Suddenly fell!

The bat and ball missed each other!

While the hitter's swing misses.

"Crack!"

Tetsu Nishino caught the ball just below the strike zone.

Surprising finger ball!

Change ball!

Set off by Ichikawa Kyotaro's annoyed expression was the resonant voice of Chief Judge Higashi Takuji.

"nice shot!"

"Strikeout! Batter out!"

Supervisor Dong Tuo just finished speaking.

"Yeah!"

On the pitcher's mound, Kazuya Nishino clenched his fist and shouted.

"Two out!" Tetsuya Nishino shouted.

"Nice shot, Kazuya-kun!"

"marvelous!"

"Two out, two out."

The fielding players of the first grade team also shouted.

The teammates sitting on the bench cheered even more. They all knew what two outs meant for the team's defense.

Two out.

And there's still no one on base.

This reduced most of the pressure on the defense of the hastily formed first-year team.

Because in this case, the next batter in the senior class has much fewer tactical options and can only actively swing the bat to get hits.

All the fielding players on their first-year team can concentrate on dealing with the batter, greatly increasing their chances of getting the third out.

Getting through this half-inning without a score is no longer an extremely difficult challenge, which is why the first-year players are so excited.

Hiroki, who had been observing Tetsu Nishino's matchmaking, was also surprised. Hiroki found that Tetsu Nishino's matchmaking was really beyond his expectation.

The seemingly reckless matchmaking actually contains careful consideration.

Two hitters.

The preparation for 6 straight balls.

Just for that winning cross-fingerball.

Using only one change-up ball, not only did he get the second out, but he also distracted the subsequent batter's attention from the fork ball and neglected to defend against the straight ball.

Bold and clever.

Conflicting ball-matching strategies.

Does Tetsu-kun really think this way? Hiroki wonders if he is overthinking it. After all, Tetsu Nishino is just a beginner at the catcher position, so how could he possibly think of such a bold idea of ​​​​distributing the ball.

However.

If Tetsu Nishino could know what Hiroki-senpai was thinking, he would definitely be very surprised.
