"Five sticks! Backbone, Sendou-kun!"
"Five sticks! Backbone, Sendou-kun!"
"This hitter is No. 1 in RBIs on this team!
The strange thing is that he will hit a lot of bad balls, and the real trouble is that he will often give up hits.
This is a double-edged sword. You have to try your best to block the Low Ball path and make the shot a little bit wrong. If he takes a shot, you will make money, but in this situation, you can't walk him.
Just like that one-bat, the super-fast footwork leads to a too high scoring rate after getting on base.
To be honest, this guy is the most difficult hitter on the line. "Coach Ugai is most wary of Sendou. This is not a hitter who can do anything Great Luck with a walk.
The batter can only walk when there is a runner in front of him or when there are two outs. The rest of the time, most of the time, he can only decide the winner.
"The first goal is probably Outside Corner Ball!" It's not easy to hit the first pitch, so I made a bold prediction.
But after mastering the new ideas, even if he predicts Ball Trajectory, he will completely leave it to his body to deal with it, greatly increasing his error tolerance rate.
"Fight it out! Sendou!"
"Let's have a big one!"
While Sendou was thinking, the sidelines were filled with support songs and cheers from supporters.
Even though Maki has longing for Seidou and hates her out of love, he will not underestimate the first grade Center Batting Lineup standing in front of him.
This is the reputation Sendou has built with hard power.
Maki even had the idea of being a player invited by Seidou.
It seems that Seidou didn't invite him to comfort himself. To be honest, Maki was not discovered simply because Rei-chan didn't watch his game.
Take Rei-chan's memories of the third grade. The reason why Tanba is favored in the first grade is his height. It is impossible to remain indifferent after seeing Aoki's height, not to mention that Aoki does not have the mental problem of Tanba.
Japanese high schools do not have a quota limit for sports invitation students, but they will control the expenses. But for Aoki, if Rei-chan has watched Aoki's games, he will not care about giving him a quota.
"You must keep it down! Maki! This hitter knows how to American Style and Lifting Hit." Yagi made a downward movement.
Aoki nodded cautiously.
"First goal!"
"Here it comes! Outer corner! Huh?"
Seeing that the ball was relatively high, Sendou secretly thought he was lucky and his body started to act. At this time, the ball began to change.
"Ping!"
"Bang!" The ball hit the ground at an extremely fast speed.
"Out of bounds!"
"It's so dangerous! It would be dangerous if this ball goes in."
"It's that feeling again! Before the brain sees the change of the ball, but has not yet commanded the body, the body moves on its own.
Is this the sequelae of giving great authority to instinct?
It would be wrong not to say it is a sequelae, it is an advantage!
But, what is going on? "Sendou quickly recalled the process.
"I don't understand at all! What's the difference?" Because of the competition, Sendou could only give up and continue thinking.
"This is the swing of a first-year bat! It's the first curveball I've ever seen, and looking at his swing, I probably didn't expect it to be a curveball at all!
Can it be beaten out like this?
It should be because this guy of the same stature cast Ball Trajectory against him, so the gap couldn't be too big!
But how should we match the ball? "
"Use Low Ball, deviation Strike Zone balls and high bad balls to decide the outcome with him!
Otherwise, you will have to face six and seven sticks when there are people in the scoring circle, so you must be prepared to lose points.
There is a high probability of losing one run on a hit or a walk, so why not decide the winner here! "Coach Ugai is conducting the command.
There is no way, as I said before, Sendou is very tall.
This means that his lower edge of Strike Zone is much higher than that of others. If it is not biased enough for Sendou who is good at Lifting Hit, it will become the easy-to-play Ball Trajectory.
Lifting Hit is the swing method that is least afraid of this kind of up and down drop.
Low Ball, which deviates outward from Strike Zone, also needs a higher bad ball to match it. This makes his drop ball not so useful against Sendou.
It's no use being envied by others. Height is something you are born with. For example, Ou Nisang's short legs. The advantage is that Strike Zone is smaller than Sendou. Pitchers with poor ball control will throw a lot of bad shots. The disadvantage is that he really controls the ball at a very low position, making him very difficult to hit.
It is very likely that the ball very close to the ground entered Strike Zone. Do you feel uncomfortable?
