ball area, and it was also a good ball if you didn't play.
With the result of 3 good goals, Tetsu Nishino was eliminated.
It can be said that unless Tetsu Nishino has the strength to carry it out, with the last goal, the capture of Shino High School is 70% or 80% sure to win his number of eliminates.
Wanye's catcher Watanabe, facing Baishan's first hitter, showed his strength as a famous catcher.
The stadium prompt broadcast rang.
"The second stick, the backbone, Ichikawa Jun."
Ichikawa Kyotaro stood in the strike zone, lowered his head and thought for a while, his expression becoming more solemn than before.
If he was struck by one shot, he would have to go up to the base with the second shot to create scoring opportunities for subsequent hitters.
After a few goals.
"Clang!"
Kyotaro Ichikawa once again pulled the inner corner kick out of bounds and got an outbound ball that did not change the number of balls.
2 bad balls 2 good balls.
After fighting all the way, Kaoro and Ichikawa Kyotaro beat 5 goals, and they also discovered the difficulty of Shiratsuyama's second stick.
Behind the plate.
Seeing Kyotaro Ichikawa holding the bat carefully, the catcher Watanabe thought quickly and finally decided to match the ball and played the ball type code.
However, Yoshi Okaran on the pitcher mound shook his head.
"reject."
The pitcher also has the right to deny the catcher's ball.
Watanabe then changed his secret codes continuously before getting Okara Yuki nodded on one ball.
He pressed his center of gravity between his feet, and his squat was very stable and he put his gloves on.
2 bad balls 2 good balls once they are out.
In the next goal, Yoshihiro Okaran threw the ball to the home base.
call out!
The baseball runs toward the low post of the outer corner.
Ichikawa Kyotaro stepped on the white line in the strike zone, which was also considered a response to the suppression of the pitcher.
He stared at the coming baseball and watched the ball enter the glove.
"Bang!"
Ichikawa Kyotaro chose the right choice.
The quick finger-tip ball did not fool him into swinging the baton, nor did it fall into the good ball area.
"Bad ball!"
The presiding judge stood up from his bowing posture and made "2" and "3" gestures.
3 bad balls 2 good balls.
This time the table has reached the most intense stage.
“It’s very accurate!”
"Bad ball!"
"Stay steady!"
In Baishan's rest seat, his teammates would shout loudly on almost every goal.
In high school baseball games, if there are fewer spectators, the court is very noisy because the players never stop shouting to cheer in the rest seat.
The restless baseball boys, every ball touched their hearts, and of course they had to shout out.
After Ichikawa Kyotaro chose this bad ball, he also looked at the rest seat and nodded.
On the pitcher mound.
Yoshino's pitcher Yoshiki Okarachi was a little unhappy.
"Just a bad ball."
He took the baseball, looked at it with the ball, shrugged his shoulders with his lips, and prepared to pitch again.
The next shot was shot, but it completely deviated from the position the catcher wanted.
"Bang!"
Catcher Watanabe's left hand stretched out to the left, and he received the ball and did not cause a violent shot, but he definitely couldn't score in the good goal area.
"Bad ball!"
"Four bad balls!"
"The hitter will be taken!"
Kyotaro Ichikawa successfully selected four bad balls to base, put down the bat, and ran to the first base bag.
In the first game, Yoshihiro Okara couldn't hold back and bent down to sort out his socks.
"A real man!"
Catcher Watanabe shouted
He was signaled not to care too much. It was normal to shoot four bad balls if he didn't get up.
"Uh-huh."
Yoshi Okara nodded, took the talc powder in his hand, and waited for the next hitter in Baishan.
Chapter completed!
