"Are you going to be defeated and replaced like this, or are you going to survive this situation and continue pitching in the next inning?
This is a situation that tests your quality as a pitcher! "Miyuki went against the grain at this time and put pressure on Sawamura.
Kuramochi complained softly.
"... Again! I will never let you say that again!" Sawamura was completely ignited after a brief silence. Fighting Spirit.
"So arrogant!" Ryo-san cursed in a low voice.
"What about touching your head?" Seeing that the timeout was about to end, Sendou couldn't help it.
Can you touch it or not? Otherwise, why would I come here? Sendou means you are ready to take action! Otherwise, how could I fish in troubled waters?
Sendou's character is definitely impossible to be the first. He takes advantage and doesn't want people to remember him as the mastermind. He even makes the "victim" forget what he has done because of the presence of the mastermind or leader.
And several people noticed the arrival of Sendou.
"What are you running over to see again? Come back with me to guard!" Before Sendou's brief question could be answered, his neck was strangled, and Jun-san's voice came from behind.
Isashiki-senpai saw Sendou floating into the inner fields like a ghost and hiding behind everyone for a long time without coming back. He couldn't help but come over and take this problem child back.
So he just strangled Sendou's neck and dragged him away with eight-figure steps.
"Really! When did this guy come here!" Kuramochi sighed. As a former problem child, he actually sighed to his successor.
"What a troublesome guy! Well! What he said is right!" Ryo-san said with a smile.
Just when Masuko-senpai felt that his bald head was in danger, Ryo-san continued to speak. To him, it was the sound of nature.
"After the game is over, let's all touch it! Otherwise it will be unfair to the outfield players!" said Onisan.
After all, the level of shame is different when someone is touched in private or in public.
"Suck!!!"
Suddenly Sawamura started to inhale without any warning.
"Huh?" This inhalation made Kuramochi's heart skip a beat.
Captain Tetsu and Pudding-senpai at first and third base saw the opportunity and ran away. (Actually, he went back to guard)
Only the second game room is left next to Pitcher's Mound. The vicinity of Pitcher's Mound is the second game's defense range.
"I want to focus on the batter!!! Everyone on the field, please...!"
"Crack! Crack!" Kuramochi went up and kicked Ounisang and hit him on the head with a knife.
"It's so noisy!"
"Too close!"
How does it feel to be shouted at the top of your lungs by a loud voice like Sawamura, intended to be heard by the entire defense?
No matter how uncomfortable it is, Eryou wants to kill him more!
After the game resumed, the seniors on the infield fielding all felt the Maki's Fighting Spirit.
"Come here with all your strength! Sawamura!" As the leader, Captain Tetsu spoke first, and then everyone started to follow.
"Let him call over!" Pudding-senpai was the first person to respond, and he spoke again.
"Kill him! Ula!" Jun-san took a deep breath and roared throughout the audience.
As a pitcher, his feel for the ball is not that bad. Maki's previous hits also proved his ability to catch points. (I really want to complain about Sawamura! His timing or time difference is not good, otherwise he is also a strong hitter)
Moreover, Maki is over 1.95 meters tall. This frame alone represents strength!!!
If it weren't for being the ace, Maki wouldn't be able to be placed in the bottom lane.
It can be said that to a certain extent, Sawamura is the perfect Nemesis.
However, as Miyuki said, pitching is a work done by the pitcher and the catcher, not the pitcher's straight ball in the middle! (If there are fans of Major League, they will definitely complain!/Squint and smile)
Unlike Sendou, who is good at American Style Lifting Hit and has recently started to show some signs of orthodox play, Maki was cultivated in the orthodox Japanese system and is not that strong in resisting low straight balls.
If Sendou is lowered, it must be pressed to the bad ball zone, otherwise even the lower edge of Strike Zone is too high for Sendou who is tall enough. It is one of his favorite Ball Trajectory.
Therefore, facing Maki, Miyuki started with a low Ball Trajectory and a low straight ball from the outside corner (Quirk Ball, for Sawamura, a pure straight ball like Four Seam Fastball is Changeup).
"Huh!" Sawamura took a deep breath.
After that, lift your legs, step, and wave your arms!
"Phew!"
"Boom!"
"Soldiers!"
"Out of bounds!"
Maki's ball was obviously out of bounds and the ball was not high, but he used his strength to sweep it very far.
"Quirk Ball Shouldn't he miss the center of the ball? He can still hit it so far!
Sure enough, this guy is very powerful! "
Sawamura stared at the ball with his mouth wide open. He was woken up by Miyuki and looked at Sawamura with serious eyes.
Sawamura saw this ball and understood that as long as Ball Trajectory was easier to hit, the consequences would be disastrous.
