v2 Chapter 119： : Stealing bases and pinning

No outs, man at first base.

"Fourth, catcher, student Wu Yuan."

The runner is Soichiro Mima, and the batter is the fourth, Takehara.

This is the situation facing Qingdao.

Although Mei Ma was only on first base, the pressure he brought to Qing Dao was still not small.

After all, he ran back to home plate by trotting and stealing bases with two outs before.

With three full outs now available, the odds of him returning to home plate are greatly increased.

Not only the players of Qingdao feel this way, but also the fans and melon eaters in the stands. They watched the changes on the court nervously, and there was a sense of tension that was about to come.

This game is so exciting.

Although I look forward to Sawamura and Mima's fight against each other, I have to say that this kind of showdown after Mima's base is even more exciting.

A beautiful horse with extraordinary speed, against Sawamura, who has a perfect score.

They will dedicate a feast to everyone, what kind of feast?

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki's face was somewhat troubled. Mei Ma's on base is not easy, he only needs to steal once, and he can return to home plate with almost a certainty.

With Mima Soichiro's speed, this task is not impossible, as long as he finds the right time, he has a very good chance to succeed in stealing bases. And once he steals base, he can walk himself back to home plate with two outs.

White Dragon Academy can also take the opportunity to take the lead by one point.

In such a stalemate game, whoever takes the lead first will have the advantage of the game.

"You need to stop him!"

The task is in front of you, but easier said than done? That is one of the 12 Heavenly Kings who is famous for his speed. If his stealing base was so easy to be restrained by others, he would not be as famous as he is now.

"pass it to me!"

On the mound, Sawamura looked confident.

Next, Sawamura prepares to pitch.

At first base, Mei Ma moved towards second base just like a stroll in the garden.

To be honest, he was not very far from the first base. That distance was much closer than the average runner. Compared with the other runners in the White Dragon Academy, it was about a meter closer.

From this distance alone, the United States and horses are not much of a threat.

"Whoosh!"

But very strange, Sawamura stunned to throw a diversion ball.

This pinning ball was obviously beyond Meima's expectations. His body froze for a while, but he quickly returned to first base with a stride.

"Safety!"

In the eyes of others, Sawamura's restraint is very inexplicable. At that distance, it was very easy for Mei Ma to return to first base, and he didn't even have to fall like the others.

But at first base, Mei Ma's face was a little ugly.

Here I have to explain the stealing base of the US horse. He's different from the average runner in stealing bases. The stealing of American horses is not so much a stealing, but rather a running.

When other runners want to steal bases, they are facing the pitcher, with their legs splayed and their weight lowered.

This position is the most standard stealing base position, including Sawamura and Kuramochi, who all use this stealing base position.

In this posture, whether he is moving to the next base, or when he is restrained and blocked, he immediately counterattacks back to his original base, which is very flexible.

It is really capable of attacking and retreating, perfect for stealing bases.

But this posture does not allow the runner to achieve the fastest speed! You go from crossing your legs and re-transitioning to running position, and it takes time.

In the process of stealing bases, even a fraction of a second is extremely precious, and wasting time is absolutely not allowed.

In response to this, Mei Ma developed his own stealing position.

That's the kind he just performed, leaving first base like a walk and slowly advancing towards second base.

It seems that his distance from the base bag is not as far as the average runner, and he will definitely suffer in the process of stealing bases.

But it's not. His kind of walks seem to be casual, but the reality is the opposite. His every step is carefully calculated.

He adjusts his pace to the pitcher's rhythm, taking small steps toward second base. At this time, the biggest difference between him and the average runner is that the average runner is stationary, and he is accelerating to the second base, although the family is very slow. By the time the pitcher made up his mind to pitch, that is to say, when the best opportunity to steal bases came, the American horse had already moved to the place where the runner was about to start.

At this time, the general runner's body is still, and he has to change his legs to a running position before he can continue to advance to the second base.

But Mei Ma doesn't need it. His body is constantly accelerating, so that he can reach his peak speed faster than the average runner. At the same time, because he doesn't have to change his legs from crossed to running position, his speed is even higher.

Of course, here's a point to declare, the speed of the US horse itself is very fast, and it does not rely on skills alone.

Talented speed and this kind of skill let the beautiful horse steal base, fast as lightning.

Until now, Mima has never met a pitcher who says he can stop his steals.

But just now, Sawamura cast a check on the node of his acceleration, completely destroying his rhythm.

To know that at that time he left the base, and not very far. Compared with the average runner who is preparing to steal bases, he is more than one meter behind.

At that distance, it is expected that the pitcher will not be alerted. But why would Sawamura throw a pinball at that time?

Mei Ma was puzzled.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura didn't care.

What kind of weird player doesn't exist on the field of the major leagues. Sawamura has personally seen someone find a sprint champion, Contemporary Run. That speed, **** it!

The ghosts are all sad.

Sawamura has also seen runners like Mima. According to the pitcher's rhythm, keep moving to the base that you want to advance, so that your body is in a state of acceleration.

Dealing with such runners is actually very simple.

Just disrupt their stealing rhythm.

Everything has a price, like the kind of quick stealing base, the same price is not small. The more subtle things are, the more they need to be calculated accurately. The same is true for that kind of stealing base, if you take a wrong step, you can't move.

Taking advantage of Mima's readjustment of the rhythm, Sawamura threw the first ball.

Takehara did not swing the bat.

"nice shot!"

One good ball, zero bad.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki wanted to applaud Sawamura.

So beautifully done!

He didn't understand Sawamura's restraint just now.

However, he could see the effect. The extraordinary speed of the beautiful horse was nailed to the first base, and he could not steal the base.

No need to ask, Miyuki also knew that this must be the inexplicable restraining ball that Sawamura had just done.
