The first ball should be a straight ball from an inside angle. Tetsu Nishino quickly made a signal.

Although he noticed that the senior team had made corresponding adjustments, Tetsu Nishino thought it was better to focus on the pitcher's condition.

After all, Kazuya Nishino's advantage is his straight shots. You can't give up your biggest advantage as soon as your opponent changes his strategy.

Nishino Kazuya on the pitcher's mound responded. After he made a consistent pitching motion, the baseball was thrown out by him.

The baseball hits home plate fast!

Keeping an eye on the path of the ball, Shogo Kuriyama judged that it was a straight ball and swung the bat decisively.

"Qiang!"

Shogo Kuriyama hit the baseball out of bounds. The inside corner ball was too close to his body, and he was not sure of a hit.

"Out of bounds!"

Aiming at straight shots? Tetsu Nishino thought with a frown.

From Tetsu Nishino's point of view, Kazuya Nishino's inside-angle shot was a bit wide, but Shogo Kuriyama still took the shot.

Based on the judgment of the first game, Tetsu Nishino did not think Kuriyama Shogo was a hitter with poor ball selection ability, so the conclusion is obvious.

The senior team just changed their hitting strategy and started targeting straight balls.

If this is the case, Tetsu Nishino decided to change his ball distribution strategy and try to focus on change balls.

For the second ball, Tetsu Nishino played a slider from the outside corner.

Because the sliding ball not only falls due to the influence of its own gravity, but also moves laterally.

Shogo Kuriyama is a right-handed hitter. Looking towards home plate from pitcher Kazuya Nishino's position, Shogo Kuriyama is on the right side of home plate.

Kazuya Nishino is a left-hand pitcher. He throws a slider outside the strike zone, that is, slightly to the left above home plate. The slider will move laterally to the right when it enters the base, and then it will slide right into the strike zone.

In an area far away from his body, the hitter Kuriyama Shogo may not be able to judge whether the ball will slide into the strike zone.

Inducing the batter to let go or hastily release the bat.

In either case, the outside slider can confuse the batter.

The premise is that the changes in the slider thrown by the pitcher are enough to scare the batter.

Kazuya Nishino followed the signal and threw the slider, but Shogo Kuriyama remained unmoved and watched the ball slide out of the strike zone.

On the next pitch, Tetsu Nishino added a slider, this time a low slider in the strike zone. As a result, Kazuya Nishino threw the ball too low and it slid out of the strike zone.

Kuriyama Shogo saw it clearly and didn't swing the bat at all.

Two consecutive sliders were bad pitches, and Tetsu Nishino hesitated.

A changeup that can't be thrown into the strike zone has no deterrent effect on hitters.

Should we add a slide ball? Nishino Tetsu was struggling a bit internally. He finally decided to give it another try.

This time it was a low slider in the outside corner of the strike zone.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

Another slider that didn't slide into the strike zone.

Pitcher Kazuya Nishino gritted his teeth and showed a "sorry" expression. His slider suddenly became worse and he missed three change-ups in a row.

Tetsu Nishino was a little helpless. If the pitcher failed to make a shot after the catcher distributed the ball, the catcher had nothing to do but continued to comfort the pitcher.

3 bad goals and 1 good goal.

Only straight balls can be used to adjust the pitcher's condition.

However, as soon as the straight ball was released!

"Qiang!"

Kuriyama Shogo, who was already prepared, adjusted his batting posture, swung the bat decisively, and hit the baseball for a one-run hit.

No one is out and there is someone on first base.

The second batter to come up was Kyotaro Ichikawa.

Tetsu Nishino was worried that the batter would bunt, so he signaled for the infield to advance.

He glanced at Ichikawa Kyotaro and found that Ichikawa Kyotaro did not turn the bat sideways, but still held the bat high.

It shouldn't be a hit, Nishino Tetsu thought.

Because Nishino Kazuya is a left-hand pitcher, facing the direction of first base, he can well contain the runner on first base, so the runner Shogo Kuriyama did not dare to leave the base significantly.

Moreover, the hitter Ichikawa Kyotaro plays left-handed, and the hit is likely to be in the direction of third base. If the hit is not done well, it is easy to be caught by the approaching infielder for a double play.

Tetsu Nishino prepared the ball well.

First goal.

Inside angle straight ball.

Kazuya Nishino waved his arm to throw the ball at the right time.

"call out"

When the baseball flies to home plate.

"Bang!"

Ichikawa Kyotaro suddenly turned the bat sideways, flicked it, and pointed the baseball towards first base!

"Eh?"

The attack without warning made Nishino Tetsuya and Nishino Kazuya stunned, standing there in shock.

"Da da da!"

The baseball was rolling, and Kuriyama Shogo and Ichikawa Kyotaro were both running the bases quickly.

"What the hell?!"

In desperation, first baseman Shogo Konda complained and could only rush forward to pick up the ball.

Before and after Shogo Konda stepped up, there was no fielding player on first base.

The two were arrested and just stood there watching.

So second baseman Oishi Reitama, who was guarding between the first and second bases, hurriedly went to first base to fill in. He caught a pass and blocked Ichikawa Kyotaro before he entered the bases.

One out.

But it also allowed Kuriyama Shogo to advance to second base smoothly.

After successfully advancing to the scoring circle, Ichikawa Kyotaro felt that his sacrifice of hitting was not a loss. The next step was to see whether the subsequent bases-clearing batter could get a hit.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, with one out and someone on second base.

The next batter, three-hitters, is Shion Arimori.

After standing in the batter's box, Shion Arimori pursed her lips and raised the bat. He seemed a little nervous because he became a little concerned inside.

This is the mentality when facing the game.

The first pitch, Kazuya Nishino's high slider to the outside corner, did not enter the strike zone, and Shion Arimori made no move.

no way.

Tetsu Nishino can only take risks.

Second ball.

"call out"

"Crack!"

"Good shot!" the referee ruled.

The slider in the center.

Shion Arimori just lowered her waist slightly and still watched.

Do you really not play change balls? Tetsu Nishino was very confused.

Now the number of balls was 1 bad ball and 1 good ball, and there was still room for testing. Tetsu Nishino decided to lure Shion Arimori with a high bad ball in the outside corner.

result.

"Bad ball!"

Watching off again!

Should we fight or not? Tetsu Nishino felt inexplicably irritated.

Completely confused about the batter's intentions, Tetsu Nishino could only calm down silently. As a catcher, he was confused first, so how could the pitcher throw the ball?

In fact, I felt annoyed at first and then happy.

After letting out two slow sliders, Shion Arimori's reaction to the high-speed straight ball slowed down, and she was a little confused so she didn't hit the ball. In the end, she missed a bad pitch, which was pretty good.

Nishino Kazuya on the pitcher's mound became slightly nervous. He turned around and picked up the magnesium powder on the ground behind him, squeezed it and turned around to wait for the next pitch.

2 bad goals and 1 good goal.

Next ball.

Let's throw the inside angle shot. Tetsu Nishino gave the signal, he wants to score a good number.

Nishino Kazuya took a deep breath and took a shot!

"Qiang!"

The baseball was rubbed to the lower part and bounced to the upper back.

"Out of bounds!"

The ball was thrown very well, accurately hitting the inside corner of the strike zone, but it was still hit.
Chapter completed!
