Chapter 115 13 Foreign Academy Battle [-]
Seeing Su Qing unarmored at second base, Hirakawa sighed, as expected, it would be better to walk directly.But it's too late to regret it now, let's find a way to win the last number of outs in this round first.
It's not always nice to have a four-hitter on second base.
Although Harada's performance in the Western Conference Finals was not very good, he only hit one hit.But anyone who has actually watched the video knows that it is because Harada's face is too dark.
Harada is a right-handed hitter, so it would be better to have a slider first.
If it were an ordinary pitcher, the last ball had just been thrown out, and this ball would definitely not be thrown again with the same pitch, but Sato nodded firmly and threw the ball.
Harada looked at the very tempting slider as it skimmed over the strike zone, and ultimately didn't swing.
"ball."
Harada was very thankful that he chose to wait and see for the first ball, but with the slider just now, he would definitely be deceived.A slider that looks like it's going into the strike zone just happens to go out of the strike zone.
But the bad thing is not very complete. If Harada catches the catch, the ball can be pulled back.
Harada shook his head, why did he suddenly have an occupational disease attack?
Hirakawa felt it was a pity at this time, such a good slider did not trick the hitter into swinging, the loss must have been too great.If the slider doesn't work, use a changeup.Come.
Sato nodded, stretched his right arm, and threw the ball.
Harada, who is also sensitive to speed, also discovered the difference in this shot like Cal Rose and Shirakawa.
Changeup?The co-orbital degree is indeed very high.In terms of common track, it is not inferior to Cheng Gongming's changeup ball at all, but the speed of the ball is too slow, leaving enough reaction time for the hitter, and it is generally difficult to be fooled.
But Harada knew that Sato's changeup didn't beat hitters by speed difference.
Harada made enough preparations, but when he really swung the bat, he was still frightened by the change of the ball, and somehow went down the inside corner.
"Missing the swing! Strike!"
Hirakawa stood up and threw the baseball back to Sato.
Ah~ It's good that the changeup ball can still be used.
Sato's changeup changes from left to right, and it will be more popular against left-handed hitters.And Dao Shi's starting lineup has only two left hitters!When preparing for the battle before the match, Hirakawa was worried and his head hurt. It was too miserable that half of the most powerful weapon was scrapped.
However, three batting seats have been summarized so far. From the effect point of view, the changeup ball is also very effective against Daoshi's right-handed hitters.The next match can also be bolder.
After re-adjusting his body shape, Harada stood back in the strike zone. He was chasing and swinging the bat to the inside corner. He almost lost his footing and almost fell down.
The possibility of using a straight ball after the changeup will be a little higher.Harada thought so, and then he was slapped in the face with the next ball.
"Changeup! Hitter doesn't swing! Hit! Two good and one bad!"
After the changeup, it is still a changeup. Is this using the changeup as a straight ball?
Then Sato threw another changeup, and Harada almost swung.Looking at the position where the catcher's glove was placed, Harada called it dangerous.
Harada had been waiting for the straight ball that might give him the lore after two consecutive shots, but until now it was a changeup, and Harada felt a little bit backed down.
But Harada also knew that he must not relax his vigilance, otherwise he would be killed by a sudden straight ball.
coming!
There is a clear upward trend in the velocity of new pitches thrown by Sato.Harada naturally thought it was the straight ball he had been waiting for for a long time. At this time, he had completely forgotten that Sato's slider had the same speed as the straight ball.
"Missed swing! Strikeout!"
Unwillingly, Harada returned to the rest area with his bat in hand.He couldn't figure it out. Is there really a pitcher who doesn't shoot the straight ball but only the change ball?
Su Qing, who ran back from second base, patted Harada on the shoulder. He could imagine Harada's mood when he hit just now. He had to guard against this and that.This is the charm of a change-up pitcher, which always leaves the batter at a loss.
Here, Yang Xueyuan's lineup has also come to their core position, but from the point of view of lineup, Yangxueyuan's lineup is absolutely not bad, especially their core lineup, which is very competitive.
In the last game, their four-stick and five-stick hits were five threes and five fours, respectively.The RBIs are 2 and 3 respectively, and two people have won more than 2/3 of the team's RBIs.
It is obviously unrealistic to solve them with just a straight ball.
Yoshimura hit Narimiya Naruto's first straight ball out of bounds. Through the round of hitting just now, Yoshimura could clearly feel the difference between Narimiya Ming's straight ball and other pitchers' straight balls.
