Near the area to be beaten, Nishino Tetsu, who was wearing the attack equipment, waved his stick, looked at Yoshi Okarasu who was trying to cast, and muttered.

"It's over 140 goals?"

Although Tetsu Nishino is not Okabayashi Yuki's catcher, he has always paid attention to his number of balls and estimated that he should have scored 140 goals.

The official statistic of the stadium is 143 goals.

In other words, after Okara Yuki scored 7 innings, he used 143 goals. But in fact, the test pitch and the constrained ball were not counted, and the real number of balls used would only be much more than this number.

No matter how you look at it, there are too many 143 goals.

And if anyone noticed Shirayama's starting pitcher Takashi Iwada used the ball in 7 games, he would be shocked.

108 goals.

Takachi Iwada, who was hit many hits and allowed double-digit hitters to base, only used 108 goals after 7 innings and lost only 1 point.

The main reason for the difference between the two is the pitching style and the catcher's ball matching.

Yoshiki Okarasu uses 70% to 80% of the balls, and the change ball is less than 20%. Takuda Iwada knows that nearly half of it is the change ball.

It does not mean that the more the ball or the proportion of the ball is, the better. The key is to cooperate between the balls. The ultimate goal is to get the number of eliminated players.

Yoki Okabayashi is obviously a straight ball player, while Takashi Iwada is barely considered a centrist.

Looking at the record table, Yoshi Okara's dense strikeouts were shocking. But if you pay attention to the pitching process carefully, you will find that things are not that simple.

Baishan's hitters were not as weak as being easily striked off.

After gradually adapting to Yoshihiro Okarasu's high-speed ball, Baishan's hitters kept following the ball, often sticking to the ball and fighting many balls, and hitting a lot of outbound balls.

Of course this is a forced choice.

If you are sure to play a hit, no one wants to use the out-of-bounds ball to waste, and in the end they can't keep up with being knocked out. Baishan's players don't want to do this.

It feels bad to be struck out.

The game went down one game in one game, and Yoki Okarasu usually consumed seven or eight goals to solve a hitter. And Takashi Iwada sometimes only had two or three goals, or even one goal to get the number of outs.

The reason is very simple. It is because Takashi Iwada's ball is much easier to play than Yoshiki Okarasu. Basically, the hitters in the wild will make a stick. After the ball is hit, it depends on the guard of the ball.

The price of Yoshi Okarae's 12 strikeouts was that she couldn't control the number of balls.

"call out!"

"Bang!"

After throwing this test pitch, the first half of the eight innings will be held soon.

Yoshi Okarachi walked behind the pitching mound, picked up the talc powder and squeezed it. He always felt that he was tired very fast today, and he couldn't make any effort at first, so he had to pitch with all his strength to maintain the speed of the ball.

"It should be fine. I've also voted and blocked before."

Yoshi Okarari thought.

But he ignored one thing. In the past, most of the past shots and blocks were only 140 goals in the ninth game, but now he has exceeded the seventh game. Moreover, he could win a few strikeouts at that time, and it was not as difficult as today.

On this hot afternoon, the competition has been played for almost 2 hours under the scorching sun at noon.

The heat in the air distorts the distant sight, the steaming heat makes players more tired than usual, while the pitcher is the fastest-waving physical strength.

The heat of summer is in the physical sense.

Even though he had replenished a lot of water in the rest mat, Yoshiki Okara still felt thirsty in his mouth, and sweat couldn't stop sliding down his red cheeks.

In fact, Yoshihiro Okara’s face had already accumulated heat in his early days.

Not only did he use more balls than Iwada Tatsuta, but he even had time to stand on the pitcher mound.

The radio sounded in the stadium.

"In the first half of the eighth game, Baishan High School's offense, the hitter now is, Yiba, catcher, Nishino Jun."

"A stick, catcher, Nishino-kun."

Tetsu Nishino walked from the waiting area to the attack area with the bat.

This half-inning is his third time as the first hitter. However, this is not a good thing, it only means that their Baishan hitters are eliminated neatly.

In the eighth and ninth games, Baishan High School, who was attacking first, had two and a half games, with 6 outs, and the round of playing the line was less than one round. This time it was the turn of the top team to play the line, which was probably the last time.

The closest seat to the end of summer.

“PalyBall!”

After lifting the bat, Tetsu Nishino's expression became very focused, as if in front of him was a serving machine that threw a simple ball path.

Yoshi Okarachi on the pitcher mound felt very upset when he saw his expression and wanted to teach him a lesson as a first-year junior.

"That boy is a little arrogant."

Many pitchers choose to face a head-on battle with Tetsu Nishino. One reason is that Tetsu Nishino who goes to the strike zone gives people a completely different feeling.

There is a kind of indifference that people should not be approached by strangers.

After spending time in the baseball department, Hiroki Tsuji and the others discovered that Tetsuki Nishino is actually a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. His true gentle side will only be left to familiar people, while others are just out of politeness.

After entering the attack zone, Tetsu Nishino who entered the state would not consider other things, which gave many pitchers a sense of provocation.

Shino's catcher Watanabe did not notice this. He was quickly recalling Tetsu Nishino's previous seating trips.

"Do you like playing straight ball?"

"Then you have to be more cautious when matching a straight ball. Use the change ball to test it first."

First ball.

Yoshi Okarasu made a shot.

call out!

"Bang!"

The baseball slid down and fell into the catcher's glove.

"nice shot."

The slide ball in the inner corner of Takashi Nishino did not swing the baton at all, and even the position of the baton was raised, so Shino's catcher Watanabe became even more bold.

The second ball.

"Fast finger-to-point ball."

“In the good ball area.”

Watanabe played the secret code and put on his gloves. He was very sure that Tetsu Nishino would not make a stick in this ball. They could quickly grab two good balls, and then use a straight ball to catch Tetsu Nishino to make a stick.

But after the ball was shot, he missed the shot.

"Bad ball!"

Tetsu Nishino did not make any good results, because the quick finger-tip ball was obviously out of the outer corner. With his ability to select balls, he would not be fooled at all.

1 bad 1 good.

"The wild pitcher's ball seems to be a little fluttering..."

What Nishino Tetsuya cared about was the rise of Okarasu Yuki's ball path, and the ball speed seemed to not be raised, and the fatigue of pitching gradually emerged.

"You can fight!"

Looking at the position of the catcher's gloves, Tetsu Nishino immediately made up his mind and quietly held the bat tightly, waiting for the ball to come out.

The wild catcher Watanabe is swaying at a low position in the inner corner.

Amid the music of the fighter's support song, Yoshiki Okara shook his arm and threw the ball out!

call out!

"It's true that's the position!"

Tetsu Nishino kept his body's central axis stable and hit the bat horizontally, aiming at the high position because Yoshiokara Yuki lost his shot again.

"Clang!"

The floating straight ball was pulled out, and it passed through the infield and fell into the left middle and outfield, just between the two outfielders in the wild. After the ball landed, it continued to roll deep into the outfield.

Before the ball was returned to the inland field, Tetsu Nishino ran to second base.
Chapter completed!