This goal had a great impact on Sawamura's spirit, and Home Run of Raichi Todoroki could not get out of his mind.
However, compared to the psychological impact, the memories about Raichi Todoroki brought more to Sawamura, but he was unwilling to do so.
Sawamura's expression changed from blank to full of reluctance, as well as some expressions similar to anger. (The muscles near the eyebrows and nose are all inverted, and the eyes are exposed...Killing Intent!)
Miyuki relied on his experience and understanding of Sawamura to guess that Sawamura was thinking of Raichi Todoroki's Home Run, but when he saw Sawamura's expression, he also became ignited.
"He's very tall! His arms are also very long. The weakness of this type of hitter is Inside Corner Ball that hits the chest!..."
Thinking of this, Miyuki paused, because Maki and Sendou are the closest in terms of body shape. Maki is taller, and Sendou has a longer wingspan.
However, straight shots with a high inside angle have never been Sendou's weakness, so when Miyuki thought of this, he suddenly thought of Sendou, and then he was speechless...
"In short, let Sawamura continue to pitch to the outside corner. When the batter relaxes his vigilance...!" Thinking of this, Miyuki put on his gloves again.
"Eijun! Take a deep breath! Relax your body, your body will be too stiff and Maki will be killed!" Sendou shouted in the outfield.
"Who would do this? Shut up!" Sawamura turned around at the speed of light and cursed with a red face.
This guy obviously knows, but how could Sawamura admit it in front of so many people?
However, he listened to what Sendou said.
"Breathe!" Breathe in for four seconds...
After a three-second pause,
"Hoo!" Take one second to exhale.
After doing it several times, my body relaxed.
Sendou also hit the ball by mistake. He thought that Sawamura would be under mental pressure because of the previous ball. In fact, Sawamura was unwilling to give up and Killing Intent exploded. Fighting Spirit instead easily let his inexperience make him use too much force.
However, the hazards are the same, so Sendou solved this small problem by accident.
"Although it is difficult to grasp the timing and the center of the ball, Ball Trajectory can see it very clearly!" Maki thought in his heart.
"Inajitsu, Ichidai San High, and Seidou High School!
How many years has it been since the three teams were called West Tokyo top three?
I am very unwilling! Maki!
You obviously have equal power, but no matter how long you keep feeling inferior to these three teams!
I am the most unwilling to accept this! "This is simply what Coach Ugai has been holding in his heart for countless years, and even his inner demons.
The players of the three giants over the years are all the aces and four-ball players of each strong team, as well as equally famous star players.
The remaining talented but not well-known players, other players of strong teams and core players of weak teams with a certain level of strength will enter the next level of prestigious families.
The root of Coach Ugai's unwillingness lies here.
How could these players not be famous in junior high school? Even without knowing their names, they knew that they were a group of extremely talented players. As the leftovers from junior high school, they would naturally have an inferiority complex towards them.
Not to mention the three famous families, their results are there every year!
Even if Seidou has never entered Koshien, no one will think that they are not worthy of the title of the three famous families.
Not only do the three famous teams rarely lose to other teams, they also have wins and losses between them. Just two or three times a year, the victory or defeat really doesn't mean much, and the overall strength is similar.
At most, I think that Seidou has been unlucky and hasn't met a good pitcher in recent years, or that a famous junior high school player who wants to join Koshien's team hesitates and is unwilling to go when he chooses Seidou.
A player of Ming's level is not obsessed with Koshien. The three famous families have no prejudice. It can be seen from what he said when he knew that Miyuki was going to Seidou.
Although I have only been to Koshien once in recent years, the deeper meaning is actually recognition of the famous family Seidou.
Think carefully about Ming's character. If it were not a school he approved of, he would definitely be furious when he heard that Miyuki wanted to go. From the fact that he has such a venomous tongue towards seniors like Tanba, we know that he can say all kinds of ugly things that he doesn't approve of.
Including today, Inajitsu's three sticks evaluated Xianquan in a condescending tone. Although the content was to acknowledge the strength of Xianquan this year, the tone was heavy with the superiority of the three famous families over ordinary famous families.
Ming's initial evaluation of Seidou was so understated, which showed his respect for the three famous families.
On the contrary, in recent years, Seidou has the slogan "Resurrection of a Famous Family", which makes reporters feel that it is very topical every year.
Professional teams and scouts from various prestigious universities flock to Seidou players every year. At the same time, they are extremely satisfied with the players Seidou trains and teaches them every year. This shows that Seidou is not in decline at all. It is just that the school is not famous and cannot recruit students on a large scale across the country.