The fastest ball of their opponent's ace in the last round can also reach 140, but the feeling is completely different!Cheng Gongming's straight ball is more visually impactful!There is also the tail strength of the ball. If you don’t hit it, you don’t know it. When you hit it, you are startled. Yoshimura didn’t stand still after hitting it.
Another point, Yoshimura is not very sure at the moment, Narimiya Ming's straight ball seems to be shaking when it hits the base?
When he threw the first ball just now, Narimiya didn't actually use his full strength. The ball speed was only a little over 140, but after the first ball was hit out of bounds, he became more serious.
The ball speed directly reached 148. This obvious speed difference caused Yoshimura to miss the swing.
He was chased by two good shots as soon as he came up, and Yoshimura's face was a bit bitter. Although he didn't expect to hit Narimiya Ming's ball well in the first bat, wasn't this a complete defeat?Just a straight ball, is he about to be struck out?
Narimiya, who was in a good mood, shook off the two straight balls provided by Harada and asked for a changeup ball for Yoshimura.No matter which pitcher he faces, Cheng Gongming has a competitive heart.
You, Sato, are not the only one who can throw a changeup!
"Change ball! Missed swing! Strikeout! Three strikeouts! This is Narumiya's third strikeout of the game!"
The commentator in charge of this game is much better than the commentator Inami encountered in the last game. This commentator believes that if Narimiya can complete the pitch, the strikeouts won will definitely break the conference record.
That's right, this commentary already has the potential of Narimiya Fuki.
On the way back to the rest area, Yoshimura's mind was full of the changeup ball just now. The trajectory of the straight ball in the early stage was exactly the same as that of the straight ball. When it was about to hit the base, it fell at a high speed, which caught people off guard and directly missed the swing.Compared with their ace Sato's changeup, it is not bad at all, no, it is more confusing!
Yoshida, who stood up from the waiting area, waved to Yoshimura who was walking towards him, hoping to get some information from him, but Yoshimura ignored Yoshida completely and walked back to the rest area as if he had been fascinated by a ghost. .
Isn't this guy just struck out?As for being so distraught?
Yoshida, who hasn't seen Narimiya's pitch yet, is still in the mood to mock his teammates.
But after 3 minutes, another sane person walked off the strike zone.
"How could that ball be a good ball!" He even shouted.
After the two, Morishima was struck out by three straight balls.With five strikeouts in a row, the entire stadium was boiling.Cheng Gongming kept his head up when he ran down the mound.
After resting for less than 10 minutes, the people from Yangxueyuan had to return to the court again.
Hirakawa, who squatted back to the back of the home plate, once again fell into deep anxiety. As early as the pre-match meeting, they paid attention to the issue of rhythm.
Daoshi's rhythm was too fast, and it took less than 15 minutes to hold on, and one and a half rounds were over.And when it's their turn to attack, they will slow down the rhythm and let the opponents stay on the court as much as possible.
After this double rhythm, the players will become more and more exhausted. In the end, even if they have not lost points, they will fall into anxiety, and then they will make defensive mistakes and be completely defeated by Daoshi.
This is what Hirakawa emphasized before the game, that is, you can't follow Daoshi's rhythm, and you must delay as much time as possible in their offensive rounds.
But Cheng Gongming's efficient pitching, coupled with the fact that their men couldn't even touch the ball, made them unable to delay even if they wanted to, which was too difficult.
"Five bats, third baseman, Yoshizawa."
That's right, Yoshizawa once again returned to Daoshi's core line.
Since joining Daoshi with Su Qing, Cheng Gongming has less and less energy on hitting, and recently he doesn't even bother to swing a bat.A blind cannon with a good sense of impact has now degenerated into a suicide stick.
And Supervisor Guoyou couldn't stand it anymore, so now Cheng Gongming's batting time has dropped to seventh.Although Cheng Gongming was very angry, he didn't go to fight with Supervisor Guoyou in the end.
For him now, pitching is more important, because if he doesn't work hard, he may even lose his ace position!
When Cheng Gongming thought that he might lose his ace back number in the last year of high school, he worked harder and didn't care about blows.Su Qing is not a human being, but he is. Ordinary people who want to stand shoulder to shoulder can only look at concentration and hard work.
