"Is the opponent's ball difficult to hit?"
"That's not it."
There are not no pitchers similar to April in the island country. For example, Akatsuki Fukutani from Qingdo High School, and Masamune Hongo from Troll Otsunomaki High School, are similar pitchers.
Compared with the three, April's ball is the best to catch, and there is not much change.
As long as the rhythm is calculated and the bat is aimed at the straight ball, it is generally possible to hit the ball.
The problem is, the weight of that ball.
The small white ball that flew over was like a huge heavy tank.
There is absolutely no way to resist it with human power.
At the very least, Yoichi Kuramochi couldn't imagine that someone could hit the ball head-on.
"A power pitcher?"
Qingdao High School seldom encountered such an opponent.
And this is precisely what Qingdao High School lacks the most.
At Qingdo High School, there are two batters with long hitting ability, one is Sawamura Eijun and the other is Miyuki Kazuya.
But none of them are typical power hitters, and they are able to hit home runs by relying on a combination of strength and skill.
The two of them are not good at simply hitting hard.
"This is trickier!"
Miyuki frowned.
It seems that Qingdao High School has no good countermeasures, and can only choose to consume April's physical strength and the number of balls...
And this is also the result that the players of Qingdao High School are unwilling to choose. If there is a top-middle-bottom strategy, this is undoubtedly the bottom-line approach.
"Change the strategy to entangle the opponent's ball count."
Superintendent Kataoka, wearing sunglasses, obviously thought of Miyuki and the others, and gave a secret signal to Kominato Haruichi in the strike area.
After Haruichi Kominato nodded slightly, he focused all his attention on the pitcher mound.
coming!
The baseball pitched was terrifyingly fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, it was at hand.
Kominato Haruichi, who was determined to entangle the opponent's pitch count, naturally wouldn't swing at this time, so he safely let go of the first ball.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
Two strikes in a row, Kominato Haruichi did not swing. As if he was deliberately provocative, he didn't even pose as ready to swing the bat, but instead stared at his opponent calmly.
That means it seems to clearly tell the opponent, what do you want to do?
To entangle the number of balls!
"As expected of a player from Qingdao High School, he is so dignified even when he executes his tactics!"
Regarding the performance of Kominato Chunshi, the catcher Aokisu of Bunkyo High School also had to write a big word in his heart.
He is really convinced.
Qingdao High School has already made it clear.
The reason why Qingdao High School did this was not that they were really stupid and told their opponents their strategies.
On the contrary, they are just flexing their muscles.
If the strength is confrontational, Qingdao High School will not be afraid of Bunkyo High School.
They have enough experience and confidence to win.
It is precisely for this reason that Kominato Chunichi has made it clear that he wants to entangle with the pitcher in an upright manner.
"As expected of Qing Dao!"
In this way, pressing people with momentum and playing steadily and steadily, it really has the style of the king's high school.
However, don't underestimate us.
Thinking, Aokisugi looked up at April on the pitcher mound.
The position of the next ball is a little trickier...
Since the other party wants to entangle the number of balls, then you should help the other party yourself.
You have already been chased by two strikes, even if it is a tricky ball that is indistinguishable from good or bad, you should be able to swing the bat!
Aokisi's plan is already very obvious.
Since the other party wanted to entangle him, he didn't even give Xiaomin a chance to hit him, and just struck him right here.
on the mound.
After April nodded slightly, he threw the ball directly.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball was like a sharp white light, which instantly traveled through a space of more than ten meters and appeared in front of Kominato Haru City.
coming!
When the small white ball flew out, Kominato Haruichi was already ready.
Now that he watched the baseball fly in, he no longer wanted to show mercy, and swung the bat out of his hand.
"Ping!"
The white ball rubbed the bat and flew out of bounds.
"The outside world!"
Kominato Haruichi on the strike zone didn't seem to be surprised by such a result. After taking a long breath, he continued to focus on the pitcher mound.
The catcher, Aokisugi, frowned and looked at Haruichi Kominato.
This result was somewhat unexpected to him. And what's very bad is that he felt the figure of another person on the body of Kominato Haruichi.
That person is Ryosuke Kominato!
Demon beater, Ryosuke Kominato.
Although these two are brothers, it's not like they have the same style of attack.
If that's the case, they're in a bad situation.
Two more corner kicks were thrown, and in the end, without exception, all of them were deftly hit out of bounds by Kominato Haruichi.
At this time, Aokisugi finally realized that he wanted to rely on such a ball to solve Kominato Haruichi.
Not realistic.
Instead, it will give him more chances and tangle more balls.
"If that's the case, then go head-to-head!"
Next ball, hit the spot! ! !