Maki restrained the small man and was in turn restrained by the big man who was good at Long Hit Low Ball. However, it is a pity that only Sendou barely qualified.
Senior Tanba is of adequate height, but his striking ability is...
In fact, these are just what Xianquan's Coach Ugai thinks, because he doesn't know the reason why Sendou takes action against bad balls, and he can't distinguish between good and bad.
"Say!" Sendou said to himself like Amakusa in autumn before swinging the bat.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Yo west! I'm chasing him!"
"You can keep up with the rhythm! Sendou!"
"Hey! Sendou's shortcoming of not being able to tell the difference between good and bad shots has not been exposed. It's really great. Although he is often chased, he doesn't have to worry that the opponent will always shoot more bad shots than him." Senior Chris was speechless when he saw this situation.
"Hmph! There's no time to worry about his little shortcoming now!" Coach Kataoka snorted!
"Are those guys coming?" Sendou on the court looked toward the audience from time to time and continued to talk to himself.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"I already have some impressions of the trajectory of the curveball. This straight ball..." Sendou said that the ball was too wide and difficult to hit.
"This guy! Is he in such good shape today? Huh? Is this guy looking at me?
No, this guy is looking at the Seidou logo on my team uniform with a longing look on his face?
That's right! If I remember correctly, this guy wants to join Seidou!
Later, I went to Xianquan because I didn't have the courage to pass the general admission and the old man repeatedly invited me!
Is that why this guy is in such good shape? What a misfortune! "Everyone knows whether Sendou's misfortune is about himself or Maki.
While Sendou was still complaining, Maki had already raised his legs high.
"Phew!"
"Baga!"
"Ping!"
"Hit!"
"Left field Long Hit Ball Trajectory!"
"Safe!"
"What a pity! If the left fielder hadn't been too far back, this ball could have reached third base." I don't know what this guy is thinking. When facing a Long Hit type hitter, isn't it normal for the outfield to retreat?
"Hahaha! Nice blow!" Spring Commander Sawamura shouted excitedly.
"Nice blow!"
"I told you! No matter how good your condition is, you actually dare to throw two balls into one Ball Trajectory. Baga!
Well,... although this shot is a bit wider. "Sendou will not admit how much luck was involved in this ball. Whoever said it was a pure hit depends on the results.
"This Ball Trajectory can also hit it!" Yagi looked at Sendou at second base.
"Don't panic! It's just a coincidence that the ball almost went out of bounds.
Since there's nothing you can do if you put him on base, be prepared to lose a run! "Coach Ugai, who doesn't absolutely trust the players, still has a lot of participation in the competition.
Although he will not use Signals to give specific instructions on what Ball Trajectory to throw for each ball, he will not really assume that each team does not have someone to decipher Signals.
However, there are still a lot of general commands, unlike Seidou, which gives players such a high degree of freedom.
Sendou, who went to second base, directly presented his unique large-scale separation.
"That's it! That's it!"
"Use your steps to disturb them!"
"Concentrate on the batter!"
"You can do it today!"
"This guy can really run! But he shouldn't run away after the first ball, right?" He said Signals.
"Crack!"
"Safe!"
"Isn't this pitcher in great shape? He turns around so quickly!
But Stolen Third Base, it is impossible to succeed without leaving the base.
I like this exciting feeling. "Sendou patted the sand on his body with a happy expression.
After all, fast and furious!
So Sendou left base again.
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
This time Sendou did steal a base without the first pitch. Although it was not the first pitch as the catcher thought, it was because Aoki's turn was a little quick.
You must observe a ball and see if there is anything that can be used as information about the second base containment and pitching from the back direction to help Sendou distinguish the difference between the two.
Otherwise, it would be really cool if he steals a base when he is being pinned.
A real ball, Sendou has been found, but the reliability cannot be guaranteed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Sendou decided to steal the base later. He would rather fight for speed than give away an out because of a wrong judgment.
Moreover, Sendou is more confident in his speed than in his striking ability. Although there are risks, he does not think he will lose.
"This time, steal a step and then get going. The right-hander has a bigger turn!
I had to be a little more cautious and that would be okay. "Sendou is plausible.
This guy got the benefit late in Batter's Box. Before running the bases, he also began to instill concepts into his instincts and let his body make its own judgment.