The excellent performance in the Western Conference Finals allowed him to regain his defensive position and strike position, Yoshizawa thinks so.But for the current Yoshizawa, the position is not so important.
What matters is performance!
He is about to graduate. As far as Inomi can go now, his high school baseball career will still be as far as it goes. At this point, he must now fight for the rest of his life!
If possible, Yoshizawa wants to go directly to professional baseball.When he was still in Tokyo, professional managers had approached him, but of course he didn't agree to any of them.
Because in the mouths of those professional managers, his draft market is not good. Even if he is selected, it may be after more than a dozen names. It's just the principle of casting a net to catch more fish.
Although the foreseeable future is not so good, Yoshizawa believes that this future is not unchangeable!As long as he continues to achieve results in Koshien with his bat, he believes his future will be brighter and brighter!
"Pong!"
"A straight ball thrown by Sato was caught by Yoshizawa! The ball was hit to the third base defense and went out!"
When it comes to hitting straight shots, Yoshizawa is definitely an expert in Daoshi.Although the ball was only squeezed just now, it was still pierced through the defense zone by the vigorous Yoshizawa.
Standing on the first base bag, Yoshizawa burst into laughter. Now every hit and every RBI is very important to him, and he must firmly seize every remaining opportunity!
Looking at Yoshizawa who was standing on first base, Hirakawa felt that he had a cerebral hemorrhage just now, so he would play a straight ball when facing a hitter like Yoshizawa.However, he was equipped with a changeup before, and Yoshizawa also missed his swing. He should still have the trajectory of the changeup in his mind. How could he grasp the timing so well?unscientific.
But it doesn't matter even if he hits the base, Yoshizawa's running speed is not fast, that is to say, there is a possibility of manipulation.
After Yamaoka stepped onto the strike zone, Hirakawa made a pre-thought-out signal, and after Sato nodded, he was ready to catch the ball.
However, when the ball was about to hit the base, Yamaoka suddenly swung the short bat. Although he missed the ball in the end, it also reminded Hirakawa.Now that no one is out and there are people on first base, it is very likely that Daoshi will choose a short stick to advance.
In other words, it is not very feasible to catch a double kill in this situation.That being the case, it's better to match the ball normally.
In the end, Yamaoka hit a straight ball in the direction of the pitcher's mound. Sato Shimogao dealt with it. After watching around, he finally passed the ball to first base and blocked Yamaoka out.
After Yamaoka ran back to pick up the bat and descended the hill, Narimiya Ming also walked into the strike zone with a particularly dragging pace.
"Hahahaha! You still have to watch me at the critical moment! Even if I'm moved to the back end, so what, you still have to watch me play!"
"Shut up! Play hard!"
"Come on, Ming!"
Cheng Gongming's voice was so loud that everyone in Daoshi's rest area heard it, and the reaction in the rest area was very different.
Hirakawa, who looked down at the glove, ignored Naruto Naruto. Just from the performance on the mound, Naruto Naruto was very arrogant.In terms of attack, he is just a suicide stick for Daoshi.Getting an out from him is fundamental.Hirakawa was wondering if there was a way to expand their income.
Narimiya is the left hitter that Hirakawa has been waiting for for a long time, but in this situation, Hirakawa prefers that Narimiya is a right-hander, because in this case, Narimiya is more likely to hit the third base side.
Forget it, let's take a step by step.
Hirakawa gestured for a changeup, and Sato's changeup was undoubtedly the best choice in terms of the ability to catch double kills.
Facing this speed ball, Narimiya Ming swung the bat coolly, and then failed.
"Don't swing the big stick, bastard! You're going to throw the ball soon! What if you strain it!"
Cheng Gongming retracted the bat, put it on his shoulder again, and began to recall the ball just now. If he guessed correctly, the ball just now was the changeup that the pitcher in front of him was most proud of.
The change is really good, let him swing the bat directly and fail, but then he will never be fooled a second time!
When Narumiya was eager to hit a changeup ball, Sato stuffed him with another changeup ball, and the result was this.
"Pong."
After hitting him, Cheng Gongming's expression was not good at all.
The touch of the ball just now was completely different from what he had imagined!And he seems to be playing in a not-so-good position.
The shortstop of Yang Gakuen picked up the ball and threw it to the third baseman to block the rushing Yoshizawa, and then the third baseman made another pass to block the batting Narimiya.
6-4-3, a very rare three-base pass and one-base double-play defense!
