Mima Soichiro, the On Base rate in this conference exceeded 60%.
Coupled with Bailong's consistent mobility, the On Base bag is like a bulldozer.
Kōshū faced Bailong's Mima as soon as he entered the fifth game.
Seido shouted the slogan of the resurrection of the famous family, and finally began to come to the Koshien arena continuously, so familiar faces also appeared.
For everyone in White Dragon, what impressed them most about Seido's current ace was his former left field defense.
What emerged in Mima's mind was that laser-like pass, combined with the first baseman's catch, which confiscated one of his singles.
Now in the duel again, Kōshū has become the ace, and the ball speed has reached 150. Of course, Mima also thinks that he has grown a lot.
'Be careful, I don't have a chance to adjust you now, you need to be in the best condition right from the start. 'Miyuki seriously informed Kōshū before taking the field. At this time, without any further hesitation, he directly placed his gloves in the inside corner.
"Huh——" On Pitcher's Mound, Kōshū took a deep breath. This is the smell in the center of Koshien Stadium.
Then he raised his legs high, and his muscles tightened for a moment.
When he raised his hand, the feeling of pitching that he had memorized through hard training condensed on his fingertips, and then a white light exploded, aiming directly at the inside corner of the batter.
The wind direction and line of sight on the court are all drawn by this ball shadow.
On Batter's Box, Mima accumulated their strength, just waiting for the ball shadow to approach, and then exploded together.
Close, close.
'Inner corner! ' Before the conclusion was reached, the batter had already swung the bat.
"Bump--" The audience sitting on the high platform lost track of the shadow of the ball after the Batter's Box duel.
"Good shot!"
But the hitter, pitcher, and catcher didn't move, and they probably fell outside.
Sure enough, two seconds later, someone's eyes were already positioned on the sidelines.
"150 kilometers!"
"The hitter is also very powerful. The initial velocity of that Foul Ball ball is probably very scary, and the trace is lost in an instant."
"But isn't it bad now? Bailong hasn't broken through the last pitcher yet, so he has to get familiar with it again."
Suddenly, the consensus above the stadium rolled like a cloud, including all the players of Hakuryu High School.
'Last year's Hagar quasi-winner seemed to be a duel between him and Hongo from Kyoma University. '
'That speed and accuracy are not good. '
No one really said these words, but there was a tacit understanding between everyone's eyes. This is human nature.
However, Mima doesn't want to leave in a hurry. He won't be able to get familiar with each other in the first round, and he also wants to cause some trouble to the opponent.
But more troublesome is, "Good shot!"
A straight ball hit the outside corner and the ball count was already full. Mima did not swing the bat. He was about to throw away the bat On Base, but heard the referee behind him calling a strike.
"Batter's out!"
"Ambiguous balls are about to go out." Mima gritted his teeth and passed the ball to the next bat. Currently, the pitcher Seido is best at throwing such ambiguous balls, and then using the inherent impression of the referee to create a safe out.
"Yeah! I know!" Bailong had a lot of discussions on Kōshū's pitching accuracy at the analysis meeting the night before, and the final conclusion was--
Unless the pitch is ridiculously off, you must be prepared to hit the ball and follow it until the end.
Of course, they also knew that in order to save energy for the next game, Kōshū would inevitably trick them into taking the initiative.
This is a clear plan on the table.
'Oh, the batter is so tight, let's put Matsushita in the outside corner first. 'Miyuki thought naughtily.
Kōshū couldn't help but smile inwardly when he saw Pitching Strategy's instructions.
Looking at the batter's state of facing a powerful enemy, he understood that Mima's outing just now probably put a lot of pressure on the next batter.
In this case, let's use Slider in the outside corner to cheat a swing.
Pitcher's Mound has renewed his fighting spirit. This time he does not need to use all his strength, but the touch of his fingertips must be sensitive enough.
And the arms should be slightly lower, not much, so it's hard to tell from the hitter's perspective.
The effect of such a slightly flatter shot is——
From the batter's point of view, a ball is heading straight for the red center position. Even if the alarm goes off in the head, it is suspected that it is not a straight ball.
The body is still moving, how can one resist eating the meat placed next to his mouth?
But halfway through the swing, the ball's trajectory suddenly changed, almost right in front of the batter's eyes, and quickly veered toward the outside corner.
'hateful! Fooled! '
"Bump--" The shock coming from the head of the bat was not solid, and the ball fell near the first base line.
The eyes attracted by the sound quickly understood that they were about to be eliminated.
"Batter's out!"
"Don't think about that Slider. As we said during our discussion, you must wait until the end before making a pitch!" He was tricked into making a pitch by the first pitch.
"Yeah!" Liu Bang nodded solemnly. He still felt uneasy in his heart. He had to follow the ball until the end before releasing the bat, which required the swing speed to be fast enough.
Miyuki Put yourself in the batter's position, and you can understand what the batter is thinking at this time.
'Really, if Kōshū is on the enemy team, that will be trouble. Although the maximum ball speed is not as good as Furuya, its accuracy and control of the overall stadium atmosphere are beyond the reach of Furuya. '
The combination of ball speed and accuracy is what is scary about a pitcher, and there are two such pitchers in this year's Spring League.
"Another breakout year for a pitcher!"
Sitting behind the many cameras behind Home Plate, many scouts are sitting here.
"Yes, these players with ball speed in this class all entered the draft in the same year."
At that time, it will depend on the wrist of each Professional Team.
Seido There are always many familiar faces walking back and forth on the sidelines, except for the OB, they are the scouts.
Some scouts also came to contact Kōshū.
But it's still early before the draft, and there are still two years left in his high school career, so there are big changes in the middle.
So Kōshū thought that most of them just came to show their presence and did not bring any help. Only the scout from SoftBank heard that he needed to check the latest physical condition, so he enthusiastically introduced the cooperative hospital.
However, he is still relatively familiar with the hospital that Kinoshita Little League cooperates with. The last time he tested Bone Density there, he met Coach Ninomiya's son. It is said that young Coach Ninomiya will take over the Little League team in a few years.
The baseball information he heard in the United States during this period made him fascinated.
When he was still in China in 2005, the information he had access to described the United States as a beacon of freedom. Compared with the backwater-like social atmosphere in Japan, it seemed that it was better there.
Vaguely, he had some intention of going to the United States to play baseball.
Of course, this is all a story for later. The most important thing now is the match with Bailong.
I saw the pitcher stepping out again, kicking up a little bit of sand, wrapping around his spikes and flying into the air.
Then he was carried forward by the next wave of play, straight towards the batter.
"Pa--" The ball was accurately embedded in the high inside corner, a position where the six-stick has always performed poorly.
"Damn it--" was severely targeted. Three balls went straight into the inside corner, confirming that the batter could not hit the ball.
"Good shot!"
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense!"
Friday is equivalent to going to have a group dinner. One-third of the money originally prepared for team building after the epidemic was spent on food. There were three rounds of vegetables on the big round table, and everyone was busy eating.
The atmosphere became a little better. The director suddenly said that she would definitely leave after the merger of the center. If you are curious about anything, you can ask her now.
Then all of a sudden, there was no movement at the dinner table. The mountain of lobster on someone's plate fell over, causing everyone to look at him. In fact, everyone didn't know who they were looking at, they just wanted to focus their attention on a certain place.
Hey, direct relatives are rampant in the company, and doing well is not as good as having good relationships.
If another person becomes the director after the merger, he will definitely have to keep his original person if he is laid off.
Then it will probably be difficult for those of us
Moreover, I guess I won't like the work content after the reform.
Therefore, if there are going to be layoffs next, I will probably take the initiative to apply for N+1
