9 a.m.

Under the gray sky.

Hanshin Kaziyuan Stadium is crowded with people.

25,000 spectators were seated in the infield stands and a small half of the outfield stands.

The Spring Kaziyuan, which mobilized more than 500,000 visitors, is the second largest event in Japanese high school baseball after Kaziyuan in summer, driving the surrounding economy to more than 30 billion yen.

Although the outfield stands seem sparse, the number of visitors today has exceeded the average of this year's Spring League match.

If you want to fill the stadium, you need to wait until the last few rounds of the conference.

In general, Chunjia is slightly less attractive than Haka. In addition to the reason why only players who have just advanced to the second and third grades play, spring is less "last" regretful aesthetics that Japanese high school sports culture loves than summer.

After entering the court, the players of the two teams were warming up in front of their respective rest areas.

In the live broadcast commentator seat of the Daily News "LIVE", several live commentators looked at the monitor screen in front of them while introducing the matchup between the two sides.

"Good morning for college wild balls!"

“This is Jiaziyuan Stadium.”

"What we are watching is the 91st round of the selection meeting, on the 6th, the last round of the first round, the match between Tomoe Wakayama High School from Wakayama Prefecture and Shiratsuyama High School from Mie Prefecture."

"Tsyopia Wakayama High School, three bases, attack first."

"Baishan High School, first base side, back attack."

"After Baishan High School relay achieved Hakka's debut, he once again came to the stage of his dream and realized Chunjia's debut wish."

"The first attacking partner is Matsuba Rishi, who is in the third grade of the No. 1 backstage, and Tetsu Nishino, who is in the second grade of the No. 2 backstage."

"There are 9 people in the garrison, and there are three people born in two years."

"There are three players who played in Jiaziyuan last summer."

"Catcher, Nishino, 2 years."

"Left fielder, Kawamura, 3 years."

"Right outfielder, Komata, 3 years."

"In terms of Tomobe Wakayama High School, 6 of the nine starters have experience in playing the game in Koko-yuan. Last year, the quasi-winning winners were won, and last year, Haka lost to Omi High School."

Then.

The players lined up to pay a gift.

Jiaziyuan Stadium sounded the iconic air defense alarm whistle of high school baseball.

"Buzz~buzz~buzz~buzz~buzz~buzz~"

Because this is the first game today, a kickoff ceremony was arranged.

The kickoff guest is Kakuki Natsuin, a 5th-grade female student in a local elementary school in Hyogo Prefecture.

“Play ball!”

After the referee raised his hand, Kaori Natsunori threw out the baseball in his hand.

The ball flew in with a parabolic trajectory that first went up and then went down.

Tetsu Nishino raised his left hand.

"Bang!"

The ball is in the upper left corner with a bad ball strap falling into the glove.

Although the ball was missed, because it was the start of the primary school student's shot, there was applause on the spot.

The ball thrown at the kickoff ceremony can fall into the catcher's gloves, not to mention that the hitter also swung the empty stick symbolically as usual.

Takashi Nishino ran up the pitcher mound with the ball. When he saw the little girl in front of him was a little nervous under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, he took off his cover and nodded with a smile when he shook hands with her.

"Go very well."

"Well! Brother Nishino, come on too!" Kakumu Natsuo smiled happily.

Turning around, she almost forgot to shake hands with Matsuye Lixin, so she turned around for a little longer.

"Hahaha, it's okay." Matsuye Lixin shook hands with her with a smile.

"Brother Matsuye, come on!"

Kakuki Natsuo bowed to the audience and then left the scene.

The kickoff ceremony was successfully completed.

The competition begins.

In the first game, the top three players on both sides made no achievements.

The first half of the second game.

Matsuye Li's newbie feels not hot, and there are also slight omissions in the defense of the inland field.

After the first out, Tomoeba and Kayayama hit two infield hits in a row, and then used a strike and sacrifice to create a scoring opportunity for two outs and three bases.

At this time, Matsuye Lixin showed his fearless side.

3 Bad balls.

2 good balls.

2 Exit.

Finally, he calmly completed the ball match of Takashi Nishino.

With a slippery ball that escaped from the outer corner, he struck out the eighth pitcher of Tomoe Wakayama who was swinging in the right strike zone.

Three out.

Offensive and defensive exchange.

A moment later, the radio of the Jiaziyuan Stadium rang: "In the second half of the second game, Baishan High School's attack, the hitters on the court were four bats, catcher, Nishino Jun."

"Four sticks, catcher, Nishino-kun."

The Alps stands on the first base side played the support song "Lupin III" of the current player on Baishan High School.

At the same time, the discussion in the stands became louder, and at first glance, some viewers could also see raised their phones.

Although he is not the "NO.1 hitter" of this conference, thanks to his performance in Hagar last year and his performance in the autumn conference, Shiratsuyama High School fourth player Tetsu Nishino is one of the most popular players.

35 hits 22 hits.

The playing rate is 0.629.

Reservation 26.

Home run 8.

As for the fighters, the competition for the "NO.1 fighters" at each national conference can be described as a fight between gods, especially the county conference is the pre-selected Hagar.

The distinction between strength and weakness in the county has led to the fact that the main players of strong teams are often unstoppable and they often make various data records. For example, the minimum requirement for Hagar to enter the top 5 playing rates last year was 65%.

Although Tetsu Nishino failed to defend the title of "NO.1 hitter", most people in the field of the field evaluated him as the top high school hitter who had the strength to ensure that the two and one.

but.

Having strength does not necessarily mean being popular.

The reason why Tetsu Nishino is so popular among fans is that he is good-looking and has outstanding figure, second, because his school is inspirational, and third, because his playing style is good and attractive.

In the eyes of most fans, the first two reasons are different, but the third one is different.

The style of playing is good and has data.

Isn't this one of the greatest pleasures of watching sports games?

Therefore, among the high school baseball fans, Takashi Nishino has a large number of passers-by fans. Even if many people don’t pay much attention to Shiratsuyama, they will occasionally take a look at his collection and enjoy it.

How did the genius boy who emerged last summer grow up?
