Takachi Iwada on the pitcher mound nodded, held his breath and concentrated, and suddenly threw the ball towards the home base area.

call out!

When the baseball came in, it slid down in a larger arc. Takashi Nishino looked at the white ball getting closer and closer, and stretched forward with his left hand lightly.

At the same time, the glove changed from the forehand posture to a slightly backhanded posture, and then sank down and hugged the ball inside.

"Bang!"

The baseball fell into Tetsu Nishino's gloves, the sound was short and very light, and it sounded very comfortable.

"Bad ball!"

The presiding judge ruled.

Takashi Nishino half-kneeled, and while putting his gloves on his chest and taking out the ball, he turned his head and looked at the hitter on his left to observe whether the hitter swung more than half of the baton.

The water hole that was hit by the gen did not make a stick to the slide ball, and there was no big move on the shoulders.

"Have you seen through the ball path?"

Takashi Nishino thought, he knelt on one knee on the ground and passed the ball to senior Takashi Iwada.

"The hitter's shoulders remain unmoved, which means that he can see the ball very accurately, but the slide ball thrown by senior Iwada is OK, although it is a little lower..."

"Try it out."

Tetsu Nishino decided to match the next ball with a slider. This time, I wanted the position at the low position of the outer corner. Don't shoot the inner corner before the situation is unclear.

"Um."

Iwada Takashi Iwada did not shake his head, picked up the ball with his right hand and looked at it, knowing what Takashi Nishino meant in his heart.

Sliding balls are a type of ball that he is more confident. Takashi Nishino is mostly used to slide balls to help him build his feel and confidence in pitching.

Seeing Takashi Iwada slightly leaning against the ball, Takashi Nishino's gloves were swaying forward, as if he was about to set up.

This is a signal to pitch.

On the pitcher mound, Iwada Takachi made a coherent pitching move and stepped on his feet. At the same time, Tetsu Nishino also took back the gloves he had put on.

While fitting the rhythm with the pitcher, Tetsu Nishino tried his best to avoid the hitter seeing through the ball path of the ball.

call out!

The ball was thrown, but the control was too poor.

"despair!"

In Nishino Tetsuya's vision, the baseball slid down to the ground and hit the ground hard, then bounced back and attacked to his right.

Missed the pitch!

At the critical moment, Tetsu Nishino pressed forward with his left hand and put the ball into the catcher's glove before the baseball bounced high.

"Bang!"

"Um...um..."

The stirred dust rushed over, and Takashi Nishino shook his head quickly and drove away some of the dust.

"Bad ball!"

The referee said and made two bad ball gestures.

"The hitters were not caught with two consecutive slide balls. Could it be that the starfish's supervision asked them to play only straight balls?"

Takashi Nishino frowned and thought to himself.

"If this is the case, it will be difficult..."

The number of times Iwada Takashi's straight ball was hit, accounting for more than half of the hits. It is indeed difficult to make the hitter swing head-on.

But it's not OK to shoot straight balls.

Both of these slide balls, Takashi Iwada, shot outside the good ball area. The starfish's hitter saw it all the way, and had no intention of making a good shot. He seemed to be sure that he could not make a shot.

If Takashi Nishino has another change ball, Takashi Iwada must hit the good ball area, otherwise the hitter will let it go unscrupulously.

After selecting two bad balls, the water hole of the player looked at his supervisor, and held the hit helmet and pointed his head several times.

Tetsuya Nishino didn't understand the series of reactions of the beating player.

"Um."

After hesitating for a few moments, Takashi Nishino finally took his attention and decided to follow his opponent's ideas.

"Is the starfish aiming at the ball to play?"

"Then let's throw it in!"

"Let the hitters hit and see!"

The third ball, Tetsu Nishino made a straight ball from the low post in the outer corner, and shot it in to get the number of balls. After all, the number of balls is now 0.

This ball is most likely to be waiting for by the hitter, but it also needs to be shot in. Because they cannot escape all the time when they shoot. Instead of being forced to shoot three bad balls in the end, it is better to take the initiative to shoot.

Takashi Iwata suddenly threw the ball and took action!

Straight ball!

call out!

Baseball came to the outside corner of the good ball area. Takashi Nishino opened his gloves and went forward to pick it up, but was forced to take it first by the water outlet in the attack area.

"Clang!"

"It's really a fight!"

Takashi Nishino suddenly pushed up his mask and immediately raised his head and looked to his right front. He felt relieved after seeing the ball fly into the stands on the right.

"Outside the boundary!"

The straight ball Iwada Takashi Iwada controlled to move the base position closer to the outer edge, and after sacrificing some speed, the ball was pressed heavily, so the hitter did not hit well.

It is obvious that the starfish's goal is to have a straight ball.

After these few goals, Tetsu Nishino realized that they had to deal with it. The best way was to stuff a beautiful change ball in.

Next goal.

"Longitary slide ball with low inner angle!"

Seeing Nishino Tetsuki's secret code, Takashi Iwada's face became silly. Those who didn't know him thought he was angry, but it was actually just his solemn reaction.

The vertical slide ball with a low inner angle is very close to the hitter's body when entering the base, and it also slides down greatly. In this way, the hitter will most likely not be able to deal with it, so it is the winning goal of many good-looking pitchers.

This is how Iwada Takashi practiced. In this game, he relied on this ball path to resolve the previous crises.

With such a sharp ball path, the biggest problem is that it is difficult to shoot. Once it is not controlled well, it is either a touch ball or a ball that is easy to play in the middle.

"You must vote, otherwise you will be too passive."

2 bad 1 good balls, Takashi Iwada knew the importance of this ball. After adjusting for several seconds, he threw the ball over.

call out!

The ball flew over!

“Eh?!”

Seeing the baseball coming in so close, the starfish's hitter Mizuko took a step back in surprise and could not swing out the bat with his bat.

"Bang!"

Tetsu Nishino reached out to receive the ball without any obstacles, and steadily held the gloves near the hitter's knee, although he knew that the chance was slim.

"Bad ball!"

The presiding referee's ruling is still as firm as ever, but for both sides, one side will always be covered in haze, and this time it will be detrimental to the pitcher.

3 bad balls 1 good ball.

With the preparation of the outer corner of the first few balls, he suddenly shot into the inner corner.

The hitter Mizuguchi was as expected by Tetsu Nishino, but unfortunately, they still failed to seize the opportunity to grab two good goals first.

Now that they are behind in the number of balls, they must make a good shot in the goal area to catch up.

"It's fine."

Where others couldn't see, Takashi Nishino pressed his hand towards the pitching hill and then threw the ball back.

In less than a few minutes, several people on the field had already had several confrontations, and the result was that the water mouth that came to the table was even better.

But this is only a temporary advantage.

As long as the ball has not been hit yet, one of the pitchers will have a chance to regain the situation, and the hitter has not yet reached the time to be happy.

The next goal, the fifth goal, Nishino Tetsuki gave a straight ball with a low ball path. He straightened his back and played a secret code to Takachi Iwada above.

"Come on! Come on!"

The crucial goal of this game was out of his control after leaving Iwada Takashi's palm.

call out!

The baseball flew over from the pitcher mound and entered Nishino's gloves unimpeded.

"Bang!"

Although the lowered ball path eliminated the hitter's intention to make a stick, it also fell outside the good ball area.

"Four bad balls!"
Chapter completed!
