v2 Chapter 25： :invite!

In the catcher's position, Chris looked at the white ball behind him in disbelief. 【Full text reading】

The picture he just saw began to appear in his mind involuntarily.

The glove and body covered the pitching left hand, so that he couldn't see where Sawamura was putting the ball at all, so when the ball came over, it looked so fast. And as far as Chris himself feels, Sawamura's ball isn't just about looking fast.

After adopting the new pitching stance, Sawamura's ball speed should definitely increase. The exact amount is unknown to Chris, but from his own position as a catcher, it is no less than one hundred and forty-five.

The ball that originally thought 135 kilometers soared to 145, and the speed increased by 10 kilometers. It is no wonder that Chris's first ball was not suitable.

To explain here, it's not that Sawamura's ball speed is really 145 kilometers, and his pitching is not that fast. It's just that the catcher feels the ball is faster than expected because he can't see where the ball is being dropped. That's what Chris is talking about.

Whether the batter or the catcher is ready, the pitcher starts with the ball in his hand. Although the ball is in the hands of the hitter at the beginning, the timing and speed of the ball can already be judged by the swing of the arm.

Sawamura is different, because his arms are naturally soft, and after adopting a pitching posture that blocks the wall, his entire left-hand pitching action is blocked by his right-hand glove and chest, making the hitter completely invisible to his release point.

If the hitter wants to hit his ball, he must wait for the ball to be released before he can judge the timing. In this way, it is natural to see that Sawamura's ball is much faster than the real ball speed. (The effect is the same.)

These things were just a momentary thing in Chris's mind.

But at this moment, both Sawamura and Miyuki were terrified.

The two hurried forward.

"Master, are you alright?"

"Senior Chris?"

They thought that Chris, who had just recovered, had his injury relapsed.

"I'm fine!"

Looking at the concerned eyes of the two, Chris was moved, but he didn't say a word of thanks on the surface.

"One more ball!"

After talking to Sawamura, he said to Yuyuki again: "Yuyuki, you also stand behind me and have a look. After all, you are still the catcher of the First Army."

This is a lot of information!

Miyuki understood two meanings, one was this ball, he had to watch it in advance to catch it? The second is that he is still the catcher of the First Army, and the focus is now.

As expected of the senior Chris, it really is a cow!

Seeing that Chris was all right, Sawamura was relieved.

Then he threw the second ball in accordance with the pitching position just now.

"Snapped!"

Chris caught the ball firmly.

"As expected of a master!"

Sawamura gave Chris a thumbs up excitedly, and Chris nodded with a smile.

Neither of them mentioned how the situation and the batter were?

The most important thing right now is to catch the ball.

Just like the imaginary duel just now, Chris and Sawamura have already lost.

Two outs, runners at third base, and if Chris missed a catch, Porter would have run straight back to home plate long ago.

The master and the apprentice are also shameful people. How can you mention such a shameful thing?

The cooperation between the two was a tacit understanding, but Yu Xing was a little dumbfounded.

Damn, is this ball so fast and difficult to catch from the front?

"Don't you do a good job of throwing the ball against the wall? When you used the towel before, why did you always pay attention?"

At this time, Kataoka suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling Sawamura.

Boss, you can't joke like that, it's scary, it will scare people to death.

Facing Kataoka's iceberg face wearing sunglasses, Sawamura really didn't know for a while, how he would explain it.

He couldn't tell Kataoka that he was deliberately imitating beginners in order to satisfy Kataoka's self-esteem.

If he said so, it is estimated that Kataoka, who was so embarrassed, would have let him run until the end of the practice without mercy.

Sawamura himself was silent. At this moment, a voice suddenly came out and saved him.

"It should be the feel. When Sawamura throws the ball, the baseball in his hand has a feel. If you have a towel, it may not be suitable."

Chris said.

Sawamura felt that his eyes were suddenly enlightened, as expected of his own master, and he was so good at talking nonsense. (Chris: I don't.)

"Yes, yes!"

He hurriedly borrowed a donkey down the slope.

Kataoka paused, nodded, and believed what Chris said: "Don't practice too much, twenty **** in one set, five sets are enough."

Since Sawamura doesn't feel good when practicing with a towel, he can just use the ball directly.

As long as he can learn it, Kataoka is not bothered about this. Of course, the number of pitches can't be too much.

After Kataoka asked a question, he left gracefully.

Village Chief Sawa let out a sigh of relief, and was too nervous with Kataoka.

"Miyuki, you want to come and try it."

After receiving five or six goals, Chris stood up and gave up the position to Miyuki.

"it is good!"

Miyuki was not polite, and squatted down directly.

"Partner, come on."

Miyuki excitedly shouted at Sawamura.

From the pitching position, Sawamura subconsciously felt a faint chill on his back. Such an enthusiastic Miyuki always gives people a very bad feeling, as if this kid is going to play some tricks.

Of course Sawamura knew that this was impossible, but Miyuki's character was too bad, no matter what he did, Sawamura couldn't feel that he had any good intentions.

Even so, Sawamura didn't say anything. In his heart, he still hoped to pitch with Miyuki.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball came flying, and Miyuki opened his glove and confiscated the ball in his glove.

"Snapped!"

Until the ball entered the glove, Miyuki couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. Catching the ball from Sawamura has a lot to do with it.

"This Saturday, after the semi-finals of the spring competition, the whole team is free to make arrangements. We and Sawamura had a duel at that time, and I hope you will come too."

After Miyuki catches the ball, Chris invites Miyuki.

"Aren't you two good partners?"

Miyuki looked at Chris in confusion.

"In addition to squatting in the catcher position to catch Sawamura's ball, I also want to be on the strike zone and see what Sawamura's ball looks like."

Chris said it naturally.

"After all, I'm also a member of the third grade!"

It has been two years since that match, but in the mind of the third grade he has never passed.

How much have they improved in the past two years in Qingdao?

There is no better touchstone than Sawamura!

"it is good!"

Facing Chris' invitation, Miyuki agreed without much hesitation.

Although he wasn't someone like Kuramochi who would die if he didn't watch the fun, he didn't want to miss the battle of the century between the third-year senior and Sawamura no matter what.

"But the coach won't agree to it."

Sawamura's strength was in a period of rapid improvement. As long as Kataoka's brain circuits were normal, he would not agree to let the third-year batter fight against Sawamura now. Why do we have to wait until Sawamura's strength is at a bottleneck?

"This is a private duel, and it was proposed by Sawamura himself."

Chris didn't know that when Isashiki Jun told him, the plot was cut. Later, it was Sawamura who took the initiative to be true. In the beginning, it was not the third-year senior that Sawamura took the initiative to look for.