The more the corner of the ball, in fact, the easier it is to hit out of bounds.
Likewise, the closer the ball is to the center strike zone. The more difficult it is to play out of bounds!
"Believe in your own pitching and crush your opponent with strength, April!"
on the mound.
April nodded slightly when he saw the secret signal Aokisi gave him.
Standing on the mound, he was very different from the one in his daily life. April's personality is very cheerful in private.
With Playboy's Emile, it is a pair of treasure-level partners.
But once he's on the mound, he's instantly serious.
When pitching, there is no nonsense at all.
"Whoosh!"
Insert the white ball straight into the center of the belt.
coming!
Looking at the flying white ball, Haruichi Kominato gritted his teeth and swung the bat out of his hand.
In the previous few blows, his face was as if nothing had happened, but in fact his hands were slightly swollen.
Too heavy!
This is now, if the time is pushed forward, Kominato Haruichi will not be able to catch such a ball at all.
"Ping!"
The stiff palm made his swing less dexterous than before.
Although the ball touched, it did not fly out of bounds.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
Just like that, Kominato was out.
After being out of the game, Kominato Chunichi's eyes were a little slack.
He couldn't help but think of his brother's figure in his mind.
If it's my brother, what kind of results will he come up with?
Kominato Haruichi is almost certain that he must be able to crippled April on the field.
On the surface, he has completely replaced Kominato Ryosuke's position.
But the real situation, he is far from his brother, I am afraid there is still a big gap...
Two outs, no one on base.
"Third stick, pitcher, Sawamura!!"
"Sawamura! Sawamura!!"
"Demon King! Demon King!!!"
Seeing Sawamura Eijun stepping into the strike zone, the scene immediately boiled over.
Even though Qingdao High School has lost two outs in a row now, when I saw Sawamura walking into the strike zone.
The supporters of Qingdao High School still showed their confidence one by one.
It seems that they have confirmed that as long as Sawamura Eijun stands in the strike zone, then he will definitely be able to produce results.
"This way, I'm also under a lot of pressure!"
Eijun Sawamura, who was on the strike zone, muttered in a low voice.
With his experience and experience, naturally he would not take this kind of pressure seriously. However, I couldn't help but complain about the irrational supporters of Qingdao High School.
This is him. If he is replaced by someone with poor psychological quality, maybe he will kill himself if he cheers like this.
"Boy, don't be too embarrassed when you say revenge for Laozi!"
In the rest area, Kuramochi shouted angrily.
Sawamura returned him a big smile.
Just kidding, who doesn't know that he Sawamura Eijun is in the Tokyo area, that's notoriously honest.
It's always been a word!
A pair of eyes locked on April on the mound.
Sawamura Eijun had some understanding of this opponent's habits.
If he's shooting straight balls...
Almost subconsciously, Sawamura Eijun raised the bat in his hand so high that even his two arms were raised above his head.
The whole body twisted into the shape of a marijuana flower!
really!
Eijun Sawamura's actions did not escape the eyes of Bunkyo High School catcher Aoki Sugi.
Seeing Sawamura Eijun's performance like this, he immediately guessed what Sawamura wanted to do?
He wanted to hit the ball directly in a hard-hitting way.
This is not the first time Sawamura has taken such a stance against a power pitcher.
"Think beautifully!"
I already know your habit How can you throw a straight ball at this time for you to hit.
Come on, it's time to pull out the killer tool.
Since the opponent has made it clear that they want to hit the straight ball, then we have to use the change ball.
Matches so far, including in previous matches.
April never used a change ball, and always used straight **** to crush opponents.
But this does not mean that April will only throw straight balls.
He actually mastered the stunt of the fork ball just like Kougu Xiao and Hong Kong Zhengzong.
For pitchers at this level, mastering the fork will allow them to complete a staged evolution...
Until now, April's fork ball has never been used once.
Now that it is suddenly used, it can definitely have a multiplier effect.
If we can successfully strike out Sawamura...
That might be able to regain the momentum of the game in one go.
bring it on!
Aokisugi decisively signaled, and then squatted in the position of the catcher.
April on the mound was not ambiguous at all.
After nodding, he decisively threw the ball.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball appeared in front of Sawamura in an instant, like a beam of laser light.
Good to come!
Originally, Sawamura, who was swinging with all his might, had adjusted his swing to a steady and steady stance at some point.
If it was someone else, he wouldn't be able to guess.
But April's words would definitely throw a fork ball at this time.
"Ping!"
After the small white ball was hit, it flew high, flew out of the field, and landed on the stand in the center field.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
The whole stand was fried.
After two outs, Sawamura Eijun scored a home run!
Shocked the audience!
