v2 Chapter 4: : Right, Ace!

In the cowshed of Yokozuna Middle School.

When Yamanaka came back, Coach Takeda asked him, "How do you feel?"

"I just thought that the ball would hit me."

Kanosuke Yamanaka smiled bitterly, and then calmly analyzed: "It's weird, even if you know your eyes have been deceived, it's still not easy to deal with this kind of ball, your body will react naturally! The ball, we need to adapt to one to two rounds of play."

Takeda shook his head: "We don't have that much time, and no one knows if the opponent will suddenly come up with a new ball path. One round, only one round, you must get used to this angle of the ball as soon as possible and score points. Row!"

With that said, he turned to look at the ace in his own team: "Before that, Uesugi, I'll leave it to you."

Uesugi pushed down his glasses with his ring finger and said calmly, "I will try my best."

In the second half of the game, Akagi attacked.

"First bat, first baseman, Oda Benson."

"Wow, let me see how capable the so-called twelve heavenly kings are."

Oda dragged his bat to the strike zone.

At this time, Uesugi, the pitcher, was already on the pitcher mound, waiting for him.

"Please advise!"

Oda first respectfully greeted the referee. Then he turned around and stared at Uesugi with a cold expression on his face.

On the pitcher's mound, Uesugi was wearing glasses, and the sun was shining from a side angle, reflecting on Uesugi's glasses, making his eyes invisible.

"Whoosh!"

Oda, who was waiting for him, didn't react when the baseball appeared in the catcher's glove.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Subconsciously licking his chapped lips, Oda looked at the gentle figure on the pitcher mound in disbelief.

Is this guy a monster too?

So fast!

It's not how fast Uesugi's ball is, but Uesugi's pitching action. In order to pursue their own ball speed, pitchers generally pull the whole pitching action very wide. Uesugi was different. When he pitched the ball, it was as if he was throwing the ball. He simply raised his leg, waved his arm, and pitched the ball. The whole action is very simple, standard, and there is no cumbersome action at all.

But it was this action that saved 0.2 seconds when Uesugi pitched the ball.

This 0.2 seconds is too deadly. You must know that the baseball flew from the pitcher's hand to the catcher's glove, and it took only about 0.5 seconds in total. At this time, the pitcher's pitching action saved 0.2 seconds. What is the concept?

The batter starts to prepare to hit from the pitcher's pitching action. At this time, the pitcher saves 0.2 seconds of pitching action, which can disrupt the batter's hitting rhythm almost 100%.

When Sawamura first led Akagi to participate in the Nagano prefecture competition, he used the exact same trick.

Although this trick looks good, it is not very promising. If you shorten your pitching, you definitely won't be able to get your full speed out of it. This 120-kilometer ball can only be used against middle school students.

Going any further, it won't work at all. Not to mention the monsters in the professional field, even in high school, there are many batters who wait for the ball to be at hand before swinging. For such a hitter, this ball is no different from courting death.

It is for this reason that Sawamura used this kind of ball at the beginning, bluffing a bit, and did not continue to develop it. Sawamura can understand this, there is no reason that Yokozuna's Director Takeda and Uesugi don't know.

If you know, you can still vote like this.

This is very interesting!

After watching Sawamura's pitching, despite Sawamura's extraordinary pitching ability, the yokozuna didn't feel like he was being chased at all, and they still played at their own pace.

This is to keep the same and respond to all changes.

Sawamura's brows furrowed. Sure enough, the experience of the national championship was not fake. Although these children are not big, their psychological quality has been honed very well.

"Ping!"

Oda was forced to change the rhythm, reluctantly swinging the bat, and the ball was thrown crookedly.

The ball that flew out required speed but no speed, and no power for strength, and was easily picked up by the third baseman of Yokozuna.

"Out!"

After Oda was out, Yamaguchi encountered the exact same situation as Oda. His swing rhythm was disrupted, he hit an infield rebound, and was blocked out.

Two outs, no one on base.

"The third stick, catcher, Feng Xiang."

Even in the face of Fengxiang, Yokozuna didn't mean to change his tactics, Uesugi still shot that kind of fast-paced ball.

Feng Xiang did not swing the bat at first and was chased.

On the second ball, Uesugi threw the ball, and Feng Xiang swayed at the right rhythm, but unfortunately he still missed the ball.

When his swing was over, baseball was long overdue.

The rhythm of this ball was not advanced, but came just right. The normal rhythm of switching from fast tempo to sudden change gives the ball the effect of a change-up.

Fengxiang, two strikes were chased.

On the strike zone, Feng Xiang let out a long breath and forced himself to calm down. He was a little rhythmical. The most important thing at this time is to be calm. He has to play the ball calmly.

The speed of the ball is 120, don't worry, he can wait for the ball to be released before swinging.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball came flying, and Feng Xiang, who was determined, did not swing the bat for a long time.

This made Yamanaka in the position of the catcher have an ominous premonition, and his ominous premonition soon came true.

"Ping!"

The baseball entered his hand, and Feng Xiang was as fast as a thunderbolt, swinging his bat.

The white baseball was hit and landed between the third baseman and shortstop. Neither of them had time to stop the baseball, but could only watch the baseball pass in front of them and fly into the outfield.

Feng Xiang took this opportunity to get to first base.

Two outs, man at first base.

"Fourth, pitcher, Sawamura-san."

Seeing Sawamura walking into the strike zone, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience of the Brotherhood of the Heartless.

"It's up to you, Sawamura!"

"It's time, come and develop your strength!"

"Master Ace!!!"

This scene caught the Yokozuna players by surprise.

What's going on? How come it was Sawamura's turn to strike, and the noise in the audience became so loud.

Yokozuna's cowshed.

Supervisor Takeda said to himself: "Uesugi, from this noise, you can feel it too? The people of Akagi trust their four sticks so much. If you can..."

In the position of the catcher, Yamanaka decisively gave Uesugi a signal.

Kill him head on!

At this time, if you can kill Sawamura head-on, it will definitely make Akagi's momentum drop a lot.

On the pitcher mound, Uesugi nodded silently, and at the same time he quietly adjusted his pitching posture.

On the strike area, Sawamura's eyes were bright and scary.

"The fast-paced pitch was hit, what are you going to do next? Uesugi-senpai!"
