"Let's observe together again!"
"Hey, are you observing Ball Trajectory? Then this hitter should have discovered that Eijun's ball will turn! It seems that he can't pitch a few innings just relying on the ball in the center. Since you want to observe, we are not polite to earn strikes." When the second batter saw the first pitch and decided to continue observing, Sendou under the mask glanced at the batter and mentally complained.
(Quirk Ball of Sawamura is the one that started to change before Batter's Box. The traditional Japanese playing style is Golden Rooster Stands Alone Batting Style pioneered by Sadaharu Oh, also called Scarecrow Batting Style. It means lifting the front foot so that you can use the power of stepping.
The only difference between various hitters is how much they lift their front foot. One disadvantage of this style of play is that when swinging the bat, the batter cannot see the ball when the ball and the bat are about to come into contact, that is, the ball is lost. The Sawamura ball begins to change at this time, which leads to all the batters feeling strange after hitting the ball, and they have no idea of the movement of the ball.
This is why, in the original book, except for Captain Tetsu, Li, and a few people, they only discovered the characteristics of the Sawamura ball after Batter's Box specifically saw the changes in the ball.
So if you hit the ball when you see it, it will be like the practice match between the team and the senior class, and you will not know how you died.
In addition, according to my observation, the Carter ball of Sawamura is more biased towards the normal Carter ball, that is, the change is earlier, so the change will not be visible like Quirk Ball. The later changes are biased towards Quirk Ball, so the hitter will feel that the ball has disappeared.)
"Crack!"
"Strike two!"
"The changes this time are different."
"Are you confused? Don't know what to do? Goodbye then!" He typed Signals.
"Where?" Sawamura was stunned!
"Don't hesitate! Come on!" Sendou opened his hands to show his attitude.
"It's none of my business if I make a big shot!" Sawamura thought to himself and started to throw the ball.
"What should I do? I have to swing the bat!" When the second batter saw Sawamura starting to pitch, he was so panicked that he could only forcefully swing the bat!
"Strike! Batter out!"
The last ball is a Outside Corner Ball, which does not need to be lowered, and is equivalent to a Inside Corner Ball against a left-handed hitter.
If the random changes of Quirk Ball are taken into account, the probability that this kind of ball will greatly deviate from Strike Zone is very high.
But the batter had no way out. When she saw the ball at Strike Zone, she had to take action. She had no time to think about how the ball would change. It happened that the ball continued to float outward. If it was a left-handed hitter, it might be Hit-by-Pitch.
"Nice!" Sendou had to praise Sawamura's courage. To be honest, Sawamura didn't realize that he had good ball skills, and he couldn't remember it when others told him. However, Sawamura knew that he had no control over the ball at all, so he was worried that Signals would miss the shot just now.
"This will give me more confidence! Let's take down three batters in one go and turn the situation completely in our favor!" Sendou looked at Sawamura and thought to himself.
"Sorry! That kid's straight ball is weird and turns irregularly!" The batter who was struck out shared the information with his teammates who were about to take the field.
"Huh?"
"In short, just observe one ball first and you will know, but don't observe too much. One ball can only be observed one ball.
That catcher will capture our psychology and give priority to strikes, so that we have to take action against the unknown Ball Trajectory! Don't hit the second ball with your legs raised, be more steady. "Although the second batter struck out, he still easily figured out how he was killed.
"I understand!" Although she didn't know what unknown Ball Trajectory her teammates were talking about, she still chose to believe that the trust between baseball teammates was very strong, especially the stronger the team, the stronger the trust.
"What's going on? I see you are confused. Is there any secret about that kid's ball?" Coach Mitani asked the batter who came back.
On the other hand, three batters were in place and the game continued.
"I don't know what's going on, but I believe in my teammates!" The three batters clenched their bats and made movements to hit the ball, but it was all in vain.
"The second bat must have said something to you, so it's useless no matter how you pretend, you can't swing, and Eijun's ball is not something you can hit after seeing it a few times." Sendou saw the opponent's stance and knew that the opponent would not make a move.
"In the center! Ha!" Sawamura saw Signals, raised his hands high, and showed his unique smile.
"Are you excited so easily? You guy..."
"Crack!"
"Strike!"
"... How innocent!" Sendou said the second half of the sentence in his heart after receiving the ball.
"What? It's gone?! Is this a straight ball for this kid? No, his ball movement is irregular!" Thinking of this, the batter held the bat a little shorter.
"This guy's ball is not so easy to hit! What's more, it's Wooden Bat!"
"Pong!" Another straight ball in the center, and the batter hit a very high fly ball to third base.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" the third baseman shouted to remind his teammates.
"Crack!"
"Out!"
"Yo west! Three outs to change the game!" Sendou gently pulled up the mask, got up and ran off the court.
"Why? Just an ordinary straight ball can defeat Sakura Women's University's three top players?" The Tokumei Academy junior players who were watching the game were very confused.
"Sorry! Coach!"
"Don't worry, that kid's ball is very interesting! It should be a moving ball! That kind of ball will change irregularly in your hand.
Just like Knuckleball, but the change is not as exaggerated as Knuckleball. However, the speed is incomparable to the Knuckleball, which does not rotate and relies on the power of fingers to pop up only a few dozen kilometers.
For us, it is indeed as tricky as Nemesis! And the ball speed is not slow. Remember, at the beginning of the next play, everyone should go to the front of Batter's Box to see if they can hit the center of the ball before it changes! "
"Hi!!!"
Coach Mitani learned about the characteristics of Sawamura through the players, but he had no idea what to do. Wooden Bat, who was not very good at catching points, met Fastball-style Quirk Ball, which was very fast for a girl at 130 kilometers. It was a nightmare! It can be said that hitting the ball depends entirely on your face.
"Nice pitch! Ei-chan!"
"Nice!"
"Okay, stop praising him, he's so proud that he's going to heaven!" Sendou looked at everyone praising Sawamura, and saw Sawamura's little face turning red, so he said jokingly.
"Who is so carried away that he wants to go to heaven? Sendou, you guy, can't you say something nice about me?"
"Okay, now it's our turn to attack, as usual.
We are weak, so we have to watch Ball Trajectory, get on base and steal as close as we can, put pressure on them and make them make mistakes, let's go! "
"Oh!!!"
It's too late, so I'll go to bed first! Good night
