White Mountain High School baseball field.

"How is it? How is it? It's okay, Tetsu." Nishino Kazuya ran to Nishino Tetsu and said.

"Okay, okay, it's really amazing, really."

Tetsu Nishino really admired his pitching ability this time, it was really far beyond his peers.

Nishino Kazuya was obviously very happy, and finally came back to the limelight, "Well, Azhe, you're not bad either."

Just as he said that, the pitching test was over, and it was obvious that Tetsu Nishino and the others were the best among their peers.

It's time for the all-important strike test.

Hiroki took several senior members to the warehouse to take out the ball server that the school had purchased previously.

The two seniors, Kato Monami and Moriyama Aoi, were not idle either. One on the left and the other on the right, they worked together to carry a box of baseballs towards the baseball field.

Nishino Tetsu saw it, walked over and asked, "Senior, let me move it."

"No need, junior, we can do it." Miss Kato Monamei said.

Senior Aoi Moriyama explained with a smile: "These are all things we can do, otherwise we would really have nothing to do."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Tetsu Nishino was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to smooth things over.

"Yes, now we managers don't need to wash clothes for our employees like those in the past. We usually just do some preparation work, which is quite easy."

Kato Monami explained: "So, no one came up to help. This is how we can participate in the club. But thank you anyway!"

"..."

"Ah!" Tetsu Nishino wailed in his heart, because he was a little self-righteous.

He just thought it was strange that so many boys were watching two girls move things and no one helped them, so he wanted to go and help. He didn't expect this reason.

Fortunately, no one noticed this, especially that guy Kazuya, otherwise he would have teased him to death.

Nishino Tetsu thought happily.

General manager Hiroki placed the pitching machine on the pitcher's mound, and after arranging a net to protect the operator, he left one person there to operate the pitching machine and replenish the baseballs.

The pitcher's mound was about 18 meters away from the batter's box next to home plate. Hiroki went up first and demonstrated a few textbook-like common postures, asking them to just hit as hard as they could.

The hitting test is mainly to initially examine the first-year students' dynamic vision and reaction speed, and also to observe whether they have the ability to hit long balls and whether they can be used as a backup force for the center line.

Hiroki asked the person operating the ball machine to adjust the initial speed of the ball to 110 kilometers. For high school students, hitting a ball with a ball speed of 110 kilometers is a basic requirement, and the ball thrown by the ball machine is usually a straight ball, with the direction

The only change is a slight drop due to gravity.

In addition, the direction of the ball machine has been adjusted, and the ball will basically be thrown into the red center position of the strike zone.

For a team's main hitter like Hiroki, if he plays this kind of ball, he can even easily hit a home run if he is in good condition. But don't think that this speed is too slow. In fact, a baseball at this speed goes from the pitcher's mound to the home plate.

It only takes a little over half a second. It is not an easy task for a novice like Tetsu Nishino to observe the path of the ball, react and then swing the bat within this time.

"One person hits 10 balls!" Hong Shu started the test.

The roulette wheel of the ball server rotates at high speed, and the baseball passes through the gaps between the three roulette wheels, and is then thrown out of the machine by friction.

"Snapped!"

"despair!"

"Qiang!"

As expected, the results of most first-year students were similar. Most of the 10 balls they hit were missed, and the balls they hit were either slow ground balls or high fly balls that were easily caught.

Some first-year players who are better at hitting can basically hit seven or eight balls, but not many can produce hits, and even fewer can hit deep areas in the outfield.

However, this situation is also normal in the Japanese high school baseball world. After all, the vast majority of high school students join the baseball club for fun.

Let alone professional baseball standards, there are very few schools that even require entering Koshien.

Moreover, there is a big difference between high school baseball and professional baseball games, and that is the unexpectedness.

Although high school players are said to have non-utilitarian strong fighting spirit and a fighting spirit to compete for every ball, the reality is that high school players are generally mentally immature, and the basic skills of players trained by different schools are uneven.

This problem is especially obvious in defensive fielding. Fielding errors often occur in high school games. In this case, as long as the ball is hit, there is a possibility of getting on base.

"Azhe, you go and fight too. Senior didn't arrange any order." Nishino Kazuya asked Nishino Tetsu to have a look.

"Um."

Tetsu Nishino took the metal bat that was handed to him and stood on the right side of the pitcher's mound toward home plate, which is the right batter's box.

"Don't be afraid, just follow the posture I demonstrated before." Hiroki reminded.

Nishino Kazuya also said: "If you are really afraid of being hit by the ball, just avoid it when the ball comes."

"I understand." Nishino Tetsu replied.

"Are you ready?"

The senior operating the pitching machine asked to make sure he was focused on the pitcher's mound.

"Ready! Senior."

First goal.

"Bang!"

A white shadow came quickly and hit home base in an instant!

Tetsu Nishino swung the bat quickly.

"Snapped!"

The white ball hit the blocking net behind Tetsu Nishino.

Tetsu Nishino also lost his balance due to his missed swing and almost fell to his knees on the ground.

"Are you too slow?" Nishino Tetsu thought to himself, "It seems that we need to seize the opportunity to swing the bat first."

"Timing! Timing! Pay attention to the timing of swinging the bat! Azhe."

Second ball.

Tetsu Nishino raised the bat, bent his knees slightly, placed his weight on his right foot, and kept his legs in an inward posture.

"Bang!"

The white ball is coming quickly!

Tetsu Nishino has adapted to this speed and can clearly see the location of the ball.

"Red in the middle and lower in the middle!"

"Qiang!"

The ball and bat collided with a crisp sound!

Then, with a "click" sound, the white ball hit the infield hard, removing most of its energy and forming a slow infield grounder.

This kind of infield ground ball is the easiest to get by the defensive player, and then the defensive player can easily block the runner on the running line.

But Tetsu Nishino is not discouraged because he feels that he can already adapt to this kind of ball.

"You can hit it!"

The third ball.

"Qiang!"

The bat found the white ball accurately!

The white ball was hit behind the third base bag.

It was a rim hit, enough to get the runner to first base.

"Did you get used to it so quickly?" Hiroki thought.

"Good shot! That's it Azhe! The timing is right!"

"Yeah." Tetsuya Nishino found that he could quickly grasp the timing of hitting, especially straight balls.

The fourth ball.

"Qiang!"

Once again! The bat found the white ball accurately!

The white ball was carried to left field by Tetsu Nishino.

...

Tetsu Nishino has completely adapted to this kind of pitch with every subsequent pitch, hitting it deep into left field.

...

The last ball!

Tetsu Nishino took a deep breath and stared at the ball machine.

"Bang!"

The white ball came to home plate in an instant!

"Qiang!"

The white ball was hit hard!

An arc was drawn in mid-air.

Over the infield!

Over the outfield!

"Snapped!"

The ball hit the ball hard above the home run line.
Chapter completed!
