After losing one hit, Kazuya Nishino's ball control condition fluctuated, and he shot 4 bad balls in a row.

"Four bad balls!"

"The hitters come on base!"

The hitter Ototaya Hashiya put down his bat and went outside the left strike zone, and ran to first base. At the same time, the runner Horio Hiroo, who was originally first base, was also pushed to second base.

Tetsu Nishino, who had asked the trial, walked up to the pitcher mound with a baseball.

"Kaya, don't worry about the runners on the base, just deal with the hitters."

Tetsu Nishino put the carefully wiped baseball into Kazuya Nishino's gloves, patted his arm gently, and said in a gentle tone.

"Relax in your heart, seniors and I won't let them come back and score."

"I know this..."

"I'll be relieved if I know." After saying that, Tetsu Nishino walked back to the catcher's seat.

Seeing someone attacking at one and two bases at Baode Academy on the field, the two people who were broadcast live said.

"In fact, Nishino Kazuya played very well in the pitching game, and he has only lost 1 point in the seventh inning."

"Yes," said the guest Mucheng, "From the real-time data, he has already won 8 strikeouts, and the overall pitching is still very stable."

"In the second half of the seventh inning, there is a chance for Bode Academy to be eliminated from two places, and the hitter is Tomoya Watanabe, and the Ace of Bode Academy!"

“PlayBall!”

Starting from this pitching, Kazuya Nishino made two straight shots in a row, both of which were scored in the good ball area.

Among the two straight balls, one has a low outer angle and the other has a high inner angle.

Tomoya Watanabe let go of the ball with a low outer angle and hit the ball with a high inner angle close to his body, pulling it back to form an outbound ball.

Seeing that Mori Shin-Yuan was in place on the first base, Takashi Nishino thought to himself: "It's a pity that it's an out-of-bounds ball... However, it's not bad to catch up with the hitter after two good balls."

“0 bad 2 good!”

The referee made a gesture and then signaled that the next ball could be shot.

Kazuya Nishino looked at the home plate from the top of the pitcher mound and nodded to Tetsu Nishino who had finished playing the secret code.

In the third goal, Tetsu Nishino planned to take advantage of the left shot against left shot, and to shoot a bad ball in the outside corner to lure the hitter Tomoya Watanabe.

After the ball was thrown, it went straight to the outer corner.

"Bang!"

140 kilometers straight ball!

Takashi Nishino, who received the ball, kept his arm still. Even if he cheated out a bad ball, he would not reveal his thoughts clearly.

The function of this bad ball is not only to deceive the stick, but also to test or lay the foundation.

Next goal.

“Outer angle high slide ball.”

The outer angle is also high or edge area, but the ball type has changed from a straight ball to a change ball.

In terms of the completion degree of the pitcher of a general college, the speed of a straight ball is more than 130 kilometers, and the speed of a large-angle slider is more than 110 kilometers. The smaller the angle of the slider, the faster the speed.

Therefore, as long as the hitter feels that the ball is fast and heads to the good ball area, he can swing the baton to hit.

Because Kazuya Nishino hit a little speed in the last ball, the straight shot was almost falling to 130 kilometers, which was different from the 145 speed ball in front.

In this way, the slide ball flying to the outer corner will be more effective in luring Tomoya Watanabe who is playing on the left.

In Nishino Tetsuya's consideration, the hitter will unconsciously compare the baseball speed when choosing the ball.

The speed of 140 kilometers will be faster than you think as a recent reference, so the slider thrown at this time is faster in the hitter's impression.

The faster the slider, the smaller the angle.

The smaller the angle, the greater the chance of falling into the good ball area without flying out when entering the base.

When facing a seemingly faster slider, the hitter who is chased by two good balls will not dare to ignore the possibility that the ball will eventually be pressed on the edge of the good ball area.

“Hu—Hu—”

On the pitcher mound, Kazuya Nishino took a few deep breaths, holding the ball sideways to adjust the rhythm of his body.

The nervousness on his face gradually disappeared, and Kazuya Nishino threw the ball out.

call out!

The baseball takes a spin and takes action from the upper right corner of the good ball area, drawing a rotation curve during high-speed flight.

Before flying out of the good ball area, the baseball starts to enter the base, and the landing point is looking at the edge of the good ball area.

Tetsu Nishino, who was squatting behind the left side of the home plate, stared at the ball tightly, and his gloves opened and raised slightly upwards.

Just as he was about to catch the ball, a metal bat suddenly entered his sight, just as he expected.

Swish—!

There was almost no contact, two high-speed moving objects intersected, and the white baseball continued to fly over.

"Bang!"

Tetsu Nishino raised his left hand and received the ball from a very high point in the outer corner.

"Strike-up!"

"The hitter is out!"

"There are people out of two bases, and the hitter Tomoya Watanabe was knocked out by a baton!"

"Good shots from the first-year pitcher of Baishan High School! Baode Academy's counterattack in this seventh inning is over!"

Tetsu Nishino stood up from the catcher's seat, took out the ball from his gloves and passed it to the person responsible for wiping the ball on the sidelines, and said to Kazuya Nishino who was running over with a bright smile.

“Nice pitches!”

"Hehehe!"

Back in the rest seat, Takashi Nishino took a towel and wiped off the sweat from his face, sat down and drank water to rest.

After just getting the eight-point pitcher Tomoya Watanabe, Kazuya Nishino's strikeout score in this game also reached 9 times.

Although Kazuya Nishino hit the ball with a change ball many times, Tetsu Nishino, as a catcher, clearly realized that what Bodega Academy cares most is the straight ball.

It is precisely with the straight ball as bait that Kazuya Nishino's average level of change can produce such a good effect.

In the first half of the following eight games, Baishan High School's offense ended in three ups and three downs.

Pitchers are called the ace of a team in college baseball, which corresponds to the reality of low hit rate and few hits in college baseball games.

A few hours of high school baseball game often doesn't hit most of the time, and the pitcher's performance accounts for the majority of the game time.

Naturally, the pitcher's personal heroic image is even more prominent.

Three ups and three downs, the hitters retreat continuously, and the other persons need to go around, and some people beat them retreat. These are the normal manifestations of high school hitters.

In the history of Kaziyuan, in order to improve the attack scene of the game, Takano Lian specially made many measures to encourage offense.

For example, temporarily hanging a fence in the summer to reduce the outfield of Jiaziyuan Stadium to make it easier for players to hit home runs.

For example, Takano Lian couldn't stand the low hit rate of high school students using wooden sticks, so they opened up the use of metal bats, which caused the number of hits and home runs in Kaziyuan to surge, and almost all personal hit records were generated after this.

The game at Jiaziyuan Stadium entered the second half of the eighth innings, and Baode Academy's attack was launched.

The first hitter to play was Kyuba Osaki Hidema. He has not played hits in Kaziyuan yet, and this time it is his third playoff in this game.

"Clang!"

After 1 bad ball and 2 good balls, Hidema Osaki hit the outside corner slide on the fourth ball.

Seeing the ball flying high and slowly towards the right field, Takashi Nishino stood up and looked at Xiaoyuan Haido who was waiting for the next shot to play, and then continued to look at the right field.

In the right field, Komata Meteor walked leisurely to the baseball landing point, opened his gloves and picked up the ball.

"Exit!"

At this time, the clock on the scoreboard behind Jiaziyuan reached 9:45 in the morning, and the three rounds lasted for more than an hour and a half.

The on-site broadcast broadcasts simultaneously as the hitters enter the strike zone.
Chapter completed!
