v2 Chapter 87： : The problem of ball speed

On that day, all the batters of the main force of the Qingdao First Army came on the field.

The record is not ideal.

There were a total of 11 batters in Qingdao High School, who hit the ball. There were more than 10 people, and they didn't even touch the ball.

This is not a batting table. All the batters of the Qingdao First Army have faced Kataoka at least three times. Like Yucheng and Sawamura, the top ranked players even played four times.

On this day, Kataoka threw more than 200 balls.

"It really is a monster!"

When Jun Isashiki finally commented on Kataoka, this is what he said. Kataoka's pitch, right to the end, was very powerful.

The eleven people who hit the ball are Kuramochi, Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Isashiki, Captain Formation, Sawamura, Masuko, Chris, Miyuki, Hakushu, Sakai and Haruichi Kominato.

Nanmu-senpai, including Akatsuki Furugu and the others, didn't even touch the ball in the end.

Three hits, three strikeouts.

Curved **** dropped from the sky, mixed straight balls, and the ball speed of more than 140, make it difficult for batters to seize the opportunity to swing.

The hit here is not a hit, it's just that the hitter hits the ball without the use of a bat!

Of course, hits are not completely absent. In the second round, Captain Tetsuya formed a hit.

Four hits, two hits.

Jeongseong-chul also used his own strength to show the ambition of Qingdo High School's four clubs.

In addition to his two hits, there were five others who had hits.

They are Miyuki, Chris, Sawamura, Isashiki Jun, and Kominato Ryosuke.

In the face of the luxurious lineup of the entire Qingdo High School first team, Kataoka only dropped 7 hits.

"This man, until now, still maintains the terrifying strength of a professional player!"

Ochiai originally watched Kataoka, and only had a little admiration, but now he is completely amazed.

In high school, Ochiai also played baseball. His best record was reaching the second round of a major tournament as a replacement for the rotation.

Although in the coaching career path, Ochisui is not small. But in the era of players, Ochiai is a veritable weak chicken.

From his standpoint, it is impossible to understand why Kataoka did not directly participate in the professional baseball draft, but chose to become the supervisor of Qingdo High School.

If nothing else, the salary gap alone is not something that ordinary people can refuse.

Even if Qingdo High School treats Kataoka well, it is impossible to give him more than the salary of a professional player.

Even if Supervisor Kataoka is really interested in being a supervisor, he can wait until he retire from the profession.

Having professional experience and fame will make Kataoka's road to supervision even smoother.

"What an incredible man!"

After the training, Supervisor Kataoka took the initiative to find Sawamura.

"Your pitching ability is already very perfect! If you want to go to the next level, there are two ways to choose."

two ways?

Although Sawamura had already sensed some signs of this incident, he still wanted to hear what Director Kataoka had to say.

"After you have mastered the new pitching posture, your current pitching, in the eyes of the batter, is extremely fast. In addition, your own ball speed is not slow, and among high school pitchers, you can also be regarded as a fastball pitcher. Two-pronged approach Under the circumstance, your ball speed is sufficient. When the ball speed is sufficient, you only need to sharpen your change ball, and your strength can naturally be improved to a level.”

In fact, Sawamura himself knows this suggestion without Kataoka saying it.

This is what he did in his previous life, tempering the colorful changing balls, and then using the ever-changing ball paths to solve his opponents.

However, this approach is flawed.

"Of course, there are some limitations to this approach. After all, the most terrifying thing for really powerful hitters is their terrifying intuition. As long as the ball comes over, no matter what changes, they just want to hit the ball out. Faced with such a A batter, no matter how sharp a change the ball is, it's not enough."

Hearing Kataoka's words, Sawamura's eyes lit up.

Although he already had a relatively clear idea in his heart, he was still not as straightforward as Kataoka.

It turned out that the path I chose at the beginning was flawed from the very beginning...

"What should I do if faced with such a hitter?"

Because of Kataoka's frankness, Sawamura was also outspoken, and he asked immediately.

"Don't you have a powerful weapon in your own hands?"

What?

Sawamura looked at Kataoka in confusion.

His appearance gave Kataoka a rare sense of accomplishment.

Although he himself was prompted by Ochiai, he had a clear idea. But being able to educate Sawamura really made this strict supervisor very happy.

"You are afraid that it will be difficult for you to reach the speed of Xiaogu Xiao's ball all your life. It has nothing to do with personal efforts. In my most prosperous state, I have never honed the ball speed to more than 145 kilometers. This is the body God has given us. But God is fair, especially for gifted people, don't underestimate your original quirk ball. Although the change of this ball is small, as long as it is well tempered, it is enough Allows you to deal with any batter."

Sawamura never imagined that Kataoka would suggest him to practice the quirk ball!

The quirk ball also has limitations. If the opponent's swing is too strong, it is very likely that the quirk ball will be swept away.

Of all Sawamura's balls, the quirk ball is a tough one, but it's definitely not a high-level product.

"Each pitcher has its own unique characteristics, and abandoning their own characteristics is equivalent to abandoning the fundamentals. First, let's hone the ultimate moves that you can hone in. As for your concerns, it is not that there is no way to solve them."

The weakness of the quirk ball can be solved!

This was too shocking for Sawamura. He stared at Kataoka with fiery eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Speed, power, good pitching rhythm."

Kataoka said solemnly.

Sawamura was confused.

Ball speed, ball power, pitching rhythm!

Isn't that the most basic thing for a pitcher? He has never relaxed in this regard. UU Reading

"Have you thought about using the quirk ball as the deciding ball?"

Without waiting for Sawamura to ask, Kataoka said directly as if he saw through Sawamura's heart.

These words, like a dull bell, roared in Sawamura's mind.

Yes, he never thought about taking the quirk ball as the deciding ball!

Because he has other tiebreakers~

Who would take a low-level ball as the deciding ball?

Even if Xiao Gu Xiao's straight ball is sharp to that extent, his future decisive ball will not be a straight ball.

"Try to use the quirk ball as the deciding ball, and try your best on every ball. After that, your speed will have a windfall, maybe."
