Being fooled, several people around had hashtags on their foreheads one after another, and Haruichi grinned awkwardly.
"Is this your method!?"
Everyone who was still looking forward to the shocking words was angry. If this person hadn't been needed to pitch, the audience would have witnessed the violence committed by the Seido team.
"Stop talking nonsense," Miyuki glanced at the pitcher and said to the defensive players in the infield, "Infield In later."
"Okay!" Everyone dispersed.
"The next one is the four-ball game. You must get back into shape as soon as possible." Both players know that Kōshū is still in a downturn.
"Trust me." The pitcher is now a cooked duck, the body is cooked through, and the mouth is not yet soft.
So the pressure came to Kōshū, who moved his shoulders and adapted to pitching in a long-lost game.
Across the way, the next batter stared at every pitch pitched by Seido.
"Their ace has not played for several games in a row. This is no longer saving energy. It must be due to fatigue or injury caused by Koshien. He has not recovered yet." Kunimoto Manager clearly pointed out this during the pre-game analysis meeting. "If he does not play for a long time, many things cannot be made up for. Therefore, if he comes on the court midway, test more and use up more of his energy."
After injury or fatigue, it is not easy to return to your peak performance. What Daoshi has to do in the game is to consume the Seido ace's restored energy as quickly as possible, dragging him out of fatigue or injury to break out again.
'Although it's cruel.. ' Yamaoka stared closely at Kōshū's shoulders, and from the Koshien game tapes he watched continuously over the past few days, he found the differences before and after, 'His pitching action always feels a little different. '
But he had no time to think about it. The tryout was over.
'Do what I have to do! '
"Play ball!"
In the second half of the inning, with one out and someone on second base, there was a dazzling "1" on Inomi's side on the scoreboard.
Miyuki's gloves were placed in the inner corner again. He knew that Inomi's side must have already formed a plan to deal with Kōshū. So now, the goal is to drag this hitter into the rhythm of Seido so that Inami's plan cannot be realized.
In the meantime, you need to use your strong desire to attack to make the other party impatient.
The only uncertain factor is Kōshū, which is in front of the field of vision and is locked by multiple eyes at the same time.
On Pitcher's Mound, Kōshū glanced at the runner on second base, and then took a deep breath.
Finally, he came up to this place. He once thought that it was natural for him to become the ace standing here.
This feeling was shaped by the things he experienced in his limited baseball career. He seemed to only need to follow the coach's instructions and understand the various pitching skills. After that, there would be no need for competition, and it would mean that the team was standing in the ace position.
Therefore, he will manage his image in the early stages of high school to create a reliable appearance, but that is a natural expression of his inner character, not based on the desire for this Pitcher's Mound and ace.
Of course, once again, naturally, he became the trump card of the new team.
If it weren't for the injury, his smooth journey would probably continue like this. It will take a long time before he can feel the feeling of truly competing for a position.
'Having not experienced the life of an average player... Senior Maezono sees it very clearly. This private comment about Miyuki is also very suitable for me. '
Kōshū stepped out. At this moment, all the muscles in his body were eager for an intense game.
The power is transferred from the ground to the upper body through rotation, and then the sensitive fingertips rotate the entire ball.
When he took the shot, Kōshū already knew that this was a good shot.
Inami had four bats, and when he saw the opposing pitcher's official first ball, he could clearly feel the burst of power.
White Shadow arrived suddenly, getting closer and closer to Home Plate, and all four bats could feel the wind brought by the ball stabbing his body.
The original plan has now been eliminated. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Sacrifice Bunt to eliminate the power of the ball, but it is easy to fail.
Yes, as Inami's fourth club, Yamaoka has no intention of having a big one. Although I was thinking about how to make this ace who has not played recently lose his status, the most important thing is obviously to continue the offensive of this inning and let the runner stand on third base.
"Bang——" The game between the two sides disappeared in an instant, and the white ball had entered the catcher's glove.
"Good shot!"
This ball was thrown very cleverly, and it hit the base just off the edge of Strike Zone.
'The style, the style is completely different. '
With only one ball, Yamaoka could already notice the obviously different styles of the two pitchers Seido.
If we really want to say it, the Furuya ball is like a living thing, roaring towards us, which makes people even more afraid of the speed of the ball itself.
As for Kōshū, the baseball in his hands is more like a weapon. Even if the ball has been released, there are still traces of his control. What is scary is the pitcher behind the ball.
'Accurate ball selection, you must be careful from now on. ' The four-ball player knows that this pitcher has several good pitches. In this case, he needs to select the ball accurately, otherwise he may end up being played around.
Yamaoka looked at Dugout. Kunimoto Manager did not type a new Signals, indicating that everything was still carried out according to the original plan.
"Huh..." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, exhaling the air in his lungs, and at the same time getting rid of the impression of the ball just now.
The runner on second base is also keeping an eye on the duel at home plate, preparing to rush to third base once Sacrifice Bunt goes out.
"Nice!"
Miyuki passed the ball back to the pitcher and looked at the interaction between the runner and the batter with his peripheral vision.
'The plan is all on my face, but the second good goal is more critical... '
After squatting down to Home Plate again, the new Signals had already formed in his mind.
'The inner angle is low. '
Kōshū nodded, under such circumstances, this is the only way.
Use the power of Inside Corner Ball to put the hitter Sacrifice Bunt at a disadvantage, and it is best to fail.
Turning his attention to second base again, the runner was stared at and his feet shrank inwards.
'It's really a good scene for me. It's such an exciting showdown every time. '
On Pitcher's Mound, there are fierce steps, smooth pitching movements, a chain of strength running through the whole body, scientific force-generating movements, and the final move of the ball.
The batter decided to take action this time, and the moment he pitched the ball, he held the bat horizontally in front of him.
"Sacrifice Bunt!"
"The four sticks turned out to be Sacrifice Bunt??"
The audience had not expected to see such a scene, and many people were surprised.
But the next moment, they couldn't care less.
"Touch——"
In the eyes of the four bats, the ball invaded and hit the bat.
But——
Yamaoka competed with the power of the ball for a moment, and the white ball bounced forward in front of the pitcher.
"In front of the pitcher!"
I feel like I haven't gotten anything done this week, and the number of words in the novel update has also been reduced a lot. I have to get back into the habit quickly next week.
