The Miyuki on the opposite side didn't make a sound, but he knew very well in his heart that the Slider of Kōshū was not as precise as Amakuhisa, but the overall power was even stronger.
The average straight ball speed of Amakuhisa is only in the first half of 140. This Slider will probably be around 130.
Kōshū's Slider is already close to the second half of 130 by visual inspection. When the speed exceeds 10 kilometers, it can also throw a Slider with a large displacement in a similar changing position. Every Seido player who is now facing off has a deep understanding of how difficult this kind of ball is to hit.
Ball speed is the greatest romance.
'Our opponents are playing pitches like this. '
Intra-squad Practice Match's limited ball path each time is usually the inner and outer corners of the straight ball. While testing the pitcher, it actually reduces the difficulty of the hitter. Kataoka Manager has now almost reached the extreme of protecting Kōshū's shoulders, so everyone has almost forgotten that fear after not being able to directly face their own ace for so long.
'From a hitter's point of view, it's really hard. ' Yui had only thought about the ball from the catcher's perspective.
Today was the first round of familiarization and it was coming to an end. Kōshū pitched at a very fast pace. After everyone finished their round, they did not move back to the end of the team. First, the supervisor's attitude was very clear. Second, the kind of ball has been deeply engraved in everyone's mind. It is almost useless to play again without digesting it.
"Bump--" Miyuki, who is most familiar with this pitch, took off his armor and also hit it. The third ball will be hit to the outfield.
The remaining players, who have always been the main players of the team, although they did not play well, have finally adapted. They were promoted last fall. Maezono is a high flyer, Haruichi plays in the infield, Tojo is a grounder, let alone the freshmen.
"Yeah - as expected, I still need four bats. Look at how the atmosphere has been changed by you." Everyone was almost wary of Amakuhisa's pitching, "Amakuhisa's Slider, the speed of the ball Not so fast, but the change is much greater. How can I put it this way, if you can keep up with our ace Slider with your eyes in the next two days, you can keep up with Amakuhisa in the competition. Relax, relax."
Kōshū resisted the desire to talk back in front of everyone, 'Obviously it was you who made me vote the fastest. 'Kōshū can of course vote at the speed of Amakuhisa, which would be more like it, but the captain of Seido tormented all the First String members for what he just said.
"Look at it this way, if we want to win Ichidai Third High, we must overcome this Slider." Maezono's cautious expression made Miyuki a little confused, 'Is it possible that this guy didn't realize that I just want to prevent everyone from becoming a arrogant soldier? '
"We're going to practice." As a second-year member of the team, Tojo felt that he was getting further and further away from Pitcher's Mound, so he had better hold on to the bat in his hand.
"So are we!"
Everyone who had just gathered around the net immediately dispersed. Except for Eijun, who was heartless, and Miyuki and Kuramochi, who were the secret masterminds, everyone else felt a sense of crisis, and the direction of practice for the next two days was also clear.
Kuramochi came closer and said, "Slider of Kōshū, you are in good condition today."
Because the ball speed of Kōshū and Slider is very fast, there is not much room for trajectory changes. It is likely that the ball will reach Home Plate only halfway through the change, so if the finger condition is not good, the arc may become very small.
"Well, after all, that guy has too many types of balls, but the number of practice pitches per day is limited, so I can only stabilize some of them first." Miyuki looked at the pitcher who ran to Batting Cage and was having a good time, feeling a little helpless, "Recently, this guy has always been unilaterally angry with me. Is it because I have no value?" Moreover, he had obviously realized before that he only had less than half a year left to be a partner... '
Kuramochi glanced at Miyuki, who had a very expressive expression, and then his eyes fell on the pitcher. "Is the supervisor using Kōshū's shoulders too cautious now? It's very contradictory, isn't it that trump cards need to be constantly sharpened in actual combat?"
"Indeed, it is difficult for him to sustain the complete pitch now because of the lack of actual combat. Compared with other aces, he is completely using his talent to pitch. But no one dares to touch his physical limit. The supervisor's mood is easy to understand. If you are given a stone worth 100 million yen, it is understandable that you should not be too heavy when carving."
"That's true. Fortunately, we have always adopted a follow-up investment strategy."
The sunlight leaked from the branches of big branches is the space for other small trees to grow, and the sunlight leaked from the small trees is the space for shrubs to grow. The entire Seido Pitcher Lineup is similar to the ecology of nature.
"Kataoka Manager, it's almost time to talk to the players about the arrangements for Ichidai Third High's next match." Coincidentally, in the office, several big players from Seido were also discussing this issue.
In fact, the main thing Ochiai wants to ask about is the arrangement of Pitcher Lineup. It has been more than half a year since he officially came to Seido, and he has slowly accepted Kataoka's concept of educating people above all else. But is Kōshū too cautious, which hinders the development of the players?
"This time the starter is still Kōshū, but he can pitch up to 4 innings, and then Furuya will take over, and Kawakami or Eijun will finish."
"Well," Ochiai thought in a blink of an eye that Kōshū's knee hurt after pitching seven innings, but he still didn't ask the question, "Then I have some suggestions for adjustments to the batting part..."
Discussions in the office lasted until late.
The players were already playing baseball all over the field, and Second String and the freshmen came over to help pick up the ball.
"They all hit so far, those First String people."
"Is it because I'm holding my breath? I heard that only Miyuki will play the ace in the afternoon, Slider."
"It's so foul. No wonder I just saw them finding a place to practice their swing again."
Several people were talking as they moved forward to pick up the ball. One of them looked up and saw the person in front of him, "Ah, Qingshui."
The person on the sidelines was none other than first-year Shimizu Osamu. He had a cold face, said hello restrainedly and quietly, and left immediately.
Among the few people left behind, there are second-year students and first-year students.
"I didn't say anything bad about him just now, did I?" the first grader asked.
"We didn't even mention him just now! What's the matter? Isn't that guy funny? He looked too arrogant just now." The second-year seniors only remembered his speech at the beginning of school, and they didn't pay much attention to this transparent junior. It was a bit confusing to be treated so indifferently.
"Well, among our freshmen, isn't there someone from Kyoto? He said that person's family was very terrible. He injured other people's hands, and there was no news at all. He spent a lot of money to suppress it. Later, the injured student transferred directly to a place far away. I heard that there was a lot of money, and he bought a good one-family house."
"It's so scary... How could he come in Seido?"
"It was originally said that he would enter the school in Kyoto, but the time has passed, but he can come directly Seido. It must be something more terrifying than money."
"So... we didn't talk about anything related to him just now, right?" The second-year seniors also began to reflect.
I spent an hour in the morning summarizing the next week.
1. I thought I was eating healthily, but out of the 14 meals besides breakfast, I had 5 takeaway meals.
2. I thought I was very economical, but ended up overspending two out of five budget items, so I needed to suppress other expenses to fill the gap.
3. I thought I could start the journey of 'never working again'. As a result, among the sources of income listed, there was only one novel.
However, after summarizing like this, the sense of crisis comes, and I will naturally start running later. I am still very confident in my self-control. Hahahaha, working full time is not scary, just set a flag.
