"Seventh stick, catcher, Chris."
Chris stepped into the strike zone step by step.
Masuko, who was opposite him, looked embarrassed.
As the last player, even if he is dealt with by someone, he should share the information of the opponent's pitcher.
But unfortunately, he did not collect any useful information during the previous fight.
Chris nodded at Masuko Toru indifferently, and then walked to the strike zone.
Two outs, no one on base.
The batters behind him are the full-fledged Hakushu and Danbo...
The possibility of being able to score points, Chris no longer expects it. Rather than chasing those unlikely things, the most important task now is to study Haruka Nanami's pitch as soon as possible.
With the deepening of the game, the pitcher, who used to be as famous as Naru Gong Ming, has completely entered the state. Comparing him with the previous one is wrong.
Now it is best to treat Nanami Haruka as a new opponent.
The bat in his hand was raised, and Chris's eyes became extremely focused.
"This guy!"
Feng Xiangao shivered subconsciously in his heart, and he looked at Chris in amazement.
From the very beginning of the game, they were led by the nose with the catcher Qing Dao. Not only when attacking, he was calculated to death. Even when he was on the defensive, it was very uncomfortable to face him.
Fengxiang Aoyi's memories instantly returned to two years ago.
At that time, Sawamura partnered with him. He once asked Sawamura what a really good catcher is like?
Although he was a catcher himself, Sawamura was the captain, soul and coach of the team at that time. It's not surprising that he would ask Sawamura.
Sawamura's appearance at that time, Fengxiang still can't forget to this day.
The expression on Sawamura's face was lingering in fear. To put it bluntly, I am afraid~
It seemed that Sawamura himself felt extremely uncomfortable just thinking about that opponent.
"A really good catcher who can see through your heart. Whatever you want to do, he knows exactly what you want. Can you play chess?"
"know a little!"
"It felt like a beginner playing chess with his teacher."
Beginners playing chess with their teacher?
This sentence, until now, Feng Xiang remembered clearly, but he had never understood what Sawamura meant.
Until this game today, see Chris.
Although there is still a little gap from what Sawamura said, Chris is the first guy in Fengxiang Ouichi who feels that kind of temperament.
He seems to be able to see through his own heart!
It's dangerous to play against a guy like that and try to get rid of him with the ball.
With a plan in mind, Feng Xiang Aoyi gave Qi Hai Yao a secret signal.
Use the pitch to crush the batter and I'll catch it.
on the mound.
A trace of joy flashed in Nanami Haruka's eyes.
This guy, Ao Yi, has finally come to his senses!
At this time, if the catcher gave him a secret signal, he would be very embarrassed. Whether you listen or not, it's not good for the team...
Now the catcher can take the initiative to hand over the power of the ball, which is ideal.
"But you have to do what you say, don't miss out."
"Do not worry!"
At this moment, the hearts of Qi Hai Yao and Feng Xiang Oi seemed to be connected by an invisible thread.
Nanami Haruka pulled away and threw the baseball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball, as if it had life, precisely got into Feng Xiang's open glove.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
One good ball, zero bad.
In the first ball, Chris did not swing, but chose to observe.
Through the observation just now, he felt that Nanami Haruka's ball speed had increased.
Looking up at the ball speed displayed on the electronic scoreboard, Chris's eyes sank.
!
According to the information they collected before, Nanami Haruka's ball speed is between ~, which is about one hundred and four.
The speed of the ball just now clearly exceeded his fastest speed.
"The speed of the ball has indeed increased, by about three kilometers."
The first information is in hand! (This is not the first time Chris has observed it. He has observed it several times before in the rest area and in the waiting position. This evaluation is relatively objective.)
The bat in his hand swings steadily.
Chris didn't seem to be affected by the number of **** at all, just waiting patiently for the ball.
in the catcher's position.
Feng Xiangao felt a little awkward in his heart.
The catcher of Qingdao High School seems to be a bit evil. Didn't even hit the straight ball?
Did you find it?
No, not possible!
Nanami Haruka's 'straight ball' doesn't seem to have any flaws at all.
"Ignore the other party's bluff and continue."
With an idea in mind, Feng Xiang gave Qi Hai Yao a hint to continue.
on the mound.
Nanami Haruka's eyes became fiery.
After entering the same high school as Ouichi, Nanami Haruka privately asked him how Sawamura rated him.
Everyone is curious, and Nanami Haruka is naturally the same.
Nanami Haruka is really curious about the evaluation of Sawamura, the No. 1 middle school student in the country.
"He said that although you are also a genius, I'm afraid it is difficult to really compare with Cheng Gongming. At most, you are a student ace..."
"what?"
Nanami Haruka's nose was crooked with anger asked angrily, "Why?"
"Although your features are good, I'm afraid you won't have them in professional baseball."
"Um."
"The angle of change of the ball path is large, and the ball path changes clearly. If there is no ball speed and power, it is easy for a professional baseball batter to aim. In this way, he has no way to gain a foothold in professional baseball."
put!
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Qi Haiyao threw the ball in his hand with all his strength, as if he wanted to throw a piece of the depression in his heart.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball, as if it had life, flew out.
On the strike zone, Chris had a smile on his face.
Good to come!
In the face of this ball, he swings the bat decisively.
"Ping!"
After the white ball is touched, it bounces out of bounds.
"The outside world!"
The baseball rolled out of bounds, and Feng Xiang didn't think much about it.
It might be a matter of Chris's swing timing!
"Come again!"
He gave Nanami Haruka the code to continue.
"Ping!"
"The outside world!"
"Ping!"
"The outside world!"
After tangled with five or six **** in a row, the **** that flew over were all thrown out of bounds by Chris without exception.
until the last ball!
After the small white ball entered the hand, it suddenly sank.
Chris swung in a hurry and missed the ball.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
The last ball, Chris failed to touch.
on the strike zone.
There was a hint of annoyance in Chris's eyes.
The forked ball suddenly mixed in the straight ball is really hard to judge.
but.
The information was almost collected by him.
Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Chris' face again.