At this time, Maki retracted his legs, but the next step of turning around was still pitching, which was not visible. The muscles in Sendou's legs were tight, and he was staring closely at his raised left leg.
Among the information Sendou instilled in his instincts, there was a line in his heart. If the raised leg was higher than that line, the center of gravity would shift and he would be unable to turn around. This was what he had just thought of. This method could be a little faster than the previous start.
However, only Dynamic Vision and Sendou, who reacted so quickly, could capture that time difference.
After all, the pitcher's leg lift speed is not fast, but it is not slow either.
In that moment!
"Steal a base!" the second baseman yelled quickly.
"Damn it!"
"Bah!" Maki still chose to miss the ball.
"Bad ball!"
But Masuko is a right-handed hitter, and the catcher needs to avoid the hitter to pass the ball.
Although the time required to bypass the hitter after extensive training is very short, it still has to be bypassed.
And facing Sendou, every 0.1 second is precious.
But Sendou made a calm analysis when he stole a base this time, and he didn't know how many 0.1 seconds he gained for himself.
"Crack!"
"Safe!"
Although it was a battle, and it was quite embarrassing. However, in this life-and-death showdown, Sendou's victory was extremely obvious.
"Sure enough, this guy is in great shape. He reacts and plays the ball so quickly!" Sendou glanced at Maki on Pitcher's Mound and thought to himself.
"This is the moment we are out! You can continue to observe Ball Trajectory before you are chased! Masuko-san!
Then all I need is an infield Ground Ball and I will definitely be back at home plate! "
Sendou's eyes were burning, and Pudding-senpai felt something.
"It may be forced to score points!" Xianquan, who didn't know Seidou's strategy, preferred that Seidou would forcefully score points to ensure first-come-first-served score.
So Xianquan's infield stepped forward, but don't get me wrong, they had no confidence in stopping the score. The speed of Sendou was outrageous. Unless the placement was very favorable, such as in front of the infielder, it was basically impossible to prevent the score.
Even if it does land in front of the infielder, they still have to work hard, so it can be said that the score is basically forced. As long as the ball hits the ground and does not bounce into the infielder's glove, they can catch the batter's out.
Sendou is so outrageous at third base. Normally he can kill runners without giving up points. He has a chance to score.
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Don't move! Don't you want to force points but strike instead?"
"Forget it! I've already hit two bad balls now, and I can't care about that much anymore! A straight ball with a low outside corner!"
"Yeah!"
While Maki was getting ready, he looked face to face at Sendou at third base.
"Steal a base!"
When Maki was pitching, Sendou suddenly jumped out a few times, scaring Xianquan's third baseman to quickly remind him.
"Don't be confused! Decide the outcome!" Maki and Yagi both know that this shot cannot miss again!
"Wooga!"
"Ping!"
However, Sendou, who was originally just pretending to steal a base to disturb the runner running back, had just slowed down and before he could shift his center of gravity and run back, he saw Masuko-senpai hitting Ground Ball out of the corner of his eye, and then accelerated straight to home plate for the second time.
Being able to accelerate instantly, then stop, and then accelerate again is probably something Sendou can do.
The performance of Sendou is similar to that of the batter hitting Ground Ball in practice, and the third base runner taking off at the moment the ball and bat come into contact.
Although Sendou left the base early and took a few steps to steal the base, his starting point was already a little more than 20 meters away from home plate.
It is possible to score points at 28 meters. Of course, scoring at 20 meters is a sure thing, not to mention that the runner is still Sendou.
"First base!" Catcher Yagi made the right call.
There was no pass back to home base at all.
"Crack!"
"Out!"
"Safe!"
In this way Seidou High School got the first point.
"What! That was just now!"
"Accelerating again after an emergency stop?"
"After completing such an action, that guy's knee was not broken?"
"It's really ba ke mo no!"
The audience was shocked by Sendou's entire set of actions.
"Nice runner!"
"Hahaha! Nice running base Sendou!" shouted from Spring Commander.
"Baga!!!
You actually did such a dangerous move, are your knees okay? "Sendou, who returned to the bench, was not all praise, but also a lesson from Sunglasses Uncle.
It's a little late today, and I wasted a little time organizing the last bit of language.
