The high-flying ball just above the mound was firmly caught in the glove by Sawamura.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
Once out, no one hits base.
On the pitcher mound, there was a glint of contentment in Sawamura's eyes.
This year's Jiaziyuan, he is not without gains. Compared with the period of the West Tokyo Games, Sawamura's understanding of high school baseball and even baseball itself has changed a lot. For a player of his level, any gain is a huge leap.
Not to mention, great progress!
Before Sawamura, facing the high school's strong fight, he still thought of hitting hard with strength to crush. Now that he has a different perception, he doesn't have to use tough pitching to crush his opponents.
His own talent is not suitable for such an approach.
That being the case, why didn't he find another way.
As long as he can win the game, he will be a good cat if he catches mice.
No matter what kind of pitch, as long as it can solve the batter, it is a good pitch. It doesn't make any difference whether it's a strikeout or a defense to get it...
At this time, Sawamura seemed to have taken off the shackles that he had been wearing, and let go of his whole body.
Just like now, he is also confident in dealing with Akujin.
On the strike area, Akutsu's eyes were very sharp.
One hit!
No matter what, get a single hit first, this is the premise that Xibang High School can attack Sawamura.
Although Akutsu said that in front of all the players at Xibong High School before. But in fact, he was very clear in his heart that the only three people who could really take hits from Sawamura were the next three.
One for him, one for Sano-senpai, and at most Xiao Ling.
In a head-to-head duel with Sawamura, the three of them are likely to get a hit. Others, to get hits, have to rely on some tricks and luck.
Luck is illusory, and small tricks are not necessarily useful for an experienced player like Sawamura.
With Akujin's IQ, he would never pin his hopes on such a phantom thing. He believed more in his own and Sano, the plain's strength.
in the catcher's position.
Chris solemnly looked at Akujin who was waiting in the strike zone, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Before the game, Akujin revealed too little information, and they didn't collect enough information at all. And the opponent's IQ of 200 is scary enough. He should have guessed what we're going to throw next.
Even with Chris's hotness, he couldn't guarantee that he could see through Akutsu's mind.
However, this did not prevent him from developing a pitching strategy against Akutsu.
Since the ball will be seen through, let's throw some **** that have no effect even if they are seen through.
The biggest difference between Sawamura and Akutsu is that although Sawamura has a lot of changing balls, it is not a ball without a decisive victory.
Come on, next ball, quirk ball - change!
Quirk Ball - Change!
For Sawamura, it was a grasp of the ball, with all five fingers firmly grasping the baseball and throwing the ball. Because of the different positions he holds the ball and his naturally soft wrists, the ball will produce different sharp changes.
Even Sawamura and Chris can't predict this change. Even if Akutsu has a super brain comparable to a computer, he can't predict Sawamura's quirk ball - Kai, what changes!
On the pitcher mound, Sawamura stretched out his entire body, all five fingers of his left hand firmly grasped the ball, and then threw the ball with the same motion as before.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball whizzed and reached the top of the plate in the blink of an eye.
On the strike zone, Akutsu decisively chose the path of the ball and swung the bat.
"Ping!"
The small white ball was hit and flew behind Sawamura.
"OK!"
Watching Akutsu hit the ball out, the players in the rest area of Xibang High School were extremely excited.
Behind the pitcher, generally speaking, there is a defensive gap.
Although this kind of ball will be stopped by the hard hand, and the batter will not be able to get to second base, but the first base is still enough.
It's just that this gap is for other high schools, and for Qingdo, the position between their second baseman and shortstop, there is no gap for people to pass through.
"Hip-hop!"
As if a white-blue shadow suddenly appeared in front of the baseball's rebound, Kuramochi stopped the baseball, and then without straightening his waist, he directly gave the ball to Ryosuke Kominato, who came up to meet him.
Ryosuke Kominato caught the ball with his bare hands and passed it to first base.
This electric and flint-like change directly stunned the audience at the scene.
Akutsu threw his bat, and before he even got halfway through the hitting zone to home plate, he was blocked out.
Two outs, no one on base.
"The second tour room of the iron wall!"
"Qingdao's strongest barrier!!!"
"Handsome!"
In the stands, in the rest area of Qingdao, countless friends cheered Kominato Ryosuke and Kuramochi excitedly.
In the position of the catcher, Chris' face was a little ugly.
Weird Ball - Changes are out!
Is this guy named Akutsu really a monster?
That being said, in fact, Chris knew that it was a lot of luck that Akujin could hit the ball just now.
Although Sawamura's quirk ball change has changed, the magnitude of the change is not very large.
Thinking about it, he looked at Sawamura thoughtfully Sawamura shrugged helplessly.
He also has no way of manipulating the change in the quirk ball. Some are extremely sharp, and naturally some are not so sharp...
"With someone on the base bag, it still can't be used as a game-winning ball."
Although Sawamura's strength is extremely powerful, it is not perfect. Just like now, Chris has discovered a small deficiency.
Sawamura now has three tiebreakers.
Speeding Straight, Crossing Ball-Changing, and Quirky Ball-Changing!
Among them, the quirk ball change, in the case of someone on the base bag, it is best not to use it.
The risk is simply too high!
The only ones that can really be used as the deciding ball are the speeding straights and the fork **** - changed!
"After this tournament, it looks like Sawamura will develop a new tiebreaker~"
Without any warning, this thought appeared in Chris's mind. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the days to come, he probably won't be able to develop a new tiebreaker with Sawamura...
After all, this competition is over, and he is about to graduate.
"Fourth, third baseman, Sano."
After two outs, it was the turn of the fourth-ranked Shuzai Sano for the lineup at Xibong High School.
Before the attack, Sano Shuzai kept thinking back to what Akutsu had asked him to do before.
"Senior, you must get a hit first no matter what!"
One hit!
Not a score, just a hit.
I didn't expect that Akujin, who was arrogant on weekdays, would ask him so solemnly.
Now, he has to win this hit no matter what, even if the opponent is a real devil, he will do it.
This is his duty as a Sibon four.
"Come on, Mr. Demon King!"
