Chapter 161 Inner Corner(1/2)
"So amazing."
Takashi Nishino thought, after putting on the protective gear, he went out and walked onto the field.
The outstanding performance of Nishino High School's capture just now really surprised Tetsuo Nishino.
In the first half of the inning, Yoshio Gonlin shot nearly 20 goals, but only 2 of them were changed, and the rest were straight.
Watanabe, a catcher from Shino High School, taught a lesson to Tetsu Nishino.
If you only use straight balls and guide them ingeniously, you can also suppress the hitter.
Facing Bai Shan's four-bar hitters, Yoshi Okara made all the straight shots, and in the end he directly used a straight ball outside the corner to strike out the hitter, and the suppression force was undoubtedly revealed.
In fact, Yoshi Okarasu's style of referee is the best, especially for high school students.
When professional baseball teams inspect high school players, they generally like to focus on Benge pitchers.
In high school, judging a player's professional potential is to observe the player's physical fitness and ball speed.
Professional teams are not optimistic about those players who are not tall and have long relied on ball control and changing balls.
Because of this kind of physically unscrupulous player, the breeding rate is really too low.
In high school, they can still rely on ball control and change balls to become the Ace of the school baseball department. If they really put it on the professional baseball field, almost no one can withstand the strong blow of professional hitters.
Body and ball speed.
The simplest and most intuitive indicator to judge a pitcher.
The strong shots from famous families like Yoshio Okara are basically aiming at professions.
In high school, the body is still in its growth period, and over-reliance on changing balls and controlling the ball is consuming the pitcher's body.
However, for ordinary public schools like Baishan, players originally regard baseball as a hobby and simply strive for their dreams.
If you don’t have physical fitness, you can’t let others play basketball?
Don’t worry about it for now. Baishan’s players graduate after playing high school games, looking for a job and going to school.
There are not necessarily opportunities to continue playing baseball, so you cannot ask them for the goals of those strong school players.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
After Baishan's players came on the court, they warmed up with passes and balls and trial shots.
Because baseball is a turn-based sport, players have a lot of rest during the offense and defense of the game, so they have to warm up frequently after playing so that their bodies don’t get cold.
The stadium broadcast began to introduce Baishan’s garrison players.
"Pitcher, Iwata-kun."
"Catcher, Nishino-kun."
"First baseman, Amoriko."
"Second baseman,..."
While the broadcast in the venue was ringing, the live broadcast commentary was also introducing to the audience.
"The catcher of Baishan is a first-year Tetsu Nishino. He also played as a starter in the first two games. I just saw him playing a baton on the line."
Because it is rare for first-grade catchers to appear in competitions in succession, commentator Shunsuke Watanabe looked at the information in his hand and said a few more words.
Some viewers were surprised by Tetsu Nishino's identity as a first-year student, but when they thought about it carefully, they felt it was quite reasonable.
Baishan High School is a team that has been defeated all year round, and it is nothing strange that the first-year student is the first to be the first starter.
If a first-year catcher or ace pitcher appears in Kyono High School, that's the news.
On the catcher's seat.
When the radio was chanting the name, Takashi Nishino stood up, took off his helmet, bowed slightly to the stadium, and recited silently in his heart.
"God of Baseball, please support us!"
After the warm-up time ends, the broadcaster on the court begins to report the attacker's information.
"In the second half of the inning, the attacker of Wanye High School, the hitter on the court was a hit, a hitter..."
After the hitter from Wanye reached the strike zone, the referee signaled to start pitching.
“PalyBall!”
First ball.
Takashi Iwada shook his hand and threw the ball out!
The hitter from Shino calmly let the ball go and watched the baseball enter Nishino Tetsu's gloves behind.
"Bad ball!"
A straight ball with a high position on the outer corner, outside the good ball area.
The second ball.
Takashi Iwada swung his arm and threw the ball!
call out!
The man who hit the ball in the wild pause stopped and held back and did not make a stick.
"Bang!"
Tetsu Nishino received this straight ball at the high position outside the good ball area, almost the same position just now.
"Bad ball!"
Although he threw two bad balls, Iwada Takashi knew that his expression had not changed, so he still threw the ball out according to Tetsu Nishino's secret code.
call out!
It's still a straight ball, but the base position is very different from the first two balls.
Inner angle!
The hitter of the wild one thought the ball would be very close to the body, and took a small step back in confusion.
"Bang!"
Tetsu Nishino, wearing a catcher glove in his left hand, steadily received a straight ball from the edge of the good ball area.
"nice shot!"
The referee clenched his fist and shouted.
2 bad 1 good.
The three consecutive balls were straight, and the hitter just watched the ball enter the glove without swinging the baton.
The ball speed is between 130 and 135 kilometers.
But Takashi Iwada did not deliberately control the speed. This 130-kilometer straight shot was his highest record so far in this conference.
"Have you finished reading?"
Throwing the ball up to Takashi Iwada, Takashi Nishino looked at the hitter who had been selecting the ball and thought.
After just now, he was equipped with a straight ball that was very close to the hitter's inner corner, the next ball, Takashi Nishino continued to approach the hitter's position, and even half of his body was behind the hitter's feet.
This posture is a corner kick at a glance.
"Uh-huh!"
Iwada Takashi nodded with his lips, stepped on the pitching board with his legs raised and his arms swinging posture remained consistent with the front.
Baseball came out!
call out!
“In the good ball area!”
2 Bad balls 1 Good balls, the hitter of the wild balls felt that he could play well, so he swung the bat.
Swish-
The metal bat and the ball meet almost on the same plane, but are not the same.
"Sliding ball?!"
The hitter of Wanye's shot may have been a change ball and was ready to play a change ball, but unexpectedly, the ball was in the base position.
Even if the ball slipped down, it was still taller than his bat.
"Bang!"
Tetsu Nishino received this slide ball, which was in the center of the good ball area, which is called the sweet area.
"nice shot!"
After luring the hitter to the empty swing, the number of balls came to a very subtle situation where 2 was bad and 2 was good.
The hitter from Wanye was very depressed without hitting the ball in the center.
