Chapter two hundred and fifty sixth price
"The four bad balls..."
Takashi Iwada took off the ball cap and wiped the sweat from his face.
The main reason for this four bad balls was that his inner corner change ball was not good and dropped outside the good ball area.
Despite this, Tetsu Nishino applied for a suspension, came up to the pitcher with his mask and chatted with Takashi Iwada.
If you look carefully and deeply, it is irresponsible to push the pitcher completely to the reason for the four bad balls.
Since Tetsu Nishino chose to use the number of bad balls, he would inevitably bear the risk of the hitter seeing through it, and the cost was the pitcher's ball control deviation caused by the ball-behind.
3 Bad balls and 1 After a good ball, it is normal for the pitcher to fluctuate the ball.
But in this way, Nishino Tetsugu and his team had to face the Qingbu runners of Matsusaka Shang when there were people on the base.
The radio in the stadium said: "Three sticks, shortstop, Nishikawa Jun."
During the introduction broadcast, Kenta Nishikawa walked to the right strike area with the bat, and then smeared the ground of the strike area with his feet, and raised the bat with a cautious look on his face.
Takashi Nishino squatted in the catcher's seat and looked aside.
In his vision, Matsusaka Shang's four-stick Abesuke has already arrived at the waiting area.
"At this time, you can't put four sticks on it."
So Takashi Nishino's first ball was equipped with the slide ball in the change ball, but the quality of the slide ball Iwada Tatsuda gave was not good, so he threw a ball to dig sweet potatoes.
Neither the first base runner nor the hitter Kenta Nishikawa did much movement because they knew that Shiratsu had to shoot a good shot.
Even Matsusaka Shang's players are very sure that they will be straight balls, because Iwada Takashi's previous changes were not ideal, so he could only get a good number of balls by shooting straight balls.
"Um..." Tetsu Nishino weighed quickly.
At this time, Matsusaka Shang's hitter was eyeing the straight ball that was thrown in, and he noticed the danger of matching the straight ball.
However, it is impossible not to have a straight ball. After all, a straight ball is the lifeline of a pitcher, and it is even more so when it is placed in a high school pitcher.
To be honest, high school students have just controlled the ball like that. It is already good to be able to throw a straight ball into the four grid. It is unrealistic to change the ball.
In the end, Tetsu Nishino still played the code of straight ball.
"Straight ball..."
“Outer angle high!”
He asked Takachi Iwata to shoot a high straight ball.
If the hitter can be made into a high-flying ball, the best result is, the second acceptable result is that the hitter can swing empty.
After matching the straight ball, Tetsu Nishino still had a worry in his heart.
"I hope the hitters won't catch the ball."
A lot of sweat oozed out of the palm of his right hand, and Tetsu Nishino was worried that it would affect the ball delivery.
So he quietly grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, held it twice and put it all down.
After eased his emotions, Takashi Nishino moved a small step towards the left strike zone, and the squat was closer to the inner corner of the hitter.
The gloves swung in the middle of the body, and the catcher gesture made by Takashi Nishino was an attacking inner corner.
Seeing the gloves set, Takashi Iwada came over from the pitching mound.
"call out!"
The ball came straight to the outer corner.
"Outer corner?! Do you want to fight?!" Kenta Nishikawa held his breath.
When he saw the ball path, the first thought in his mind was that the ball's base point might be in the outer corner, but he had not had time to judge the ball type.
The baseball came in very quickly, and the time to choose the ball was only a few seconds.
"It looks like a straight ball, but it doesn't seem to fall too much, it should be a good ball to wait for!"
Relying on the ball selection experience he usually trains, Kenta Nishikawa decided to take action against this ball.
From the drop point of the shot, to the trajectory in the front section, to the general feeling of speed, this ball is in line with his judgment of the straight ball.
If it is not a straight ball in the end but a change ball, it can only mean that Takashi Iwada's pitching is too good, so he can't tell it in the strike zone.
Now it's 1 bad and 0 good, even if you sweep it, there's no big problem.
The moment he decided to play the ball, Kenta Nishikawa's angle of swinging the ball became very important.
"Swish--!"
The moment the ball entered the base, Kenta Nishikawa swung toward the batting point he had chosen.
"Clang!"
The bat came with a reaction force, and Kenta Nishikawa knew that he had hit the ball.
However, because the straight ball fell slightly, the ball did not hit the center of the ball.
This is what Nishino Tetsuya hopes, inducing the hitter to attack.
"The first good ball that Baishan shot in, and the ball is definitely not very easy to play." The hitter Kenta Nishikawa also considered this.
So he chose the batting direction to first base, and knocked the ball out with a bat.
With a "click", the ball was hit on the infield.
The 135km/h straight ball hit the infield near the sideline, bounced high, and flew over the first base sideline in a parabola.
"Swoosh!"
First base rebound high-flying ball!
Because I had to be on guard against the first base runners, when the ball was hit, first baseman Arimori was stepping on the first base bag.
The runner, who was originally at first base, had already started to rush to second base.
Yumori Shiyuan looked at the ball in mid-air and jumped up to raise the gloves, but in the end it was a little bit worse.
"I can't get it..."
The ball landed behind him and rolled towards the right field. For a moment, all the defending players in Baishan did not intercept.
"Send it back quickly!" Tetsu Nishino quickly signaled to Komada Meteor in the right field and asked him to pass the ball to the second baseman Yuichiro Kajikawa.
"Bang!"
Shirayama second baseman Yuichiro Kajikawa received a return pass from the field and forced Kenta Nishikawa to stop at first base.
However, the runner Yoshinaga Takuro, who was originally at first base, rushed to the third base with his footwork.
In the second half of the three innings, there were two outs and one and three bases. Matsusaka Shang's offense was only one step away from scoring.
The place in the stands suddenly became a fuss. The support team of Matsusaka Shopping High School was immediately excited and shouted in unison to cheer for the team. The team scored another chance to score in the second half of the third inning.
“Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!”
"Matsusaka Business! Matsusaka Business! Matsusaka Business!"
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
This time the opportunity was very good. The fighter was their turn, and the third-grade catcher Abe Suk.
"Nikawa Jun, who had three sticks, knocked the ball in front of the right field, and Yoshinaga Jun, who had two sticks, ran very fast, from first base to third base. After being eliminated in the second half of the three innings, Matsusaka Jun scored an excellent scoring opportunity for someone with one base at the first base."
The commentator Shunsuke Watanabe praised a few words.
With Kenta Nishikawa's hits and Takuro Yoshinaga's running base, Matsusaka Jun connected the hit line, and the next shot was the four hitters, and another hit could rewritten the score of 0-2.
"Request a pause!"
The supervisor of Totoshi off the court immediately applied for a suspension and sent the players to use this time to adjust their status.
Captain Hiroki Tsuji approached Kazuya Nishino, who came up, asked, "Did the supervisor say anything?"
"Ah, that, the supervisor didn't say anything, he just asked everyone to look at the scoreboard."
"Is the scoreboard?"
Chapter completed!