Many private schools support baseball, not because of their love for it, but because of its influence. If it scores Koshien and often appears in reports, it is simply the best recruitment advertisement.
Even if you don't like baseball, your family is in good condition, and you hear the name of that school all day long, and once you find out that the teaching quality is very good, and the admission rate is also high, you will naturally give priority to a school you are familiar with.
Seidou is eager to break into Koshien, and even Coach Kataoka resigned. From the school's perspective, this is the reason for changing coaches.
Only students can make money to provide services to the baseball team. For example, the tuition of the main players of the baseball team, school uniforms, nutritional supplements, including meals, and even game equipment and uniforms are all free.
If you pay for it at your own expense, raising a baseball player is extremely expensive. If calculated in RMB, it would cost more than six figures from childhood to adulthood.
Although Coach Kataoka took the initiative to resign because he was ashamed of not showing results.
Back to the game.
"Phew!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Several consecutive shots were all outside corners, the pressure was low enough, and there was also a deviation Strike Zone, and a lot of Outside Corner Ball.
For Maki, this bad ball is really far away from him.
For Sawamura's ball which is in good condition, as long as Maki doesn't hit the center of the ball, it will be difficult to get into the field.
You must know that although Sendou did not teach him any professional baseball knowledge in junior high school, and even in the infield fielding, his partners wiped his ass, he could stand still after throwing the ball.
However, Sawamura has been practicing since elementary school, and Explosive Power Menu is provided by Sendou.
Although practice cannot allow people to break through the upper limit of ball speed that their bodies can produce, it can reach this upper limit faster.
In fact, according to the precious baseball training method, it is impossible to even approach the upper limit.
Just like Fastball, a Cuban missile with a distance of 169 kilometers. Sports scientists analyzed his body and believed that his body could safely throw a ball over 170 kilometers, but he was only 169 kilometers and was injured after throwing this ball.
This is the gap.
Even if he is a professional baseball trainer, he is not an expert in explosive power. He is far behind the top experts in this field.
The training menu of Sendou is made by Coach Nakanishi himself, visiting the world's top experts in explosive power.
As well as the man with the fastest reflexes in the world, who can grasp moving objects over 300 kilometers with his bare hands, and the reflex master who drives a gym in this area, respectively asked for the menu.
But since Sendou was small at the time, the contents of the menu were all mild and harmless.
As a result of years of training in explosive power, Sawamura's ball is now at least five kilometers faster than the same time in his previous life.
Although this lead will become smaller the further this thing goes, after all, the hard data on physical fitness is there!
The more you exercise, the smaller the room for improvement is, Sendou. The development of the body is strengthened by exercising certain parts.
All that's left is to correct his posture errors and make some noticeable improvements.
If you want to continue to make progress, you can only start with technology.
In this regard, Sawamura and Furuya are the same. They are basically blank, so there are countless opportunities for evolution.
As for a player like Narumiya Mei, whose body and skills have been developed to the extreme, the only room for improvement is in ball control, and the improvement will not be particularly large.
This is also the reason why Hongo Masamune is favored by others.
In the future, the ball speed improvement of Narumiya Mei may be very small, but the ball speed of Hongo and Furuya, especially Furuya, has a lot of room for improvement.
The future limit of Hongo may be that the maximum speed exceeds 160, and the average speed must reach at least 155.
Furuya is very likely to reach an average speed of more than 160, which is simply a replica of Shohei Ohtani.
This is not an era where ball speed can determine everything, but it is absolutely impossible without ball speed. This thing determines the upper limit. Those who can become top pitchers in Major League, unless those Knuckleball pitchers are basically 160 plus.
Only this high speed gives the hitter almost no time to distinguish the ball type with his eyes.
If you hit a straight ball, you have to swing the bat in advance. If Changeup can only watch yourself swing the ball empty.
Top hitters all have a certain ability to guess the ball, and this is the biggest advantage of top Fastball players.
Especially the pitcher whose sinker is more than 160 kilometers away, sometimes it is difficult for catchers to catch it.
It's less than 4,300 words, and there are a lot of digressions.
Many of them are just fans of Diamond A, and they don't read very carefully when following the series, so when it comes to it, let's do some science.
Although I am almost an outsider, I always pay more attention to some theories.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
The theory of 160 kilometers of ball speed is not proposed by me. It was put forward by Major League, a top player, and scientists who study humans through baseball. It can be said that it was put forward by top sports scientists.
I remember a book published by a world-leading professor of kinesiology. The top ten most difficult sports were hitting the ball with a bat.
The football goalkeeper missed the penalty kick, but it seemed that none of the first three players scored. It was a long time ago. I am basically a layman in football, so I can't remember clearly. Please forgive me.
