And isn't this the case in every class? The seniors Yuki Captain and Isashiki in the previous class were very difficult to deal with at the beginning, but then they gradually became familiar with each other and gave each other back-to-back trust. From then on, the third grade became a whole.
"Tch!" Kuramochi admired Kōshū's ability as a pitcher, but for some reason he felt unhappy deep down in his heart. He didn't know whether it was because he was unhappy with Kōshū's management of his friends, or because it had always been smooth sailing.
"I asked, have you been hurt or something?" In psychology, if you hate someone when you first meet them, they must be similar to the person who bullied you. This is how people's learning-early warning system has formed a complete set of protection mechanisms over thousands of years.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
As a result, the opponent put on his helmet and went straight to attack, leaving Kuramochi alone to doubt himself.
But Kuramochi was right about one thing. Kōshū really felt anxious.
Furuya started five games, and the more he threw, the better he got. He could also quickly suppress the opponent, and even seemed a little stronger. The only thing that gives Kōshū some comfort is the easy golf shots that appear from time to time, which shows that Furuya is still far away from being complete.
After six rounds, Eijun took over. Although not as accurate as Kōshū, he was able to make good use of the gap between Inside and Outside Corner Ball to create outs. And the unique pitching posture has always made it difficult for the opponent to adapt.
"Supervisor, please let me do the next two rounds!" When it was agreed to change pitches, Eijun still asked the supervisor for instructions straightforwardly.
Kataoka's eyes behind his sunglasses glanced sharply at the opposing pitcher twice, "A runner, as long as you let someone On Base, you will be replaced."
"Hi!!"
At certain times, this pitcher is really brave, and one can't help but wonder, how would he perform if he faced the situation that Kōshū often faces? Having courage and being able to perform normally are two different things.
'If Kōshū is here, there is no need to think about this. ' The supervisors and players did not expect too much from Eijun's courage.
In the first half of the ninth inning, after a crisp sound, Eijun was directly replaced.
However, the whole game was passed peacefully. Kōshū ran to the home plate and lined up to salute. They were stared at curiously by many players from the opposing team so many times that the smile almost froze on his face.
'Narumiya Mei That guy, could it be possible that he told other people too? Why are they looking at me? ' This is where Kōshū has a guilty conscience.
After failing again, Narumiya Mei and his friends realized that if Seido and Kōshū were not defeated, not only would Chunjia be out of the game, but it would also be difficult for Hajia to qualify next year. So after they repaired, they started the tour directly, and now they have no time to spread the news about Kōshū.
"Sneeze!" Kōshū, who was thinking wildly, suddenly sneezed, "Who is thinking about me?"
It is said that one sneeze means 'someone is thinking', two sneezes means 'someone is scolding', and three sneezes means 'cold'.
Common sayings and facts are sometimes closely related.
At this time, in the stands, a group of people were staring at Kōshū who was slowly running back to Dugout.
"That pitcher didn't play today?" Todoroki Raichi, who had a scar on his face, seemed to really want to see that pitch again with his own eyes.
Yakushi High School, which has already been confirmed to qualify, all the main players stayed to watch this game.
"It's really distressing. Even if that pitcher doesn't play, today's pitcher Fastball is not easy to deal with!" Coach Todoroki complained about the next game to the reliable ace, just like Izakaya complained about work with his colleagues.
"Haha, let's see in the next game." Sanada still looked cheerful, with no trace of sadness on his face.
"Sneeze! Who is scolding me!" Kōshū rubbed his nose and focused on the schedule, "The next game is the semi-finals with the pharmacist. If you win, you will definitely be selected for the Meiji Jingu conference. There is also hope for the Spring League next year." '
He is still calculating whether his recovery time can catch up with the team's important games.
'The schedule has not been handed in yet, the priority of this is First Year of High School. And you may be called back to make changes again, so be sure to take this time into account. '
Kataoka Manager is a man of his word. Even if the ace recovers, he will not give the green light if he has not thought clearly.
However, Kōshū felt difficulties as soon as he started writing.
'By the way, what's the difference between me and the designated pitchers in professional baseball? '
At last year's draft, the one Professional Team grabbed the most was Tanaka Masahiro.
'Sure enough, it's the speed of the ball and the performance of the pitching. Bullpen no matter how good his pitching is, he cannot be effectively eliminated in the game, which is the reason why he is not favored. In addition——'Kōshū thought about his two consecutive injuries. Maybe this will be paid a little attention by professional scouts.
After all, the pitcher itself is a consumable product. If it is injured too easily, it will be considered as a problem with the mechanism.
'The high pawn should be fine... ' Young people are allowed the opportunity to make mistakes.
Ball speed, ball speed, the current ball speed of Kōshū is around 146, and the average speed is around 140. This kind of ball speed can also be used in Koshien, but with Furuya, which can throw more than 150, it seems insufficient for comparison.
The quality, speed, and control of the ball are the points he is currently proud of, and they are also powerful weapons for him to strike out batters.
'Maybe it's time to explore again... '
All the above thoughts constitute Kōshū's current behavior.
At dinner time.
"Brother, have you eaten more than before?" Mingming always secretly picked things for himself before, but now he has a full job honestly and solidly.
"Yeah... and I'm going to pack something for dinner later."
"Brother, are you finally giving up on yourself?" Eijun was making trouble on the side, but was pulled down by Haruichi.
"Kōshū, do you want to strengthen your physique?" In fact, Haruichi has felt before that Kōshū is too thin for his height and weight. "Maezono, senior, is formulating Protein Powder. You can ask him for advice. I heard that it is a formula inherited from senior."
"Well, the initial plan was to eat six meals a day. This was formulated by the nutritionist of our team for another person during the Little League period. I asked him for the recipe and planned to follow it for a while."
"Nutritionist? Brother, what kind of team were you in before? Why is there a nutritionist?" Eijun was horrified, "Could it be that you are a prince? Or a rich man?"
"Sawamura!" Kōshū then became discouraged. Really, it was so annoying. When other children were far from being aware of professional baseball, he had to remember this all the time.
