In the first half of the second inning, with two outs and someone on second base, Hirano on Pitcher's Mound looked back at the runner on second base.
'With this runner's footwork, as long as he can hit the outfield, he will definitely dare to go straight to home plate. '
This coincides with Kōshū's current thinking. With the strength of Narumiya Mei, if we don't score a point here first, it will be really difficult to make any money with the current Seido's weakened line strength by several percent.
Therefore, after the pitcher's head turned around, Kōshū took two big steps towards third base.
Hayakawa's glove tilted slightly. Seeing this, Shirakawa quickly ran to second base. At the same time, Signals's pitcher, who had been watching Signals carefully just now, suddenly turned around and threw the ball toward second base.
The speed of the pitch was almost direct to the unoccupied second base. Of course, soon the second baseman Shirakawa had already run to the ball and caught the ball.
"Safe!" Kōshū has never felt that his reaction ability has been tested more than now.
After being glanced at just now, everyone's attention was mostly transferred to the duel at home plate. Who would have thought that the pitcher would suddenly turn around and do this. If the second baseman doesn't catch it, the ball will be thrown away.
'Inami's training is really solid, and he can coordinate with this kind of play. 'Kōshū was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Tch—" Shirakawa's glove just hit Kōshū's shoulder as he turned around. He thought Seido was eager to score now and would show some flaws.
But this time, Kōshū didn't dare to leave the second base bag too far.
Hayakawa, as the leader of the play just now, felt a little regretful that he could not get the last out number from Seido because of his long-prepared cooperation.
"Two out!"
"Hirano, come on!"
However, this can be regarded as giving the pitcher a lot of peace of mind. At this time, Hayakawa began to pitch Signals to the pitcher.
Realizing that the duel was about to really begin, Lang Zhi, who was standing on Batter's Box, swallowed hard, "Hayakawa's character seemed particularly reliable when we were on the same team. Now that he is on the enemy team, he is still very insidious!" '
Hayakawa, who knows Lang Zhi very well, decided to take advantage of it, 'Lang Zhi has always hit Foul Ball or a less powerful infield ball when he hits Outside Corner Ball from before. '
Therefore, for the next ball, Hayakawa's glove was placed in the outside corner.
Hirano nodded, and the next moment, the ball came.
Lang Zhi The excellent Dynamic Vision allowed him to see clearly that it was a ball heading towards the outside corner, but the way it was spinning was slightly off.
I was determined to watch the ball carefully and take note of it. This ball Lang Zhi has no offensive flavor at all.
Sure enough, the ball flew halfway, and its entire trajectory headed toward the outer corner.
Hayakawa has jumped upright, alerting Kōshū on second base to steal the base. Although there was a move of teaming up to kill second base just now, the runner looked much more honest, but Kōshū is on Koshien. People who have the experience of stealing third base need the catcher to be vigilant at all times.
"Bad ball!" At the same time, Kōshū returned to near second base.
Because the runner was on second base, the first pitch was Slider, which turned into the outside corner of the foul zone.
'Very cautious! ' Both sides of the duel on the field all thought of this.
However, the moods of the two sides are slightly different. Daoshi, who is on the verge of danger, throws himself into arrest, obviously hoping that someone will come forward.
As for Lang Zhi, he was much happier and silently said to himself, 'This ball path is indeed not a straight ball. ' The next time he sees this kind of ball path, he will be sure to judge it immediately. Of course, whether he can play it well is another matter.
Speaking of Dynamic Vision of Lang Zhi, we have to mention Coach Kinoshita of Kinoshita Little League. If he hadn't pulled Lang Zhi to do experiments, maybe Lang Zhi's eyesight would not be as good as it is now.
Everyone at Kinoshita Little League knows about this matter, including Hayakawa of course.
'You can't show him too many pitches, as long as you use the same pitch repeatedly, he will see it. ' From Home Plate, Hayakawa can see the traces left on Lang Zhi during these few months of high school training.
If Lang Zhi had no eyesight and no physique before, now Lang Zhi is slowly approaching the primary stage necessary for a strong hitter.
So, after a moment of thinking, Hayakawa formulated a strategy.
"Bad ball!" A Inside Corner Ball, Lang Zhi put away the bat and identified it as a bad ball.
Next came a high-angle Slider, and the hitter didn't move at all.
"Bad ball!"
Hayakawa called three missed balls in succession, but Lang Zhi saw through them all.
Now it is a three-goal situation. Now Inami's shooting is at a disadvantage, and he must grab the number of good balls.
But right after, Lang Zhi stepped out without hesitation.
"Bump--" This ball only moved about one ball further to the strike zone than the third outside corner ball. Lang Zhi sensitively captured the change in the path of the ball and hit it fiercely between the first and second bases.
The powerful pitch penetrated the defense, but was recovered in time by the chasing right fielder.
"Wow -" Seido couldn't help but sigh. Arranging Lang Zhi behind Kōshū was indeed useful.
If you can't fight out, you will face the punishment of the demon brother. Relatively speaking, things like playing smoothly and getting low have become distant and less fatal things.
Haruichi hid behind Eijun and said proudly, "Lang Zhi's batting average in the last few games has been around 40%. His Dynamic Vision and ball feel are really good."
It's just that the muscles grow too slowly and you can't hit them even if you see them. This is what Lang Zhi has been complaining to Haruichi. 'If Lang Zhi can improve his physique in the winter, maybe he can improve his batting to the front next year... 'Haruichi couldn't help but feel like he was being pursued urgently.
"Huh?" Eijun, who was also among First year five-man group, immediately turned his attention to Haruichi.
"What... what's wrong?" Haruichi couldn't stand Eijun's gaze.
"Haruichi, do you have that?" Eijun seemed to be a black market contact. When Haruichi asked, "What are you talking about?" Eijun winked and said, "That's it, a secret book for combat or something like that."
"How can there be such a thing!"
Seido and Dugout were noisy, and Kōshū frowned amidst the optimistic cheers.
It's one step away from Home Plate, but Inami's arrest must have heightened his vigilance. In this case, the hitter Seido came up was the relatively weak eighth bat Tojo.
'One point! ' Tojo stood on Batter's Box, his mind came alive, 'One point! But it must penetrate the infield! '
Hayakawa looked at Dugout at this time, making a decision in his mind, 'Should Narumiya play now? Is it too fast? If it comes so early, in the later stage, Seido's hitter will easily become familiar with the ball path. '
No matter how mature Hayakawa is, he still cannot bear the responsibility for the team's loss of points and has no confidence.
But Kunimoto Manager simply shook his head, indicating to Hayakawa to continue.
'Aren't you going to let Narumiya play? Do you believe my deployment? 'Hayakawa turned around, looked at the obviously excited batter on Batter's Box, and had an idea in his mind.
No, I've been watching Lord of Mysteries for a whole day. The second update will be at 12 o'clock on Sunday.
It's almost one o'clock in the morning after I finish writing this chapter. I can't bear it anymore and want to continue reading Mystery 555.
By the way, people always say that after writing a novel, I can't help but analyze various plot lines when reading other people's novels.
I don't feel this way at all, I just feel that I am being guided by the author...
Feeling a bit incompetent
