Chapter 272 The second half of the ninth inning
The words of supervision by Totoshi are very simple, which are sentences used by college supervision to encourage players. They are still very useful at this time. Baishan players used this period to calm down some fluctuations.
Everyone returns to their positions and the game resumes.
Kenta Nishikawa hopes to hit the field and send Takuro Yoshinaga, who is second base, back to home base, and he can also safely advance to the base.
The second shot from the table this time was shot.
Kazuya Nishino cut a straight ball into the good ball area, with a speed of 147 kilometers. Kenta Nishikawa chose to swing the baton and faced the pitcher head-on.
However, Kazuya Nishino, who has achieved remarkable growth, is already different from the Spring Conference.
"Clang!"
The ball was hit in the direction of first base. First baseman Yumori Shiyuan was guarding the front, hugged the ball with his chest, and trotted and stepped on the first base bag.
"Exit!"
Baishan's garrison banned the beating man and got it out, but the runner Yoshinaga Takuro at the second base did not dare to move.
The next hitter is Matsusaka Shang High School's turn to Asesuke Abe, his fifth hitter.
The fourth stick is the most important hitter in the nine-player line, and is generally the most trustworthy player in the team. Abesuke in the third grade is such a player in the Matsusaka Shoji.
In the first and second matches, Tetsu Nishino got his out.
But in the third and fourth batting seats, Abesuke withstood the pressure and hit two and one batting respectively, driving the subsequent offensive.
The two full-stack crises in this final were directly instigated by Matsusaka Shang’s four sticks.
Such a hard-to-treat hitter, using the tactic of staying away, is a rational choice to send the now empty first base.
But if you do this, it will be a pity for both parties.
The last player in high school career is unable to swing the baton, and the capture lacks the courage to showdown under the lead of big scores, which is contrary to the tradition of college baseball.
Of course, Tetsu Nishino would not seek a head-on battle recklessly, but instead used a tricky ball path to win the hitter.
The first ball is a straight ball at the edge of the outer corner.
"nice shot!"
Because of the 146-kilometer ball speed and tricky base entry position, Abesuke did not make a stick on the straight ball and watched the ball enter Tetsu Nishino's gloves.
There was a burst of applause in the stands, and many local audiences applauded. The first-grade arresting group and the four-bar match made them stare at each ball with all their attention.
The second goal was Nishino Tetsuya with a straight ball with a low outer corner.
"Bang!" The sound of the baseball crashing into the catcher's glove was very dull.
“147km/h!”
The ball path is very stable and beautiful, but unfortunately the base point is outside the good ball area, and the hitter does not swing the baton, adding a bad ball.
1 ball number is bad and 1 is good.
At this time, the whole audience's eyes gathered on the pitcher mound, home base area, and infield. The air around seemed to solidify, imprisoning the players' bodies.
Before the next shot is thrown.
Catcher Tetsu Nishino looked at the hitter Abesuke, who stared at pitcher Kazuya Nishino. Kazuya Nishino turned to look at runner Takuro Yoshinaga, and Takuro Yoshinaga was watching the home plate area and waiting for an opportunity to move.
After the straight ball with a low outer corner of the last ball, Takashi Nishino was equipped with a slide ball hanging from the high outer corner on the third ball.
"Bang!" Takashi Nishino raised his hand gently and answered.
"nice shot!"
Two good balls chased the four-shot hitters, and warm applause was raised in the stadium stands again. Kazuya Nishino on the pitcher mound raised his lips with a little smug look on his lips.
Shiraisha's first-year left-hand shot possession was beyond Abesuke's expectations, and the ball he let out forced himself to a situation where he had to swing the baton.
He bit his lower lip, and Asesuke held his breath and waited for the next ball.
The baseball came immediately, attacking him with a low inner corner, and was knocked out of bounds by him.
After this slide ball at the inner corner was hit out of bounds, Takashi Nishino was not discouraged. After all, it was normal for the slide ball above 110 kilometers to be caught and knocked out of bounds.
However, the 146-kilometer straight ball with a low outer angle of the fifth ball was also hit out of bounds, giving Tetsu Nishino a dangerous signal.
Under the speed difference between the slide ball and the straight ball, the hitter still seemed to have caught "Ta イミング", which is the timing of hitting the ball.
At this time, if you throw in the straight or slippery balls that are common to college hitters, or even some slow ball types, they will most likely be beaten out to form hits.
Sitting on the ground, Takashi Nishino pretended to look around and thought for more than ten seconds before finally making a choice.
"Finger ball!"
"Submit it!"
In terms of the sixth ball type, Takashi Nishino chose the finger-propelled ball with a falling ball type, and the base point was roughly lower than the middle of the good ball area.
In addition to mastering basic straight balls and slide balls, college-level speed ball pitchers will also practice finger-to-point balls or quick-point balls used in conjunction with speed balls.
When the finger-fork ball reaches the home plate, it will suddenly fall due to gravity, which will be lower than the hitting point predicted by the hitter.
Because gravity continues to affect the ball, the drop of the finger-fork ball near home plate is larger than that of the speed ball, which can destroy the beater's baton rhythm.
When facing the finger-propelled ball thrown in, the hitter of the professional baseball can also chase the ball out of bounds with its reaction and speed.
College-level hitters usually fail to swing their batons when facing sudden changes in finger-fork balls.
The advantage of 1 bad ball and 2 good balls, plus several straight balls have been laid, Tetsu Nishino wants to strike out the four-pointer Abe Suk who is Matsusaka Shin-saka.
If you get this strikeout in the second half of the nine innings, the game will basically be over.
The key to this ball is to lower the amount of ball path.
If it is high, the finger-to-hand ball that cannot fall will fall into the middle and become a sweet ball that misses the shot; if it is low, it will obviously cause the bad ball of sweet potatoes to be dug, and the hitter will easily miss the catcher.
"Well, I understand."
Kazuya Nishino raised his hands on his chest, covered his right gloves in front of his left hand, and quietly changed his grip inside.
Place the index finger and middle finger on a pair of parallel sutures on the ball, and the other three fingers hold the ball together and hold it together.
Step on the ground.
Turn around.
Rotate shoulders.
Wave your arm.
Kazuya Nishino pitched the ball, stretching out his beautiful posture, and the baseball came through the air.
"In the center!"
Asesuke reacted immediately. The baseball flew closer to home base and his swing was swinging at the same time.
In this short moment, the ball and bat that were moving at high speed flashed through Nishino Tetsuya's vision.
Metal bat on top and white baseball on bottom.
The shortest distance between two objects moving at high speed was only one or two centimeters.
Tetsu Nishino went forward with his left hand and held the ball firmly before it was about to land.
"Bang!"
At the moment when he heard the sound of a sturdy catch, many viewers saw Takashi Nishino holding up his gloves in the catcher's seat after swinging the bat, and they quickly understood what had just happened.
Swinging the baton is gone and strike out!
Chapter completed!
