Chapter 38: Growing Up (Part 2)

"Fifth batter, right fielder, Hakushu-san. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The fifth stick behind Yang Ping has not really been determined before. But now it's different, as the third grade works hard as a whole, Hakushu's sense of presence is getting stronger and stronger, and now he has gradually secured the fifth position of Qingdao High School.

Choosing him, Kataoka, of course, is not a whim. Hakushu's strength is enough for the core fifth stick aside, but there is one thing Kataoka is very satisfied with. That is, he can connect with Yang Ping.

Because Yang Ping often has home runs or is escorted, the position behind Yang Ping has not been easy to arrange. The blow is fierce, and it can't cooperate with Yang Ping to run the base. If you have enough hitting skills, it is difficult to ensure that you can get on the base safely when there is no one on the base.

At this time, the presence and advantages of Hakushu came out at once.

Not only does he have great coordination skills, but he also has a success rate on base......

Although his striking strength is not one of the three best in Qingdao, he is the most suitable fighter to stand behind Yang Ping.

"Whoosh!"

The first ball, sticking to the edge of the inside corner, flew into the catcher's glove.

Hakushu subconsciously took a step back.

This straight ball with a small flat head is very strong, and it feels like the ball should be very heavy, and the ball speed and ball control are also good.

What a good pitcher.

In an instant, Hakushu had a judgment on the opponent's pitcher.

After the duel with Yang Ping, the pitcher fell back to his peak condition. Not at all affected by back-to-back home runs and dropping four points.

The catchers of Kiryu Osaka are also satisfied.

Xiaoping, it's finally back to normal. As long as Xiaoping can throw his ball, it will be difficult for even a Qingdao hitter to hit his ball.

With a plan in mind, he is more decisive with the ball.

Second Ball: Low Ball in the Outside Corner!

The hitter unconsciously retreated, although with his current position, he would not be completely unable to hit the outside corner. But he could never have hit the ball into a good belt with the tip of his bat.

Even if you hit it, it's a bad ball. And before the two good balls, the bad ball is also counted as a good ball.

Go ahead, don't waste the ball, use your ball power to completely overwhelm the hitter.

Seeing the tough match given by the catcher, on the pitcher's hill, Kodaira smiled comfortably.

That's it!

"Whoosh!"

A low ball with a baseball into the outside corner.

In the cowshed of Qingdao Road.

Yang Ping's eyes narrowed slightly: Diagonal pitching, it seems that Kiryu Osaka's pitcher has very good ball control.

The inner corner closest to the hitter's eye is high, and then the outer corner farthest from the hitter's line of sight is low. I make full use of the width of the good ball belt! This kind of pitching is really tricky for the average hitter.

Miyuki: Hakushu is no ordinary beater.

The first ball was chosen to be sent by Hakushu, and the second ball took a step forward without hesitation, and then aimed at the baseball and hit it.

"Ping!"

The baseball flew to the back of the fieldfield and right field, forming a long hit.

Hakushu ran to second base in one go.

No one is out, there are people on second base.

"Well done, Hakushu senior."

"This blow is too clean."

Kanemaru and Tojo glanced at each other, both feeling the shock in each other's eyes.

Recently, the seniors in the third grade have been working hard.

I don't want to say that Yuyuki is already stronger than others, but the presence of Maezoen, Hakushu and Kuramochi is also getting stronger and stronger!

"Anyway, this is their last summer."

Kanemaru said with a little sadness.

When they left Matsukata Shaobang, they also felt this way in their last year.

I guess it's the same with the seniors of Hakushu.

As the day of retirement from the baseball team approached, they had forgotten everything else and focused on playing baseball.

"But even so, I don't plan to give up my position."

Tojo's eyes were fiery.

He only participated in Koshien once, and that was in the spring Koshien that had just finished more than a month.

I've only been to that place once and would want to go again anyway. That's how Tojo is now, he won't give up his place no matter what. Although he did not give up on returning to the pitcher's mound, he must also stick to the position of the main outfielder now.

Thinking about it, he glanced at his two rivals, forming Shoji and Aso.

A third-grade senior, a first-grade elementary school junior.

In any case, he can't afford to lose to them.

"Me too!"

Kanemaru's eyes were equally hot. Although his pressure is not as great as Tojo's, Kohi has been working hard lately. And if there are too many excellent outfielders, Yang Ping will probably return to the infield, right?

So his competitors aren't just standing up.

……

"Sixth, left fielder, formed a shoji."

In recent times, whether it is a practice match or an official match, there have been many opportunities to form a match. Obviously, Kataoka was conscious of his desire to nurture him.

But both Tojo and Aso know one thing, because the two have a wealth of competition experience, and Koshien's experience is even more precious. So although there have been more opportunities to form generals recently, they don't really think that coaches should abandon themselves.

It's just that the opportunity to form a knot is given, and the real main force is determined, and it will not be until the Kanto Tournament.

In the semi-finals and even the finals of the Kanto Tournament, the person who stood in the outfielder position at that time was the real main force of Seido.

Until then, everyone has an equal opportunity.

Looking at the formation of the strike zone on the station, Osaka Kiryu's catcher subconsciously frowned.

This guy is in the first grade.

Ignore the change ball, use the straight ball and throw it into the inside corner.

Let the little brother who is not really familiar with high school baseball understand the cruelty of high school baseball.

Although the catcher also knows that being selected by Qingdao High School to enter the first army in the first year must be very powerful. But he also knows that there is a huge gap between middle school and high school.

However, no matter how talented you are, you can't make up for the gap in just one month.

"Good ball, good ball, good ball, strikeout."

Without any spare hands, three good balls in the inside corner, Osaka Kiryu won the first number of outs.

"It's still tender!"

In the Qingdao cowshed, Takashima Li hugged his chest and said flatly.

Kataoka nodded.

It seems that it is not possible to directly regard the formation of the general as Yang Ping.

"But his vigorous swing is still worth cultivating. At least in the summer, it's not a problem to play as a substitute. ”

Immediately after Takashima Li analyzed.

Kataoka also admits that the swing of the baton of the Shoji is indeed valuable for cultivation.

One out, there's someone on second base.

"Seventh baseman, first baseman, front yard."

At this time, it was the turn of the strike in the front garden, and he walked into the strike zone like an angry King Kong.
